for some reason, I didn’t go up to the school until the following day after most of the other kids that I was with went up.
the first thing I saw was the down field, and it was nothing but dirt. I had been imagining the lush green lawns and horses, just as I had been told the school was like. It wasn’t like that at all.
I then was told that there was no more room in the dorms for me and so didn’t have a bed or anything. I had to spend my first night there in my older sister’s dorm, sharing her bed. she had been up at the school a day or so before me and already knew all the ropes.
she didn’t hesitate to tell me promptly as soon as it was dark that the school was haunted.
so, now I had no dorm and was immediately scared of the ghosts.
thanks alot!
then the next day, since there was no more room in any of the dorms, I was put in a small room with a few other girls in the boys dorm. with the worst matron.
she caned me once simply for wanting to leave the dorm one afternoon–that might have been my first caning, I don’t remember.
so, needless to say, my dreams of riding horses on the lush lawns were instantly dashed and the harsh realities were set for me on that first day.
it sucked!
