When I woke up, the train had stopped. People were getting off.

"Wha..? Dracodadmom???? Wherezamiwha…??" I mumbled.

Then I remembered the events of last night.

I bolted up and rushed off the train.

I ran out of the train station, and into the city the train had stopped in.

I walked through the city, dragging my suitcase behind me.

I hopped on a bus, and when it stopped, I remembered I should probably go to a school.

Any school.

Eventually, I found one.

The sign in front of it read "McKinley Middle School"

There was a larger building next to it, labeled "McKinley High".

I entered the middle school.

I walked up to a girl who was about my age and said "Hi, I'm Natasha Malfoy. Could you take me to the principal's office? I don't have my school books or schedule yet, and I would like to find a place to stay."

"You don't have a house?" queried the girl, who looked shocked.

"Not exactly. I ran away from home, because, well, it's complicated. I'm not running away forever, just temporarily."

"I'm Rachel Berry. I have lots of room at my house, and you're welcome to stay there for now!" she said.

And the rest is history.

Rachel and I were inseparable.

I stayed with her, and found out that I had a talent for singing. Rachel did too.

I also befriended a girl named Mercedes, and a boy named Kurt.

We soon graduated from middle school, and moved on up to high school together.

And that's where my story really got interesting…
