Unexpected News

Chapter 3

We get into the Uber from the restaurant and it drops each one of us at our house with me being the last one. I get home after a very long night and head upstairs to my room. The house is quiet so mom and dad must be asleep. I go into my bathroom and remove my makeup and throughly cleans my face. As I don’t want my face to breakout the next morning. 

 Next morning I get ready to head off to the boarding school. My parents are ready and waiting downstairs for me. I get my suitcase standing by my door and a few bits and bobs and head downstairs. We walk to my dads car. I load my things in the boot. We get in and I strap in my seatbelt and get ready for a  long journey. The journey there is about 3 hours as I had done my research yesterday. Found out the boarding school is one the ‘best’ yeah right. I’m overall not looking forward to it. 3 hours later we get there and the first thing that catches my eye is the building. It’s a huge, long brick looking building,  looking like a castle with many storey’s. Me, mom and dad walk towards the building and enter. I start looking around the area as I hear my mum and dad talking to the receptionist. It’s actually a nice liking building from within. The next minute there walking off I follow after them. We lead to where I will be staying. The receptionist tells me to come collect my timetable tomorrow morning before heading off downstairs. The receptionist must have handed my parent the keys to my room as my mum has opened it and they’ve headed in before me. 

 As I walk in I begin to look around the room. First thing that I spot when walking in is a set of wardrobe that is connected to the wall. Attached to that are five little opened sectioned area of storage area, and along that direction the bed is situated there, with a large built in mirror opposite it above the floor from waist length and upwards. Just above that on the wall is a shelf which can come in handy. Besides the bed is a learning area with a table and chair with the window just in front of it. An ideal area for leaning as after or during a hard length of period of learning it’s easily accessible to get fresh air by popping open a window right in front of you. Beneath the desk are four compartment draws. I’m not mad at the size of  the room. It’s an enough size for one person to stay in with even a bit more room than needed. 

“The room is really lovely honey, what do you think?” My mum says

“Yh it’s not bad” I reply back 

“We’ll let you get used to the area and head of then honey” my dad finally 

“We’ll keep in contact with you honey and each half term break we’ll come and collect you to spend it at home if you’d like” my mum suggests. 

“Yh that’s fine mom and dad, I’ll keep you notified” I reply back to both of them and they turn to leave. 

“Bye honey” both my mum and dads say before closing the door. 

I get accustomed to where I’ll be staying for a while. I unpack my things and organise them in my wardrobe an hour later I lay in bed out of boredom. I don’t start classes until tomorrow afternoon. So I have plenty of time to kill. Tash and Zikiara have just finished their last period of the the day as I know from mentally studying there timetables for a while now. So I decide to message Tash and Zikiara on our iMessage group chat. 

“Heyyyy Bihhhhh!! Just got there girls”

“Omg how is it!” Zikiara responds back with enthusiasm 

“Yh how is it!” Tash replies asking the same thing

“It’s not bad you know, I mean from what I see. My room is really spacious. Wait let me send you lot a picture” 

“Oooooo OK THEN!. You ain’t got nothing to complain about” Tash says after seeing the picture of my room I sent them. I chuckle after reading her reply.

“Yh girl wasn’t expecting their student rooms to look THAT GOOD” Zikiara says 

“Me too girl. I wasn’t expecting much” 

After about 30minutes of talking with Tash and Zikiara we end the conversation. I become bored again with nothing to do. I get a message from my parents later on in the day saying they have arrived back home. Later in the evening I go to sleep as there is nothing else to do.
