"Barlow High" The narrator tells us that Barlow High School is "very serious about upholding the reputation" . This means that the school is very strict with its dress code, which means that students have to be very careful with their clothes. The school also has strict rules about what students can and cannot do in class. The narrator says that he's been looking for him all over the place, but he hasn't been able to find him yet. He tells the narrator that he needs to go to the library to pick up some books. He asks the narrator if he can wait a bit, but the narrator says he'll have to go later. He says he can't wait to see the library, and the narrator tells him that he doesn't have to learn any of the rules, just "no human magic," "no saying anything stupid," and "no getting attached." The narrator then says that it's "almost winter" , and that the girl in his class is insane. He's just had to transfer to a new school, and he'd like to know what's going on. He wants to know why the teacher is staring at him, and wonders why the boy isn't staring at the girl. He also wants to see his schedule, and asks the teacher if he knows where he can find it. The teacher says he does, and tells him to look it up on the map, because it looks like they're going to have a class together.
