I groaned inwardly as i got out of the car. thirty minutes early. Why didn't Aunt Kioshi tell me i could walk? less traffic!

"have a nice day at school!" She bubbled as she walked across the street. I sighed and walked up the steps of the large education building. I tried to pull open the door but it was locked.

ten minutes probably. I sighed and sat down with my head leaning against the door. my grip tightened around my backpack.

Mom would have told me i could walk. A bark loud bark sounded and i jumped up. A completely white dog, no, wolf, was staring at me with blue eyes.

"Elisha!" (ee-LIE-sha (English)) A small voice scolded. I tore my gaze off the wolf to see a tall girl. She was wearing jeans (not skinny jeans), a white blouse, a jean jacket, and pink Nike shoes. Her skin was darkish, and her eyes were green. But the most offsetting feature, was her hair. It was short and bobbed, but it was white. I can tell when hair is dyed and her hair is not dyed.

"I'm sorry if my dog scared you." she apologized and curtsied. I shook my head clear.

"It's all right. Why are you here so early?" i asked, trying to sound polite.

"I wanted a head start on my first day! Right Elisha?" She petted her dog to calm him down and he dropped a backpack i didn't notice he had.

"So what's your name?" she inquired.

"Ai. Ai Chanclor." I answered and sat back down.

"I am Elizabeth Comfry." She introduced herself, "go home." She commanded the dog. He followed instructions just as the janitor came to unlock the doors.
