"Here we are" I said as if presenting a gift.
"I can see that" he said mimicking my tone.
Great, now let get this s**t done with.
Well that was meant to be a joke, I guess it went wrong. Or maybe he's to mad at me that he can't see that I'm just trying to loosen up a bit. I mean he know that everything that's been happening lately is stressful. Well that's an understatement.
I ignore his response and ring the bell, while we anxiously waited.
About a minute later just as I was about to ring again, a man in his mid fifties opened the gate for us and as if he was programmed he shoved us inside the school or the academy I just don't know what I'll have to call it. And started talking as if it's something he does everyday for a living. And that might be true like imagine how many kids that turned eighteen in the thirty five packs in this treaty.
"You must be the kids Alpha Damien told me about" he said and before we could even answer the question he moved on " well, welcome to Garza academy"
So it's an academy.
"Here you'll be taught how to live, thrive and survive in the outside world" he posed and turned so that he could face us. " sign your names here please" he gave us a paper attached on a clipboard that helped him keep track of kids he have received each day, and by the look of it I'm the forty first today. "The academy will teach you everything you need to know ranging from normal things like mind linking to serious one like fighting." He said and pointed to two rooms in front of us. "Take one each of you and leave your clothes there and wear the ones you'll find there" he said more like commanded.
I hated his voice, it was guttural and I hated how it sounded like it came straight from the throat, it was low and rough but all in all maintaining it's tone that never failed to scare the s**t out of me. This man is terrifying and all his words are filtered he just sounds like a really mad philosopher.
I hope he's done with the briefing. The hope disappears in an instinct as he starts talking again as soon as we enter the changing rooms. " the rules here are simple be obedient, time management, follow the schedule which will be given to you every morning and two more no drugs and definitely no s*x but the last one has conditions" he said as if this was his best part of his favorite song. Believe me he have memorised it like it was a special thing in his life.
"Oh, the outfits. Girls must be in purple and boys must be in blue" he said as I quickly removed the blue t_shirt that was already covering my huge chest and started putting on the purple one instead. By the time I finished dressing up Lucas was already outside with his clothes in his arms and the old man was doing some paperwork.
"Time management young lady" he said without removing his eyes from the papers. When he was done he stood up and continued walking this time to the eight story building that might be the academy building and we took that as our cue to follow him.
"Inside the academy, level one is for practical classes, level two for theoretical classes, level three is for library and all the equipments you'll need for studying ranging from pens to swords,level fours houses the dining room, level five has all the boy's rooms, level six has all the girl's rooms, level seven is for administration and you are not allowed to step in level eight, and there is definitely no need to know what's up there." He said as cold as earlier.
Oh, level six my new home. It's fine I never had a home, I just feel sorry for the kids that had loving and caring parents and have to face this s**t.
Before I knew it he was leaving and as I was about to relax he turned around and said the words I really hope the last ones today. " you are not allowed to be in someone's room as long as you spend thirty minutes or less. Oh, and my name is smith and if you need me you could find me in level seven, the rest of the briefing will be done by your fellows, they are welcoming" he said said the last part with a hint of amusement.
"I don't like this place" Lucas said as soon as Smith was out of ear shot.
"You don't have to" I said as I took a step after another where every step took me near to the doors that looked like they held my death.
"As we entered the doors still wondering where to go next, a girl hooked her arms around my neck and tagged me along, taking the left side of the house as I turned to check on Lucas I saw a boy holding him much like this girl was holding me the difference was they took the right side of the house. Great we might not be able to meet for quite some time judging from the fact that we don't even know the place.
"Hi, I'm Mia.It's nice meeting you" she said extending her hand for a shake which I hesitantly took.
"I'm going to show you around. Smith probably told you that we aren't allowed to have s*x but we have ways around that" she gave me a wink and a generous smile that made me feel welcome, this girl is friendly.
Seriously, is this the first thing you tell someone, well after your name.
"That will be my description of you" I said with a short giggle " Mia the girl who has ways around having s*x in Garza" I said a little bit louder.
" shut the f**k up or I'll be hanged upside down tonight"
"Wow I would like the view of that" I just wanted to loosen up a bit.
"Believe me I Can kill you and remove all evidences. I'm an expert in that" she said sending me glares that made me laugh.
"The people here are really welcoming" I said between laughter.
" Oh, Smith fed you the Bullshit too" she said before laughing making me confused beyond words.
" you don't really know what he meant by welcoming" she said laughing even more than before.
"What do you mean by that" I curiously asked
" well I'll feel you in let me show you to your room." She said taking the lead.
"I'm all ears" I said as I followed her.
"Well guys here are good at bullying..."
That's all was needed to send my heart to beating infinity time person second. My heart as well as my head became a pumping mess. s**t.
