There was an knock on Blair's door.
"Come in." Blair said as she looked up from her paper work.
Rosey blushed as she walked into the office. "Miss. Warner?"
Blair put down her pen and smiled. "Yes what can I do for you?" She knew that she had an new student; not only because she had never seen Rosey at Eastland before but she reacozied the scared look from all new students.
"My name is Rosey Kenzi O'Donnell and I'm an new student." Rosey said trying hard to look Blair in the face. But her head kept titling forward.
Blair got up and walked over to Rosey and put an friendly hand on Rosey's shoulder. "Hello Rosey; I'm Blair Warner; headmistress and owner of Eastland. Welcome."
"Thank you ma'am." Rosey said.
"Here take an seat and we will get to know each other." Blair walked Rosey over to an set of chairs and watched the girl sink into one. She sat down gracefully and turned her full attention on Rosey. "So tell me an little about yourself."
Rosey looked up at Blair and saw the warm smile on Blair's face. She looked into Blair's eyes and saw the honest curiosity in them. She warmed up to her new "principal" very quickly. "My name is Rosey O'Donell; I'm fourteen and an freshman. I have only been to public school this is my first boarding school ever."
"Why did you decided to attended boarding school?" Blair asked as she saw that Rosey was finished talking.
"I wanted to explore the world. I am from North Dakota and I have never been out of the state. I thought this would be an perfect oppuintly." Rosey said with an smile.
"Won't you miss your parents and family?" Blair asked.
"Yes. But my parents agreed with me that this would be an wonderful experience for me. They heard so much about Eastland and they are very impressed with the school." Rosey said.
Blair smiled softly. "You know this used to be an all girls school."
Rosey nodded.
"But in 1988 when I bought Eastland and I saw that it was about to be closed I convinced the school board to co-ed the school. I have never regretted the decision." Blair leaned forward slightly. "I used to go her myself. " She confided with an smile. "Matter of fact most of my closets friends who attended Eastland are now teaching here."
Rosey smiled. "That is so nice. At Sky River; my old high school none of the teachers have ever attended the school themselves."
"So what are your interests?" Blair asked next.
"Sports, reading, writing. " Rosey said with an smile.
"Well we have many clubs and sports teams here at Eastland. How about after meeting with me you go and check out the bulletin board." Blair said.
Rosey nodded. She listened as Blair told her how to find it.
"Well I'm glad I had this chance to meet with you Rosey." Blair said with an smile and she stood up.
"I'm glad to have meet you also Miss. Warner." Rosey also stood up and she put out her hand for an shake.
Blair took and smiled as she shook hands with her newest student. "Oh by the way make sure to drop by the dining room and meet Mrs. Edna Garret Gaines. She is the school dietician. One of my favorite friends and an second mother."
"Well do." Rosey said.
Blair walked Rosey to the door and opened it and watched Rosey leave.
