Unexpected News

Chapter 4

The next morning I wake up and get ready to go downstairs to the reception to collect my timetable. As I come out of my room I see female students in the hallway in their uniform as the males and females dorms are separate. There are three huge buildings in total. One that holds the girls, the other that contains all the boys and lastly the one that lesson are held at. I ignore the stares from multiple girls as I make my way downstairs. I see even more girls down the stairs again as the also stare at him. I couldn’t tell if their stares were out of malicious intent, curiosity, envy or whatever. All I know is I’ve heard many stories or seen movies where girls at boarding schools are bitchy, envious and will plot your downfall. Let me tell you that is the last thing I want to get involved in here. Yes I was sent here because of my behaviour but I’m really a lovely person. My character is misunderstood a lot of the times, which is why I don’t like to mingle around with people and is why I only have two close friends in my circle. That is all I need. Better to have two, three close friends than a bunch of ‘friends’ who are fake and really aren’t your friends.

I try my best to ignore those stares coming at me form left, right and centre. I make my way downstairs and reach the reception finally. I wait for a bit as I see that she is busy. When she is done I get her attention. “Excuse me, I’m here to collect my timetable. You told me yesterday to come get it this morning” I say

“Oh yes, I remember you. Just a sec I’ll get it for you”

“Ok, no problem” I respond back. I wait a minute before she comes back. 

“Here’s you timetable darling”. She hands me the piece of paper. “Do you already have your uniform” she asks 

“Yes I do” 

“Ok just making sure you do so your ready for your lessons this afternoon. That’s all then”  she smiles at me

“Thank you very much” I say as I walk back upstairs. The hallway has cleared out now as I’m upstairs in the long corridor full of dorms. I make my way back into my room and lock the door behind me. I begin to sort myself out for this afternoon as I am not looking forward to it whatsoever. I find it uncomfortable in new environments with new faces and all. Once I get familiarised with a place and the people I start to fee comfortable to a certain extent. As time has past it is now time to head of to my first lesson. I check my timetable to see what I have and where to go. I come out of my room, lock the door, head down to the main hallway and out the building. As I get to the building I’m meant to be at I start to navigate my way around with absolute no clue of where I’m going. As I found the corner I accidentally bump into someone resulting in what they had to fall to the ground. s**t. I curse inwardly. I begin to lower myself down to the ground to pick it up for whoever it is. 

“I’m so sorry, I was wasn’t looking at where I was going” I say as I begin to stand up and take a look a whoever’s in front of me. As I look up my eyes catches a set of captivating hazel nut brown eyes. I stand there speechless as i check him out. His broad shoulders and toned arms are being engulfed by a tight fitting short sleeved shirt. Making his muscular physique prominent. I must have lost my self in checking as the next second I’m being spoken to. 

“Can I have my things back” he says with a look of uninterest. Oh s**t I just realised I had been checking him out that I forgot to hand him back his things that fell. 

“Oh sorry here” I hand him his things and as I give them back my fingers graze his and I instantly pull back feeling a tingle sensation throughout my body which I have never felt before. I look at him to see his reaction which stayed unbothered. He takes a few seconds in looking at me with an unknown look to his eyes before  walking off. I’m left feeling stunned at the encounter with him and curious as to as if he felt whatever I just felt seconds ago. The bell goes off again a second time to indicate lessons have started and that all students should be in class. I start to panic as I I’m already late for my first ever lesson here and I haven’t found the room to first lesson yet. I see what seems to be a teacher in the corridor looking out to see if any students are lingering around still. I wiki kit make my way over to him. 

“Excuse me, I’m looking for room” I lift my timetable up to him to show him “do you know where that is please”. He takes a look at my timetable and look back up at me to reply back. 

“Oh yes just down this corridor turn left and you’ll see the room. It will have the room number on the door” 

“Ok than you very much” I say and make my way there. Here I go. My first lesson I am and late. My thoughts say to me before walking in.
