Ty's POV (yes I'm still doing this)
I ran up the drive, hoping they wouldn't notice how late I was. Not just for class, but the school year. In a month it'd be Christmas, and I just started school. No doubt everyone already knew everybody, and it didn't help that this was a boarding school.
At this point I'm just confused. My parents send me to this boarding school, that's the size of Hogwarts, and has all these programs for gifted students.
I mean I'm on track team, but I wouldn't say I'm gifted.
To prove my point, of how average I am, I end up getting there as everyone's going to class. I make my way through the front door, and to the office, where she gives me a schedule, a map, and a room number.
"You don't have to go to period one, your roommate will show you around, because the map doesn't help much" the secretary smiled. I nodded, and waved to her as I walked out the door, and to the dorms. Well at least where the signs on the walls say they are. I spend the next five minutes locating my room. Nice going Ty.
I found my room, and knocked on the door, which was answered almost instantly.
"Hi! Nice to meet you I'm Martin, but please call me Bodil!" He cheered rather quickly. He had a dark gray vest, and oddly enough a pair of sunglasses. He had a white shirt underneath, with a collar that stood up, and was striped orange and yellow, a beanie was placed snugly on his head, leaving his brown hair to spill out messily. His shoes were a pair of bright orange sneakers, with a rather dorky sticker of tnt on them. I just nodded, overwhelmed by his excitement, and enthusiasm. God he was hyper.
"I'm Ty." I said, once I was absolutely sure he was done rambling.
"Nice to meet you!" He repeated, and moved out of the doorway, to reveal a small but nice room, with two beds. One was neat, and organized. Orange and yellow blankets and sheets perfectly tucked into the frame. The pillows stacked in a small pyramid of three, and fluffed up. I gaped at how tidy it was.
The other bed was empty, just a white pillow, and white sheets sitting there.
"I take it the one with the white sheets is mine?" I asked, pointing to it. He nodded.
"We can get some colorful sheets, and pillowcases later. For now I only have this." Bodil apologized.
"Ok, sounds good." I said.
"So, let's start with this tour shall we!" He said brightly, letting me put my stuff down, then almost dashing out the door in excitement. I followed him as he slid down the rail of some stairs. I just dashed down them tying to keep up, but he was so hyper, and excited he beat me by a minute. Once I was there he slowed down, but still walked rather quickly to two large doors. He looked over his shoulder at me, grinning like an idiot. "My favourite place in the entire school" he said, and opened the door. It was as tall as the building, and looked dangerous yet fun. Platforms suspended over tall trampolines, like the ones in the circus. Little islands floating, and fence posts doing the same. Floating pillars with ladders spiraling around it, or vines you had to grab onto.
Several kids were trying and failing miserably. Like one guy with glasses, and a monochromatic hoodie, who was screaming as he fell onto the trampoline, being bounced up again to his friends height. His friend was keeled over laughing, and I saw why. It was a rather easy jump, only two feet away.
"Cmon Ty!" I heard Bodil yell. I looked up, and found him sitting on a swinging platform suspended to the roof. He just happily swung his legs as it tilted at dangerous angles. I cringed, and quickly found the ladder he had climbed. After I finally reached the top, I looked at the first jump, and saw the two guys from earlier looking at me and smiling, as apparently the guy who fell had gotten back up already.
I gingerly took the first jump, then the second. I was getting confident, until I heard a higher pitched scream.
"Bodil no! Cmon dude, we're friends!" A guy in a gray and red checkered hoodie, and a white undershirt begged. "Think of the glasses!" He screamed, kneeling. I saw another guy a few jumps away, keeled over laughing, his pink hair messy, and unkempt. Bodil laughed, an odd, and annoying, yet amusing laugh, before swiping the guys glasses, and pushing him off.
As he bounced back up, he stayed in mid air long enough to yell at Bodil.
"I hate you!" He screamed, as gravity took over, and dropped him back to the trampoline. The guy with pink hair laughed again.
"Nice one!" He said before jumping off his platform to go join his friend. I continued with the jumps, Bodil ahead of me, but also waiting.
"I think I- ah shit!" I was cut off by someone pushing me off the platform. As I was bounced back up, I looked at him, and it was the guy from before who fell. As I passed him I flipped him off, and scowled. Bodil jumped down, just as I stopped bouncing, and almost landed on me, missing me by mere centimeters. He just laughed at me, and helped me off.
"I think we should continue on now" he said, walking out of the door.
