Chapter Three :: New Start
*-*-*
All of the kids from the bus piled off and past Dawn, ignoring her and leaving her to stand there like she didn't exist, even James, he was long gone. By the time all of them had disapeared through a door Dawn was left standing there, wondering where to go. She was completly lost . . .
"Excuse me?" Came a young women's voice from behind Dawn, she turned round, her long hair turning with her and Dawn looked at the speaker. She was tall and had short light brown curly hair, she was holding a pair of small- framed glasses and looking down on Dawn with her beedy black eyes. "Shouldn't you be with the others?"
Dawn looked back at the last of the kids going through the door and then back at the women, "Sorry," she managed to mumble, "I'm new, i didn't know."
Suddenly the women's expression changed, "Oh, you're new?" She asked, a faint smile now covering her face, "I'm sorry, you must be Dawn Summers, right?" Dawn nodded, not wanting to talk to anyone and eager to get to a phone, "I'm Miss Leighton, the vice principle, nice to meet you." she then put out her hand for Dawn to shake it but Dawn didn't move.
"Well," The women said again, "We have everything ready for you, a room, your timetable, we even have a folder ready about the school itself, you can read up about it, get yourself more familliar with Southvale." then she took her hand back and began to walk away, "Follow me please," she told Dawn who sighed and did as she was told.
*-*-*
After about five minutes of wondering passages and corridors that looked like something out of a castle in a fairytale book Dawn and Miss Leighton finally reached a door. Dawn looked at it, it was labelled '603'. This was when Miss Leighton turned to Dawn.
"This is your new room," she said simply, "You'll share it with too other girls, do you want me to introduce you?"
'Not really . . .' Dawn thought but she shrugged, she was unusually quiet. Miss Leighton smiled and nodded and slipping her glasses into her blouse pocket she opened the door to the room.
Dawn loooked inside, not wanting to walk in straight away. She took in the lavender walls and the tall white wordrobe in one corner, besides that there was three beds, one under the window and one on either side of the door, each with their own lavender bedsheets and pillows and white bedside tables. Dawn then noticed suitcases and two girls, each sat ont heir beds, now staring at them.
"Goof afternoon girls," Miss Leighton said, her accsent was posher then it had been with Dawn. One girl, who was blonde and pale skinned nodded and looked at Dawn, her light blue eyes shielding any thoughts she had, she was had to read. The other girl didn't take much notice, she was chinise with long black hair and oriental skin. "Dawn, this is Lu Chan and Caroline Jackson, girls, this is Dawn Summers."
Dawn realised this was her cue to enter the room, pushing past Miss Leighton slightly she walked in. One bed, behind the door was free so she put her bags down on it. "Maybe you could explains ome of the rules to her?" Miss Leighton asked, glaring at Caroline and then the door closed and she elft.
Dawn stared at the two girls, now she really doubted the idea.
None of them spoke, so Dawn dechided too neither. She sat down on the bed, this was so new to her, what would she do now? She looked at a file Miss Leighton had colected and handed her on the way, on the front was a picture of the old building Dawn had seen from the bus and in old style writing was written "SouthVale High - Boarding School".
Then Dawn flung it down on the bed and reached into her bag to find her mobile phone, Buffy had given her it for Christmas last year, it was getting old but all she cared about was that she had a phone. Dialing Buffy's number in she put it to her ear and waited. But all it did was ring, and ring, no-one was answering the phone. After a few aimless minutes Dawn turned it off and put it down on the bed. What now?
"You not allowed those," Caroline said, with a posh voice that suggested she was from a wealthy and snobbish family, "But don't worry, I won't tell." and then she smiled, but Dawn didn't smile back.
Yepp, this was definetly gonna' be worse then hell . . .

Andrew heard the phone ringing and was about to go and answer it when the window above him smashed and he rolled out of the way just in time to see glass shattering everywhere. Xander and Willow then ran in, closely followed by Kenedy, Spike, Giles and Anya.
Buffy flew through the window, closely followed by what looked like an uber- vamp, it jumped on top of her and grabbed her, throwing her into the wall. Spike acted on this first, jumping at it and soon they were locked in combat, but Spike was the first to be thrown aside.
However, his plan had worked, Buffy had got up and was ready to attack again, holding her stake up she kicked the vamp back into Spike who grabbed it, it was unable to move and Buffy thrust her stake into it until it was nothing more then dust, which fell over Spike.
"Nice," Faith retorted as she entered the room, follwed by Wood. Buffy looked up at ehr and shrugged, spinning her stake round in one hand and looking down at Spike, who tried to get the dust off himself.
"Thanks Spike," She smiled.
"No problem . . ." He said, getting to his feet. But Buffy's mind had changed to new thoughts, like Dawn she had started to doubt if sending her to a boarding school had been a good idea? Wouldn't she have been safer with her? Any besides, she was missing her . . .
And all the time, the phone rang in the background.
