Chapter 1
"Christine wake up! It's the first day of school and you don't want to be late!" I heard a voice yell up to me. I groaned as I sat up in bed. Damn it. I hate going to school. Especially a new school I thought as I got out of bed. I walked over to my mirror and looked at my reflection. My face was pail, which was not too unusual for someone who lived more north for most of her life. My dark brown curly hair really stood out with my pail features. I sighed. A lot of me has changed since it happened I thought.
It's been two months since my father had died. I was devastated at the sudden loss of my father who had been more than just a father to me. He was also one of my only friends. Scared that I wouldn't be able to fend for myself, one of my fathers close friend, Antoinette Giry took me in. She had always acted like a mother to me and her daughter Meg was like a sister. Soon after the funeral Antoinette took me to her home in Paris. She kept telling me over and over that my father was in a better place now. What a cliché. What better place is there than to be with me? But unfortunately I had to except the fact that there is no way to bring him back and that hopefully one day I will see him again.
I sighed as I walked over to my dresser to get changed. Once I was finished getting ready I headed downstairs to meet Meg. Knowing that Meg was probably still asleep I headed over to the kitchen. I wasn't surprised to see Antoinette already there reading a book. Antoinette had a strange look to her. Just the way her face was shaped and the pail color of her eyes makes me think that she looks almost like a hawk. And the way she stares at me every time I do something wrong doesn't help. I tilted my head to get a look at the title of the book. It read: Pride and Prejudice. I rolled my eyes. Who's mother doesn't have that book? I thought to myself.
I shaked my head as I headed to the cupboard to get some breakfast. I looked over my options and decided to have some Special K. Once I grabbed a bowl and poured the milk I took my seat at the table and began to eat.
"Good morning Christine." Antoinette said to me as I sat down.
"Good morning." I said back.
"Meg just woke up. If I had to guess she will take about five minutes to be fully prepared to leave." She said.
"Alright." I said back happily as I started to eat. When I was finished breakfast I put my bowl in the sink and decided to go and get Meg. But as soon as I walked out of the room Meg jumps out of no where screaming
"Today's the first day of school!" I jumped two inches off the ground.
"Geez meg, pipe down!" I said angrily.
"Oh, sorry." She apologized,
"It's ok." I said back.
"So are you ready to go?" Meg asked.
"Sure. Let me just go and get my bag" I said. Then without another word I ran to go and retrieve my bag.
Once Meg and I said our final goodbye to Madame Giry we headed out the front door and down the street. What I liked so much about where Meg lived is that she lived in a quiet, almost secluded area. Everyone there was nice. And all of the nature around made it even better.
"So Meg, Where is the school?" I asked.
"It's not that far. It only takes five minutes to walk there." She said as she began to skip down the road. I had to run to catch up to her. Five minutes! But that's so far? I guess that's parcially my fault for taking the bus every day at my old school I thought.
As we walked down the street I could start to see a big white building coming into view. As we neared it I could see groups of students gathered in sepret groups around it. I read the sign on top of the building and it read: The Garnier school of Music.
Why am I going to a music school? I thought.
"Welcome to the Garnier school of music!" Meg said pointing to the building.
"Why are we going to a music school Meg" I asked.
"Don't worry. It's the same as any other school; it just specializes in music. There is still normal subjects here like math and science, but the school teaches you more of music like singing. Besides with your singing voice you will do fine. Plus there are a lot of hot guys here." Meg said with a giggle. Suddenly the bell began to ring and everyone headed to ward the building. I took one last glance at the school before heading for the entrance. Here I go!
