It had been a week since my little outburst, though it needed to be said, I was mad at my father, though I point blank said he didn't deserve that title.
I had also been ignoring him whole heartedly, I even chose to leave each day to Nico's before he could come home to give me a lecture about respect, regardless of if I overstepped what was appropriate.
Pushing aside my bitter thoughts I focused on where I was going, walking through the halls of Thornbrook was even familiar after a week, which might seem odd but it wasn't that hard to know where I was call it my ability to remember things, such as directions really easily.
As I got into the main hall I spotted Nico walking through the hallway a book under his arm.
It was odd how we all went from being the top of our school in Switzerland now our names were all that kept us from being in trouble on a daily basis though with my current attitude towards the world there was a slim to fucking none chance that I didn't punch someone by the end of the month.
"Nico" I call down the hallway and Nico's eyes instantly connect with mine.
"Adrian" he replies meeting me at the stairway to the fourth floor which was also where a unused library entrance was.
"Where are you headed?" I ask swiftly climbing the stairs and making my way to the enormous library this school had.
"I think the same place as you" Nico says as I turn down a hallway and push open the wooden door to the library which was likely the only think that kept its design though everything looked brand new with plaques labelling where every book category was.
"It seems like that" I mutter looking down over the railing at the freshmen who were being a nuisance.
Yes I know I am one.
Getting to the back corner I checked that no one could see us though Nico did seem confused as to why I was back here.
"Why are we in the encyclopedia section Adrian?" he asks furrowing his eyebrows at me.
"It's called demonstration Harrington" I say going up four shelves and two in to a book with the Dewey Decimal number two-thirty-nine, and pulling which made the whole case swivel open and stop revealing a short hallway into a room.
"How did you..." he starts before I could see him come to an answer, "the year the school was founded".
"Nineteen-twelve, also these are outdated one's and no one even reads encyclopedia's for fun so why the hell would one even come back here" I muse walking inside and seeing a couch along with a bookcase to the right of the room with fireplace in the middle, along with a kitchen area underneath what looked like a second floor with a veranda hallway along with four rooms.
"What the hell is this place?".
"A secret room, I actually think this place has been abandoned for at least a decade".
"It smells like it was just used, and it's clean" Nico remarks and I point to a candle in the middle of the old counter. "You came here before, of course you have".
"The boys can know but I'd like to renovate this area of the school".
"When, and how" Nico asks.
"Say that we need to do some things for a project then when no one is around we bring stuff in to renovate the room for us" I say, "I'll just class it as last minute renovation, then all of us can bring in what we want, I'll even fit everything".
"Remember the last time we tried that".
"Yeah writing an apology was fun" I say bitterly.
"Does the school know this room exists?" Nico prys looking at me, as I sit down on the old leather couch.
