Beyond Small (Book 1)

Balcony

Steve's POV:

"Why is this day so long?" I said yawning. Mr. Smith had made us wonder around each and every room and check the details.

"Darn it" I mumbled. Nothing seems much boring than this after having a trip. It's making me more sleepy.

"So this is it for today. We have 12 maids in total. They will provide you your room keys, dinner, breakfast and lunch too. Your bag packs will be at your room along with dinner." Mr. Smith himself said in a sleepy tone.

"At last" I said and went to get my keys. "Lyra room no. 6" one of the maid dressed black and white like in the movies called our names.

"Steve room no. 8" I hurried and went towards my room without waiting for no. 9. I opened my room. The door looked small but the room was huge enough inside.

I found my belongings and pushed it inside a cupboard. The dinner was served. It was DUMPLINGS!! with some sort of sauce which looked disgusting.

My stomach was rumbling so I eat the dumplings. As I was about to sleep I found a door with two windows on top. When I opened I found that it had a balcony which was surprisingly attached to room no. 9 I guess.

Suddenly what came to my mind I gazed through the window and found that the room was empty. I sneaked through the door as if I was a spy but I looked more like a thief.

My lips were about to move and say: Is anyone here? When a girl came from the bathroom, towel on her face my mouth fell wide open.

She had wore long ,blue ,sleeveless T-shirt. She moved her towel away from her face and rubbed her hair. "Oh my god !!!!" I screamed.

"What the hell are you doing in my room?" Bloom shouted loud. "Ah..... I am..... well I was......" as I found hard to explain I ran off her room and opened to the balcony.

I was so shocked and angry at myself. After a while Bloom joined me. "So.... it happens we have attached balcony." I looked at her, she was in the same T-shirt with jeans.

Just the thought made me angry at myself. "I am sorry for what just happened...... The door was open so....."

"Did you taste the sauce?" Bloom interrupted leaving that awkward memory. "It just tastes awful and who in the world would serve just a bunch of dumplings and some stupid sauce as dinner"she said.

"I just ate the dumplings, just the look of that pale yellow sauce made me sick." I replied in a rush.

"We might find a secret garden or maybe a beautiful lake out there." Bloom said gazing at the deep dark forest ahead.

"Yeah!" I couldn't help yawning. "I'm so tired, I think I will end it with a good night" I said and waved at her.

"Good night" she smiled. I went towards my bed and sunk my head in the pillow.
