as the car pulled into the driveway of the big mansion, the boy looked out the window, astonished at the sight.

the driver smiled at the boy through the rearview window.

"wow," the boy said to himself, "this is nice, this is really really nice."

"right?" the driver said, smiling at the boy.

"i'm so excited. i feel like my face is about to fall off cause i'm smiling so much." the boy exclaimed, making a bunch of hand gestures.

the driver chuckled quietly.

"i feel like i'm dreaming. can't believe i'm going to be staying here.." the boy said again.

finally the car came to a halt.

the boy smiled tremendously, bouncing his legs up and down rapidly.

the driver opened the door for the boy quickly after that.

when the boy stepped out, he continued to stare at the home.

"mr. whannell?" the driver spoke.

"sir?" he turned around quickly.

"your bags?"

"of course, sir." the boy told nervously, grabbing his things.

"i shall be on my way then." the driver said, waving goodbye to the boy.

"goodbye sir!" the boy said to him.

then the boy quickly ran up to the stairs of the house.

as he walked up, he could feel his stomach twisting and turning nervously.

when he reached the door, he took a while to ring the doorbell.

but before he could, the door had already opened.

"mr. whannell! how lovely it is to see you!" the man said.

"mr. montgomery! wow you look..great! in shape if i do say so myself!" the boy said nervously.

"right, of course. well come on in! take your shoes off inside please as well."

"of course, mr. montgomery." the boy said taking his shoes off.

"please, it's marshall, sir." mr. montgomery told the boy.

"marshall, sir. i apologize." the boy corrected.

"mr. montgomery was my father, dear boy." marshall continued.

"of course, sir." the boy said.

"your name..it's leigh, isn't it?" marshall asked the boy.

"yes sir, leigh. leigh whannell, sir."

"and that's spelt L.E.I.G.H isn't it?"

"yes sir." leigh nodded.

"ah, right this way leigh." marshall said, walking down the halls.

as leigh followed mr. montgomery, he noticed a woman sitting on the stairs, watching him.

she had golden hair, but that was all he could really notice.

"this is my son ethan. ethan, this is leigh. he'll be staying here for quite a while for his studies." mr. montgomery told his son.

"pleased to meet you." leigh said, shaking ethan's hand.

"pleased to meet you too, i'm sure we'll make great friends." ethan smiled and said.
