Chapter 2 – Who's Manfred?"Okay, so here is your timetable. You should find your way around pretty easily, but I have told some of the other students to help you if you're lost. I hope you begin to like this fantastic school." Dr. Bloor said enthusiastically as he led me outside. Yeah right. I smiled as convincingly as I could. It was lucky I was a good actress. They put me in the Drama Department because of this. I stood in the middle of the playground, with my schedule stuck under my nose. First we had assembly. Fantastic. The second class I had was English. Oh great, English… I scanned my timetable and studied it carefully, so I wouldn't have to walk around with it stuck under my nose all day. Today was going to be one hell of a boring day. I hated half of the lessons I had. The only thing I looked forward to was my Drama lesson, which thankfully was my first lesson. Something to look forward to then. I loved acting. It was something I was actually really good at.
"Hey..." a soft voice greeted me as I turned around to meet a beautiful blond-haired boy smiling down at me and gazing at me with his mesmerizing pale blue eyes.
"Are you new here? You look a little lost." He continued.
I gawked at his perfect features and blushed.
" Erm… Yeah…" I replied, starstruck. He must've thought I was a total loser and a freak, all of which I tick boxes for. As long as nobody finds out my endowment, I'm safe. I looked up at him again to see him laughing softly to himself.
"I'm Andrew Wilson." he greeted, "and you are…?"
"Summer Anderson, I'm in the Drama Department." I finally managed to find the right words.
"Nice to meet you" he smiled warmly at me. I noticed most of the other students had gone inside. We were one of the only ones left lingering around.
"So you're in the Drama department? So am I!"
"I'm glad I found at least one person in the same department as me!" I added jokingly, with a hint of relief. I was more serious than he thought. Andrew started walking towards the doors leading inside, as I followed him hesitantly.
"Come on, we're gonna be late! Then we're really in trouble. We wouldn't want to run into Manfred" He grasped my hand and gently pulled me inside.
"Who's Manfred?" I asked suspiciously. This Manfred sounded like an important figure that everyone feared.
"You'll see…"
