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…
