Jane called her brother and explained that Laia and Symphiny were being harassed again.

"Alright girls, you need to hurry up. You can't afford to be late to orientation."
The new students shuffled into the auditorium/recital hall for the first meeting of the school year. As they were settling down, there came a brisk CLICK, CLICK, CLICK of high heeled shoes on the linoleum floor. In walked a strikingly beautiful, red-haired woman in a black business suit with a jeweled black widow spider brooch on her lapel.
"Good morning girls. Welcome to the St. Trinians Academy for Young Ladies. For the first year students, I am Ms. Romanov, your headmistress or principal as we say on this side of the Atlantic. This school was started by Ms. Camilla Fritton of our British sister school to provide American girls with the opportunity of receiving a quality education. At this school, school we expect nothing but excellence from each and every student that passes through our doors. So work hard, play hard and you will make your families proud. Mrs. Felting, please lead us in the singing of the school song."
"All hail to thee St. Trinians!
Our alma mater true.
To learn the ways of of poise and grace
Is what we strive to do!
Building bonds of sisterhood
is our daily goal.
Becoming women of character
Will make our bodies whole!"
"Excellent girls! Enjoy your first day! And keep in mind, the upper-class will be holding an informal welcoming party this evening. So try your best to attend."
