Holly sat on the leather seat of her limo in silence. "Holly. You look sad." Her mother and her father sat opposite of her. She looked at them, pushing away her tears. "Oh mom. It's Christmas soon! Why do I have to go away? Can't I wait until after Christmas to come here?" Holly knew she would get an answer she didn't want, so she looked back out the window. She muttered under her breath,"I'm even the first one there, so I'll be the only kid there to celebrate Christmas." The limo pulled up to a big, white building that looked like an overgrown house. She heard her father whisper something softly to her mother, and she nodded slightly. Holly's personal butler came over to her side of the car and opened the door. Holly got out and looked at the sky that was turning gray, just like her mood. She sniffed and looked over to her mom and dad. She felt like running over and hugging them, but she was mad at them for leaving her here so close to Christmas. "Miss Holly? I'm sorry, but this is where I leave you." Holly's butler's name was Timothy, but Holly called him Tim. She looked at him, smiled half heartly, and said,"Good bye." Holly climbed the steps with effort until she found herself inside the building and walking down a hall. Her father caught up with her and said, "It's the first one on the right." Holly grasped the door handle for a moment, and then turned it. The walls were a gray, the rectangular table and the chairs were black, and the carpet was white. What an odd color scheme, Holly thought. A woman sat at the chair across from them. She had some sharp looking reading glasses on and she was reading a small stack of papers, but when she saw them walk in she looked up. She smiled and said,"Welcome! You are going to be Rose Academy's first student! I'm Ms. Newman, your new principal."
