Bare
Prologue
When Merlin was eight, Hunith noticed his sudden attraction to her make-up table and he asked for an easy bake oven for his birthday. These two things led to the divorce of Balinor and Hunith when Merlin was 10.
Six years had passed and she decided to enrol Merlin in a Catholic boarding school, thinking that maybe, this will straighten him out but that decision was the worst thing she had ever done unknowingly.
Hunith drove Merlin to the boarding school before his first day. She left him as soon as they got to his dorm. There are two unoccupied beds in the dorm meaning that his roommate had not yet arrived. Having the opportunity to choose, he chose the bed farther from the door and closer to the window. The room has a mini kitchen and their own bathroom. There are two study tables which are made of wood. There is nothing really special about the room but Merlin felt like he was home.
Later that day, his roommate arrived. He was reading a book about the Arthurian Legend when he heard the door opened. A gorgeous blue-eyed boy with a golden hair arrived. Merlin can't help but stare at him.
The boy walked towards him and offered his hand for a shake. "Hi, I'm Arthur. You must be my roommate."
Merlin shook his hand. "I'm Merlin. Do you need any help with your stuff?"
"Oh sure. You can lend me a hand here."
Merlin helped Arthur to unpack and organize his stuff in the other side of the room. When they finished Arthur asked him if he want to go get some snacks in the cafeteria.
They bought some sandwiches and drinks. They don't have any junk foods in the cafeteria seeing that it is a Catholic boarding school, it is not allowed in there. They went back to their dorm to eat their snacks.
"So why are you in this boarding school? I mean don't you want to go in a school where you can do whatever you want?" Merlin asked, wanting to know more about him.
"Well, my parents wanted me to go here because they are very religious and it's also like a punishment for me not to have and go to parties whenever I want to. It's like I'm being grounded."
"Why? Did you do something that made them angry?"
"Well, you know, just the same stuff the teenagers do. Always partying and doing some drugs especially when I'm depressed."
"Ohh. I didn't think you're the kind of guy who does drugs."
"Well isn't that what everybody do? I supposed not. My twin sister is also studying here but we're nothing alike. You won't even think she's my sister. How about you, why did you study here?"
"It's because of my mom. She thinks that this school will be a good influence to me."
"Why? Don't tell me you also take drugs?"
"No, I don't. It's just a bit confidential."
"Ok. I won't ask any more questions about it then."
"Thanks."
