The Rose Garden Chapter 1: Beginnings I sighed as I looked at the vast field beyond the window of the car, my eyes inched up a bit higher to look at the odd shapes of the clouds in the blue sky. I turned and I looked down on the pamphlet that rested on my lap, the pamphlet was about this school which is my destination, the schools was named Mayfield, sounded like a friendly school but i wasn't definitely sure of course, I stared at the picture of the school building at the front of the pamphlet , the school looked like an a enchanted mysterious castle, i don't why but the school seemed to mesmerise me perhaps it was so beautiful and mysterious looking, I quickly snapped out of my trance as the car stopped. I saw the chauffeur coming towards the door i was leaning on, i quickly sat up straight waiting for him to open the door. The chauffeur opened the door and politely informed me that i have arrived at Mayfield. I stepped out of the car while the chauffeur was fetching my bag full of my personal belongings. This place was more beautiful looking than it looked in the pamphlet, it was huge, way much bigger than the old school i used to attend to, a few thoughts crossed in my mind about this school, mostly about fitting in, you know how students feel about going into another school. the chauffeur finished placing my bag beside me, i bent my knees at grabbed my bag as my eyes were still focused on the school, i walked towards the school soon finding out the many wonders of this place. "Ah, you must be Alex" The headmaster said with a cheerful tone in his voice while he was shaking my hand with a firm grip, oh yeah, my name is Alex forgot to tell you that. "Let me get your time schedule" I let go of the handshake and watched him turn around and told the secretary to retrieve my schedule, I let my eyes wander around the office, it was a nice looking place, beautiful artwork from students, obviously this school was more on the artistic side. "Alex, here is your time schedule" My heart quickly jumped and hastily looked back at the headmaster "oh, thanks" i managed to stuttered out, the headmaster gave me a welcoming smile and said "room 101 is just at the end of this hall to the right" and pointed towards the door, i quickly grabbed my schedule from his hand and looked at my schedule, scanning for the first period class is located, yep room 101 alright I thought and i slowly headed towards the classroom. As i walked down the hallway i looked at the other artwork from the students, did they ever had a talent for art, it was very beautiful, i finally arrived at room 101, Mr. Caforro was the name of the instructor of this room, i nervously knocked on the door and a man about my height with black hair and brown eyes, assuming this man was the instructor, he opened the door. I gulped and in a nervous tone i said " I'm Alex". "Oh, come right on in" Mr. Caforro said in a deep voice, i nervously walked in and looked at the students in the classroom, the classroom was small, the number of students in the classroom was small also. Immediately i heard whispers from the students , i hated this feeling of being the fresh meat "ok class this is Alex" "hello Alex!" the students said in unison "hi" i quietly said and walked further up the classroom to look for an empty spot in the classrom, then i heard a "psst" i turned my head quickly to find who made the sound and I saw a boy, he was a bit shorter than me, he had small brown eyes with a pair of glasses that is rested halfway on the bridge of his nose, the glasses made him look sophisticated not geeky or anything just sophisticated, he had spiked black hair with blonde tips "hey come sit here" he said in a boyish voice, i quickly found a empty seat beside him and sat down "hi, my name is Ryan, nice to meet you" he said while he gave a quick wave of his right hand "my name is Alex" i said still nervous, Ryan introduced me to his friends, his friends seem very friendly and i loosened up quite alot and the table were starting to laugh and talked about small things in life, i just smiled and laughed along and before i knew it class was over, the instructor walked up to Ryan and whispered something to him. "Okay, gotcha" Ryan said in a excited voice and Ryan walked up to me and said "I'm gonna show you around the school and to your dorm", "ok sure that will be great" i said, Ryan gave me a smile and said "c'mon let's go" he quickly turned around and walked outside the classroom, myself closely behind him. School ended and i was still following Ryan, we were in a small hallway with a bunch of doors like an apartment, he stopped at a door and turned around and gave me a key "this is your dorm, mine is four doors down" he said with a smile. "thanks Ryan" i said and gave him a weak smile and watched him walked down to his door, he was staring at me while he entered his room, i looked at him in a funny way and faced my door and unlocked it with the key and entered into my room, it was a medium sized room with a closet and a medium size bed and a big drawer to place my clothes in, i closed the door and dropped my bag and laid down on my bed and stared at the ceiling, very tired from walking around the school, my eyes became heavy and I soon found myself slowly falling asleep.
