Eagleton High School. A place of prestige. A school of great learning. A place where geniuses are born.
Or so those were the high hopes set by the founders of this institution.
In reality, Eagleton turned out to be just like any other school with every type of kid you could imagine. There were the A+ students, and the jocks, and the computer geeks, and the drama kids, and the social outcasts... Even skater kids and emo children, who were species thought to die out in the 90's. Test scores were average through the school, and uniforms had been a failed experiment - now you saw every type of fashion from studs and tattoos to uggs and Frappuccinos. But more than anything, the teachers were friendly and the kids were happy. Those who did the work would get the education they needed, and that was all that really mattered, in the end.
In spite of that, the campus had still been built extremely classy - with ballrooms and fancy dining halls that glittered. Marble floors stretched through all of the halls of this campus with over four hundred classrooms for an insane variety of clubs and classes, including the general math, science, history, and English. There were 5 buildings on campus, including dorms for people who wanted to attend the school but lived in a different state (considering the grandeur, its reputation preceded it). These buildings were arranged in a circle, that included:
General Classes (Building A)
Art/Performance Classes (Building B)
Sports (Building C & Miles of Sports Fields)
Building/Cooking Classes (Building D)
Dorms (Building E)
And in the middle of campus, there was a sixth building - the Main Hall, which consisted of several dining halls, lounge areas, and an expansive underground library with nearly a hundred private rooms for studying or working. This whole campus was built by a wealthy benefactor who had high hopes of bringing this busy town to its peak... But alas, the town just could not live up to his standards of raising proper children.
The buildings were not wasted, though. With a population of nearly 20,000 students, a regular high school would have been extremely cramped. So for now, mostly because it is a donated public school that is free to attend, these students all live and study in the high life, coming from every walk of life.
Kimmy was one of those lucky students. While the town itself was small, and the reason her parents had moved there, the school was like an entirely different world. There were thousands of different kids roaming the halls when she arrived on her first day, and to be quite frank she felt very intimidated by it all. Just more kids to make fun of her, right? So much for escaping the bustling city... Even so, she had heard about the underground library, and she was very excited to get lost in it.
For now though, she walked down the stone walkway to the front gate of the school, peering up at the Main Hall in front of her. Because of the size of the school, all students were scheduled at different times for a tour of the school, before the welcome back ceremony began in the huge auditorium attached to Building B. Now was her time. Nervously, she twirled her snow white parasol in her delicate hands, letting the shadows dance on the ground around her. She adjusted the lace of he pretty pale blue dress and shifted her small backpack on her shoulder. Well... This is it... Taking a deep breath, she slowly climbed the steps to the large door in front of her and made her way inside.
... Please don't let me throw up...
