I followed Claudia The Grouch down countless corridors, dragging my luggage behind me. She pointed out this or that, but I wasn't paying attention. The ceilings were high and vaulted, and every step echoed on the stone floor. The place had a touch-me-not air about it, as thogh it were a museum instead of a place where people lived and attended school.
"Mavery Ellis, have you listened to a word of anything that I've spoken to you?" Mrs. Claudia snapped.
I realized that I had been so absorbed in my thoughts that i had continued walking, while she had stopped at the food of a spiral staircase.
"Yes ma'am, I'm very sorry," I said quietly, stumbling back over towards her.
She rolled her eyes at me, tapping her foot impatiently.
"Go up these staits and all the way down the hallway, you'll be in room 302."
She walked away after that, leaving me standing alone with my luggage. After hauling multiple suitcases up a flight of stairs and down a hallway, I stood outside the door of my room, to nervouse to go in. Finally, I pushed open the door, ready to begin my new life.
