New Girl

Cecile Hill stepped out of the taxi cab and looked at the huge red brick building that was to be her new school. The massive one floor school was beautiful and looked like an elegant castle. Cecile could definitely get used to this. She turned back to the cabbie and asked him,

"You have the address for where to take the luggage?" She asked, her hand in her backpack, ready to pull out an extra copy of the information.

"No I got it." The cabbie said, laughing. "And don't worry, I don't get paid until I drop your stuff off so I won't be taking off with it, okay darling." Cecile laughed with him. He had obviously been a cab driver for a while. Shutting the cab door, Cecile turned and marched up towards her new school and her future.

The inner office was nice and cozy and decorated with the finest furnishings. One could tell from the first glance that this was a first class school. As she sat on the bench outside the office waiting for her meeting, she casually twirled a strand of her hair around her finger. She always hated waiting. Finally an office door opened.

"Pamela!" The woman snapped, causing the receptionist, obviously Pamela to jump. "Is this Miss Hill?" Pamela took off her red reading glasses and stuttered a yes.

"Then why was she not sent in immediately?" She practically spat. Pamela cowered behind her computer mumbling a soft sorry. To Cecile, she said, "I am so sorry for your wait my dear. Come right in to my office." Cecile got up and breezed past the receptionist and entered the office, oblivious to the envious looks of the receptionist and the principal were giving her graceful walk. Once in the office, the principal closed the door to give them some privacy. When she saw Cecile was standing, she gestured for her to sit then took a seat of her own.

"Miss Hill, it is wonderful to have you here at our academy. I really hope you will enjoy it here."

"I'm sure I will Mrs. Deats." Cecile replied, seeing the principal's name on her brass plate. Principal Deats pulled out a bunch of forms from a folder on her desk and placed a schedule on top. She held the package out for Cecile to take.

"These forms are for your guardian, while you are here, to sign and the schedule is your classes. It is the same everyday so you do not have to worry about mixing up days or anything silly like that." Cecile nodded, took the package and put all of it but the schedule in her bag and let her continue. "Our school prides itself on producing wonderfully brilliant young ladies and helping them step out into the world. I am confident, especially when we look at your family, that you will do Belta proud." She smiled at Cecile but Cecile felt the silent threat of do-not-step-out-of-line-or-else beneath her words.

"I will do my best to make you proud." Cecile said, turning on the charm just a bit. On the inside she was slightly offended. What makes her think I'm going to be a delinquent? Principal Deats nodded, satisfied before pressing a button on her phone. There was a beep and then a rough man's voice answered,

"Yes?"

"Hello Mr. Brawn. I have a new student for you this morning. Could you possibly send someone up to get her?"

"Missy will be right there." With that the intercom was shut off and Principal Deats stood, leading Cecile back out into the waiting area.

Within minutes there was a short girl with glasses opening the office doors. She ran right up to Pamela and asked for the new girl. Pamela nodded at Cecile, never taking her eyes off her typing. The girl, Missy, scurried over to Cecile.

"So you're the new girl huh?" She said with her hands on her hips. "I'm Missy Trebons." She held out her hand. Cecile stood and shook it. Cecile noticed she was quite a few inches taller than Missy. She had short dark black hair, which was obviously dyed for her roots were growing out of the colour and dull brown eyes that were hidden behind thick brown glasses and very bushy eyebrows. Missy gave Cecile a very obvious once over and sniffed before saying,

"Let's get back to class."

The walk to their classroom was an awkward one, with Missy all but sprinting back to class and Cecile rushing to keep up. As she trailed Missy, she silently cursed herself for following her mother's advice and wearing designer clothing the first day at school. Missy's clothes were obviously second hand and the more Cecile looked at them the more self-concious she got about her Alice + Olivia emerald green long-sleeved t-shirt dress, black leggings and brown suede ankle boots. By the time they got to their class, Cecile was ready to run all the way to the nearest mall, break out her Visa and buy the nearest bargain item she could find.

Missy opened the door to the class and Cecile followed her in, cringing in anticipation to all the stares she was about to attract.
