The Wammy House Memories

He's coming!

Chapter 11!

Watari had picked Elizabeth up from her Aunt Thora's cottage just before 8pm, he drove her straight to the orphanage. He showed her where she would be staying for the next two days, she would be staying in a student room on the second floor of the building. It was small bedroom with the basic furniture each students would need while they lived at the orphanage, it was cosy but not very homely. 

Elizabeth had hung her clothes up in the wardrobe and put her backpack underneth the bed, it was getting late now. She went to have a quick wash in the student's bathroom and returned to her room, she then got ready for bed. But before she even got a chance to turn the bedroom's light off there was a quite knock at the door, it wasn't long until she heard a familiar voice.

" Elizabeth, are you there?" A asked from the other side of the corridor. " It's A, open up!"

" One moment, I'm not decent!" Elizabeth said.

Elizabeth put her yellow housecoat on and walked towards the door, she then unlocked it. She opened the door wide and smiled at her friend, but he quickly barged passed her. She watched him walk over to the bed, he got onto his hands and knees before he took a brown paper folder from underneath the bed's wooden frame.

" What are you doing?" Elizabeth asked.

" I'm just collecting some of my property, I'll be gone in about two seconds..." A replied before he got into his feet. " We can hangout tomorrow at breakfast, I'm afraid Backup will be there though and the other students of The Wammy House. You won't mind that though, right?"

" I guess not, but I don't want to sit near Backup." Elizabeth replied before she tucked some of her hair behind her ear. " I've not seen him since I delivered a package on the behalf of my Aunt Thora, he was being disgusting and cutting up worms!"

" You're get use to him, just do what I do and pretend he's not there." A smiled.

" Okay, I'll try your method the next time I see him." Elizabeth said.

" Do you mind if I use your bathroom?" A asked while he tucked his folder underneath his arm. " I need to pee, I don't think I'll make it make to my bedroom in time."

" I guess it's okay, go for it." Elizabeth said with a laugh. " Just hurry up, I'm tired and ready for bed."

A disappeared into the bathroom and Elizabeth sat on the edge of the bed, she then yawned loudly. She heard the toilet chain flush in the bathroom, her friend soon emerged from the bathroom with a silly smile on his face.

" Don't go in there until the morning, it's radioactive in there right now!" A chuckled and closed the bathroom's door behind him. " I better get going, I've got to take this file to Watari's office before I crash for the night. My bedroom is just down the corridor though if you need me, I'll most probably be awake until the early hours studying or reading or just staring at the ceiling like I do most night."

" May I ask what's in that folder underneath your arm?" Elizabeth asked.

" My folder?" A asked.

" Yes, I mean what was it doing in this room?" Elizabeth asked, she placed her feet down on the floor." Even more, what's in it?"

" Oh this folder!" A replied before he took the folder from underneath his arm. " It's nothing important, just some newspaper clippings I've collected over the years."

" Just newspaper clippings?" Elizabeth asked.

" Yeah, nothing else in this folder besides newspaper clippings and maybe some study notes for science class." A replied with a smile. " Anyway, I'll come by in the morning and knock on for you with Backup. Remember, breakfast starts at 8:30am and finishes at 9:30am. No oversleeping or you'll have to go without until lunch time, did you get all of that?"
