"Well that was a big help" I mumble to myself as i shiver in the early autumn breeze. I stuff my timetable back into my pocket and walk through the gates. If I don't do something soon i will freeze to death. I look around for anything familiar but only find a big mass of people walking to one big blue building. I decide to follow them, hopefully finding Bella or if I have to Amy and ask them what to do. I reach the Blue building, it is two stories high with big colored windows running from the ground to the roof, it has 2 double doors for the students to walk through with what looks like a kitchen to the right when you first walk in. The further I walk into the building the warmer it gets. The foyer was carpeted but the main room has wooden floor boards. I look up and see balconies surrounding the lining of the roof and a big dome that sits on top of them. There are green padded chairs arranged in rows that all point to a huge stage with red velvet curtains. "It's beautiful" I whisper as i look around for Bella.

I eventually find an empty seat toward the back of the hall, i sit down and stuff my bag under my it.

"Hey, i'm guessing your new here". I spin around and find a guy dressed in black jeans with a blue top and a shoulder bag hanging from his shoulder.

"Yeah" I say trying not to blush. The mystery guy swishes his brown hair which complements his green eyes. "I arrived yesterday, I'm Alenna".

"Cool, I'm jack" he says reaching out his hand so I can shake it. "Can I sit next to you?"

"Sure" I say gesturing to the chair beside me. Jack opens his mouth again about to speak, when a microphone squeaks and Mr.C's voice is heard throughout the hall. All students that were standing have now found a seat and are sitting silently as if they were listening to the queen of the world. I sneak a look at Jack and he to is sitting, hands in lap staring at the stage with a blank expression. This is weird.

At the end of the assembly everything goes back to normal. I turn to Jack

"what just happened?" I ask confused

"What do you mean?" Jack replies picking up his bag.

"It was like you were just mesmerized by Mr.C's speaking"

"Oh, you mean that" He chuckles "Well, first of all, no-one calls our principal Mr.C, he is dreaming of playing baseball and wants to make a good name for himself, we just call him Principal Chase".

"Ok, well what about the assembly?"
"well, this year started off with trouble, No-one would listen, no-one turned up to assemblies and some people even used them to pull pranks on those who came, so Principal Chase made assembly compulsory and if we didn't start behaving he would take marks off our final music reports".

"That's slack"

"Yeah, i know, well at least he isn't making after school meeting compulsory, anyway, do you need someone to show you around?"

"Yeah,that would be great". Jack grabs my hand and leads me outside. When we exit the hall, he pulls me around the corner to the back of the hall. I squeeze through the gap between the building and the 5 metre high fence that lines the school perimeter. Jack tightens his grip on my hand and push through 2 metre high weeds. I get scratched and pinched, my shirt gets caught in part of the fence and almost rips. We keep running as fast as we can in the weeds for 2 minutes when Jack finally slows down, i didn't realize how tight his grip was until he loosened it. I try to wriggle my wrist free but his grip just tightens. We keep walking slowly through the weeds, that have seemed to thickened. "What is this?" i ask out of breath. Jack doesn't answer.

"Look" I say "I need to get to......

"Shhhhhhhh" he says cutting me off. I now become scared, where is he taking me? His grip on me is now so tight my hand is going red. We suddenly stop and Jack drops to the ground pulling me with him.

"Look" he whispers pointing. I look hard past the thick dead yellow weeds

"What" i whisper, but then i see it. Millions of butterflies. The butterflies are all sitting on top of the weeds, swaying slowly in the breeze.

"Wow" I breathe. I keep staring, amazed at how many there are. All these beautiful colours come together as if a big blanket were laying over the top of the weeds. I close my eyes and open them again just to make sure that this is real. When i open my eyes i see Jack staring back at me. I then remember how i got here. I stare back for a moment then i slap him.

"Why did you scare me like that?" I ask stepping back. I watch as Jack clutches him face in pain.

"Why would you take me here when we have just met?" I stare at Jack who is still clutching his face. I look down ashamed and astonished at what I had just done, it is then i see that my wrists are bleeding slightly. Flashback: White ceiling, white halls, ladies dressed in blue with a red crosses, Pain, blood, alarms, knives, fire, blood... blood... blood.

"Hey, HEY!!". I open my eyes to Jack shaking me. "You ok?" I look around blinking. The butterflies are all gone and there is a red hand mark on his face. I try to sit up.

"I'm sorry" I whisper

"No, no, no, don't apologize, i shouldn't have brought you here if i knew it would freak you out so much". We both look at the ground.

"What happens now?" i ask still whispering. "Oh my gosh, what about school" i say a little louder. I try to stand but fall straight back down.

"Don't try standing" Jack says lightly touching my arm and flashing a concerned look my way.

"Don't worry about school right now, i will take care of it". I suddenly feel dizzy again and lie down again.
