[center][h3][b][color=92278f]Nora Evans[/color][/b][/h3][/center] Lurching forward, Nora clutched at her chest where the steel I beam had crushed her lungs, dooming her to a painful and agonizing death... except no representative of the afterlife approached her. At least not this time. Instead, she found herself sitting alone in her room, her bed wet with sweat and her heart pounding against her chest. [color=92278f][i]It was just a nightmare. Just a scary dream that's all over now. I'm safe in my own bed.[/i][/color] She attempted to comfort herself, but despite her words she couldn't shake the strange feeling. The feeling that what she had imagined was all too real. That she really had died and someone had come to save her in those last few moments of consciousness. [color=92278f][i]That's not possible though. Besides, if it were, how would I have gotten back home and in bed? Ready to face the school day ahe-[/i][/color] The girl's eyes widened in horror as a new realization dawned on her. [color=92278f]"I'm going to be late for class!"[/color] Jumping out from her sheets and quickly getting ready, she'd be running as fast her legs could carry her to the school campus, not knowing the events that would soon transpire and reveal to her a whole new world that would shatter the one she'd grown up in. After classes had ended for the day and most of the student body were making their way home, Nora decided to waste some time near the school's announcement board. There sat several papers all pinned to the wall to allow students to know of any upcoming events or possible information they'd be interested in, but she was focused on a very specific group of promotional material. Despite how much the student council may have pushed for students to join a club, she had yet to do so, feigning ignorance by being a clueless foreigner. If she had to be honest though, she was simply nervous about spending time with people she barely knew. [color=92278f][i]I want to make friends though, and joining a club of people who are interested in something I also enjoy would definitely be a step in the right direction. Which one though?[/i][/color]
