7. Strange Land

Lillian's POV

I was awakened by the voice of the pilot, who was informing us that we had began descent at the Newcastle International Airport, London.

''Welcome to Durham , London where the weather is pretty much cold and the temperature is always 7degrees Celsius . From the London based crew , thank you for flying with us and we hope you enjoy your stay.

I pulled my two luggage's and my carry- on bag from the overhead compartment and descended from the plane. The Newcastle Airport was really huge and moreover it was very modern.

I could see about three different buildings from where I was standing , I think where the plane had landed and the building we headed into was mainly for departure and take off . I was directed along with the other passengers to another building which was the waiting area and security checkpoint, and if I must it was beautiful very spacious with a lot of chairs and benches.

After being cleared for security I , headed to the waiting area to wait for the woman whom I met earlier on . But before I could sit down I saw my name on a sign board which was held by a man. He looked to be in his middle ages and was very tall, should be about 170 to 180 cm tall.

I walked towards him and introduced my self , then was immediately led away to the parking lot. We came to a stop in front of a very sleek and plush car, my oh my it was beautiful. It was a Blue Chevrolet Equinox 2011. I halted instantly , realizing that I didn’t know this man.

As I was about to shout , the back door of the car opened and out stepped , Mrs. Renee

'' hello, Miss Anderson , welcome to London . Now if you will please enter the car and lets be on our way, we are quite behind time dearie.'' she said , with such a heavy accent.

I nodded at her and began dragging my suitcases towards the other side of the car , too dumbfounded to speak but before I could reach the door , the man whom I later came to know as Charles and also find out is the Chauffeur, reached for it,

'' Let me take that miss, '' he said . And within minutes we had taken off from the airport

Xavier's POV.

I arrived at the school at about 5pm , and the front of the school was very busy with a lot of students ,and to say I was surprised was an understatement. As the car rolled into the school parking lot , everyone turned to stare and even though I hadn't yet stepped out I was really nervous. The one thing I was happy about was that no student knew who I was only the principal and even she was obligated by my parents and the crown to keep mute about it. I knew people would speculate about me and wonder who I was and I wasn't bothered as long as they didn't know the truth.

My Chauffeur parked the car and a minute later I stepped out . All eyes immediately turned in my direction . Scrutinizing me, trying to find out who I was but I payed them no mind and walked on . Eventually they stopped staring and went back to chatting with their other peers and parents and getting settled in the various dormitories.

I realized almost all the students there had come with either one parent or both and I felt a little sad because I knew I would never have that and I accepted it as such. Not long after another car pulled into the school , it was a blue Chevrolet and very nice to. The car parked at the other side of the parking lot , really far from me so I couldn’t make out who they were but I only managed to see an older woman stepping out before I turned and made my way to where the others were assembled.

The School had three buildings , one at the far end was meant for class sessions and lessons and the other two which we were all currently standing in the middle of and being sorted into houses and dormitories. After about two hours we were all finally settled down in our houses in rooms and I ended up in house Airlie, of which our color was brown.

Every dormitory , well as far as the boys had six beds in each which were up and down meaning twelve people in a dormitory and I was really uncomfortable but I knew that was the point of coming here, to see new things. The chauffeur helped me carry my stuff upstairs , I was on the second floor before he left and I was officially alone.

Since we had just reported we were not fed and moreover it was quite late so we were asked to sleep and begin orientation the next day . I climbed to the top bunker , since I was a year 10 . Not long after I drifted off to sleep , thereby beginning my life In high school.
