A small silhouette walked between the waves of students flowing down the hall. She had bright red hair and her name was Willow. But not the one from Sunnydale. Dark makeup and dark clothes made her skin appeared even more whiter. She wore black combat boots and a pair of rollerblades hung from her shoulder.
Willow looked around her, trying to found something to indicate wich way to go to the principal's office. She spotted some weird guy wearing a... leopard shirt?...standing next to the public phones. "Excuse me, wich way is the principal's office?" she asked, trying to speak loud enough for him to hear her over the noise.
Freak looked at her from head to toes. "Sure. Go that way and turn right. It should be the first door on your left."
"Thanks." She gave him a smile and walked where he had told her. [Well, he did gave me the right indications.] She sat down on a chair and waited for someone to pick her up. The secretary had told her it was usually an other student who gave the new students the tour of the school.
Hald an hour later, someone picked her up. She watched closely the girl : short hair, flashing makeup, extravagant clothes. "Bathroom is there, cafeteria is over there." She gave her her transfer forms and pointed to a teacher. "That's Mr. Branch. You give him the forms. I'm in this class too so if you need informations, just ask. My name's Kate."
"Willow," the redhead replied, smiling. [It's not too bad for the first day.]
Some guy passed next to her and then stopped. "You're new?" When she nodded, he added, "What about the pool Kate?"
Willow looked at Kate for informations. The girl pointed to a pair of doors hiding stairs behind them. "There's an olympic size swimming pool on the roof. Take the stairs over there." She moved pass her and entered the class.
[Well, I could always have a look before going to class.] She put her transfer forms in her bag and moved to the stairs. When she opened the door, the wind cooled her. She let go of the door and it closed behind her. She looked around and found no trace of the pool. She tried the handle, but the door was locked. "Great! Just great!"
She looked around her for a way out and when she find none, she turned back toward the only door giving access to the roof. "Ok, Willow, let's open that door," she told herself, using the word 'open' lightly. She concentrated on the elements around her. She gathered the energy between her two joined hands.
Kate lifted up her head quickly as she heard an explosion coming from the roof. She ran to the hall just in time to see Willow walking down the stairs. The redhead threw her a look. Her eyes widened. "What did you do?"
Willow grinned wickedly. "I made sure the 'pool trick' wouldn't work anymore. It's kind of difficult to lock someone outside when there's just a big hole in the wall instead of a steel door." She entered the classroom and gave Mr. Branch her transfer forms. She sat down in the back of the room and listened as the teacher continued his class.

She took a seat in her computer class. She just had the fealing the class would be quite boring. [I'm a hacker for God's sake, not a debutant!] She sat down next to a good looking boy. He looked at her and she smiled at him. "Hi, I'm Willow."
He shook her hand. "I'm Dade. This is Freak."
Next to Dade was the guy with the weird leopard shirt, the one that had given her the directions to the principal's office. She looked at him. "Freak?"
Freak glared at Dade then turned toward her and gave her a smile. "Hum... it's a nickname." And there was the awkward silence, neither one of them knew what to say. "So, Willow, know anything about computer?" Freak asked.
The redhead tried her best to not look nervous. "Hum, yeah. I mean, I know the minimum requiered," she told him. You just didn't tell anyone you are a hacker.
The class finally started and she did her best to listened to the teacher, but was failing miserably. She turned in her seat and streched. She froze in place at what she saw on Dade and Freak's computer. It was a schema of the school. [Good God! They hacked the school system! They're hackers!] She gave them a weird look and tried to work on something else. It wasn't working. She was troubled a bit by what she had saw.
Then she remembered the guy's nickname. [Of course! The phantom freak!] She looked at the small guy with new respect.
[My day is getting weirder and weirder.]
