"And over here is the Principal's Office." Cynthia said. Arya stared at the office door, it was creepy to say the least. "What's our principal's name?" Arya asked her "she goes by Ms. Keri. Nobody knows her true name." Cynthia stated. Arya walked up to the door, staring at it. She quietly knocked on it "Ari, what are you doing?" Cynthia asked her. "Visiting the principal." Arya replied. The doors creaked open, there stood a woman. She was sort of intimidating to Arya "yes?" She asked "I am Arya McRose-Anderson. The new student here at Spring Gardens School For Girls. And, I was wondering if I could meet my new principal." She held her hand out, waiting for the woman to shake it. "Nice to officially meet you, McRose-Anderson. I am Carol Lorette, the vice-principal at Spring Gardens." She shook Arya's hand. She peered over Arya and saw Cynthia "Ms. Phillips, would you hurry to your class? If you need help finding a classroom, you can always ask me. I expect you to know though, considering that you are a sophomore." She asked Cynthia "of course, Mrs. Lorette." Cynthia walked away, leaving Carol and Arya alone.
"Ms. Keri, we have a student here for you." Carol called out for Ms. Keri. Arya looked around the principal's office, it was like a regular office. "Do you know our principal's true name?" She asked Carol. She turned towards Arya "true name? Honey, Ms. Keri is our principal's true name. Did Cynthia say that Ms. Keri was her fake name?" Carol asked her "yes, she did." Arya responded. As soon as Arya said that, a woman walked down the stairs that were on the right side of the office. "Is that the student you speak of, Carol?" She asked, Carol nodded. She then turned to Arya, with a blank expression on her face "why, hello there. I'm Principal Keri. Principal of Spring Gardens. You must be Arya Ruth McRose-Anderson. Carol, would you step out for a moment?" She asked, Carol nodded and left the room. "Now then, Arya, have Cynthia told you that Ms. Keri isn't my real name?" She asked, she slowly stepped down the staircase. "Yes. Why are you and Carol, I mean, Mrs. Lorette, asking me this question? Is it a rumor? Is it just an assumption?" Arya asked. Ms. Keri stepped down the final step and went over to her desk, slowly. "It is actually. However, Keri is my first name. My real name is..."
