Ep. 1: New School, Old Roommate

"Michael please! Please, please come back to me! Don't let him take you!"
"Foolish! He's mine and you know it! Your never gonna see your little loved one again!"
"Michael. These are my last words before you go, remember my name, Mitchell, and know that I love you to the bottom of my heart, our souls will always be connected. Goodbye."

I woke up from the beeping of my alarm clock on my phone. Today was the first day of my new boarding school. I wasn't so hyped about it today. I was excited at first, but then I realized that I would be alone for three years. I had no best friends, just family. Just my two little sisters, Rayna and Mari. They aren't that bad to hang out with it's just that they're younger than me, they don't know what I'm dealing with in my teenage years. They're only five. I was still sitting on my bed when I realized I wasted ten minutes. I jumped up off my bed quickly and made my bed. My parents were always on my back for keeping things organized.

I walked to the kitchen to get my breakfast. It was still dark, since it was only 4:46 AM. I had to wake up early because I had to ride my bike to school which was 4 miles away, plus I have to bring all my belongings since my family was moving to Mexico.

It was 5:00. Class starts at 2:00 PM. The school was expecting me there at 8:00. I have to get packed by 9:30. I'm very precise about time, and everything is turning out as well as planned. I turned on my headphones and played punk rock music. Music was the only thing that kept me from going insane. Once the music started I was off. My parents knew I left, they even left all my stuff packed in my suitcase next to the door. I was gonna be alone. And whoever is gonna be my roommate is probably gonna hang out with his other friends and barely talk to me. That was the whole process with me and new people. All they do is say hi and talked to you only when they have no one else to talk to. They always hang out with their life long best friends. Me, I never made a life long best friend, I met a few friends here and there but they've moved on. I always move from place to pace, leaving my friends behind, forgetting the memories I've had with them. For good.

After the long bike trip I've finally made it all the way to the top of the hill where my boarding school is. I was so tired, my thighs were burning from pedaling so much. I looked around, no bikes, no cars, no buses, no families hugging their children goodbye, no siblings crying over they're big brother or sisters leaving for three years. I was early. The sunrise was only beginning to show up. The school was so big. There was one big building where all the students would be living in, but it was separated. One side was for boys, one side was for girls. Me and my mom read about this school and how this school was better than middle schools and high school anywhere in America. But, I've always wanted to go to the schools in Tokyo, I've studied Japanese and learned how the schools there worked. I thought I was able to go there since I would make friends there with all my animation and manga skills but my mother refused. She said that it would be a waste of my learnings here in America. I believed her. I set my bike in the garage behind the dorms and locked it on the rails. I carried my stuff to the door of the dorms but once I tried opening it, it was locked. I groaned. One of my biggest pet peeves was locked doors. They were just so frustrating. I sat in front of the door. I checked my phone to see what time it was. 7:26. All I have to do is wait for 8:00. That's when they'll open the doors. But I didn't want to see all the other students with their families.

The dorms were now opening. I was the first to walk in with all my luggage. The lobby looked so beautiful! There was a woman at the front table, behind her was a ton of keys with room numbers on them.

"Um, hello," I say shyly.

"Hello! My name's Kirstin! I'm a student here in training. I just wanted to help out the school."

"Oh, well this school does look like it needs all the help it can." I say looking around at the big, beautiful lobby.

She chuckled. "Your brand new to this school aren't you?" She asked.
