The sleepers

Chapter 4: all aboard

Lizzys room above
Folding up my art work and slipping it in to my folder, I stare at the empty walls. In the olden days classes were filled with personality, there had been artwork and mottos. The walls at the institute were bland except for a white board, apparently it had been proven distracting. Shrugging off the wistful feeling I whistle as I walk out of class. I sling my bag over my shoulder and make for the elevator. I press the button for the elevator as the majority of the class file past me, onto the stairs.
I furrow my eyebrows at them, I never got why people would bother to take stairs, it always seemed to much work on my behalf.

I stare at the lit up arrow trying to use the force to make the elevator hurry up, NOW my mind screams.... The elevator stays still, I try again..NOW, once again, nothing, again I try NOW..The elevator doors open silently, and I smile.
Nailed it. I should probably try a career as a Jedi.

I walk in onto the cold floor and I press for the 6th floor. It doesn't take long for the elevator to reach my floor, and the doors open quietly. As I step out I can hear the chatter of the students who took the stairs around about a floor down and I silently laugh at the fact that I was faster than them, then groan aloud when I realise that I have to walk down the hallway to room 149.
I finally reach my room after minutes of grumbling how unfair it was for those of us who lived far down the hallway.

I jumble through my pockets and close my hand around my keys, I slide the right key into the lock and turn the polished handle. Closing the door behind me I make my way to the minibar, and snatch a pack of chocolate covered pretzels. Popping a pretzel in my mouth, I lean over the bench looking through the candy in my minibar.

"Really v'ou should take the stairs"
Startled, I quickly spin on the balls of my foot and give a hard kick to the stomach of my intruder.
"Shiza!" He shouts and I bite my lip guiltily, realising that it wasn't an intruder, but Felix.
"Ahhhhhhh.....crap sorry Fe" I smile guiltily
"V'ou know fvor somevone so bloody lazy v'oud think they be bad at kicking"  he grumbles hugging his side
I poke my tongue out at him "Well you know what they say, don't judge a book by its cover"
"Ha"  silence fill the room as he pulls up the corner of his top checking for brusing
"Sooooooo...whacha doing here Fe?"
He drops the corner of his top an looks at me "Vwell first I came because its stim night but zen I see you have a message, And I see its za invite to the outside so I reply for you saying v'ou want to bring me!"
I plop myself down on the bean bag "Firstly how the hell did you get in here?"
"Lock picking classes"
" oh right" I frown "the institute needs to get some proper classes"
He nods "yeah but I kind of like zem"
"Secondly I am totally not impressed that you unrighteously sent that email"
He pretends to pout "but I thought v'ou would choose me anyway"
"I could have chosen millice, or Zach, hell I may have chosen chaerin"
He waves his hand undeterred "Well your taking me!"
I laugh
My holographical pings at me .

The Institute

Reading over my shoulder, Felix smirks at me "ha it says please be prompt"
"Hey! I can be on time"
Felix stares at me for about three seconds before laughing so hard he has to sit down
"that's golden, because it seems" he checks his watch "that we are now 10 minutes late for stim night."
I curse "just a sec I'll go get dressed."
I rush out of the mini kitchen and enter my bedroom. It's simple enough, with a double bed, a beside table and newspapers with headings saying "the apocalypse?" And "world runs out of breath" framed and hanging off the walls.
Opening my draws I pull out a simple, grey sweater on it printed a sloth. After pulling it over my head, I pull out another draw, this one full of pants. After staring at the draw for a while I close my eyes and grab a random pair, I seemed to have pulled out some light denim jeans, shrugging I slide into them. After a quick look over my outfit and deeming myself decent I grab a scarf and swing open the door.
Felix is sitting down reading a blue book that looks to be written in German and is eating my pretzels, I snatch the pretzels off him and pop one into my mouth "ich bin bereit" (a/n: German for "I'm ready" ..btw I'm so sorry if I am wrong, I'm using google translate 😬)
he smiles up at me "awesome let's go.....Fräulein Pünktlichkeit" (a/n: German for "miss punctuality") he laughs opening the door for me.
