A HUNDRED EYES

0.3

I stealthily opened the door and stepped out of the room only to come face to face with the matron and the new guy. He had a scowl on his face and was shaking his fist in front of the matron's face. His scowl deepened when he sees me.

"What? " he snapped at me.

 "Nothing I just wanted to know if my suitcase has arrived"

"You too? "

"What do you mean? "

"Are you too waiting for your suitcase? "

"Yeah"

"Oh, forget about it, due to rain in some random part of this country our suitcases could not be delivered"

"Seriously" I sighed "I need to get out of these clothes, this suit makes me look like an idiot " to this he chuckles. 

"Oh I'm Elijah by the way"

"Nice to meet you Elijah, I'm Alec"

"I am going to ask the matron if she has an extra pair of clothing"

"Yeah okay"he replied.

I walked down the hallway until I reached the stairs since my room was on the top floor, there were stairs only leading downstairs. When I had climbed down three floors I found a door.

Unlike other doors, which were blue in colour this door was painted green, on moving closer to the door I read the gold coloured plaque on the door, it said 'Leah Falter-Matron East Wing Boys'
I gently knocked on the door hoping that someone would answer.

The door opened and a red-faced matron emerged "What is it? "she asked visibly grinding her teeth.

"Umm... It's nothing I just... " I stammered. But she cut me off. "If it's nothing, then why are you here boy"

"I just.. Wanted to know if you had any extra pair of clothing because I cannot sleep with these clothes on" I replied at top speed so she would not cut me off again.

"Just wait here "she went back inside and rummaged through a drawer, she came back with a white T-shirt and a pair of grey sweats.

"Thank you"

"Don't forget to return it"

"Sure"

I turned around and walked back to my room. I changed into the clothes that had been given to me. The shirt was really big, but I'm not complaining because going back and asking for another T-shirt means getting your head chewed by the matron, she really is scary.
I sat on the edge of my bed and played with the hem of my T-shirt when the door opened and Elijah walked in.

 "Don't you lock doors?" he asked

"I guess I forgot"

He came over and sat down beside. "It's so dark in here. why is your window closed? " he went to the window and opened it before I could stop him. He then peered out of the window and gasped. "You have such an amazing view outside your window and yet you keep it closed."

"Yeah about that, matron asked me to always keep the window closed, she does not want me to get sick."

"Yeah right, that pile of rubble over there will block any wind that is blowing your way to make you sick." he mockingly said.

rolling my eyes, I went to the window and closed it and drew the curtain close. "Whatever. I do not want to disobey matron's orders I don't have a death wish."

"Sissy" Elijah muttered. I roll my eyes at him again.

There was a knock on the door. "Yes?" I hollered, the door opened and matron enters. "You boys are to go to the school auditorium for an orientation, it's on the second floor in the west wing"

"We will leave now" I said getting up. Matron moved aside and let us pass.
