Welcome to Gaia! ::

Inside her house victoria was finishing her lunch of jam sandwiches and cold milk tea. Swallowing the last bite of her sandwich she stood up and pushed in her chair and clumsily balanced her plate and mug ontop of each other and took them to the sink. Checking the time she calculated that the visitor would be here any second unles she was late. "Mu-umm, The visitor will be here soon!" she called out to her mum who was reading her favorite novel.

"Go wait in the loungeroom, you will see them through the drapes" Her mum called back, busy concentrating on her book.

Rolling her eyes victoria skipped into the loungeroom and looked through the drapes, "He's here!" she cried and ran to the door where she dusted herself off before opening it. The visitor walking up the path looked quite peculiar to her but it didnt really bother her. remembering her manners she shyly curtseyed "Morning Mr Visitor sir."

"Sorry, Mr RA sir." Biting her lip she held up her hand as if to say just one second and she ran back into the house completely forgetting her manners.

Sprinting she ran upto her mum and gave her a big hug "Im Leaving! Bye mum!"

Her mum turned from her book long enough to hug her back and kiss her on the nose "Have fun at school hun." then she turned back to her book.

Ignoring the annoyyance welling up in her she proceeded to race up the stairs into her room, then with a THUDDA-THUDDA-THUDDA she raced down the stairs wheeling a giant suitcase behind her with another giant sports bag over her shoulders. Barely able to move under all the bags she stumbled as fast as she could to the door. "Phew.. Ready!" she beamed a small smile up to the stranger. Then she handed him all the bags because logically he was a guy and therefore he should carry a girls bags.

Confused about the statement about the strangers gender Victoria became confused. She had heard about such people on TV who have had..Operations but she didnt want to think about that. Then seeing her bags dissappear she blinked "Whatchazoo?! Careful!" she yelped grabbing for the air where her bags had once been, her bags were filled with her prized possesions.

Making a silent wish that her things were allright she dusted herself off again not liking to have creased clothes. This stranger was wierd and what?! Molleclar whaa!? she felt her stomach turn about at the sound of it.."Umm..bus." she began to walk away from her house a sad feeling washing over her. It wasnt as if she liked her home but she would miss it and this guy was wierd. But it was a risk she wanted to take for the sake of education!

She walked a little faster trying to keep her distance from the crazy thing. He could read her mind it seemed. Severely creeped out she waited in the busstop for the bus then as it arived she practically ran to the back of the bus her face a mask of 'oh god, oh god' creeped out-ness But hopefully she would calm down soon as she thought the guy would be at the front driving and as far away from her as possible.

And now she would have to spend an HOUR in a closed bus with this guy- err thing. Fumbling in her pockets she pulled out a piece of string and focused on that tangling it into knots to keep her nerves down. "So..Umm..Is the school..Nice?" she stutterred trying to think of something that couldnt possibly provoke a creepy responce as most normal people would have said it was even if it was a lie.

Calming down a little she managed a smile, She liked the idea of a big school with not many people. "What am i going to do untill i have classes..Im..umm..Not good at making..friends." victoria looked down at her shoes, untill now she had been home schooled and didnt have much contact with people.

"Feed number?" She guessed it must be something to do with order in the canteen. She made a note to memorise her student number as usually someone would ask you about it at some point or another.

As she heard the word library her face lit up breaking through her nerves "A big library!!" her heart pounded now she knew she would have a place to go even if she had no friends where she could escape into the world of literature.

"I guess it sounds really nice then, Even if the workers are creepy" she wispered the last part to herself, she had a habit of reassureing herself out loud.. Hoping the thing hadnt heard her she smiled and went back to her string.

"Right." She shudderred at the thought of hanging out with some old person who only believed they were right even if they were wrong, as that was her impression of teachers.

Victoria gave up on her string and pressed her face to one of the bus's windows and gazed out, she had never been this far from home before, it was exciting.

She knew the first thing she was going to do after getting her room set up was to visit this library. Smiling she sat quielty for the rest of the trip.

Victoria stood and took a deep breath, as soon as she stepped of this bus it would be like walking into a new life. She had no idea what was in store for her and frankly she was a little scared. Straightening herself up she walked down to the front of the bus and smiled to the driver "Thank you Sir." and then she hopped off the bus.

The sight that awaited her was not what she had expected, there was the big black gates looming over her, they werent exactly inviting but they gave the place a certain feel. Taking a moment to observe the scenery she then walked nearer to Ra. "Big gates eh?..Heh...heh.."
