The assembly was held in an auditorium inside the school and I estimated that there were about eight hundred to a thousand students here.
It looked like the auditorium itself was separated into six columns arranged in a semicircle spreading out from the stage and I quickly learned that each column represented a batch of students. Since we were the first years, we occupied the column on the rightmost section of the auditorium.
The seven of us were brought to the seats at the very front nearest to the stage which allowed everyone else to stare at the back of our heads.
The other students who were seated at the front of the other columns must also be the special students of their respective years.
On the stage was principal Dawn who was, as expected, delivering a welcome speech to all the students which I believe all schools have.
And as expected, I could see that most of the students aren't listening either.
