"Excuse me. Eric right?" a voice said as someone gently shook Alex awake.
"Uh…" Alex said as he sat up and rubbed his head. He looked at the clock it flashed 7:00. He had slept through the whole night without waking up one bit. He looked up at the person who had awoken him. It was a girl. She had brown hair that went just past her shoulders and bangs that her swooped to the right side of her face just above her eyebrows. "Hello?"
"Sadie. Umm… sorry for interrupting but they wanted me to give you a wakeup call since I'm right next door to you," she said as she stepped over close to the door.
"That's okay," Alex said as he looked the girl, Sadie, over.
"Umm… your things should be in the closet I put them up for you along with your undergarments which are in the chest over there. You have enough time to get a shower and be down stairs for breakfast," Sadie said as she started to walk out the door.
"Waite!" Alex said standing up and heading for the door.
"Yes?" Sadie said as she turned around. She didn't realize that he was walking towards the door and their faces were about an inch apart.
"Umm… will you stay and show me around after I get ready?" Alex said as he looked down at her. She wasn't but an inch or so shorter than him but being up so close he had to bend his neck to look into her eyes.
"Sure just let me change into my uniform, or better yet when you get through just come over and knock on my door. My room number is 34," Sadie said as she turned around and headed out the door.
"Okay," Alex said as he shut the door and ran into the bathroom. He ran back out once he realized that he didn't have any clothes to put on afterwards so he grabbed some underwear, a pair of faded blue, a long-sleeved polo, and a T-shirt to put over it.
After taking a quick shower and putting on his fresh clothes he headed over to Sadie's room. He knocked twice and waited for a reply.
"Hey," Sadie said as she opened the door and stepped out, locking it behind her.
"Hey," Alex said examining what Sadie was wearing. She had on a plaid miniskirt (dark blue, white, and red), a button up colored shirt (white), a pair of uniform school shoes (black), a pair of white socks that went up to just below her knees, and a tie that was a dark blue with red stripes that were at an angle going down. She had her sleeves rolled up just above her elbows.
"Oh, don't worry. You're not required to wear one yet; they have to take your measurements first," Sadie said as if reading Alex's thoughts.
"Good, so this is okay?" Alex said referring to the faded jeans, polo shirt with the T-shirt over it (his sleeves rolled up just like her's), and a pair of sneakers.
"Yeah, of course," Sadie said as she lead him down the hallway.
