"Well it is very nice to meet you, Tim." Adam smiled softly at the man. "Have you eaten today? The caf' is still open if you wanna go?"
"They got great mac and cheese!" Austin responded ecstatically.
Tim smiled at the two guys and shook his head.
"I haven't eaten anything today. After lunch, could you guys show me around?"
"Of course! We would love too."
Adam smiled once more before opening the room door to let Tim through. He followed behind as the other two led the way to the cafeteria. It was surprisingly big for a cafeteria. There were probably 40-50 tables set up. Tim looked around in amazement until he noticed the pair walking away. He quickly rejoined them, in front of the food trays. They told him to grab one and just get whatever meal he wanted. The caf' offered regular, vegan, gluten free, vegetarian meals.
Tim got his food of choice and turned to face Adam while making a money sign with his hand.
"You don't have to pay. The food is included in the fees."
Tim just nodded and motioned for him to lead them to a table. Once they sat down, Tim took a look at all the people around him. There were probably 150 people in this room alone. It would have to get some getting used to. He began to eat his meal while shifting uncomfortably.

Once Tim had finally finished his food, the boys got up and started to give Tim a tour of the whole building.
"Okay, first off, this is the "relax room." It's the only quiet place in the whole building, so if you ever feel stressed or anything, you can always come here to calm down." Tim nodded as they started on their way again.

"And last but not least, we have our hangout area. It's usually just me, Austin and a few of our other friends that hang out here. It's a small group, so you don't have to worry about people crowding in your space. I know a lot of people don't like that." Tim walked around the room, looking at everything.
There were books, board games, couches, and even a pool table. Tim was in heaven. He had never had a special place like this to hang around in with friends. Heck, he didn't even have friends. He was excited to meet the people Adam talked about. Hopefully, they would like him. If not, it will be a very awkward stay for him.
He picked up a book and gasped when he saw the title. It was The Scarlet Letter. His favorite.
The boys were startled at the sudden noise that came from the other man. Adam walked over to him. "Are you okay, Tim?"
He just nodded and cleared his throat before opening the book. Smiling, he sat down and began to read, forgetting the two were even there.
Adam laughed softly at him and sat beside him. Tim looked up at him after he had already begun the second chapter. Clearing his throat again, he mouthed "I'm sorry," before closing the book.
"Don't be. It's a really good book. You can take it to the room if you want." Tim nodded excitedly and smiled.

When they reached the room, Tim quickly opened the door and ran to his bed. Adam laughed while Austin stood in the doorway confused.
"I guess he really likes that book." Adam said shaking his head.

Tim had finished the book in one sitting, which probably was only 2 hours. Every once and a while he would laugh and sniffle like he had never read the book in his life. Adam laughed at him and called him dramatic, earning a big frown from the man.
It was getting late, so Adam got up from his bed and turned the light off. Tim gasped again and Adam turned the light back on.
"Are you okay?" Tim shook his head and pointed to the lamp sitting on his nightstand.
"You want me to cut it on?" He nodded quickly.
Adam walked over to the lamp and cut it on before going and cutting the light back off.
"Goodnight guys." Adam said while yawning. He could have sworn he heard a faint 'goodnight' come from the man which made him smile before climbing in his bed to sleep.
