He sat cross-legged with both feet tucked way under him, balancing an open notebook against his lap at an angle with only a hand holding it steadily in place. His spine slouching down against the back of the seat rather boredly, his other hand dangling lazily over his knee. Um, can’t I take control now? Bee urged quietly and pestered his other half. Immediately after the blonde boy turned and cast a gaze over the big room. ”No,” Bass huffed when jotting down some words in the book, ”you’ll get distracted and miss something. So shut up already.”
Down under his chair there laid a slumped bag sat underneath. He hunched over in the chair and gave it a light nudge just to check it was still there. ”Do you think we brought everything?” Bass asked. They didn’t know what to expect on their first day at this new school and made it a priority to ensure that they had included everything they could have possibly needed within the bag. Yes. I double-double checked, just like Anna taught us. Remember what she use to tell us? Bass groaned into himself. No, now was not the time to think of the woman. They were on their own now, nobody to mollycoddle them when things got tough. It didn’t make sense to ponder on the past. ”Anyway… I still don’t understand why we couldn’t bring Snowy with us. She needs to be walked.”
But she’s not a dog! And our dorm is very suitable to her needs. Bee tried to assure his other half from within, though his soft voice tended to fall on deaf ears. She has food and water and a tray. I fluffed up her bed especially and left out all her favourite toys. She’ll be alright without us for awhile. The voice continued on somewhat annoyingly. An--
”It’s still not the same.” The other sighed and leaned further into the chair. More students were arriving into the hall and quickly the sound of chatter and foot patter consumed the air. We never got the chance to eat either. I wonder what the food’s like here? Anna said it was much different to the things we were given in the laboratories. Well maybe there was an upside to this venture then? Anything was better than that nasty stuff. Makes you think what else will be different here. Like our classes and teachers? Finally we’ll actually have peers, classmates even. It won't just be us for once.
The boy fidgeted in his seat a little. ”Quiet. I think it's starting.” Bass focused his gaze ahead and onto the platform where the man would no doubt address the students from. Honestly, he didn’t care what they said. His interest lay only beyond this, somewhere else, pondering what things they’d be doing upon reaching their classroom. He was very curious.
