"It is so gorgeous!"

I was nearly overwhelmed by the beauty and the pride of the tall building. It looked like it had already been here for ages although I knew that it was built only some years ago.

'Hope's Peak Academy' was the name of the school, apparently it was based on the model of a famous Japanese school, not that I knew so much about Japanese schools.

It was said that everyone on Hope's Peak Academy had the guarantee of a successful life since only the best students of the world got a place there. I still couldn't believe that I got accepted, of course I always had good marks in school but there had been better students than me. In fact it looked that I only got here because I liked to learn about people.

Yes, not only the best students came here but those who had a special talent, something in which they were ultimately the best. From all over the world students in their final years were picked and they all would come here to England. I was proud of my homeland for that and more than curious to get to know all the others.

"I even have goosebumps!" I took out my little note pad and wrote that down. When I was alone I usually talked to myself and I always wrote down my reactions to new situations.

While I was writing I noticed something – there were no other students here yet. I had expected them all to be standing in front of the building and looking at it in awe. Maybe I had come too late?

I checked my watch but it really was 8.58. a.m. and the letter had said I should be there at nine o'clock. Like always I was in time. But maybe the others had already all gone inside? There was no reason to wait any longer!

I adjusted my tie and checked if my sticker was still where it should be. The letter had also said I should wear this sticker with the words 'Lewis Breen – Ultimate Psychologist' but I hoped that I could get rid of it once school began.

And so I opened the door and stepped into the building.

It had been warm outside but as soon as I entered I shivered. Someone was watching me, I could feel it. I could feel the presence of something evil here.

And then suddenly all my lights went out...
