Chapter1-New School and Old Friends

The three Baudelaire siblings sat on one side of a double bench waiting to see the headmaster of the miserable school. Violet the eldest was bent over a sketch book which Charles gave to her before they left the lumber telling her that her father enjoyed to draw when he was thinking of something new. She would have asked him how he knew their father but Mr Poe had whisked them off before she could ask. Klaus sat on her left examining the half of a spyglass which had come in a parcel the banker had given to him after saying that he didn't think that they knew anyone in Peru or why his secretary would have a package for them, silently he turned it over running his thumb over the dials which ringed his half. Sunny sat on her right gnawing on a carrot to stop her from chewing on the hideous piece of furniture they were sitting on. The horrible screeching of whichever instruments was being played echoing in the halls. Slamming the sketchbook shut Violet groaned "why the hell are we here, we've been sat on this bench for hours and that screeching is beginning to get on my nerves." Klaus pocketed the spyglass half and looked at his sister "I know what you mean Violet but maybe here we can find some answers."

"Klaus we've always nearly had answers as to what our parents' were up to but never actually found any" Violet replied.

"I understand Violet I want some answers too so does Sunny but we have to be patient" Klaus said

"Answer" Sunny said having finished her carrot meaning I want to know what is going on.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't help overhear part of your conversation but your name's Violet" someone said. Violet, Klaus and Sunny looked at the speaker it was a boy around their age with dark brown hair and green eyes standing next to a girl who looked identical.

"Why do you ask?" Violet questioned looking at him there was something vaguely familiar about him.

"Violet it's me Duncan" the boy now know as Duncan said. Violet's eyes widened and she grinned "I can't believe that you're here it's been so long" she said as they hugged.

Their siblings looked at each other and then at the pair in confusion "can someone please fill me in?" asked the girl, "me too" Klaus said "three" said Sunny meaning me three

…..

Duncan sat next to his sister Isadora utterly bored they were two thirds of a pair of triplets their brother had been lost in the fire which had destroyed their home and their parents. As a result an obnoxious banker by the name of Poe had sent them here and the two of them had been staying in a shack with crabs on the floor and dripping fungi on the roof. They had just been pulled out of lessons with a message that the Vice Principle Nero waned to talk to them and that was nearly three hours ago. Isadora sat quietly next to him looking at the half of a spyglass they had found in the ashes of the fire. The silence and the horrible screeching of the Violin was interrupted by a loud frustrated cry followed by something slamming shut and female voice saying "why the hell are we here, we've been sat on this bench for hours and that screeching is beginning to get on my nerves." Duncan chuckled he agreed with whoever it was completely.

""I know what you mean Violet but maybe here we can find some answers" a boys voice said. Duncan sat up hearing her name he hardly dared to hope it was her Isadora noticed her brothers reaction and looked at him curiously. "Duncan it's rude to eve's drop" she said.

"ssh I'm listening Issy" he said as the boy spoke again

"I understand Violet I want some answers too so does Sunny but we have to be patient" Duncan grinned and pulled his sister up. "I want you to meet someone to"

"Dunc what are you doing we can't just interrupt" Isadora protested as they rounded to the other side of the bench.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't help overhear part of your conversation but your name's Violet" someone said. The three children looked up at them and Duncan nearly fell over it was her those purple eyes were unmistakable (I know that this is not Violet's actual eye colour but I wanted a unique way for him to recognise her).

"Why do you ask?" Violet questioned looking at him there was something vaguely familiar about him.

"Violet it's me Duncan" the boy now know as Duncan said. Violet's eyes widened and she grinned "I can't believe that you're here it's been so long" she said as they hugged.

Their siblings looked at each other and then at the pair in confusion "can someone please fill me in?" asked the girl, "me too" Klaus said "three" said Sunny meaning me three.

There was a sudden loudly clicking noise and someone in a hideously pink frilly dress and tap shoes twirled into view "Why hello cake sniffers, I'm here to give you newbies a special tour of the school"

"Er who are you?" asked Klaus. The girl giggled "why everyone knows I'm Carmelita spats the most adorable girl here, I don't have to wear a school uniform because the Vice Principle likes me best"

"Go away Carmelita, you're the cake sniffer" Duncan told her the girl looked annoyed then grinned "how cute the cake sniffing orphans are making friends with each other." Violet, Klaus and Sunny were then called into the office and told that they were going to live in a shack and that Sunny was going to be a secretary.
