CHAPTER 2
9:50am
"What time does that introductory meeting start?" John asked from his bed.
"Ten o'clock I think my brother said, annoyingly he is usually right." Sherlock replied.
"We better start moving then. We wouldn't want to be late for the first time on the first day. Especially if you brother is going to be there." Greg shouted from the bathroom where he was fixing his hair.
John locked the door behind the four boys as they headed towards the assembly hall. In front of the assembly hall stood Mycroft with his back to them, as he turned around he locked his eyes on Ethan and glared. Ethan glared back as the other three boys tried to suppress laughter.
"Where is your school uniform?" Mycroft said with a look that could kill.
"In my room," Ethan replied with a smile. "I don't really feel like wearing it right now."
"You have no choice! Now go back to your room and put on your uniform at once."
"Why?"
"What do you mean why? Its school rules and I am a prefect now go and put on your uniform."
Suddenly a tall, stern looking, man in a suit and tie stood behind Ethan.
"What seems to be the problem here, Mr Holmes?" The man said with an unusually deep voice.
"This first year will not put on his uniform after me asking him multiple times." Mycroft replied with a smug look on his face.
"Is that so? Well Mr Hunter it seems we are already off to a bad start." Ethan just stared at the man with a look of dread on his face. "Mr Cohen," The man called to a teacher (who ran over at once) in the assembly hall, "Would you please accompany Mr Hunter back to his room so he can put on his school uniform?"
"Yes Headmaster." The man grabbed Ethan by the shoulder as they started off down the corrider the four boys had come from.
"Now boys would you like to make your way inside please and take a seat." The headmaster said looking seriously at the boys.
"Yes sir." They replied in unison.
The boys decided to take the seats at the back of the hall, leaving a space for Ethan, next to some girls. Five minutes Later Ethan returned with Mr Cohen following quickly behind. He took the seat beside Greg and a blonde haired girl who just smiled at him as he sat down. Greg couldn't help but think they looked similar with their blonde hair, blue eyes and tan. His thoughts were cut off as the Headmaster began to speak.
"Good morning first years. This is the only assembly of the school year of which I will be speaking in. The rest you will attend with your house captains either Mycroft Holmes or Martha Hudson. Now each of you has been split into the schools two houses, London or Edinburgh, Mr Holmes is in charge of London and Miss Hudson Edinburgh. Once you have been placed in a house there is no chance of changing it. Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Gregory Lestrade, Ethan Hunter, Taylor Hunter, Molly Hooper, Sally Donovan and Mary Morsten are in London," the four boys didn't look happy, they were going to be stuck in a house with Mycroft for the next few years. "Leaving Phillip Anderson, James Moriarty, Sebastian Wilkes, Charles Magnusson, Irene Adler, Anthea Jones, Harriet Watson and Clara Jones in Edinburgh. Mycroft I leave the rest to you." The headmaster walked straight out the hall once he finished speaking leaving the door to close on its own.
"Yes, well for those of you who don't already know the rooms are as follows.
221A: Taylor, Molly, Sally and Mary.
221B: Sherlock, Gregory, John and Ethan.
222A: Irene, Anthea, Harry and Clara.
222B: Phillip, James, Sebastian and Charles.
There is no possibility to change rooms and you must all be in your rooms by 10pm. You do not have to be asleep by then but you must be in your rooms. Rooms will be inspected at 9pm Sunday night and if the cleanliness of the room is not satisfactory all those in the room will be on detention at lunch time during the week for as long as the headmaster sees fit. The school day is nine and half hours long with 15 minute breaks between second and third period and sixth and seventh period. Lunch time is one hour and is between fourth and fifth period. On Sunday from 9 until 12 am your specialised classes, which you have individually chosen, will take place and are as follows:
Law Enforcement and Crime: Gregory, Sherlock, Phillip, Sally and Taylor.
Medicine: John, Ethan, Molly and Mary.
Fashion and Modelling: Irene, Harry, Clara.
Politics: Myself, Charles, Anthea and Martha.
Computers and Software design: James.
Gun Handling: Sebastian.
Last year houses had to meet for 2 hours a day but this year we have cut this back to one hour on Sunday at 1pm. Every student must attend their house meeting as it helps keep track of your learning and behaviour weekly. That is all for this year and there will be a house meeting at 1pm today so London house come here and Edinburgh house go to the sports hall. Oh and just before you go school uniform is not required for these meetings."
The boys headed back to their room, it was only 10:30.
"They made me put this uniform on for 20 minutes. 20 bloody minutes!" Ethan said obviously annoyed. Greg, John and Sherlock were laughing all the way back to their room.
