My own personal doll?

 "What do you mean special kind of Alice?" I asked.

"Well that pendant belongs to the first Alice. She was the reason that this country is the way it is. She was here back about hundred or so years ago. You will end up learning about her in your history class." She turned to the other girls who were all in their own uniforms. "Now let's go outside so I can pass out one last thing before we transport to the school." All the girls filed out of the room but I stood there so I could ask Mrs. Helen something without everyone eavesdropping.

"Ma'am, What was the first Alice's name?"

"She was Alice, The Alice."  She looked at me curiously.

"What was her last name?"

"I don't rightly remember. Now let's not keep everyone waiting" I nodded and followed her out.

Everyone was standing with their luggage but the bus was gone. The girls were all whispering to each other the guys just stood there like they didn't know what was really going on. The guys uniforms looked really cool. They were different colors and patterns but all seemed original for each person. One guy's uniform made him look a bit like a waiter. Another boy's looked like a type of prince or king he stood there looking around at the girls. I didn't like how he was looking at them or me. when I looked around more the only ones left of the other students were the White rabbits and the Alice's.

"Now the two Alice's will now hand out you school pin. You must wear it anytime you leave your room." She gestured to the girls and they started to pass the pins out. "These pins not only say you belong to the school and it will help the citizens identify you not only as students but as possible customers and employee's."

"Wait, employees?" A girl in yellow asked.

"Yes you get an allowance as a student but once it's gone for the month it's gone. You will then have to make your own to get through the rest of the month. The shops pay well and they don't expect you to have an experience or to work there full time." She turned to the rabbits. "Open the portal like in practice." She turned back to us. "Make sure your pin is on and when I call your name and room number I want you to walk through the portal. Ladies first." She started to call out names and numbers. Before I knew it she was at my name. "Alice Goodwin room 735." I grabbed my bag, stepped up, closed my eyes, and walked through the portal.

When I opened my eyes I was in a dorm room. The one side of the room had been decorated with pictures and drawings. There was a porcelain doll sitting on the desk on what must be my side. An envelope sat on my bed. I dropped my bag next to the bed and picked it up. Inside was $300 and a letter. The letter read,

"Welcome Alice Goodwin to Wonderlin Academy. In this envelope is your first month allowance. It will pay for your meals and other little things you need. Every month on the beginning of each month you will get your allowance, but if you miss use it you will have to find a way to make money to pay for food.

"The doll on the desk is a personal reminder and research assistant. Pull the string on the back to activate it. She will remember anything you tell her. She will also go to the library to find any book or books that you need. She can also gather almost anything you need, but food you must go to the cafeteria or store for yourself along with anything you wish to buy. If you break her she will cost almost two month of allowance. The doll will keep tract and warn you when you are running low on cash. As well as help you find a job.

"We are looking forward to helping you grow as a student here. Sincerely the head master Lady White."

I sat the envelope and letter on the desk and picked up the doll she was pretty and not creepy like most dolls. Her white hair hung strait and pooled around her. The plain white dress looked like a night gown. I turned her looking for a string. I couldn't find one. It was strange. The note said it has a string I'm suppose to pull.

"It's on her back under her dress." A small voice said behind me.

"Thanks," I turn to thank her properly when I as no one.

"Down here." The voice said. I looked down and saw a pink haired doll in a puffy dress with a heart beret holding her black hair up in a bun. Her pink eyes stared up at me.

"Umm…" I was speechless.

"I'm Jewel, Holly Maroon's doll. It's nice to meet you." She curtsied. "I would also like to meet your doll. Would you mind waking her?"

"Sure," I turned back to the doll in my hand. Reaching up the back of her dress I grabbed the cord and pulled. When nothing happened I sat her down and stared at her. After a few seconds she stretched and blinked up at me.

"Hello, I am doll 2937BL. It's nice to meet you." She said smiling up at me.

"Hello doll 2937 from the beloved collection. I am Jewel, Holly Maroon's doll." Jewel said climbing up on my desk. She turned to me. "You can name her whatever you wish she is yours."

"Okay, then from now on your name is,"

"Before you name her make sure you really want her to have this name. It cannot be changed afterwards." Jewel said.

"I don't really know what to name her." I admit.

"Well we all have names that mean something to our owners. Jewel is my name because Holly sees knowledge as the ultimate jewel and she is here to grasp that jewel."

"Okay I think I get it. So you name it after something special to you."

"That's what most do." Jewel said nodding.

"Okay than, doll 2937BL your name will be Lily." I smile at the doll.

"My name is now Lily. What is your name, ma'am? And what is you classification?" Lily asked.

"My name is Alice Goodwin, and I am an Alice." I smile at me.

"My lady is an Alice named Alice." Lily nods. "I will do whatever you wish my lady. I am you doll."
