Collage of Sins and Saints

Chapter 1: An Unforgettable Night

I am not an athlete by any measure.

I am not the fittest guy in the world even though I'm a skinny guy.

So as you can imagine, running is not something I do very often. Nor do I have the stamina to run long distances for long periods of time.

You can imagine the torture I'm going through right this instant, as I run through the collage campus.

Why am I running? That's because for some reason another student has become murderously angry with me. Why are they angry with me? For that let me start a little bit before this event.

My name is Zack. Age 20 and an average looking guy.

This is my story at Trivium Collage.

***

The road was bare and completely empty of any traffic. This Collage I had been accepted to was somewhere out of the city. It wasn't far from the city but the scenery around me changed quickly making it seem that way.

One moment there a large concert buildings and then instantly trees. From what the maps all say the collage actually owns lots of land and is labelled as a national park as well.

As you can guess this collage has lots of money and therefor costs a small fortune. The only reason I got in was because of an exchange program.

As I came around a long bend I saw the collage and it definitely lived up to its rep. It looked like a castle, as if I was going to Hogwarts or something.

I followed the signs leading me to the student parking. There was a turn off from the main road that lid down to the collage. As I drove I looked around me at all the vegetation. There were no other buildings anywhere. It was a beautiful site as the forest seemed to by plucked right out of a fairy tale like some sort of Elven forest.

The castle like buildings of the collage got larger the closer I got. I saw the parking lot and quickly found a park. Turning in I made sure not to hit any other cars along the way as I parked the car and put on the hand break.

I closed the car door behind me as I exited the driver's seat and looked up at my new home. I had finally arrived at Trivium Collage.

The parking lot was in front of a large grass area with a few benches scattered around along with students. Just looking around I could already make out the various clicks that had formed between groups of people. As the song goes, High school never ends.

I went to the back seat and grabbed my backpack. I Pulled out a map out of my pocket and a piece of paper with my room number on it. I moved over the boot of my car and opened it up. Inside were various objects, ranging from cooking utensils to toiletries, entertainment devices to academic materials.

I was going to need to make several trips down to get all my luggage so, I decided to start with the suitcase of my cloths. Closing the boot behind me, I started to walk onto campus. I could see that other students had already arrived and were in the middle of moving in as well.

The collage had signs pointing out directions to different classrooms and labs as well as the dorms. Following those and the map in my hand I managed to find my way around. The rooms were on the edge of the main campus and seemed to make up a small village.

I finally found my building and my room. I was up on the second floor, room number 266. Using the key card I had received in the mail a few weeks before, I entered my new living space.

The door automatically slammed shut behind me and I could hear the electronic lock activate. The room was a lot bigger then I thought and was more like a hotel suite. Walking in was the living room where there was a TV hanging on the wall with a sofa across from it. Directly opposite the door was the kitchen that had all the basic equipment.
