I knocked on the door hesitantly, not knowing who to expect. I f this school was for so called “supernaturals” would these guys look different from other guys? Would they have like wings or something.
A guy about my age opened the door. He had brown hair that flopped over one eye.
“Mr.Jezzamine, this is your new roommate, Jesse. Please introduce him to the other two and you will all take turns helping him find his way to classes for the first while” the Headmaster said, then melted into the shadows.
“Hey Jesse, I’m Aaron. Welcome to room 211.” The boy told me
I followed him into the room, and looked around. These guys had a very expensive taste. There was two black leather couches on the right-hand wall, and on the left wall there was a huge flat screen TV. There was a cherry stained coffee table in front of the couches, and the walls were painted a light brown, with black trim. Along the back wall there were two doors, into bedrooms I assumed, and there was another door close to the TV. A bathroom maybe? A kitchen? I also noticed there was no dirt anywhere. No clothes anywhere, and every surface was spotlessly clean.
“Guys, new roomie!” Aaron called
2 guys walked out of one of the bedroom doors. They were both very well dressed (as was Aaron) and I felt uncomfortably casual.
“Hey, I’m Erik”
“And I’m Ryan” the 2 boys introduced themselves.
Erik was one of those guys who is naturally good looking. He didn’t appear to have styled his hair particularly or anything, he was just a little scary looking. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes, and he wore dark clothes. He looked powerful and like someone who was known throughout the school as the ‘bad boy.’ Ryan was ruggedly handsome and he has sandy blonde hair, and looked very muscular. He was probably Erik’s sidekick.
“So you will share a room with me” Ryan informed me. “The headmaster chooses our rooms, not us.” he said in reply to my questioning look. “Here I’ll show you your half, and you can unpack”
“Thanks” I mumbled
I followed Ryan into an extremely large room. There was 2 twin beds on either side of the room. One side was full of stuff (although everything was put away neatly, and the bed was made) and the other side had my suitcase, camera bag and woodworking kit in a heap on the floor. Ryan showed me my armoire, closet and desk, his side mirroring mine.
“This is a huge room!” I exclaimed
“Yeah, we got the fanciest suite available” Ryan declared, “this used to be an old hotel you know”
“Really? I didn’t know that” I replied.
“Ok Jesse, we’re pretty easy-going, but we do have a few room rules. If one of us brings a girl home, the other roommate has to set up a cot in the living room, or sleep on the couch. Secondly there will be no mess. In this Academy we get points for a neat room, and we use those points to get stuff for our room.”
‘Hence the super fancy room’ I thought
“So beds are made every morning and everything is always put away neatly. No food or wrappers and stuff on the floor, and no food outside of the kitchen. Sounds good?” Ryan asked
“Sure” I replied
“Okay, I’ll leave you to unpack now” Ryan said as he left the room
I started pulling my clothes out of my suitcase and hanging them in the closet, organizing them firstly by type of clothing, then by colour. When Ryan was telling me about neatness, I was jumping for joy on the inside. I have mild OCD, so I’m really picky about neatness.
After my suitcase was empty I put it under my bed. Then I grabbed the bed sheets that were folded on my bed and made my bed. Next I hung some photos on the wall, and a few posters as well (all evenly spaced of course). Finally I put all my toiletries in Ryan and I’s bathroom.
I walked into the living room after changing into some slightly dressier clothing. I found the other three guys watching TV, and lounging on the couch.
“Hey Jesse” Aaron said
“Hey guys, watcha watchin’” I asked
“Meh, some sort of stupid show about scientists” Erik replied.
“So, we never asked before, but what kind of supe are you? We assumed you were some sort of shifter, ‘cause you are in our room, but what are you actually?” Aaron asked
“Ummm soup? I’m not soup” I said confused.
“No, you idiot, supe, S-U-P-E. Short for supernatural. You know, what are you? Wizard, Were, Vamp or Shifter?” Erik said, as if explaining to a child.
“Uh, I didn’t know I was one…” I trailed off uncertainly
“Well, you most certainly are. You smell like one.” Ryan said
“Oh...umm…ok, well I don’t know what I am then” I replied “What are you guys”
