9 Settled In

Xavier's POV

Classes had officially began today , Monday. and to be honest I was kind of nervous, although I had been in a room with countless people before , this was somehow different.

This felt much more personal and it felt a bit weird . Our rising bell was 5am , simply because we were quite a lot and so we had to make ample time to be able to report to class early.

And of course the year 11, 12 and 13 used the bathhouses before us just to prove they were seniors. I just felt like strangling someone, aaaaarrrrgh!!!!. Anyway I snagged a free bathroom at about 6:30am which was cool , I was a quick person but the only thing that would delay me would be my hair, yeah I don't joke with my baby. I took a quick wash and stepped out.

So I was done dressing in about thirty minutes and sat down to style my hair , since it was my first day I made it fast , picked up my bag and left the dormitory.

When I walked into the main school block , it was like a stadium only that it was a stadium full of lost supporters who didn't know which team they belonged to. Suddenly the PA system came alive,

'' Good Morning Students , this is your Principal, and this announcement goes to only our new students. Don't worry if you are lost , it happens all the time'' .

Now you all move to the administrations office , state your name and program to receive your timetable and uniforms , then some of our esteemed seniors will show you to your various classrooms. Thank You''.

Suddenly all of us began to move , which created quite a commotion so I gently stepped aside only to ran into, Robert and for some reason all hyper this morning , where did the guy get his energy from.

''Hey , bro , it's Robby , you remember me ,''

''How could I forget.'' cue the eye roll .

''Which program are you studying ", I asked

"I am doing the arts, what of you , "

"Unfortunately the same field"

Then he began laughing, I mean really?

what's even funny , oh man I can't take much more

Soon enough it was our turn and we got to the office and hahaha we had the same timetable , whyy!!!!!!! , our first class was history . The teacher was a blonde woman with brown hair whose face was surprisingly in contrast to her hair and looking to be in her 50s , "Get seated already you dimwits, " , and the room got settled and quiet in less than 10 minutes.

I took a seat on the one of the middle desks with Robby right opposite me. Since this was our first class, it was kind of introductory and so there wasn't much to do , " and remember that where you're sitting now will be permanent for the whole year , " she ended in her high pitched accent. Her name was actually Mrs. Roberta Olsen. We had two other classes which were also introductory and had much more nicer teachers than the wicked witch of the west.

During lunch , I took a walk round and chanced upon the gym and it was quite nice , modern and had most equipment. I always liked sports although i never had the chance to indulge in it , so I just had to watch from the side lines. But then right there I made decided to give it a try. I would join the tennis and basketball teams .

Lilian's POV

My first class was biology and i was really nervous , the only person i had grown accustomed to was Jenna , the all too hyperactive friend . I could tell we were going to be good friends . I stepped into the classroom with a throng of other first years who were also as lost as i was . Luckily our teacher was not in yet so it made the walking quite easy , but less with the whole class staring at me . I looked directly ahead and dove for the seat at the far end of the wall , in the third column. The teacher headed into class about ten minutes later, and lessons began. But it was more of introductory classes, since we didn't know anything.

Fast forward the same goes for all my classes for the day , with all being introductory . Soon enough the bell goes and we close school for the day and head to the dormitories. This goes on the whole week but with gradual improvements and actual lessons going on. Slowly but surely , we get through half of the first semester and suddenly everything becomes like a routine which has made this easier. I study really hard to make myself and Karen proud , and I am getting there.

One day , a new student joined us , I think her name is Hailey Stanford. They say her dad is a prime minister but then i am not really bothered. Its like she thinks she owns the school and surprisingly she controls the school . But then I am not bothered as long as we don't cross paths. Jenna already loathes her , its so funny. And its worse because she is in Jenna's class , most times I pass by her class after school , you can see her staring like she wants to pick a fight and i bet Jenna is just waiting for a go ahead.

I was only hoping this would be a drama free school, but suffice it to say the drama is only just about to begin.

, We have been told that inter - house games will begin very soon so for those who want to represent their house , they should write their names and begin their training with their house coaches during gym class hours.

I was really excited because I had always liked sports, so I decided to join and play for my house .

Jenna and I decided to compete for our houses and wrote our names , a week later training began.
