Mr. Poe let the children stay at his house, and he bought them more clothes and they were already in the car going to a new guardian.

Violet: where are we going?

Mr. Poe: I am going to bring you to Prufrock Preparatory School. It's the only school that would take you three on such short notice.

Violet: a school?

Mr. Poe: yes! You need to get an education.

As he made a turn they saw the school. There was an arch they went through with the words,

Memento Mori

Printed on them.

Violet: what does memento mori mean?

Klaus: it.. it means remember you will die in Latin.

Violet: that's scary.

Mr. Poe: you shouldn't be scared, Baudelaires. School is fun!

Klaus: not really.

As he dropped them off and they walked to the Vice Principal's Office.

As they knocked, a man holding a violin opened the door.

?: what do you want?!

Violet: we are Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, sir.

Violet remembered Olaf yelling at isabelle for calling him sir and wondered if she was with him right now and what he was doing.

?: my name is Vice Principal Nero and I am a violinist, a genius.

Violet: oh.. well we were wondering what classes we have and stuff.

Nero: come in, come in.

The Baudelaires followed him inside and sat on the chairs.

Nero: since you are orphans you don't get to stay in a regular dorm room.

Klaus: why not?

Nero: because you don't have a signed paper from a parent.

Klaus wondered if olaf was thier guardian if he would sign it.

Violet: where will be staying then?

Nero: in a shack. The orphan shack. Its perfect for you.

Violet didn't think that was perfect.

Nero: violet, you'll be in Mr. Bass's math class, and Klaus, you will be in Mr. Remora's English class.

Klaus: what about sunny?

Nero: she will be my assistant. I need one.

Violet: but-

Nero: now off with you!

Klaus and Violet left the office and waved by eto sunny. They found thier classrooms and hoped thier classes would be easy.

They were not. But now they all had to go to lunch.

As they went into the lunchroom and got thier food, a redheaded girl in a bright pink dress came up to them.

?: everyone, look! It's the Cakesniffing Orphans!

Klaus: who are you?

?: Everyone knows I'm Carmelita Spats. The most adorable girl in the whole wide school.

Violet: okay?

Cs: aren't I adorable?

The Baudelaires said nothing.

Cs: at least I didn't lose my parents in a fire!

A boy came in front of the Baudelaires.

?: leave them alone Carmelita! You're the cakesniffer!

He turned ot the Baudelaires.

?: My name is Duncan Quagmire, and this is my sister, Isadora.

A girl came up to them.

Isadora: you three can sit by us.

They followed the Quagmires to a table in the back.

Klaus: why did you stand up for us?

Duncan: we lost out parents in a fire too, and our third triplet, Quigley.

Violet: you are triplets?

Isadora: yes, and we have gotten bullied by Carmelita plenty.

Klaus: does she bully everyone?

Duncan: almost. She doesn't bully her friends

Violet: why would anyone be her friend?

Duncan: she makes them. This one girl who is her friend, is very quiet and doesn't speak much but she just follows Carmelita around because she tells her to, but she also writes alot, like we do.

Duncan and isadora each took out a notebook.

Duncan: we write down things we learn.

someone tapped klaus on the shoulder.

He turned around and his eyes met isabelle's.

Isa: may I sit with you five?

Violet: isabelle!

The Baudelaires hugged her.

Isa: I told Carmelita that I was going to the bathroom but in reality I am here.

She sat down.

Duncan: I'm happy you decided to sit by us instead of her.

Isa: she isn't nice. And it's not nice to bully people because of fires they didn't create.

Klaus: how did you get here?

Isa: olaf wanted me to come, I don't know. I feel bad though because my mom doesn't know where I am.

Klaus: you.. you have the same tattoo as olaf.

Klaus was staring a ther ankle.

Isa: oh.. yeah... it's no biggie he kinda made me get it.

Violet: scary.

Isa: I'm sorry

She laughed, she clearly wasn't sorry.

Duncan: there's a pep rally today, did you hear about that?

Isa: yes, I also was told by a cakesniffer that Carmelita will be singing and dancing.

Isadora: oh no bless our souls.

Intercom: PEP RALLY RIGHT NOW

isa: ladies, gents. Its showtime.

Klaus: you're gaining vocabulary form Olaf now.

Violet laughed.

Duncan took isabelle's hand, she took klaus, klaus took violet's and she held on tight to sunny as Duncan took Isadora's hand and she led them through the crowd to 5 empty seats where they all sat.

Duncan: I hate these.

Isabelle: I've never been to one of these.

Isadora: prepare to cry.

Nero came on stage.

Nero: welcome everyone! Today we have a different kind of pep rally, for we have a new gym teacher!

Duncan: better be a good one this time.

Isadora: agreed.

Nero: he is the best In the business, I bet you all will love him! Put your hands together for:Coach Genghis!

A tall man, wearing a red jumpsuit ran in stage, he was wearing white running shoes and a white turban.

Isa: no, no, no this can't be happening!

The Baudelaires realized the new gym teacher, was Count Olaf in disguise.

Isa: we all have to get out of here, right now!

Klaus: we can't leave!

Olaf: hello everyone of Prufrock Prep! My name is Coach- whatever I said before, and I am here to be your new gym teacher.

Violet: more like steal our fortune.

Isa: and his daughter.

Olaf: I will proudly introduce to you a new program I have invented! It is called the Special Orphans Running Exercise. Will all the orphans please stand up!

Duncan, Isadora, Violet, Klaus, who was holding sunny, stood up. Isabelle looked down as she stayed sitting.

Olaf: blondie, in the middle, you stand up too.

Isabelle looked up at him

Isa: I'm not an or-

Olaf: Stand up!

Isabelle slowly stood up as olaf stared at her.

Olaf: I will now pick a select few to be in my new program.

He pointed at violet.

Olaf: you.

He pointed at klaus.

Olaf: you,

He pointed at isabelle and smiled.

Olaf: and you! That's all.

Olaf: oh, and the baby.

The Baudelaires, Quagmires and Isabelle sat down and looked a eachother.

Isa: I'm not an orphan..

Klaus: well now you can be!

He smiled at her.

Isa: shut up.

Olaf: that is all.

They all held hands again and once they were out of the crowd they went to the Baudelaires orphan shack.

Isa: this is awful.

Klaus: yeah we have to run.

Duncan: and olaf is here.

Violet: at least we are all together.. for now.

Intercom: WILL THE SPECIAL ORPHANS GO TO THE FIELD FOR THE S.O.R.E. EXERCISE NOW

Klaus: nevermind.

Isa: i hope he doesn't make us run.

Klaus: you have an advantage.

Isa: sorta, come on.

Th Baudelaires followed isabelle to the field where olaf was standing, waiting for them.

Olaf: just the people I was looking for.

He grabbed isabelle by the wrist and pulled her behind him.

Isa: hey!

Olaf: no need for you to talk.

Klaus: dont hurt her!

Olaf: aww does little bookworm have a crush on the artist?

Violet: she's an artist. That's her skill, like how mine is-

Olaf: shut up!

Olaf handed klaus a white bucket of paint.

Olaf: draw a big circle on the ground.

Klaus: why?

Olaf took isabelle's wrist again.

Olaf: do it if you want your girlfriend.

Klaus: she's not my-

Olaf: I don't care! Just do it!

Klaus walked and painted the ground while we walked and made a big circle on the ground, glancing at isabelle every few seconds, seeing her try to get out of Olaf's grasp.

Once he was finished put the bucket on the ground.

Olaf: now run until I say to stop.

He yanked isabelle's arm.

Olaf: not you.

The three Baudelaires ran around and around, sunny was a little slow, she had just started walking so she had to get used to it.

Olaf and isabelle sat on the bleachers. And olaf had taken her notebook and was reading it. The Baudelaires feared for her life.

After a night of running, they went back to thier shack to find the Quagmires fast asleep.

They went to sleep themselves.

×××In the morning they were woken up by a knock on the shack doorKlaus opened it.

It was isabelle.

Klaus: you're safe!

Isa: of course.

She was wearing a pink dress with white running shoes, they looked new. Her hair was down. Klaus thought it looked pretty.

Isa: olaf gave me new shoes. I'm not sure why. Its weird.

Klaus: he wants you to be able to run away if needed, that's my guess.

Isa: that's true. I was going to invite you to come to the school library with me.

Klaus: me?

Isa: yes, but also everyone else.

Klaus: oh okay.

They woke everyone else and they all went to the library.

Isabelle shut the door after everyone and looked outside it.

Duncan: what are you looking out for?

Isa: nothing..

She followed them to a table and they all got books that they liked.

Klaus: you're an artist?

Isa: sorta, I like to draw the most.

Isabelle opened the book she had in her hands. It had drawings inside.

Violet: that's cool.

Isa: it's a perfect time to perfect my drawing skills. what about all of you?

Violet: I like to invent things.

Isa: and you're the bookworm?

She looked at klaus.

Klaus: yes that's me.

Isa: and sunny is the biter.

Duncan: I'm a journalist.

Isadora: and I'm a poet. I have a poem I wrote about Carmelita, it's in my notebook.

Isadora read aloud:

I'd rather eat a bowl of vampire bats than spend an hour with Carmelita Spats.

Isabelle: that is accurate.

Klaus: did olaf take your book, we saw him reading it.

Isa: yeah.. he was mad because i had private stuff about family in it, he is such a crybaby.

Violet: olaf would slap you for that.

Klaus: stop making that joke!

They heard the door knob open

Olaf: orphans!

The Baudelaires and Quagmires hid under the table.

Isa: just me.

Olaf walked over to the table.

Olaf: don't lie to me.

His acting troupe came in front the doors.

Olaf: I told you to bring them here, I know they are here. I'm not stupid.

Isa: I'm not lying.

Olaf: stand up, orphans.

Slowly, the Baudelaires and Quagmires got out from underneath the table. Except they didn't realize his acting troupe would be here too. They were all trapped.

Olaf grabbed isabelle by her hair and pushed her over to his acting troupe, and she fell to the ground.

Klaus: isabelle!

Olaf threw her book at her.

Olaf's acting troupe grabbed the children.

Olaf: bring the boys.

Klaus and duncan were carried out. And isabelle got up and opened her book. All her notes were crossed out.
