The Foreign Adventure

ADVENTURE 7

'ADVENTURE 7

Samuel opened the gates to the boy's dormitory with much confidence because he had made sure the dorm rooms were super clean. He could perceive the scent of body sprays coming from the bathrooms from where he stood. The gutter was flowing smoothly and the environment was properly swept and discarded. Even a good portion of the green algae was scrapped and washed away. Unlike the girls dormitory the boys' was arranged in a straight line formation. Brandon and Rory just stood behind Samuel surveying and observing the dormitory.

"Alright. This is it." Samuel gestured casually before turning to face them. The other boys just nodded and kept on observing.

"The dorms and toilets are arranged according to the respective houses. So besides every house is its toilet." He added.

"cool." Rory retorted.

"The first one here is Maroon house that would be..."

"Mine." Rory quickly completed.

"Ok and yours is?..." Samuel turned to Brandon.

"Blue." Brandon retorted with his arms folded.

"Ok then yours is the room immediately after this guy's own." Samuel pointed before going to unlock each of the rooms quickly. Rory and Brandon dragged their suitcases towards the rooms.

"Take any empty bunk bed you see and begin unpacking your..." Samuel said finally but was interrupted by a shrill scream coming from the direction of the girl's hostel. Rory chuckled slightly and Brandon burst into fits of laughter. Samuel on the other hand scowled at them as if they were insane and made for the hostel gate.

"Looks like Whitney has met her first rodent." Brandon commented in between laughs and Rory joined in as he dragged his luggage into the dorm room. Samuel didn't quite understand what both boys were on about but that didn't stop him from going to make sure the girls were OK. Brandon shook his head at Whitney's antiques, although he hated the idea of having to stay here but at least he'll get to see Whitney suffer. He took his luggage into the dorm room and scanned the rather jam packed room. The room was empty and the atmosphere had an eerie feel to it. He could almost swear he heard something breathing but brushed it aside as paranoia. The dorm room was tiled, painted milk and had a PVC ceiling. It had about twenty bunk beds which were neatly dressed with crisp white bed sheets and blue bed footings. They stood vertically and were arranged in a U shape giving room for corners and lockers. Of all the bunk beds, there was one that looked cleaner and fancier. Apart from the spotless corner, the matrass looked higher than others. Just besides it was an empty bunk bed with a locker by the window.

"Perfect." He muttered before dragging his things to the empty bunk beds. There was also a bunk bed who's lower bunk had its four corners veiled with black articles of clothing. It looked weird at first but then almost like a light bulb a thought about how the owner must be a pervert dinged in his head and he inwardly praised the culprit for the rather sneaky attempt. He looked back at his bunk bed and scratched his head seeing that neither the top nor the bottom had mattresses. He scanned the room for an extra bed but didn't see any. He glared at the fancy bunk bed besides him wondering why its matrass was higher than others. He figured it belonged to a higher authority or someone above the food chain here. He was quite mad that he would be nothing in this place - like he was back at Blossom high. If he was ever going to be anything he needed to make a mark. Like a pack of wolves he'd challenge the alpha. He quickly went towards the bed and raised the hem of the bed sheet to confirm his suspicion. As expected instead of seeing a single long matrass, there were in fact two distinct mattresses stacked together as one. He grinned devilishly and pulled out one of the mattresses and left without making the bed back. At the back of his mind a voice told him to at least make the bed back but another told him to leave it scattered. He obviously listened to the second voice and decided on placing the matrass on the upper bunk.
