"Clair wake up! You're going to be late for school again!"

Clair rolled over to look at her alarm clock to see the time. Yep, her mum was right. If she didn't get out of bed now, she would be late for school yet again.

She jumped out of bed and tossed on some clothes that were lying around her bedroom floor. She ran to the bathroom, brushed her teeth and brushed out her dark hair the best she could. Her hair never really did whatever she told it to do anyways.

She dashed downstairs and saw her mum in the kitchen hovering over the stove.

"Glad to see you've made it Clair," her mum said as she turned around placing the newly cooked waffles on two plates. Clair sat down at the counter near her little brother, David. David looked up at his sister and stuck out his tongue. Clair stuck her tongue back out at him; she knew how entertaining he found it when their mum picked at her for being late.

"Okay now, eat your breakfast real fast and then head off to the bus stop," their mum said while beginning to clean up the dishes.

"Where's dad?" Clair asked.

"He already headed off to work, love," her mum answered, "He had an early meeting today."

David was trying to sneak one of Clair's waffles off her plate, but he wasn't fast enough and she poked his hand with her fork. "Ouch! That hurt Clair!" David squealed out.

"Oi! Clair, stop bothering your brother!" their mum said while glaring at Clair. "Now just go ahead and head off to the bus stop before you miss the bus again."

They both went to the door and got their backpacks. David smirked at Clair and all she could do was roll her eyes at him. She wasn't in the mood to mess with him this morning. They opened the door and saw other kids walking to the bus stop down their street.

"Okay now, you two have a good day at school" their mum said as she stepped out the door with them and gave them each a kiss on their forehead, "And please don't get into any more trouble today." She waved to them as they walked down with other kids to the bus stop at the end of the little street.

Clair let David go ahead as he ran into some of his little friends. She really wasn't in that great of a mood today. The past few days of the beginning of her 10th year in school, hadn't been the best so far. She wasn't good at sports, she felt awkward in clubs, she daydreamed too much, and always talked back to the teachers for asking stupid questions. She felt out of place in her school. She would rather sit under a tree and read a book or learn about other countries or other planets. She wanted to explore the world. But for now, she was stuck where she was.

She had been daydreaming again while walking to the bus stop when all of a sudden she heard somebody down an alley. She stopped where she was and looked down the small alley to see a large blue box just sitting there. It looked so out of place. She looked around her and nobody was there.

"How could anybody not notice this thing here?" She thought to her herself.

Next to the big blue box was a skinny, tall man who had his ear to the door of this box.

"What's wrong with you huh?" he whispered to himself. He took out this tool from his pocket and scanned it over the box. "Hmmm why did you bring me here? I didn't tell you to bring me here now did I?" he said to himself again. This time he opened the door and walked in.

This whole time, Clair had been looking at him and once she saw him disappear into the box, she decided to walk closer. "Who was this strange man?" She thought to herself. She was curious as to what he was doing and why he had walked into this box. She stood right in front of the doors and just stared at it.

It looked like a normal Police Box she had seen in her history books from school. But why was it here? She put out her right hand and touched it. Nothing happened. It was just solid wood. But that man had been in there for a while now. What in the world could he be doing in such a small space? She placed her hand on the handle. She could see light flickering through the windows and hear bangs and clangs coming from inside.

"Wait do I really want to know?" she thought to herself again. She then heard the bus from down the road honk it's horn for any remaining stranglers, like herself. The bus was here. But then again, it's not like she couldn't just sneak her bicycle out of the garage and go to school that way. She had done it before and still made it in time. So she could follow her curiosities this time and no one would know.

She slowly pushed open the door and peeked inside. She saw the tall, skinny man running around this giant console on a platform. She was completely shocked. She stepped back and looked around the large blue box. She knew it was large but not that large. She peeked back into the box and saw the man again.
