MORNING: FEBRUARY 2ND, DAY ZERO

"Calling all students." The principal's loud, clear voice echoed over the various speakers dotted around the school, "Calling all students. Please report to the auditorium right away, as the opening ceremony is about to begin."

She sighed, running her hands through her hair as she came to stand on center stage. The freshman should have all arrived now, appearing from all over the world, unpacked their bags to head to the opening ceremony. A new year at Fulton was about to begin, in which the houses could take on their new pledges. It should be interesting to see the crazy antics that this year would bring.

"Now, to all the old students. Welcome back to Fulton, get ready for another year of fun, excitement and crazy pledging, And to the New students, welcome." She put on an artificial smile, sweet enough to make a bunny hurl, "The first pledging will begin tomorrow in the morning. It is tradition for the Alpha and Beta pledging to commence first. You have one day to prove yourself for each house. Until then, relax, mix, mingle and enjoy. And House members, " she looked over the old students warningly, knowing how horrid it could be for the newbies, "be nice."

And with that, she turned and left, leaving the students to mix and mingle until tomorrow's first pledging.
