the boy from room 205 - Phan

Settle in | Dan

"Hello Mr. Howell. My name is sister Adrina; if you may come with me" Dan sighed and took a better hold of his bag. "This institute mr. Howell is only to help you"
"yeah. That's what they all say" sister adrina gave him a small smile and gestured for him to enter a room to her left. The room had white walls, a bed that didnt look too appealing, a small desk with a chair, a small closet, a notebook and a whiteboard.
"This is where you will sleep and such. The whiteboard is where we will write your schedule. For Example if you have school, when we eat supper and what there is for the day, when we will come to give you your medici-"
"Oh I usually take care of that myself" Dan interrupted the lady. She smiled softly and continued.
"here we take care of it. Also if you have any examinations, testes, doctors appointments or meetings with your psychiatrist." Dan looked at her. She was pretty; blonde hair, greenish eyes, a blue dress with a white aprin over which hadn't a pocket with a pen, a litte notebook and keys. As well as a guardian pass.
"Okay then, thanks"
and with that he was left alone to get settled. Dan put his bag on the foot of the bed and layed down, he put on his bluetooth headset, connected it to his phone and put his playlist on. Silhouette by aquilo started playing. He took out his black sketchpad and continued on the drawing he made earlier. He heard some russling and truming sound at the other side of the wall.
another insane kid great
He thought. This tuesday wasn't the first day he'd spent in a mental ward. This was to be the sixth time. Although up to this point he had only spent a few days to a week or so in mental emergency clinics. This time he was being hospitalized for two years and would then continue as partly hospitalized for six months. The last six months he would sleep at the hospital but could go home during visiting hours; 8 am to 6 pm.

*knock knock*
"Hello, Daniel" a doctor greeted entering the room. "I'm dr. Winston. I'm here to take your blood pressure, Iron levels and measurements. As well as I'll fill in your board with names, times and such."
Dan nodded took the headset off, put his sketchpad aside and sat straighter up rolling the sleeve to his black hoodie up. The doctor worked his magic and prescribed him metoprolol for his low blood pressure.
"Thank you Daniel." he said with a stern face. Dan rolled his sleeve back down as he said: "actually it's just Dan"
"Alright, thank you Dan." He said and took his folder of patient files. "There is a group meeting in the main hall in 30 minuets. We expect you to be attending" with that he turned to the door and left. Dan let out a deep sigh and began taking out the few things he had brought out of his bag. Five other hoodies, Two long sleeves, a second pair of tight black jeans, underwear, a towel, toiletries and some pens, pencils and sketchpads.

12:30

30 minuets later he went to the main hall for the group session. He walked in and sat down in an arm chair. The mental ward he was in wasnt in a hospital but in a kinda mansion so the main hall was practically a living room on his floor with a little tv, two three sits sofas, one two sits sofa and two armchairs in a square like setting. He put his knees up infront of his small figure and looked out of the window. The leaves were slowly falling off the trees as winter was getting ready to blaze the world. He couldn't wait more for winter to arrive it was his favourite time of year. All things beautiful seemed to glow more in the winter. His thoughts was interrupted as the other boys and girls entered the room. Now all the patients were gathered. Two of the girls sat down in the two sits sofa beside Dans armchair and began a hushed conversation. Their name tags read Kate and Violet. Kate with blonde hair which was in a bun and Violet with brown hair and black hat. Then there was a girl practically laying down with brown curly hair as well. They all looked nice. There seemed to be 8 of them. Three girls, Five boys. The other four guys were a mixture of people. One of the guys whos name tag read Tobias had dark blonde hair and looked quite grown up. The two boys who seemed to know each other quite well, name tags: PJ and Chris seemed to be.. filrty. And then there was the quiet guy in the corner across from Dan. He had a black fringe and wore a green hoodie with black skinny jeans. There was something about that boy that Dan found appealing.
"Okay everyone. Here we are. Since we have three new patients so we will therefore begin with a round of information. State your name, age and hometown, something you like to do, on a scale of 1 to 10 how you feel about being here and if you want, why and then end it with your room number." The woman said. Her name tag read mrs Eden. She looked nice. "Fiona why dont you start" She said and looked over to the girl besides tobias with the brown curly hair. She had brown curly hair and looked to be quite a bit older then Dan.
"alright. Im Fiona, Im 22, from chicago. I like to, idk what I like doing reeding I guess. I guess like a 5, this place aint so bad" Her clearly american accent was loud and clear. "and I live in room 201"
"Thank you Fiona, does anyone have a question for Fiona?" The black fringe, green hoodie guy put his hand up. "Yes Phillip?"
"Not to be rude but, you sound quite american. Why are you here in england for your treatment?" he asked nervously.
"My parents decided this was a better place for me to stay cause no one would visit me here from home." she replied.
"Okay, Chose someone to continue" Mrs Eden said and Fiona gestured for the Pj guy to go next. This went on until it was Dans turn to answer. Violet had said he should go on after her.
"Okay Daniel go"
"Um.. Hello. I go by Dan, I'm 18, Im from Berkshire. I enjoy listening to music, and I guess I draw although I'm not that good. I just got here so Idk but it semes fine. My room is 206" Dan looked up and saw that the boy in the green hoodie without a name tag looked right back at him.
"Any questions for Daniel?" no one spoke up. "Phillip then, go on"
"I-I'm Phillip but m-most people c-call me Phil. Im 22.. I live in, um, manchester. I like to p-play video games. I-I just got here so yeah.. and um room 205"

The Black fringe, green hoodie guy was called Phil. That's nice. Maybe this wont be as bad as I made it out to be.
Dan thought.

So this is the first chapter to my first story!! I hope you like the vibe. This story has been circulating my mind for a while so I decided to put it to reality. So yeah.
