Chapter 1: A New School1
The pain of knowing that he was being sent to a boarding school felt like a dagger through his heart. His parents thought he was to deferent. The cab ride had gotten lonely. Darek stared out the window waiting to see Bridge Wood Academy. 2
The night was cold and dark. A heavy rain fell as Darek put his hand against the window. Suddenly the large school appeared from behind a forest of trees. It had large lights that showed the front of the school. Gargoyles glared down from the roof which gave Darek an eerie feeling. They were old looking, grey, and had eyes that seemed to stare into your soul.3
The school looked like a mansion, but Darek knew it was only a few years old. The maroon red bricks and the lit-up fountains made the school look younger. The cab pulled up to a large circular drive way with a fountain in the middle. Darek stepped out and paid the driver. He put his hood up and walked inside with his four suitcases.4
He pushed the gigantic double doors open, to find the grand hall. In front of Darek was a spiral staircase that went to the second floor. A giant chandelier hung from the top of the ceiling. The chandelier was painted gold and had crystals hanging down from it. To the left a group of guys looked at Darek. 5
The guys were muscular and looked the football player type. To the right, Darek noticed a group of girls that would quickly glance at him and then turn away and giggle. One of them had blonde hair and the most beautiful blue eyes that Darek had ever seen. She looked back at Darek more than the other girls. 6
Darek took his hood off to reveal his shaggy, neck length, black hair and blue eyes. The girl looked back at him and smiled and he smiled back. Then he walked toward a big door that led to the office. He opened the doors and saw a women sitting at an oak desk. 7
"Hello Mr. Steal." the women said.8
"How do you know my name?" Darek asked.9
"I'm the guidance counselor. It's my job to know the names of every student here at Bridge Wood Academy." "I'm Mrs. Parker by the way." the women added as she fixed her brown hair into a bun.10
"Oh, well pleased to meet you."11
"Here is your class schedule, student handbook, room number, and room key." Mrs. Parker said as she handed everything to Darek. "Your roommates are Zack and Nate, I'm sure they're upstairs eagerly waiting to meet you."12
Darek walked out of the office and to the stairs. The rails were painted gold and the steps were silver. He lifted his suitcases and walked up the stairs.13
He walked down a long hall with old pictures on the walls. He looked at the door numbers as they passed by. 2C, 3C, 4C, and so on. Finally he saw the number 13C on one of the doors.14
“This is it.” Darek thought. 15
He turned his key and heard the lock click. The door opened wide into a medium sized room. There was a set of bunk beds and a single bed in the room. A guy was laying on the top bunk and another on the single bed. Once they heard the door close they both turned to look at Darek. 16
“You must be Darek.” the guy on the top bed said as he jumped off. “I’m Nate.” 17
“I’m Zack.” the other guy said. 18
The two stood side by side. Nate was taller and much more muscular than Zack was.19
“We have a few rules of our dorm.” Zack said. 20
“What would those be?” Darek asked as he dropped his bags.21
“We study every night and we go to be at eleven o’clock.” Nate replied. “They’re Zack’s rules not mine. He’s the smart one.”22
“Same rules as my house.” Darek smiled. “So how old are you guys?”23
“I’m fifteen and born on June 26th,1996.” Nate said.24
“I’m fifteen and born on April 18th,1996.” Zack added.25
“I got you both beat I’m fifteen and born on February `13th,1996.” Darek laughed.26
Darek put his things beside the bottom bunk and laid down.27
“Well it’s eleven and I’m going to sleep.” Darek said.28
“Good night.” Nate and Zack said as they both got into their beds.29
“Night.” Darek replied. 30
The next morning, Darek woke up to seeing Nate and Zack watching TV. 31
“Hey guys.” Darek said sleepily.32
“Hey.” they said in unison.33
“You guys have to stop doing that.” “Anyway I have a question.”34
“Ok shoot.” Zack said. 35
“I saw a girl yesterday….She had blonde hair and these amazing blue eyes.”36
“That would be Kayla Summers. Zack has a crush on her.” Nate replied.37
“Shut up Nate!” Zack said.38
