Dignity....




Maria was home early today.It had been her last day of summer break,and she started school the next day.That was the day she dreaded.She arrived at her house after soccer practice,which she would be giving up to go to her new school.Maria hastily made herself a sandwich and plopped down on the sofa.She fished around a bit untill she found the TV remote, then switched on the the television and flipped to the news channel. The report was just starting.

"We're here live with Joanna Birch, the headmistress of the new and controversial school, Dignity Academy." the interveiwer was saying.She turned to a woman who looked to be about forty or so with short brown hair and a permanent smile plastered on her face. "Miss Birch, many people are saying that your new school is cruel, even inhumane." the woman looked as if she was glaring and smiling at the same time, but she answered in a strangely sweet voice. "My academy is perfectly humane. Parents send their children there to teach them pride. The academy is based on the idea that you cant know how important something is untill you lose it. We teach these children pride by taking it away from them entirely, so that they will understand what we want to teach them. I see nothing wrong with that." The news reporter looked a little scared of the woman herself. "Well, um, Miss Birch, could you tell us about some of the methods the school uses?" Miss Birch smiled sweetly. "Now now, if I did that, others might try to copy us, and we wouldnt want that now would we?"

Maria switched off the TV. She could imagine what would happen at that school. She never wanted to go. But when her mother had heard about it, she had set her mind on forcing Maria into going. Now she was enrolled, and tomorrow would be her first day. To make things worse, it was a boarding school, so she wouldnt even get to come home. Maria sighed as she heard her mother arrive at the door. She had a bad feeling about this school. If only she had known just how bad it would be....

Maria would have slept right through her alarm clock.If her mother hadnt screamed for her to wake up.Dara Hadely didnt even set her own alarm clock,and her room was on the other side of the house,but she always seemed to wake up right when her daughter's alarm clock went off.To Maria,it was proof that she had the most controlling mother on earth.It was her mother who had forced her into this weird school anyway.She had walked in on a game of truth or dare Maria had been playing with some friends.She did this all the time,but of course,it had been the one game where the dares had escalated into stripping.When her mother walked in,Maria was only wearing a tank top and panties.So,Dara had looked online and found Dignity Academy.Which brought her here.

Maria groaned as she remembered why she was awake at 6 AM.She rolled out of her bed and walked sleepily over to her closet to pick out her clothes.She wasnt supposed to bring a suitecase or anything,according to the academy's brochure,the tuition included uniforms for every part of the day.She picket out a modest green tee-shirt and black shorts,then checked her reflection in the mirror.

Now,Maria had always been a pretty girl,but recently she had developed into a truly atractive young lady.Her copper colored hair and emerald eyes complemented each other,and her pale skin accentuated the splash of freckles on her face.She was well defined from her many sports and hobbies,and was generally the head-turner in any room.

Once she was sure she looked alright(which couldve meant anything to her at that time of the morning) she trudged down the hallway to the front door,where her mother was waiting.They didnt speak the hole way to the school.They had already had numorous arguments about the school,and none of them had gotten anywhere.Eventually Maria fell asleep in the back seat of the car,and didnt wake up untill they arrived.The academy was,to say the least,impressive.

It was comprised of a massive four-story building,made entirely of concrete with black-tinted windows.It looked modern and intimidating.Her mother led her to the door and pushed her inside.They found themselves in a dim room filled with strange art that seemed like just swirling paint.In the front of the room was a reception desk,where a cheery woman sat smiling in the same creepy way as Miss Birch had in the news interview.

"May I help you?" she asked brightly.Maria's mother stepped forward. "Im here to check in my daughter." she said.The woman smiled even wider. "Name?" "Maria Hadely." The woman typed something, presumably Maria's name,into the computer that sat in front of her. "Ah yes, here you are." she waved over at a tinted glass door near the back of the room,and another smiling woman appeared. "This is Cassidy," the woman behind the desk was saying. "She'll take you back for your evaluation and check you in."

"Evaluation?" Maria asked nervously.Cassidy materialized beside her and gripped her hand. "Nothing to worry about sweety!Just something to see where you are and what we need to work on.Come on!" she said,speaking quickly so that it was difficult for Maria to understand her.Maria didnt like being called 'sweety',but she didnt say anything as she was led into the same door that Cassidy had emerged from......
