Effie stumbled out of the limousene with the other students.  She was tired, confused, and felt totally out of place.  The tall, imposing buildng before here looked in many ways similar to the private school that she had just left, and she felt a glimmer of hope that maybe things woud turn out OK.  She stood nervously on her own - unlike everyone else. she had no bags to carry - only the old uniform that she stood in.  "I hope the teachers turn up soon", she thought to herself.
