Snippet #1958061

Anders stood quietly in the lobby of a brand new building, very fancy, that would soon be his home for the year. He clutched his trombone case eagerly, waiting for more young students to appear. He picked up a paper "welcome" card from the side of a nearby table and opened it. It read:

Hello and Welcome NYC's Academy for the Musically Talented!

You have been accepted in to a wonderful intensive training program
for musically talented young people. Here you will receive professional
instruction 24/7, and live comfortably with other young musicians.
Please make your way to the front desk to receive your schedule. They
should be posted on the announcements wall.

Thank you and enjoy your stay!

Anders set the card down where he had found it. While he was reading, a pair of other students had entered the room, one of them clutching a violin case. They appeared o be brother and sister. He made his way up to a large cork-board beside a desk at the center of the large, circular waiting room. Anders scanned the board for his name. He plucked his schedule from the wall. It appeared like this:

Another piece of paper caught his eye: A Room and Board list. He noticed the names, none of he had seen before besides his own, and read their rooms. It appeared like this:

[b]Room 400: Wynston Morph, Caladwen Aarons

Room 401: Damian Macaskill, Ethan Lopez

Room 402: Arianna Lopez, Katie Jenkins

Room 404: Damon Valentine, Dante Valentine

That was just the beginning of the list, but Anders didn't have the patience to read the whole thing. By the time he looked up again, the room was filled with young students. He noticed a short, nervous boy, an even shorter girl with brown hair and big eyes, and a blonde girl with what appeared to be a saxophone case. Anders felt slightly better when he all all the weird-looking students he would be living with-- At least he wasn't the only one with an oddity. But little did they know the extent of Anders' differences. Little did they know.
