Train>>>>School Entrance>>>>>Sapphire Room>>>>Grand Hall The trip to CTS was long. The train was filled with other freshmen and they were all buzzing around excited to go to their new school. Dante was the exact opposite. All he wanted was 10 minutes of silence, and he spent most of the silence he did get worrying about his family. He went through every worst case scenario he could think of, and he almost sent himself into a series of panic attacks. He was able to calm himself down near the end of the train ride. They reassured him that they would be fine, and they practically push him onto the train.
Dante made a long sigh and looked out the window. He had received a letter from CTS just a few hours before he left. He hasn’t opened it yet, he hadn’t thought it important enough, but he finally figured he should at least skim through the document before the train pulled up to the school. With a quick slide of the finger, the letter seal was broken. Dante read through the letter and reread it to make sure he hadn’t misread any important details. “A ball, aye? I’ve never been to one of those. I wonder what it would be like.” He spoke to himself in silence. All of the other students became oddly quiet as the train made it’s final stretch onto the school path. The train pulled to a stop and Dante watched as everybody silently filed out of the train. Dante was one of the last people to get off. He didn’t like to fight for a place in line, and he knew he was patient enough to let everyone else out first.
Dante hadn’t been excited this whole trip, but that first step onto the forest pathway, leading to the school, was what did it for him. He spent so much time worrying for his family and loved ones that he had forgotten that he was invited to one of the most prestigious and mysterious schools in the world. He looked around the forest with fascination, but decided that he best hurry and go get dressed for the masquerade. He quickly made his way down the path, masterfully sliding in and out between the other students. He reached the school entrance within a matter of minutes. The school itself was beautiful. The size was stunning and the wildlife surrounding it emphasized it’s beauty even more. Dante shook his head and said, “Not cool Dante. Look at the pretty building later. You’re wasting time.” He picked up the pace as he walked through the school.
He quickly found the Male dormitories and made his way up to Sapphire Room. He quickly opened the door and made his way into the room. He threw his bags onto his designated bed and began to quickly get changed. He was able to find the pre-measured
suit and
mask. He had trouble putting on the suit, but eventually was able to get everything on correctly. Once he made sure that he looked decent enough, Dante made his way to the Sapphire room door. It was only then that he realized that another person was in the room. He looked over and saw a well built man staring at him. “Oh…hey...I’m Dante. I don’t want to seem rude, but I really want to get to the masquerade on time. So..yea….it was nice to meet you….Bye!!” He said. He opened the door and left as quickly as he arrived.
He quickly made his way through the school and to the Grand Hall entrance. He slowed his pace and took a breather. He walked through the entrance and saw a sea of masks. The excitement in Dante was overwhelming, and he was grinning ear to ear because of it. He began walking around just watching the people. He thought about going and introducing himself to other people, but he figured it was best to see if anybody would approach him first.
