Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Ughhh...five more minutes." You moaned, waving your hand aimlessly in the air. The beeping stopped, followed by your roommate getting out of bed. That's right! You sat up straight, the brown haired woman gathering her clothes. You had a roommate.

"Good morning, _."

"Morning." You smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry to start the day so early but it'll take a long time to cover all the grounds. I'm going to go shower now, feel free to change and meet me downstairs after breakfast." She smiled, clicking the door behind her.

A brand new day. You couldn't hold in the excitement any longer. What sort of people would you meet? You hadn't received your uniform yet so had to debate between a nice skirt and jeans. Jeans, definitely. You pulled a long sleeve shirt over your head, then your shoes, practically running down the stairs for breakfast. Eliza was at the entrance.

"Oh, _. You have more time. You can still brush your hair..."

Crap. The thought completely slipped your mind. You felt your cheeks redden. Today was going to be interesting.

"Ready?"

You nodded as she led you towards the main building.

"It's huge..."

She giggled. Crap, you hadn't actually meant to say that out loud.

"Yeah it is, but after your first couple of weeks you'll laugh at your past self for every wondering if you'd get lost."

Eliza was such a nice, honest girl. You admired that quality. The main doors opened, revealing a bustling hallway. Was this real? It mirrored a slightly laid back version of Ouran Academy.

"This is the Main Hall. Nearly all your classes will be on this first level. We don't have lockers so you'll have to tote your books. There's a second floor consisting of the Headmaster's Office, Infirmary and a few club rooms."

You tried to keep up with her pace in speech and walk, whizzing past students loitering. School hadn't started yet so what were they doing here? Is there nothing better to do? You wondered whether this school had bullies or rebels. It didn't seem likely.

"Yo Elizaveta!"

You both turned toward the source, a man in jeans and a Captain America tee-shirt.

"Hello Alfred."

He drew closer revealing a kind face framed by brown glasses.

"Who's your friend?"

"This is _, she's new."

"Really? Awesome!" He grinned.

"I'm showing her the grounds before the new term."

"Smart. Hey, if you don't mind I could show her." He grinned.

You jumped slightly, looking away.

"You don't mind?"

"Of course not! Nothing going on right now so why not?"

Eliza turned towards you, silently asking your opinion.

"I-I don't mind."

"Really? Okay. See you tonight!" She called, running off.

What did I get myself into? You were alone with a man you've only known for a minute. A tall, smiling stranger.

"Hey dudette, name's Alfred." He thrust out his hand.

"..._." You slowly shook his hand, clearly not feeling the same level of enthusiasm.
