Episode 1

Introduction:

Winter Knight was a 16 year old girl who lived with her single mother. Her father passed away when she was little. Her mother was a specialized international aid worker for the biggest Humanitarian aid company in the game, Universal Relief Inc., because of that Winter and her mother were forced to move around a lot. Winter had been in four different high schools and she was only a sophomore.

Part 1

Winter sighed as she laid on her bed, staring at her star-sticker covered ceiling. There was a knock at the door. "Come in!" Winter watched as her mother entered the room "Hi, sweetheart. Just wanted to check up on you, see how you were doing. Make sure you're ready for school tomorrow." Winter looked over at her mom, "yes, Mom. I'm ready for school." Her mother smiled. "That's my Winter. Lights out in 10." Winter rested her head back after her mother left the room. Another school huh.. Winter closed her eyes not looking forward to what tomorrow would bring.

Part 2

Winter sat groggily staring in the dark as her alarm went off. "Winter your alarm is going off!! Get ready or you're going to be late for school." Winter sighed, looking over at herself in the mirror as she got out of bed. She pulled on her uniform and went downstairs. Winter noticed her mom staring at her and tilted her head. "Yes mom?" she noticed the tears in her mother's eyes."What's wrong?" Her mother hugged her and said "I'm sorry that we have to keep moving around, my Winter. I made sure to tell my boss that I wanted to stay in the same location until you graduate." Winter hugged her mother back, "It's okay, Mom. Really, I understand." She smiled softly as her mom looked at her, "What a good daughter I was blessed with." Winter walked to the counter to grab a banana for breakfast before walking towards the front door, "I'm off to school Mom." Her mother nodded, "have a good day honey."

Part 3

Winter looked down at her white, green, and blue uniform. She then looked at the giant sign at the front gate that said "Golden Academy High" before walking on campus. Woah, this campus is huge... She ruffled her long, black hair before walking. Well I would expect nothing less from an elite academy, she thought. Winter's crystal blue eyes darted around, attempting to take it all in. She noticed everything; people bickering, friends greeting each other, teachers supervising students. Her mother said she had always been her "little detective." Winter was so absorbed in observing that she didn't notice the boy behind her until he knocked into her. Winter's eyes moved to his red ones. Red eyes? "Ah! I'm sorry," Winter said as she stared at the boy. He did not acknowledge her as he kept walking. Winter watched him and noticed that she wasn't the only one watching him. It seemed to Winter as though everyone's eyes were on him. He was soon surrounded by people. Winter kept walking towards the teacher's office. As she entered, she realized that no one's attention was on her so she walked to the nearest teacher and said, "Hello, excuse me. My name is Winter Knight. I am a new student." The male teacher looked at her, bored before looking at his clipboard and mumbling "Night.... Night..." Winter looked around the office. Most of the teachers seemed occupied, except one young looking female that was watching her. "Yes, Night. Class 3." She leaned over and shook her head "No, Knight. K-N-I-G-H-T." The male teacher grimaced and looked back at his clipboard "Winter Knight, class 5.... with me." Winter noted his scowl. "You will address me as Mr. Cornell. I am your homeroom teacher." He stood, "follow me now to the classroom." Winter nodded before looking back at the young woman and smiling. The woman immediately averted the eye contact and Winter followed Cornell smiling to herself. They walked to the classroom. Mr. Cornell entered first as Winter counted thirty seconds in her head before entering. "Quiet class! Now! You have a new student today.. she will introduce herself. blah blah blah..." Winter studied Cornell out of the corner of her eye before focusing her attention on the class. She smiled brightly. "Hello everyone! My name is Winter Knight. I am a new student. I just moved here from Florida. I hope we can be friends. Please take care of me!" Winter identified whose attention she had and the body language of each of the students. She took into account who clapped when she was finished and whose eyes were still on her as Cornell told her where to sit. "Um, my eyesight isn't the best so can I sit in the middle?" Cornell sighed and nodded, annoyed. Winter smiled brightly and took her seat, still feeling eyes on her. This is going to be a long day isn't it?
