RIN POV
~~~~
"Rin?! HEY RIN!! where are you?? HELP!! RIN? PLEASE!!"
It felt like my soul had left my body as I searched tirelessly for the voice that was echoing in my brain. Whoever it was was grasping on the last thread of hope and the only person who could help them was me. I don't know what to do...
I twist and turn through vines and leaves and try to follow the voice.
"Rin! HELP ME!"
Damn. What am I gonna do? I can't see anything, it's too dark.
I look up at the moon above me and glance at the reflection of the light that shines on the leaves surrounding me.
I'm helpless.
~~~~~
BEEP BEEP BEEP*
I feel my body come back to me slowly as the blasting of my alarm clock wakes me up. I open my eyes to face my wall and slowly turn over to shut it off. I don't wanna move though. It's so cold here. Even though I'm laying in my warm blankets, I can feel the crisp air on my face and covered shoulders that warns me of the humid atmosphere. I reluctantly reach out and smack my white alarm clock.
Shoot. Did I press "snooze" or "off"? Guess I'll find out in 5 minutes.
I feel my cat rustle underneath the covers by my feet and I pull back the dark blanket to reveal the face of my sleeping cat. Her eyes open slowly and she yawns while curling back up under the shadowed covers.
I've got almost 2 hours before I need to start getting ready. I was hoping it would be enough time to finish unpacking too. The boxes around my room had only been there for 2 days but they were begging to be opened. I glanced at the box labeled "School Stuff" and tried to hold back my longing face. Not much I can do about it now. I'm here to start a new life.
My cat jumped down and I took that as my cue to get out of bed as well. My Aunt is probably up too. I bet she's just as anxious as I am for today.

"Hey hun! Good morning! Should I start breakfast?" It always surprises me how chipper she is, even this early in the morning.
"I'm not very hungry just yet, thank you though." I replied with less enthusiasm then she had given to me.
"Alright well I've got cereal in the top cupboard if you get hungry before you head to school. You're up pretty early but I bet you're a little nervous to start at the new school"
How does she read my mind like that?
"I have work in about 30 minutes. I'm on the opening shift this month so I might be gone before you wake up most of the time." She's still smiling as if her favorite thing is talking to me. I guess she has to be pretty happy for her job. She used to work the front desk at the local hospital. Now she's a nurse there and she is pretty much the favorite around town. I would say she's the human definition of a smiley face.
"Alright thanks Meg. I really appreciate you letting me stay here." I feel a little guilty about intruding on her home but she's reminded me countless times that it's her pleasure to have some company.
"Oh please Rin, you know I love the company" (witchhh) "and besides.."
she looks me deep in the eyes.
"I really think it will be good to put everything behind you."
Geez Megan. You really are pretty blunt. I shake away the anxiety in my gut as I remember the past and try to look forward to the hopefully bright future.
"Welp! Okay hun. Lemme make something to eat and then I'm off!... do you hear that?" I hear a faint beeping coming from upstairs and sulk my head down in frustration. I glance at the time on the microwave. Yep. 5:35 am.
"It's my stupid alarm."
"Oh okie! Well you better go shut it off before it wakes up the neighbors." She giggles at her own remark as I head back upstairs to my barren room.
I turn off the alarm once again and be sure I pressed "off". I turn to my doorway once again and peek my head around to the stairs where the kitchen connects.
"Hey Meg? Do you know where we put my mirror?" I see her heart shaped head pop around and she points to the other end of the hallway.
"Yeah it's in the extra bedroom next to the closet!" She smiles at me and bites into her toast. She disappears and I hear her keys and jacket as I slink through the hallway into the extra bedroom.
"Alright Girly! I'm off to work! Have a superb day at school and text me if you need anything!"
"Bye Meg. I will!" I watch as she leaves and I return to the entrance of the extra bedroom.
It's kinda creepy in here.. The door is more square then rectangle and the entire room is made of wood. It's got a slanted ceiling and a big closet with no door. The closet looks like a scene out of a horror movie, dark and dusty.
I get the odd feeling there's someone behind me. I stand still, facing the closet and try to use my instinct to feel if anyone is behind me. My paranoia is taking control as I fight the urge to turn around. Finally I give in and turn my whole body sharply. I see nothing and no one. Only the window, untouched and empty as I was before.
Welp. Time to get ready for school I guess. I carry the full length mirror into my new room and rest it near the door against the wall. My body is reflected into it and I take a moment to appreciate myself.
I have long blonde hair that rests on my lower back. It's not pin straight but I straighten it pretty often, due to the overwhelming popularity of straight hair. My hair is naturally pretty curly, speaking of which I should start straightening it soon if I wanna have it for my first day. I opt for putting it in a bun at the top of my head for a more laid back and messy look.
I usually would want to say that I'm ugly, but as I've matured it's easier for me to say that I'm not too bad looking. I've got a pretty symmetrical face and some soft pale skin. My cheeks have a rosy blush that I cover with concealer on a daily basis. And my eyes are a grey blue with dark eyelashes. Pretty stereotypical of a straight white girl. Straight? Maybe? I don't know.
My body is fairly average as well. I'm an average height, average size, average weight. I didn't used to be this way. I was on the chubby side when I grew up but middle school pushed me through a string of eating disorders. Now, I am an average hourglass, not a model or anything but it's good enough for me. That's not important though, I need to find what I want to wear.
I rummage through 3 boxes to pull out a white t shirt, flannel and some ripped jeans. This should be a pretty average outfit. I'm not super sure what to wear since there's no uniform.
British wear shouldn't be too different from American right?

I end up searching the path to school on google maps. I don't know what Aunt Megan expected me to do but I can't drive the car yet since I haven't gotten used to driving on the right side of the road.
It's not too far thank goodness, probably only a mile tops. I start my journey keeping my phone open for directions as I walk.
As I'm walking, I take moments occasionally to notice the neighborhoods around me. The houses are pretty standard for a regular American suburb. I see the rare coffee shops and elementary schools as I walk and I'm not disappointed. It seems like a really great area.
Before I know it, I've made it to my new school.
