Lauren stood on the steps of the Academy, staring out at the road that stretched all the way to the massive gate in line with the equally huge wall that surrounded the campus. She rifled through various papers to give to the leader of each faction and two tablets for the leaders of Sedition and Savant. She took out her own and looked over the instructions given to her by the Admins. She ran her hand through her dark hair. She was finally going to meet real, living, breathing people. She was so tired of the monotone voices of the Admins on the intercom. She squinted her eyes at the road, then widened them as she saw the first windowless bus pull in, bringing in the first students that would have their lives changed forever.
