A new beginning (open)

[Brandon Diggorced]

Brandon sighed, wiping his sweaty palms on his jeans. After a brief vacation from school due to psychiatric reasons, he was ready to go back into the swing of things. He took his first step into Knockwood, and BOOM!

The door closed in his face.

Brandon sighed, resting his head in his right hand. He was trying to make a new start, but things were already screwed up. He glanced through the first-floor windows to see if anyone was there, but everyone seemed to be in class.

Defeated, Brandon sat against the wall. How could things get so wrong so quickly?

[Madeline Koraskaya]

Madeline had just arrived back to Knockwood , a place she so considered as her second home. It was months since she was gone and for some reason she still felt the same warmth as she had before she had left to begin with. All thoughts came back to her even the bad. It was time for a fresh start of course and who knew maybe things were bound to turn out alright. Hands sliding against the wooden railing she ventured herself up the grand staircase. It had been so long since she had enterned the school and the familiar smell of blossoms still illuminated the air.

Walking , nearly skipping she saw a faint shadow in the distance. "Thats odd?" , she said to herself as she made her way up the steps. In a way she wanted it to be someone she knew just so they could catch up on old times and of course maybe even hang out later. Walking slowly , she stood now only about a foot away from the boy. The look on his face was far from pleasent and she had a feeling something had obviously happened. "Er , is something the matter." , she asked.
