Question

I noticed two things when I first stepped into room 2701 in Bradwell Private Academy. The first thing is that it was a science lab, a nice one too, the kind of place with expensive equipment and all the scientific tables hung on the correct places on the walls.
The second thing was: I didn’t know where I should sit.
In my old school, on the first day, we sat in alphabetical order of last names, in rows. But here, there were no rows and I didn’t know anyone’s names. So where the hell was I supposed to sit!
I scanned the room for an empty seat on an empty bench, but there didn’t seem to be any. Everyone who has been here last year has claimed their seats at their benches and was clustered around in their social circles, exchanging their fun experiences from their usual vacation spots. I seemed to be the only new one here. My bad luck.
My eyes automatically went to the center table, the most interesting people usually sat there, as I read from books and saw in movies.
The group who claimed the center table was 2 girls and 1 boy. The first was a tall—at least I thought so, she could have been kneeling on her chair—girl with really long hair that probably have went over her waist if she let it down. The second girl had a cute face framed with curly hair, she looked younger than most of the others in the class. The boy looked like the smart type that get good grades but isn’t a complete nerd, and he was kind of cute.
So this was the climate control of the class. I had thought that they would be a little more, well, glamorous; like those Upper East Siders in Gossip Girl. These people looked more like intellectuals.
As I pondered about where to sit, the long-haired girl seemed to notice me standing in the middle of the lab for the first time. She smiled and waved me over. I hesitated, to go or not to go, going could be cause a major scandal; but not going will mean missing out on the possible glamour life in Bradwell.
“Hey! I don’t remember seeing you! You new?” She smiled and asked. She had a strange, international accent that sounded American but somehow not. She is probably from one of those foreign old families.
“Uh…yea…?” I slowly began walking towards the empty chair next to the boy on the table.
“Sit here if you want.” The curly-haired girl said. Her voice was kind of soft, and there was a slight hint of accent in it, like with the long-haired girl, but more Chinese than anything else.
I pulled out the stool from under the table, but looked at them for to make sure it was really all right. “Are you sure it’s ok, I mean, if I sit here?” I mean, people like these don’t usually invite new girls like me to sit with them.
“Yes.” The boy said, his nose twitched adorably. He was really cute, did I mention that already? I sat down.
I felt my face getting hot already, so I turn the other way and dug into my bag so Mr. Cuteguy wouldn’t see how red my face was.
“So uh, what’s your name?” One of the girls asked, I’m not sure which, but I figured that it was the long-haired one.
I looked up and smiled my nicest “nice-to-meet-you” smile. “Uh…Victoria, Victoria…Nathanelle.” I said, feeling a little weird saying my full name, since I’ve gone by Vicki since as long as I remember.
“Well, nice to meet you, Victoria Nathanelle. I’m Nicolette Claire Nathan Petrelli, but usually with a name like that, I go by Niki.” The long-haired girl said. I could tell by her voice and eyes that she was laughing, laughing at me!

Answer 1

To write a book in the first person, is very difficult. many people don't like that sort of read.

Don't mention any think, your readers are not stupid.

The best way to judge a book is by reaeding the first 3 cha-pters as well as the last chapter.

Try writing "She walked into the lectute room ......"

Answer 2

Nice job man, good storyline, excellent work, except for the sentence "My bad luck." I would consider changing that to maybe, "As luck would serve it." or maybe I seemed to be the only new one here, (Just my luck.)

Answer 3

Very,very good.

i like your style of writing and how you explain exactly what she see's and thinks.

Open book with black and white drawings

A reader reading a book (Taslima Nasrin reading her book)

Before the invention and adoption of the printing press, almost all books were copied by hand, making books expensive and comparatively rare.A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page. A book produced in electronic format is known as an e-book.



Books may also refer to a literature work, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature.



In novels, a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, etc).



A lover of books is usually referred to as a bibliophile, a bibliophilist, or a philobiblist, or, more informally, a bookworm.



A store where books are bought and sold is a bookstore or bookshop. Books can also be borrowed from libraries or obtained for reading through the practice of BookCrossing.

Etymology

The word book comes from Old English "bōc" which comes from Germanic root "*bōk-", cognate to beech.[1] Similarly, in Slavic languages (e.g. Russian and Bulgarian "буква" (bukva)—"letter") is cognate to "beech". It is thus conjectured that the earliest Indo-European writings may have been carved on beech wood.[2]



Blook, a recent neologism, is either an object manufactured to imitate a bound book, such as an on-line book published via a blog, or a printed book that contains or is based on content from a blog.

A thin marker, commonly made of paper or card, used to keep one's place in a book is a bookmark. Bookmarks were used throughout the medieval period,[3] consisting usually of a small parchment strip attached to the edge of folio (or a piece of cord attached to headband). Bookmarks in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were narrow silk ribbons bound into the book and become widespread in the 1850s. They were usually made from silk, embroidered fabrics or leather. Not until the 1880s, did paper and other materials become more common.





Sizes



Real-size facsimile of Codex Gigas

The world's largest bookMain article: Book size

The size of a modern book is based on the printing area of a common flatbed press. The pages of type were arranged and clamped in a frame, so that when printed on a sheet of paper the full size of the press, the pages would be right side up and in order when the sheet was folded, and the folded edges trimmed.



The most common book sizes are:



Quarto (4to): the sheet of paper is folded twice, forming four leaves (eight pages) approximately 11-13 inches (ca 30 cm) tall

Octavo (8vo): the most common size for current hardcover books. The sheet is folded three times into eight leaves (16 pages) up to 9 ¾" (ca 23 cm) tall.

DuoDecimo (12mo): a size between 8vo and 16mo, up to 7 ¾" (ca 18 cm) tall

Sextodecimo (16mo): the sheet is folded four times, forming sixteen leaves (32 pages) up to 6 ¾" (ca 15 cm) tall

Sizes smaller than 16mo are:



24mo: up to 5 ¾" (ca 13 cm) tall.

32mo: up to 5" (ca 12 cm) tall.

48mo: up to 4" (ca 10 cm) tall.

64mo: up to 3" (ca 8 cm) tall.

Small books can be called booklets.



Sizes larger than quarto are:



Folio: up to 15" (ca 38 cm) tall.

Elephant Folio: up to 23" (ca 58 cm) tall.

Atlas Folio: up to 25" (ca 63 cm) tall.

Double Elephant Folio: up to 50" (ca 127 cm) tall.

The largest extant medieval manuscript in the world is Codex Gigas 92 × 50 × 22 cm. The world's largest book made of stone is in Kuthodaw Pagoda (Myanmar).





Types of books



Types of books according to their contents



Novels in a Polish bookstoreA common separation by content are fiction and non-fictional books. By no means are books limited to this classification, but it is a separation that can be found in most collections, libraries, and bookstores.





Fiction

Many of the books published today are fictitious stories. They are in-part or completely untrue or fantasy. Historically, paper production was expensive; too expensive to be used for entertainment. An increase in global literacy and print technology led to the increased publication of books for the purpose of entertainment, and allegorical social commentary. Most fiction is additionally categorized by genre.



The novel is the most common form of fictional book. Novels are stories that typical feature a plot, setting, themes and characters. Stories and narrative are not restricted to any topic; a novel can be whimsical, serious or controversial. The novel has had a tremendous impact on entertainment and publishing markets.[4]



Comic books or graphic novels are books in which the story is told or illustrated with pictures.





Non-fiction



A page from a dictionary

An encyclopediaIn a library, a general type of non-fiction book which provides information as opposed to telling a story, essay, commentary, or otherwise supporting a point of view, is often referred to as a reference book. A very general reference book, usually one-volume, with lists of data and information on many topics is called an almanac. An encyclopedia is a book or set of books designed to have more in-depth articles on many topics. A book listing words, their etymology, meanings, etc. is called a dictionary. A book which is a collection of maps is an atlas. A more specific reference book with tables or lists of data and information about a certain topic, often intended for professional use, is often called a handbook. Books which try to list references and abstracts in a certain broad area may be called an index, such as Engineering Index, or abstracts such as Chemical Abstracts, Biological Abstracts, etc.





An atlasBooks with technical information on how to do something or how to use some equipment are called instruction manuals. Other popular how-to books include cookbooks and home improvement books.



Students typically store and carry textbooks and schoolbooks for study purposes. Elementary school pupils often use workbooks which are published with spaces or blanks to be filled by them for study or homework. In higher education, is it common for a student to take an exam requiring a bluebook.





a page from a notebook used as hand written diaryThere is a large set of books that are made only to write private ideas, notes, and accounts. These type of books are rarely published and typically are destroyed or remain private.Notebooks are blank books to be written in by the user. Students and writers commonly use them for taking notes. Scientists and other researchers use lab notebooks to record their work. They often feature spiral coil bindings at the edge so that pages may easily be torn out.



Address books, phone books, and calendar/appointment books are commonly used on a daily basis for recording appointments, meetings and personal contact information.



Books for recording periodic entries by the user, such as daily information about a journey, are called logbooks or simply logs. A similar book for writing daily the owner's private personal events, information, and ideas is called a diary or personal journal.



Businesses use accounting books such as journals and ledgers to record financial data in a practice called bookkeeping.





Other

Some examples of books not commonly found under this system include:



Albums are books for holding collections of memorabilia, pictures or photographs. They are often made so that the pages are removable. Stamp albums hold collections of stamps.



Hymnals are books with collections of musical hymns, typically found in churches. Prayerbooks or missals are books containing written prayers. Commonly carried by monks, nuns, and other devoted followers or clergy.
