Sorry for the confusion to everyone that has read and reviewed. I just had a few typos and had Harry Potter on the brain while I wrote the last chapter. So, that might explain a few things. I have gone back and edited the names for you. So I send my deepest aplogies. Forgive? ^_^

Chapter Seven: Settling In

"Very well then, now coming back to the present," said Barnum

Jaclyn nodded.

"Which year were you in, Miss Bishop?"

"I was in my junior year. My Christmas vacation had just got over," said Jaclyn.

"Then you will be a transferred student starting the junior year. The term has just begun, so there should be no problem", said Barnum but seeing the worried expression on her face, he asked, "Is there any problem, Miss Bishop?"

"I don't know Professor…This all seems to be so scary. Can I be in the same year as my parents please?," asked Jaclyn

"I don't think that's a very good idea, Miss Bishop," replied Barnum.

"Please Professor, I just don't know what to do… I am scared … I don't know anyone from the junior class. At least if I'll be among people I know, I will feel safe and comfortable. There'll be Dad, and mom. So many of them Mr. Barnum. Please, I will stay away from my mom and I will not tell anyone anything," Jaclyn begged.

"But will you be able to cope up with the seniors. It's pretty tough," said Barnum.

"Yes, absolutely I'll try my best …And also, I'll be here only for a while…only for a while right?" asked Jackie.

"Of course Miss Bishop, I'll be doing my best to send you back home" .

"So can I be in senior year then?" Jaclyn asked hesitatingly.

Barnum thought for a while and gave in to her wishes and said, "Ok Miss Bishop, you can start your senior year then. I'll tell all the professors to go easy on you".

Hearing this Jaclyn heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Barnum.

After a while when Olivia came to guide her, Jaclyn left with her The whole way back , Jaclyn did not look at Olivia even once and just kept staring down .

Olivia surprised , asked " So what's your name?"

"Jaclyn…Bi…B…Benson Jaclyn Benson," Jaclyn replied.

"You look kind of familiar," said Olivia looking at Jaclyn.

"Oh really? But I don't think we have met," said Jaclyn truthfully "Anyways I am not from here."

"Ok , never mind then…" Olivia said doubtfully looking at Jaclyn's bag.

She replayed the whole day in her mind. Her sitting by the lake waiting for Carols, and playing with the chain…her lying on the ground and finding her mom, Olivia in front of her…her meeting Barnum…Barnum explaining everything to her.

She still could not believe what was happening with her .When Peter and Olivia had told her all the time turner stories, she had found them to be very exciting, but now that she had actually turned back in to time, she didn't really like the whole idea and wished she could go back to her own time!

She looked at the photograph and saw her dad. She wished he could be there with her to comfort her and be with her to tell her that everything will be alright. It still felt like a dream to her .

Hoping to wake up and realizing it was just a dream , she went to sleep.
