I just arrived. The school looks actually so cool. This will be my home for the whole school year. Aunt Nikki stands at the front doors, awaiting me. She stands with her arms out. I walk to her and give her a hug. It's been a while since I've last seen her. She's been doing all this then. Wow.

I'm officially impressed.

"Karl! It's so good to see you!" She lets go of me, guiding us to the inside. From the outside it almost looks like a prison, in a way. I stand there stunned when we reach the inside.

There's beautiful paintings on the wall, along with sculptures of different people. There's a few plants along the halls and windows. The walls are painted a light green, that matches the swirl on my hoodie. Wow. This should be fun. New school, and everyone's new anyway.

"I'll show you to your dorm. You're the first one here, everyone else should be coming tomorrow." Aunt Nikki leads me up a flight of stairs. We take a right then a left then up two more flights of stairs then to a door that's marked with 'dorms'. I memorize things easily, so this shall be easy.

She leads me to room 365. It's on the next floor on the left. Got it, one more flight of stairs. She hands me my class schedule and a card for lunch.

She smiles at me. "Make yourself at home, and don't forget to explore. Memorize everything and where your classes are so you have that advantage." She winks and walks off.

"Thanks Nikki!!" I call out waving. Then I scurry into my new dorm room.

It's pretty big. Two beds, one for me and one for my new roommate who I'll meet when he gets here, tomorrow.  There's a big desk between the beds, a chair on either side. A bathroom connected to the room, which is pretty big itself. I take out my bag of nail polish, and start sorting them into the night stand that sits on the other side of my bed. I set a small mirror on the edge of it.

I place my laptop on my side of the table placing notebooks and sketch pads, I also packed, next to it. I placed my pencils, color pencils, pens, and markers along side of it. Yeah, forgot to mention about my drawing habits. I get really distracted and stuff, and I like to doodle and draw anything that comes to mind when my brain gets distracted.

Music also helps. Always have ear buds on me. Hate air pods. Anyway they don't connect to my phone. Weird, I know.

I open up the closet that's by my bed. There's one by the other bed too. Cool. I grab hangers that are in the closet and start hanging my shirts and hoodies. I then put my skirts and pants in drawers in the dresser that's also next to my bed.

I grab my diary and put it under my mattress. Don't want anybody seeing it. I throw bear and my frog plushie onto my bed. I dump out all my blankets and pillows onto my bed. I get really cold at night, don't judge me.

After I take everything out of my bags, I take a look at my schedule. Math first hour, science second hour, global studies third hour, Spanish fourth hour, lunch, pe fifth hour, and drawing I sixth hour. Apparently there's six classes a day for one or two terms then we have different classes the next. Thank honk I have a drawing class.

Well, I'll go see where my classes are. Oh! I could make a map of the school! I run and grab my sketch pad and some colored pens. I start sketching out the way to the dorms, to my dorm specifically. Once I finished that, I label it, 'to my dorm, room 365'. I then flip to a new page and start walking.

I keep my schedule out so I can see what room numbers the classes are. I find my math room, and sketch out where it is from my dorm. Room, 1,345. Cool. I then look for my science room, which surprisingly, is right next door. Room 1,346. I sketch that in too. Next is global studies. Room 1,202. Backwards. Fun. Spanish is in room 1,000. The lunch room is easy to find, hence arrows.

Then it's pe. Honk, I hate that class. Not to worry though, there's arrows for the gym too. Then my final class, drawing I. Room 1,001. Right next to Spanish! Hopefully this school year will be good.

I know I won't make friends, I won't have enough strength to make me exactly trust them. Anyone. Not even my roommate, that's for sure. I finish my drawing of my classes, then start on just making the layout of the school. Found every class. Which there's a lot of classes. Honk! How is there so many??

I finally head back to my dorm, exhaustion taking over me. My phone buzzes and I open it.

There's food ready in the cafeteria, if you're hungry! It's eight o'clock, and this is normal time we'll eat dinner <3

Me
Yeah, I'll come down, this place is HUGE!!

I put my phone in my hoodie pocket and go down to the cafeteria. School will start next week, and tomorrow is when everyone is coming. Long week. Honk.
