As I looked around I realized the dormitory was empty. Everyone had left but me. Thinking I must have overslept, I hurried out of bed and down to Hornam Hall where breakfast just had been served. I got to the table where we usually sit, but no one was there except Jackline, who got up from the table as soon as I approached it. I stopped her. “Where is everybody?” I asked. She lifted both hands and shook her head. “I don’t want to be a part of any of this,” she said and hurried away from me like someone running from a wild beast. What was she talking about? I thought to myself as I sat down and started eating my food. A moment later the Cornwell twins arrived. For the first time I was actually quite happy to see them. I smiled at them, but didn’t get any reaction back. Then Nigel came and even he had a hard time looking at me. Something was very wrong. Had I done something that made people resent me? “So where is everybody?” I asked a little nervously. Alexandra lifted her head and stared at me.
