.... A change of Headmaster and a very loud, horribly bossy alarm was not the way that she had wanted to start the term... However she was HERE and nothing was going to get her down. Not even having to run so early in the morning... besides, she ran with her fellow gymnasts a few times a week as part of their training. She wasn't great at it - wasn't the fasted, wasn't able to go for the longest without becoming breathless.... but she didn't hate it... which... right now seemed like a really, really, really big thing to be thankful for.

Blinking as her eyes adjusted to the darkness after the lit corridors, Holly frowned and wrapped her arms around her stomach against the brisk air of the early (really reeally early) September morning.

Please be a joke. Please be over quickly if you aren't joking.
