Last winter , from what you heard at least , was a bit saddening . At your new school .. something ... Happened . Something that you weren’t sure if you should even think about right now as you walk with the schools principal inside , he blabbered on about how grateful he was that your parents chose this school for you to attend n he was impressed with your academic performance from your last school . Welton , or as the others inside called it , “Hellton” seemed so .. Gloomy . Nothing was bright nor welcoming . It was just a building full of sad ... At least there was a dog they kept for anyone trying to sneak out , a cute little security dog .

Mr. Nolan , the principal , would show you around very briefly before ushering you upstairs , school hadn’t started yet so everyone was still in their rooms . With reluctance you thank him n head on upstairs , searching for the room you were assigned . Once you did find it , you would knock on the door , waiting for whoever was inside to open the door . For a second , you had this sort of feeling ... dread ? Sadness .. ? Something . You weren’t sure at all why you were feeling like this . That event that happened .. could it have something to do with whoever was in here ? As soon as that thought crossed your mind , the door would open , revealing a tired looking yet somber looking boy , with blues n hair a dirty blonde in a short haircut , his nose n eyes seemed red , as if he was crying not too long ago . Before you could say anything , he just says —

“You’re my new roommate ..? Well .. come on in ..” he muttered , opening the door a little more so you could enter .
