High school: the monster of all places, social suicide, everything bad in the whole universe wrapped into one. And now she, Molly Hooper, was going into another school in the middle of the year. And it was a boarding school. She was being shipped off from her home to live with people that she didn't know and especially in the middle of the year. Her father had lost his job and gotten a better job. Her father and mother had decided that it was best that she go to a boarding school because her father had to work late. Her mother was getting a job to pay for the high prices of housing. 'This is a great opportunity' her mother had told her. "You can meet new people and it will be fun." Molly rolled her eyes. She knew what school was like and what teenagers were like. She knew that boarding school wasn't going to be any different.
"Bye sweetie!" her mother yelled as Molly walked up the wooded path to the boarding school with all her baggage. She turned around to see of her mother was still there. As she thought, her mother's car was gone. 'They've left me' Molly thought. She walked through the wrote iron gates with little optimism.
She came out of the wooded path to see three huge, old looking buildings. Two of them were smaller and off to the side of the bigger one. Molly decided that the other building was the academic building based on the fact that above it hung a sign saying "Saint Mary's Boarding School". She walked into the school to see huge halls and fancy pictures. "May I help you?" a snarky lady said to Molly's left. Molly realized that she had zoned out and turned to see the woman looking at her through an office window. The woman was old and snotty looking. She had a look of disapproval at Molly and all her luggage.
"Oh, I'm the….the new student. My name's Molly Hooper" Molly stuttered. The woman nodded and looked at a list she had on her desk. She took a piece of paper and gave it to Molly. 'This is your class schedule. And this" the woman said handing her another piece of paper "is where you locker is and what room you are in the dorm. This" another piece of paper is handed to Molly "is what your classes will most likely be next year. You counselor's name is on there. DO you have your uniform?"
"Um, no. Do I need a key to my dorm?"
The woman rolled her eyes and went into a back room. Molly stood there awkwardly not sure if she was supposed to follow.
"Margaret? You need to be in here to get your uniform."
"Um…My name's Mo…"
"What size are you?" the woman interrupted.
"Oh, um.." Molly said getting behind the desk to walk to the room.
"These should do. " the woman said coming back with things in her arms "Shirt, tie, sweater, tights, skirt. And here is the key to your room." She said giving the things Molly. "Now go get settled in your room."
"Oh, yea. Thanks" Molly said, trying to grab her luggage and the things she had been handed. It took her awhile and she could feel the woman's eyes on her as she stumbled out of the school. She made her way over to the girl's dorm and pushed the door open with her foot. She heard the soft roar of girl's chatting and yelling. The moment she got through the door she could feel all of their eyes on her. She could even hear some of them whisper about her. 'why is she here? Wow look at her. She isn't that pretty. She looks so shy' were just some of the things she heard them say. She made her way to a door to find that it lead to stairs. She signed and started to slowly make her way up the stairs. Everyone stared at her, but none of them offered any help. 'I've spent about twenty minutes at this school and I already feel like an outcast.' Molly thought. She kept shuffling up the stairs till she made it to the door. She opened it and heard a yelling voice. She looked up to see a bucket of water falling over her. She tossed her things aside to the stairwell just before she felt the cold water fall over her head.
