This idea came to me during school when they gave us a paper about a boarding school, and my friend said that it would be cute to find love at a school like this. Clare and Eli immediately popped into my head and I got to writing. Hope you enjoy.
Rated M for a reason. I have a dirty mind!
The Muse Academy of the Arts is a boarding school out in Quebec. I had been attending that school since freshman year, now I'm a junior. This school has always been an all boy's school. Very high Class and one of the best in the country. It's a fast track to any popular college like Academy of Art University, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Full sail University ect. But now this year, they finally decided to allow girls to enroll. I'm not excited because I'm not looking for anything serious. Girls only screw you over. But I'm glad to finally see some real ass. So, if I am gonna get involved, it's only for one thing. Very typical of me; a guy.
But, this year I'm focusing on my major, which is Visual Arts. I'm an artist. I enjoy painting and drawing. I don't draw just anything like flowers or buildings and that other sappy stuff. I'm into more deep meaningful shit. I let my angst, hate and all other emotions out into my work. I'm glad this year I get the best art teacher, Mr. Pierre. He doesn't assign specific shit. He just assigns us to draw something, then present and explain the significance behind it, which allows me to get an easy A. This Art school is the only thing keeping me alive right about now.
And today was the day of my return.
I finished packing the last bag with my clothes, old ones and new clothes that I bought a week ago when I went 'Back to school shopping', most of my wardrobe was black. I zipped up the bag, and carried them downstairs to the front. Summer was coming to an end and I was ready to go back to school.
I'd spent the whole summer in my hometown here in Toronto with Cece and Bullfrog – My Parents. Yea, they're not really your typical American Mother and Father. But they have always been supportive and respected any decision I've ever made. They are quite liberal people.
Once I made it outside, a yellow Taxi cab pulled up, and Dad helped me carry the bags to the cab, mom following behind. The driver popped open the back and I began loading the trunk. "Baby we're gonna miss you so much!" my mom said in her southern like accent. She gets all gushy and emotional every year I leave to go back to school.
I lift both my eyebrows and sighed"Mom, I'll be back, and I always call."
"I know, but…it's like every year my little Elijah is not becoming so little!" I rolled my eyes and smirked. The sound of my full name kind of irked me. Mothers. I thought to myself, gotta love them.
"Maybe you'll finally bring us home a nice Lil' Lady next summer" My father said suggestively with his deep southern accent. As soon as he said this I had finished throwing the last bag into the back and slammed the trunk door kind of annoyed "Dad! Really?" I would never bring another girl home. Not since 22-04-09…
He raised his hands up in defense " Okay son, but it'd be a nice change….for you" I let out a sigh, this subject was already tiring me. I walked over to mom and dad and hugged them goodbye. I opened the door of the cab, and slid into the passenger seat.
"You know the drill Wayne" I said. He was the Taxi driver. He was light skinned, with long puffy black hair. He always wore some kind of cap, and glasses. I never really saw his eyes. And every year he's been the one to drive me. He's a good friend of my dad's, so Wayne has already been paid.
I took out my iPod, and looked for my favorite band. As soon as I found what I wanted I put the ear buds in my ears and cranked up the volume. I laid my head back, feeling the light vibration of the car driving on the roadand closed my eyes.
I suddenly woke up. I looked at the time; we've been on the road for about 6 hours already. Damn, I felt like I slept for only ten minutes.
"I'm stopping to get some gas, you want anything?" Said Wayne, looking into the middle mirror, as he pulled into a gas station. I nodded my head and he handed me a 40. "Twenty for you and twenty for station 5" I got out and walked into the little convenience store. I purchased two Large Monsters, A big bag of Sweet n' Spicy Doritos and some slim Jims. I got Wayne a Pack of coke and his favorite chips, cheetos; then handed the cashier money to pump gas on station 5 so Wayne can pump some gas into the car.
I walked back out with the bag of my goods and hopped back into the cab. The next 3 hours I spent eating all my Slim Jims, talking with Wayne, listening to music and eating half of my chips. Two monsters really keep you awake.
"We're finally here" Said Wayne. I can hear the exhaustion in his voice from the long Drive. He pulled up in front of the familiar enormous school hovering over the huge lawn. The school was made of marble, and had a caramel bronze color to it. There was a big flagpole in the middle of the evergreen colored grass lawn with the school colors; Red and yellow and had the schools Initials on it printed in black. I got out and opened the trunk unloading the back. I closed the back, waved Wayne goodbye, and thanked him.
I carried my bags through the large doors of the school, and made my way to the office to pick up my schedule, and room key to get back into my dorm room. When I reached the main office I dropped my bags, and was relieved from the weight lifted off of me.
I looked around to see girls, girls and girls. I was appalled, not being used to the vibe of having preppy hyper girls around, being loud. Some also gave me mean glares and just stared. Girls. There were small little clicks chatting, and I heard little things like
'Ohmygod im so excited'
'I wanted to share a room with my bestfriend!'
'Ohhh boys!'
I was easily annoyed. I rolled my eyes and went in line behind two girls, waiting to get their room, schedules, and all that other good stuff. From behind, the taller lighter skinned girl looked pretty good. Her short curly locks bounced as she talked and laughed with her shorter tanned friend. My eyes made their way down the back of her body. She had curves in all of the right places, and her legs were just incredible in that skirt. I'm definitely going to have fun this year….
Once the two girls got what they needed from the front desk, they turned around quickly, having the pale skinned, shorthaired girl back into me, slightly elbowing me in my stomach. I lightly held her arms, to prevent her from stumbling back.
"Oh, I'm so sorry" She apologized. I quickly let go of her and she looked up at me. I was stunned by the beauty of this girl. She had these big light sea blue eyes, and her lips were so pink and plump. Her face was baby like but still so flawless.
"No worries. It's not every day I'm lucky enough to be elbowed by a gorgeous girl" I smirked at her and my smirk grew wider as she blushed at my comment. She looked down and looked back up at me shyly.
"Ehem" We both looked over to her short tanned friend in unison who looked a little agitated.
"Clare I wanna settle in already, let's get to our room!" She whined. She looked back at me and faintly smiled a goodbye; I watched as she grabbed her things and walked off out the office with her friend.
I turned back to see the secretary Ms. Oh, and greet me, giving me the key to my old room, and my new Schedule. I gathered my things and made my way to the other side of the campus, where the guys' dormitories were. Damn, why couldn't the girls be on this side?
I finally reached my room door, which still had the 'CAUTION' Sign on it. I unlocked the door. Ahhh the room is just how I left it. My black bed sheets still covered my slightly undone bed, posters of my favorite bands still on the walls, and my lava lamp on my night stand with a picture of my parents and some magazines; Except the other side, where my old roommate Nate used to be. It was completely empty. Guess another roommate didn't wanna stick around. For the past two years I've been here, no roommate of mine has ever permanently stayed. Every year I'm hopeful I'd get a room all to myself. I'd turn this place around and make it look so sick.
Anywho, I set my bags down next to my bed and threw myself on the bed; earning a squeaky sound from it. I throw my hands behind my head and just lay there. I thought about what new classes i had, remebering i hadn't overlooked my schedule when i recieved it. I shot up quickly from where i was laying and grabbed my schedule from my bag and lay back down reading it.
Dammit I have to take Statistics all over again!
'Fuck' I muttered to myself when I read I also had High Honors English with Ms. Dawes . I heard she is a strict grader, and a bitch. I lightened up a tad bit when found out I had two Art periods and a free period. Last year I fell back so behind that I didn't have a study hall. But that's in the past; everything that held me back won't ever happen again…
GRRRRAAAAAA
My stomach growled at me. I'm hungry. They usually have some huge Dinner the first day to greet everyone, and all the new comers so that people can 'socialize' and 'get to know each other' which I believed was a bunch of bull, because most people here are dicks, and from the looks of it, the girls seem snobby. Except that girl with blue eyes…Clare.
Anyways I just want some food, so i decided to go downstairs. I changed into some more comfortable clothes and made my way out, locking the door behind me and shoving my keys into my pocket. I went downstairs to the large dining hall, man was this place packed…
I don't know if I should continue. Review if you like. 6 reviews = Updates. Share anything you'd like to happen Thanks =)
