Niall helped me move my boxes to the living room and empty all my clothes from my suitcase. Soon after this, I realised how little furniture I had in my apartment.
Except for a bed, a few basic tables and chairs, the basic house accents and kitchen equipment, I really didn’t have much whatsoever.
If I had known that my accommodation would have been anything close to this, I would have packed all the furniture in my house and brought it along with me.
All my thoughts about furniture were apparently blatant to Niall and he asked
“We need to take you furniture shopping don’t we?”
The two of us giggled.
“Yeah I guess I could do with a few decent house things.”
The only slight issue was the fact that I wasn’t as rich as them and I didn’t have a million pounds on my credit card at the moment.
“So, how about that tour then?” Niall changed the subject fast.
I gave him a simple smile and nod after grabbing a cardigan from my wardrobe.
We stepped into the elevator and made our way outside.

“So that’s the end of our tour I guess,” Niall gestured his hands towards the entire campus.
After we had left the apartment, he had shown me the church like building I had spotted earlier. As a matter of fact, it ended up being the campus Assembly hall. Every Tuesday, we would have an assembly in there and the occasional subject lectures.
Then, Niall showed me the extracurricular facilities such as the gyms, the performance area, and the practise rooms for music, the campus recording studio, and other places for extracurricular activities. It was lovely how they would be at access for me when I wished to use them after school.
We also visited the dining area, which definitely took me by surprise when I found out how it was all arranged. The campus dining area was like an outdoor terrace, it was beautiful. They had placed vintage tables around the wooden floored area and there were all kinds of alluring plants and trees.
Greystone Academy had 11, seventeen storey high apartment blocks each with 17 massive apartments inside. Some of the other students decided to share apartments with each other so it worked out pretty well.
“So, what do you think then?” Niall asked me, as we walked towards the Assembly Hall.
“Impressive, I love it here,” I smiled.
“Well great, we have the welcoming assembly now, so I guess I’ll see you later?”
“Aren’t you coming in?” I asked
“Nah, I’m going to ditch it, they get boring anyway,” he replied, grinning.
“Oh, well I’ll see you around, thanks again for everything.”
“My pleasure baby,” He waved me goodbye and turned on his heel. It felt odd hearing him call me names like babe or baby, was that the norm around here?
****
Niall was absolutely right when he said these things were boring. It had to have been over half an hour and the headmaster, he introduced himself as Mr Saville, was still explaining the expectations. The assembly was also really abnormal because there were only three people there, including myself.
How hard would it be to sneak out of here…
I was sat right at the front, so I’m guessing my chances of being able to leave unnoticed were zero.
