"Who are you?"
Maya was tired. She was more than tired, she was exhausted. That morning, she would have to take the bus, then the subway, then the bus again, if the plans would go according to her plans. But, even with all her effort, she failed to get inside the Academy's gates in time.
"I am a new student here, my name is Maya Summers."
The guard at the entrance looked at her with narrowed eyes. "Are you joking with me? The school year had already started, and no students can come inside at this time of the year."
"I am not joking, look here, sir," she gave the guard a notice. It was a letter from the Academy's Principal. "I was invited by the Principal. The date is also written inside."
The guard read it with a cautious and a bit of skeptic eye. The way the girl was dressed was not in any way the same as those glamorous and arrogant brats that attended the prestigious Academy of Curian City.
