Rose was in a whirlwind and she did not like it. People all running around, all knowing where they were meant to be, 'but not me' she sighed. She should be galloping around for joy, this is the moment she had been waiting for so long, had begged for so long , and now she was here!

She looked up the steps, the shield of Queens blazed in glory above, she liked the design of it and copied it down in her notebook. She flipped through the pages, there was a sketch of the train driver, a few quick flicks of other passengers and Tom and Eleanor's faces when they let her go off.

A boy ran past and knocked the book out her hand, "Scum!" she yelled out after him. She then felt a bit remorseful, Eleanor had been trying so hard to break her out of the habit of calling people names when she was riled, bit of a pity though, she could think of some delicious ones. In the corner of her eye she could see a group of students looking dazed and huddled together, 'at least they have each other, I have no one". No one, the words thudded in her head, she had to rely on herself, talent, brains and charm to get through Queens.

Out of the corner of her eye she could see a red headed girl. It wasn't the red hair that caught her eye, you'd think she'd be used to it by now, seeing it in the mirror all the time, though she determinedly said it was strawberry blonde (she'd read that in a magazine once and like the sound of it). No, she decided that it was her eyes, they didn't seem lost or anything, but then they looked over the crowd, like she was in a world of her own and seeing visions so beautiful. Rose liked the look of her, she looked like someone who would understand - she'd like to be friends with that red haired girl….that's if she got past the exams
