Fitting In - Chapter 2: Getting Settled
I was amazed as I took in the vastness of Jump City while I rode around in a taxi. No articles I had read and news reports on the television even told half the story!
The sidewalks buzzing with hoards of people, the roads full to the brim. It was heartbreaking the moment the words, "we have arrived at your destination sir", came out of the driver's mouth.
It was a run down 4-story building that stunk of garbage and seemed like the place where gang meetings were held but, hey it was still better than my old home! I entered the hotel, obtained my room key and examined it "Room 305".
When I opened the door to my room it was not as bad as I expected but then again I was expecting scum quality so that doesn't say much in the rooms beauty department. On the right of the entrance was a small closet which I could put my coats and shoes in, the kitchen was a couple steps forward on the left side of the room which contained a small gas stove, sink, dishwasher and fridge.
The living room with the kitchen that came with a decent flat screen TV, medium sized brown oak coffee table, and an olive green two cushion sofa lucky me eh? As I went through the doorway on the right it led to the bedroom and bathroom, there was an awful smell of stale cigars and retirement home.
On that note, I dropped my bags off and headed to the grocery store with a shopping list containing one thing: "cleaning supplies". All jokes aside I needed some of mans best friend as well, and no, I do not mean a dog, what I am talking about is food mans real best friend!
In no time at all I had my cart loaded up with supplies, paid the cashier and made it back to my apartment. Cleaning up the place did take up a lot of time however and before I had realized it, two hours had gone by.
The room was sparkling however, I was not I felt like a mess and wanted nothing more than to just fall asleep. As I lay in bed surprisingly I couldn't sleep. So instead, I just laid there feeling empty, I couldn't tell if I was happy to be in this new environment or sad to be just as lonely as before.
It's too early to decide I think to myself in an attempt to cheer up myself and clear up some of that self doubt. Well, I guess the real test will be tomorrow when I head to school and start my senior year.
Thoughts of meeting new people and possible new friends filled my head and all kinds of happy thoughts came to mind as I finally began to drift off to bed.
THE NEXT DAY
As I stood in front of St. Catherine high school I was a little intimidated by the atmosphere which, was strange because well, cmon. a guy like me ever being afraid is unheard of!
Firstly, there was a lot more people than back home. Secondly, I guess I never got the memo about the dress code and was the only one in sweatpants and a bright red T-shirt.
Great, now I was going to stand out like apple mixed with pears which I didn't want, nice going Willy you really messed up this time.
My first destination was the principles office where I was welcomed to the school and given my schedule. Thankfully he understood why I was dressed like a out of uniform, gave me a sheet on the proper dress wear and sent me to my first class which happened to be chemistry.
Walking down the halls was…interesting, I had plenty of people staring at me and some whispered silently in their groups, hmph guess they've never seen a red drake T-shirt before.
I found my class after a few wrong turns and took my seat near the back of the class. A few minutes passed, the school bell had rung and the other students had filled up the other empty desks.
There was plenty of chatter and the teacher hushed them quickly before she spoke, "so class I have been informed that we have a new student today, young man would you please stand up and introduce yourself".
Obviously, she was talking to me so I began to stand up trying to show my confidence however, I slightly tripped making myself like foolish.
I gulped before I began to speak "Hi, my names Wall…" before I could even say my name the door was kicked it, debris flew everywhere.
When I got a good look I could see he was dressed in full yellow armour, a yellow shield positioned on his arm and a giant "H" right on his chest.
You've got to be kidding me were the only thoughts that came to mind.
like I said before normal + me = never.
Also, I'm gonna start doing QOTC (Question of the chapter) so first one is.. Which team do you prefer? The Teen Titans or The Hive Five?
