Chapter 27

The day to leave for boarding school approached and I met it with very mixed emotions. I had a dreaded fear of what I did not know mixed with an eager anticipation of a new adventure. I looked forward to meeting new people and hopefully making a new friend or two, but also a deep sense of loneliness as I watched Lionel and his parents drive out the yard to take him to his school. Lionel turned in the seat of the bakkie and waved out of the back window and I could not suppress a tear that ran down my cheek. Fortunately no-one saw it and I was able to wipe it away with the back of my hand before heading back inside to change from my shorts and T into my school uniform.
Phineas came to the room and picked up my trunk and took it out to the double cab we were going to ride in because we were also going to take Willie and Johan with us. Stephan was bringing Johan with him and he would stay at the farm to work with Oom Jakob while ma and the Durant's were away from it.
With ma driving, there was no chance that anyone could do anything and I rode up front with her, while Willie and Johan sat in the back seat. There was a bit of chatter at first but that gradually died down and we spent most of the journey in relative silence with only the car radio making noise to listen to. I did see Johan and Willie suddenly move their hands to their sides when I turned around to talk to them the one time and I am sure they were holding hands quietly in the back seat, but could never prove it. We stopped at an Ultra City[i] along the way to eat lunch and then continued on the journey

We arrived at the school a bit earlier than we had been advised to and before any of the others. Willie and Johan unloaded their trunks and balancing one on top of the other carried them into their dormitory between themselves. The boys who had been at school the previous year had already been told which dorms they were in. Not that it helped with most of them, but it did with Willie and Johan. Ma and I went to the reception table set up in the entrance hall to the hostel and got me registered in. We had just finished when Willie and Johan came back and offered to carry my trunk to my dormitory for me. Ma gave Willie the keys to the bakkie and the two of them went out and hoisted my trunk out for me and carried it in to where ma and I were still standing.
"Which dormitory have they put you in?" Willie asked.
"Kaap 1" I answered not at all sure what that meant.
"That's good because it is on the ground floor and means you don't have to climb the stairs with your trunk." Johan said.
"Come on and we will show you the way and then you can come back and say bye to your ma." Willie said.
"They said I had to wait for the prefect." I said nervously.
"It's ok. You can come with us now and then when the prefect is ready, he can meet you and tell you what he wants. If you come with us now, we can help you get the best bed." Willie encouraged.
"If you boys are sure it will be ok, go with them Pieter and I will wait outside by the bakkie." Ma said.
One of the members of staff manning the reception table must have overheard our conversation and agreed that it was ok for Willie and Johan to take me to my dorm so I followed behind as they carried my trunk for me.

We had not gone far down the passage that led from the entrance hall when Willie pointed to the double doors at the end of the passage and said, "that is your dormitory there, but this is the prefect's room" he indicated a door to the side of the passage.
"Knock and see if he is in his room, then you can introduce PP to him." Johan suggested.
Willie moved over towards the door with Johan following as the trunk was still held between them, and gave a gentle knock on the door. The door opened and a tall, slender blond haired guy stood in the opening. "What is it, van Rensburg?[ii] I'm busy." He said rather harshly.
"I wanted to introduce PP to you. This is PP van der Westerhuizen, the guy I was telling you about last term. PP this is your prefect, MacKay." Willie completed the introductions.
"We were just helping him with his trunk and showing him to the dorm. Can he pick any bed?" Johan asked.
"Hi guy. Why do they call you PP? And no, he gets bed one." John MacKay said.
"They call me PP because my name is Pieter Paulus." I stammered out a bit nervously.
"No, it is on account of how big his cock was when I first saw it." Willie said, "But now it is much bigger." He concluded. I blushed and John smiled.
"Don't worry; we will be the judge of that." John said. "Now show van der Westerhuizen to his bed and then you can wait for me near the entrance."
Willie and Johan turned to move on back down the passage towards the big double doors with me following closely behind.
"We were going to pick bed one for you anyway. It is the best bed because it means you are the first in line for everything and so get the better deals. It also means that you can get out of the dorm without the others knowing when MacKay wants you, and when he sees your cock he is going to want you a lot." Johan told me as we neared the door.
Willie used his free hand to turn the handle and swung one half of the doors open and we walked through into something that was totally strange to me. I had never been to a dormitory before, neither had I seen a hospital ward, so to see two columns of beds interspersed with lockers was really a strange sight for me. Down the middle of the dorm between the two rows of beds were a series of islands which each had four doors on either side; above each door was a number. The number corresponded to your bed number and as I had bed one, I also had cupboard one in the first island. My bed was on the right hand side as you entered the dorm. There was a narrow walk space between my bed and the wall at the end of which was my bedside locker. At the foot of the bed was a pile of sheets, pillows and cases and blankets.
Willie and Johan put my trunk down at the foot of the bed and Willie said, "Here we will show you how to make a bed and then you can help some of the others when they arrive. The two boys quickly had the bedding piled on my trunk and with one either side of the bed they had the bottom sheet spread out and positioned very quickly. After tucking this in all the way round, they spread the top sheet and then a couple of blankets over that and tucked the whole lot in in one go. Showing me how to make proper hospital corners and turn the sheet down by the pillow end. It did not take them more than five minutes to make my bed and get the pillows plumped out in their cases.
With the bed made they helped me to unpack my trunk advising what I should keep in my bedside locker and what should go in my central cupboard, reminding me that I needed to keep room in the central one to store my school books. Locking the two they handed me the key and said that later on our trunks would be collected up and taken to storage in the trunk room. For the mean time I just left it on the floor at the foot of my bed and we went back outside to find ma.

In that short space of time, no more than a quarter of an hour, a lot more cars had arrived to deposit school boys of all ages outside one or the other of the hostels. The space in front of our hostel was the busiest though and we had to work our way through quite a crowd of parents and pupils to find ma, leaning up against the side of the bakkie. When she saw us she smiled and I walked straight over to her and told her that I had met the prefect and he seemed stern but that I had got the best bed and the prefect had said I was to have it. We all stood together with Willie and Johan talking about different students as they passed us filling us in on what was likely to happen.
About ten minutes after we had got back to ma, a group of the older students all came out of the front doors together. John MacKay was amongst them. "Those are the hostel prefects" Willie told us. "They have come to collect the guys in their dorm. And that is the house master." Willie finished as a man eased out from between the group of prefects. "Tannie, PP will have to go with his prefect soon, so you had better say good bye now." Willie advised.
"Thank you for the ride, tannie." Johan said.
"Ja, thank you tannie." Willie echoed.
"Bye-bye, Pieter. I will come and collect you all at half term again." Ma said, bending down to give me a hug. The she whispered in my ear, "I will not kiss you because the others will tease you if they see that. Now be good and do what you are told." She finished up a bit more loudly. I hugged her back and turned away because I was scared I might tear up. I was not at all sure about this boarding school idea. It was all too much new and not enough that I was familiar with.

As I turned away, one of the prefects rang a hand bell and then the house master began to speak.
"If I could have your attention please." He called out in quite a loud voice and waited for that attention. "I will soon introduce the dorm prefects one at a time. Then I will call out the names of the students that will be sharing the dormitory that the prefect is in charge of. Once you have been called please move forward to form a group with your prefect, who will then lead you away to your dorm. I will start with the older boys first and then work down to our newest students. This meant that Willie and Johan would be in the second or third group. The first group was made up of the boys in their final year, who had not been chosen as dorm prefects and the one prefect who was also the head boy for the school and was the prefect in charge of that dorm. These guys did not really need a prefect and instead of a single long dorm, they occupied the whole of the top floor and had semi-private rooms that they shared two boys to a room. With the exception of the prefect who had his own room which was the same size as the other's double rooms. They still had a communal shower and ablution section, but also had their own lounge and study centre. Willie and Johan's dorm was called third and they left us with both of them telling me that they would help me when they could.
I stood beside ma just as most of the other new arrivals stood beside their parent or parents waiting to hear their name called. Ma had her hand resting on my shoulder and I found this a comfort.
With all but the new students being familiar with this system of sorting people out, it ran smoothly and soon there were just two prefects left standing on the steps with the housemaster. The other prefect was introduced first and twenty names were called out to accompany him to the dorm that was at the opposite end of the passage my dorm was on. Finally John was introduced and my name was called in the midst of the other nineteen dorm mate's names. I was the only one who did not still have a trunk to take care of and as we set off there was one boy who was noticeably smaller than the rest of us and he was clearly struggling with his trunk. I did not even think about it and just went to his aid and helped him. The little guy just smiled at me in gratitude and we carried on. Some of the others already knew each other and did the same as Willie and Johan had done piling one trunk on top of the other with each boy taking a side and setting off.
With the short distance we had to go, we were soon at the doors where John turned around and said. "Okay, this is your dorm. It is called Kaap 1. I have allocated you to your beds, but once you are inside, and before you unpack, I will come around to see if anyone wants to change. Except you van der Westerhuizen, seeing as you are already unpacked. You will have to make your beds too and van's bed here is already made so you will be able to see how to do. I suggest you get together with the person in the bed next to you to make your beds. I will then leave you for a short while to get settled in and will then come back to take you on a tour of the hostel and the school."
John went on to allocate people to their beds and then went around and couple of the guys were shifted around so that friends could be in beds next to each other. John then left us and went out the dorm.

I had nothing left to do and so moved over to the boy who was in bed two next to me. I introduced myself and offered to help him. We quickly got his bed made up and I explained to him what he should put where from his trunk and moved on to the next bed along giving him a hand to make his bed. He was half way through because the guy in bed four was helping him so the three of us got both beds finished and I told them what to put away where. By this time the others had teamed up and finished their beds also and were all happily packing their trunk contents away. I went back to my bed and began talking to the guy in the bed next to me. We both did not have any brothers or sisters and I told him that I did have some friends who lived on the farm or worked there that were like brothers to me and that was why I had already got unpacked and the bed made before everyone else had arrived. I liked Mark, my dorm neighbour and it seemed like were going to become friends.

John returned and announced that as it was nearly afternoon tea time, he would take us and show us the dining hall first. There were three boarding hostels all facing on to the big dining hall building. This was a double story building with the second floor being storage and office space. The lower floor was divided into two. One third being the kitchen and the other two thirds being the dining hall. The dining hall was big enough to sit nearly four hundred people down for a meal at the same time. This meant that all three hostels could be fed at the same time. John explained the protocol that had to be followed for the dining hall and then led us in our turn into it and up to the service counter. We were given a cup of some type of cordial and a biscuit each. The cordial was welcome because I had not had anything to drink since our lunch and I was feeling a bit parched. After our tea time, John took us on the rounds of the school and gave us a bit of an aide memoir to use to remember where each section of the school was to be found. Over the next few weeks I was going to find that very helpful and was grateful to John for sharing it with us. I later learnt that the other dorm prefects did not share it with their dormitories.
John finished the tour by taking us around our hostel and showing us where the study rooms were and which areas we were not allowed to go into. Ending up back at our dorm, John had us go inside and close the door and then he told us to gather around while he gave us his rules for the dorm. He also told us about skivvying for him and some of the other seniors as each of the prefects would come looking for a skivvy from our year and then after that other sixth formers would look for skivvies but that he got first choice and would be watching us for the next few days to see who to pick. With that he told us we had some free time until supper time when he would come and collect us and that after supper we would have our showers and get ready for bed.
