      Chapter 1 – Back at School

      Today was the end of summer vacation. The sun shone brightly.

      What a beautiful day to start school! Especially to be head girl too, cried Esther. She set off as an early morning bird. When she got to the now still-empty school grounds, she searched for new girls. Excited was she to go to her boarding school again – McJone’s Foundry School.

      A few minutes later, a new girl with a mass of red curly hair and freckles with almond eyes walked in the school gates, with another girl who was obviously her sister. She seemed quite lost.

      Esther went up to her at once.

      Hallo, new girl! she said amiably. What’s your name, and which grade are you in? You have to find your teacher so she can help you out.

      My name’s Celine Tebbits. This is my sister, Liliana Tebbits. I’m in the 4th, and Liliana’s in the 2nd. said Celine, shyly.

      Okay, Celine. I’m head girl, so I’ll help you find Miss Kellie, your teacher. Liliana can go to Miss Linda; you know, the teacher with short brown hair over there, with glasses. It’s your first day, so after reporting your names to your teachers, you’ll have to come with me to see the headmistress, Miss Caty. said Esther.

      Miss Kellie was delighted to see Celine. The teacher had a strict, solemn face, and Celine was a bit scared of her. Then Miss Kellie smiled, and Celine immediately liked her. She couldn’t be scared of someone who smiled like that!

      Soon Miss Kellie dismissed the girls, and let Esther and Celine go to Miss Caty.

      Miss Caty studied Celine. Then she looked up, and asked Celine, Don’t you have a twin? Miss Nellie said you did.

      Celine laughed. She’s my sister, Liliana, who’s in the second grade. I’m in the fourth. We were both transferred here from St Louisa’s. The reason we came was because there were too many girls in St Louisa’s, so we had to come here, to make room for the overflow girls.

      Miss Caty laughed too. She said, Very well, Celine. You look like you’ve got good brains. I’ll see that you can use them! Esther, take care of them. There’s another new girl that I don’t know much about. I have only seen her once, and she looks beautiful. If you see a girl looking just like an angel, you’ve found the right girl. She’s Alice.

      The first day of school was always fun. Esther loved it, every year, but even more this year because she was head girl. She went through the school, inquiring of those who had seen Alice lately.

      Esther was surprised to hear the girls whispering when she rushed to Alice.

      "Why does Esther want to help that snob Alice? gushed a girl. Alice is worse than caramel candy. What with her golden hair and blue eyes! Ugh!"

      I tried to help out Alice, gossiped another. "And do you know what she said? She said, ‘What in the world are you doing? You with your shaggy hair and ugly clothes! Stay away from me! It sickens me even to look at your face.’ What a haughty attitude! It doesn’t surprise me that no one is helping her out. I’ve a good mind to
