Funny how she really thought she could survive without Thomas in this place...this strange place in this city.
Salty liquid slowly poured down her eyes as she quickly wiped them. Jane would never let anybody see her weak side, not after that happened.
She took a deep breath as she proceeded towards the beautiful young woman who she assumed was the receptionist in front of her. She didn't look like someone who was older than her.
As the girl looked at her, visible disgust showed in her eyes as she muttered sarcastically to herself—
''Yay, another weirdo, '' as she rolled her eyes.
'' You must be Jane Hemsworth! '' The girl said as she showed forced excitement by displaying her perfectly white teeth.
'' Yes, '' Said Jane with a blank expression apparent on her face.
'' Give me a minute, '' The girl said as she began to check out some files.
Jane used that opportunity to scrutinize the area. If there was one thing she'd learnt over the course of her miserable life, it was that one should observe more than they listen because...
She observed the girl in front of her from her auburn hair down to her perfectly shaped model-like body, she was without a doubt someone Jane had seen before.
The girl brought out a file as she quickly scanned through it.
'' Something's not right, ''She muttered under her breath.
'' What? '' Jane asked despite knowing what the case might have been.
'' Oh you heard that? '' The girl said like it was a question.
'' I think there's a mistake in your file, it says you're fifteen? '' The girl said as if it was a question again.
'' I'm fifteen, '' Jane replied, showing no sign of confusion.
Visible confusion became apparent on the girl's face, how could Jane be fifteen?
Impossible .
'' Excuse me, '' She said as she dialed a number on the telephone there.
'' Hello. Its Veronica. Yes. There's a problem. Yes, it concerns Jane Hemsworth, the new student. I think there's a mistake somewhere. Alright. Bye, '' She hung up.
I thought the school had a strict age policy.
U.D.E.Q had a straight age policy, everyone entering the school must be 18 or be turning eighteen around four months from resumption but there was a fifteen year old girl in the school. Why was it so? Why was she....special?
