"Oh hi, I'm Cass!" Said a voice from below. I jumped in surprise, hitting my head on the ceiling.
"Owww," I murmured in pain.
"Sorry." The voice said sheepishly.
Well, there went my good impression.
I looked over the edge of the bed and saw a small boy about my age, maybe younger, standing by the door. He was wearing a school uniform and had sandy blond curls.
"Are you my new roommate?" He asked.
"I guess," I said, rubbing my head. "I'm Jack."
"I'm Cass," he said, introducing himself again. Who would name their son Cass? There were some weird people at this school.
I climbed down from the loft, accidentally dropping the paper on the floor.
"Oh, can I check your schedule?" Cass asked, picking it up.
"Uh, sure," I said even though he had already started reading through it.
"We have PE, Home Ec., English, and Music together. And you're taking mechanics and technology, whoa! Have fun dealing with Mr. Fiddle all day; Aly says he's a really frustrating teacher. Luckily I'm taking languages as my extra courses, so I only have him for Tech Ed." Cass said. I was surprised at how fast he could speak. I'm pretty sure I can't even think that fast.
"Who's Aly?" I asked.
"Oh, Aly is super cool!" Cass gushed. "You'll love her; I'll introduce you at dinner. She has the best hair! It's bright pink and like, okay, well, you'll see when you meet her. You have a bunch of classes with her too; she takes technology intermediate and advanced. Apparently she knows how to hack into the school's student files."
Interesting.
"Hey, when is dinner?" I asked Cass.
He checked his watch.
"In ten minutes, but we can line up early. Actually, you should change into your uniform first, if you have one already."
"Oh, yeah, I'll just change quickly." I said, opening my dresser and getting out one of the uniforms. I turned to Cass. He looked back at me. I coughed.
"Oh! I'll wait outside." He said, hurriedly exiting.
At least he was friendly.
