It was a brisk morning when they approached the front of the school. The large red brick building was almost dreary-looking against the grey sky. Adrianne could hardly believe she was there. She had worked so hard to get into the school and even harder to get the scholarship to pay for it. Even though her mother never wanted her to go, she never let her opinion sway her perseverance to achieve her dreams. This school was the portal to her future.
As she stood gaping at the tall oak doors, suitcases at the foot of the steps with her, something broke her entranced thoughts.
"Excuse me - you're totally in the way!" Said a voice behind her.
She turned to put a name to the character to which she was blocking. She was obviously not a scholarship student with her fresh off the runway designer shoes. Behind her was a man in a sleek black suit who was attempting to balance all of her various cases. Adrianne suddenly felt sorry that she had prolonged his torture. As she stepped out of the way, the girl looked her up and down and turned up her nose.
"I'm not sure why they ever decided to take on tacky charity cases." And with that, the rich girl swaggered up the stairs and into the building.
