Red's Academy Life

New faces

Also I'm known for my POV changes. If you've read my other stuff you know that XD

Red's POV

I leave the main lounge and that same hall guide with the same smile says "welcome back. Did you...?" He trails off and looks like he's looking for something, or someone. 'Great. I think I know the deal. It seems that they want both of us to be here to make sure that I actually found a roommate. Like I can get away with a lie as big as that.' I think 'what a weird system. If they wanted to play it safe, why wouldn't they just make it random for everyone.' I think curiously "Then again, I'm sure there are people here an want to room with specific people, like hometown friends.' I reason. 'Damn it what's taking you so long Brendan.' I grumble mentally 'well I may as well try anyway.' I think, shrugging. "Yeah, I found a roommate so I'd like to sign up for a room." I say smiling. "I see! That's excellent!" The guide says "we'll need both of you here in order to fill out the necessary paperwork though." He says frowning slightly. "Right. I'll go get him then." I say 'I knew it.' I think as i walk down the hall.

"UWAAAHHH! HEY! WATCH IT!" a voice yells angrily. "Whuh?" I ask confused. I didn't want the lines to pile up more than they already have. I rushed back toward the lounge before I could get my thoughts together, hoping Brendan would still be in that area. Thanks to that, I nearly trampled someone just now. 'Oh. I actually did trample someone." I think awkwardly "and this one doesn't look like she's in a good mood. Oh joy." I think sarcastically. "What's with that stupid look on your face?" The, now identified as girl, I trampled asks "are you blind or just stupid?!" She asks, pissed off. 'Ouch. Definitely not in a good mood.' I think frowning. "And are you really just going to stand there and stare?! At least admit you weren't paying attention! 'Cause clearly you weren't!" The girl yells "what're you gonna if I got injured of something?!" She asks. 'She's really pouring it on isn't she.' I think. "Are you deaf too? Say something!" She says. "I'm really sorry about that." I say helping her up "I was kinda in a hurry and turned the corner too quickly." I explain "are you okay?" I ask concerned. She simply sighed. 'She still doesn't sound too happy. I apologized already. What does she want me to do get on my knees and beg for forgiveness?' I think. "I'm fine. I'm fine! It's fine! Just try not to run over an more girls on the way to... wherever you're going." She says walking away. She actually has a pretty soothing voice when she talks normally like that. My ears are still buzzing from all that cauterwauling though. I should be thankful she let me off so easy. "Yo!" I hear Brendans voice "I'm really sorry! Did you wait long?" He asks "Let me guess, they need both of us in order to reserve a room?" He asks. "Yep." I say nodding. "I figured. I just wanted to make some plans with May later." He explains. 'May you're killing me here!' I think exasperated. "Anyway... all good now." He says smiling "let's go go go!" He says going to the lobby.

I follow him and unsurprisingly the sign up lines were growing longer and longer by the minute. As first years, we didn't have many choices for room locations. It seems the rooms on the second floor are the most desirable ones considering the upperclassmen have reserved them all already. Brendan didn't have any preferences and so we settled in the first available room we found on the first floor. "Less walkin' and easier to get to." Brendan quickly pointed out as he spun away from the reception desk immediately after we both signed the necessary documents.  "Cool, glad that's over with." Brendan says smiling "May just texted me that she got a roommate match so I wanna check up on her. I'll meet ya at the room later, Red!" He says leaving.

'Uh... now what should I do?' I ask myself 'the guide did say they'll send my stuff up once the room's reserved. I might as well take this time to explore this building before I head over.' I think.

I walk down the hall and look around. "Yep. I'm lost." I say to myself. I've been wandering these hallways for at least 30 minutes and I can't find a single faculty member. I've asked whatever students I bumped into, but their directions made no sense. What does left at the Tranquill Wing's exit and diagonally past the skywalk even mean? I guess I'll just keep trudging alone 'til i find a teacher or a student that can give me some coherent instructions. But man, there aren't many people walking around the hallway. In fact, I don't think I see a single living thing in sight. I close my eyes and weakly put my fist against the wall. 'Typical. My first few hours here and I can't even find my way around my own residence hall.' I think bitterly.

??? POV

"Where is this guy going?" I ask myself. I've been following this guy for 2 hallways now. What, or who's he looking for? I really hope he's not a pervert. It'd be a waste of a perfectly good looking guy "Hey buddy what do you think your doing?" I ask the guy

Red's POV

"WAH!" I yell spinning around and jumping back two feet. Sure enough, there's a strange girl standing in front of me with a puzzled look on her face. 'Strange or not she's cute.' I think 'Is she an upperclassman? But that's impossible, they should all be moved into their forms by now.' I think trying to figure something out. "W-w-who are you? What are you doing here?" I ask confused. She gives me a disapproving look, like I'm the one in the wrong here. Doesn't she know she just nearly made me piss my pants?

Mystery Girl's POV

"I could ask you the same thing. Do you have any idea where you are?" I ask. He looks around and sees the sign that says 'Third Year Women's Dormitory'. I can practically hear the Klinklangs going in his head. I just watch him with an amused look on my face "So you are lost. I started following you a few hallways back 'cause I thought you were some kind of pervert, but you're just another student." I say smirking a little bit "I don't think the brochures that hard to follow. I mean, the design of the dorm's wings are laid out in a grid, so it should be really easy to navigate. Here let me see yours." I say holding out my hand expectantly. Again the klinklangs are churning in his head

Red's POV

I'll ignore that first comment. But brochure? Now that she mentions it, I vaguely remember those students carrying around leaflets from before.

Mystery Girl's POV again

A mischievous grin spreads across my face "Don't tell me. You didn't pick one up. You seriously went all this time without a map? And then you made it all the way here from the main hall?" I ask in disbelief "I have to say, your sense of direction is amazing. Uh, wait, no it's not. It's just hopeless!" I say laughing. 'He maybe on the dumb side but he's not bad looking.' I think.

Red's POV  (last one)

'I have to say, I'm already not a huge fan of this girl's personality.' I think bitterly "yeah, all right. Are you just going to keep laughing or can you help me out of here?" I ask. "Oh, since you asked so nicely, I'll take you up on that offer." She says laughing overdramatically. "You little-!" I start. "Yeah she was totally ditching us to go shop." Another voice says. 'That sounds like another girl. In fact, it sounds like there are multiple girls.' I observe 'judging by how loud their voice are, I'd say they're in the hallway right next to us.' I think. I take a look around for an escape path, but this hallway conveniently ends in a dead end. I'm trapped. There's no where to go. The only thing I can do it stand my ground and beg for forgiveness. This is it. This is where my precious academy life ends, and it hasn't been a day. Goodbye cruel world.
TO BE CONTINUED!

Hehe. If you did play the game you already know what happens next. If you didn't this is quite the cliff hanger no?
