Merchriston Castle Boarding School For Boys

For the next few months, Sheldon was a mess. His parents noticed the change in him and shouted him into the kitchen one day. His mum was there too. There was a brown envelope on the table "Son." He said. "We've noticed a big change in you and we think it's best if you get away from here for a while. In that envelope, is you acceptance letter for Merchriston Castle boarding school for boys. It's quite far way, in Edinburgh but it'll do you a world of good. And you'll love it. There's a 100 acers of park land." Just what he needed another problem in his life, that and he couldn't watch Doctor Who there. Who was his dad kidding. He would hate it.

Finally the day came. He'd packed his stuff and his dad was lifting it into the back of their car. This is gonna be hell, he thought. Thanks dad for ruining my life even more. His mum kissed him and waved them off.

Sheldon already had his uniform on. It was a pair of smart trousers and shoes. A smart shirt, tie and blue jacket. He hated it then but what he didn't know, was after a few years there, he'd love wearing suits.

The journey was long and boring but Sheldon didn't want it to end. But unfortunately it did. The school was big and trees surrounded it. There was a smart looking man waiting for him outside when his dad pulled up. "Be good son. Goodbye." His dad said after pulling his trunk out of the car. Sheldon watched his dad drive off and felt alone. Completely alone. The smart looking man introduced himself as Mr Green. The headmaster of the school. "Well Mr Robinson, welcome to my school. I hope you enjoy your time here. You'll be shearing with four other boys your age. Here's your room key and address. His room number was 4 on the third floor. He looked at his school map and thought. Welcome to hell.
