Michael, a new face at PPT, walked through the large oak doors, eyeing them suspiciously. An emblem of a strange smiling dog-like creature was engraved onto the panels of the door, with the name Pink Poogle Toy written on them.
'Pink Poogle Toy?' he thought to himself as he slunk through the overly crowded corridors. 'Strange...'
The school itself was odd, but in a way that was hard to describe. There was just something about the mood of the school that was very unlike any other school he attended. The school even smelt strange. As he walked down the halls to his homeroom, a terrible smell like that of rotten turnips and insect repellant reached his nose. He saw people around him blocking their noses, but still going on their regular business, as if the presence of the smell was nothing out of the ordinary.
Turning around, he decided to try and find another way to his homeroom. After a few turns and stairwells however, he was thouroughly lost.
"Ahh... any help?" he asked a girl who was walking past him chatting animatedly to her friends. She looked at him from the corner of her eye for a moment, but just continued walking.
"Okaaay..."
Another girl with a purposeful look in her face was walking past. Seizing the moment, Michael asked her, "Excuse me, but could you tell me where I could find my homeroom?" She looked startled for a moment as she stared at him, then just kept on walking, muttering something that sounded like 'newbie' under her breath.
Resigning, Michael just sat down on a bench and pulled out his mp3 player. 'Bugger it,' he thought to himself, as he pressed the PLAY button. 'I'll just wait till the bell rings'.
