I was not happy about classes starting early. I was positive this was just some sort of scheme by Claira. Actually, it was the only thing I could think of. Usually Classes for Winder Academy started a month later then the humans, not weeks before. I sighed as I turned on one of the old, slow desktop computers that were donated years ago. As it buzzed loudly while booting up, I scanned around the lounge.
Everything at the Academy seemed exactly the way I remembered. Even if it had only been a couple of months, I tried to forget as much as possible about this place. It didn't work. I sighed, pulling up the browser. Hopefully, our class schedules and roommates were posted online.
This whole year seemed really, really wacked out.

As I walk into the lounge looking over my job detail as Head of the Male dorms, I can't help but wonder what is in store this year at the Academy. I have been coming here for years and the vast majority of the people in my class have already found their mates. I have come to except the fact that I will never find my mate. The truth is I am gay. I have known this for a few years now and it's the reason I quit the wrestling team. It's really hard sometimes seeing as in all history and all my studies I have never heard of such a thing as a gay kinder.
I sit down at one of the ancient computers letting my mind wander as it slow starts up. I start searching for Dorm Room listings so I can help everyone find their rooms opening day. You would think that I would have that in this huge stack of papers I have but I don't. I don't even realize there is another person in the room until I hear typing that it's my own.

I stretched my legs out underneath the desk in an attempt to make myself more comfortable. To spite the years I've spent in the Academy, coming back was always extremely unsettling. Although I love my fellow kinder, the Academy was starting to seem more like a prison, and less like the home it claims to be. I quick pushed that thought away as I yawned slightly before letting my gaze move over to the person now sitting next to me. I nodded in his general direction, not expecting him to catch my glance at all. I was hoping that as other students arrived my negative outlook on this school year would melt away.
I sighed once more as the list of faculty finished loading. The high priestesses Claira and Kinley were of course the head of everything, but there were still other smaller jobs titles that needed to be filled. I scanned over all of the teachers, cooks, janitors, designers, and guards, I finally got to the Dorm Masters. Jaiden Rose for the males, and some girl I've never heard of for the females.
I looked over the list once more, trying to see if there was any extra information about either Jaiden or the other girl. I had a slight idea of who Jaiden was, but I couldn't put a face with the name. As I struggled to read the print on the screen, I cleared my throat. "You wouldn't happen to know who Jaiden Rose is, would you?" I said absent mindedly, asking the question to anyone whom would answer.

As I finish logging into the system and open up the files I need to look at I hear the guy sitting next to me ask if I knew Jaiden Rose. Being a joker of some sorts I smiled and thought of something witty to say. I cleared my throat to make sure my voice didnt' crack or anything. "Are you new here? Jaiden Rose is Capitan of almost all the major sports team and possibly one of the most popular kinder at the academy."
I pause a little while thinking that I sound really vain and that isn't the kinder way at all. I try to fight back laughing alil. "Personally, I think he jokes to much but everyone enjoys a good laugh. Not to mention he is a junior and hasn't even found his match yet. It's kinda strange. I hope he finds hi....her soon."
I bite my tongue alittle bit and go back to looking at the files. I can't believe I slipped up like that. I am always careful not to lead on that I am gay. I doubt even kinder would be open and excepting of that. Still I can't help but notice this sickly pain in my stomach for keeping this a secret. It's so bad I feel I might pass out.

I looked at the stranger sitting next to me. Hes blond hair looked musky, and his stature seemed worn out... almost like he had to much to do and not enough time. I tensed as he began to speak. "Excu..." I started to defend, but was cut off by his explanation. I tried to speak again, but all I could get out was "Um, well..." Wow, does this guy stop? I sat and waited patiently. I guess he was feeling some sort of guilt for his previous comment.
As he rambled, I tried to answer my own question. After considering a few people, I found my answer. I smiled as I matched a face with a name. Now his need for rambling made sense. "You're Jaiden, ya?" I smirked, leaning back in my chair, waiting for him to look towards me.

I turn and smiles at him with my eyes closed. "You caught me. Yes, I am Jaiden and I appologize for sounding so conceded. I am not really as great as everyone says. I was merely quoting what I have heard about me.
I turn back to my computer and see the list of names and room. I get the huge advisors room at the top of the Male Dorm. I have heard rumor that it has it's own private bath room. What? I still have to have a roommate. I thought the Head of the Dorm got their own room.
I glance over at guy I haven't really met before. I was embarassed at my out burst. This isn't a good way to start off my next to last year at the academy. I turn and print off the list of dorm rooms trying to forget about this incident.

"Dude, you didn't sound conceited" I comforted, or atleast tried to as I looked back to the screen, noting the fact Jaiden Rose seemed to have more titles then Male Dorm Head Master. I suddenly found myself calming down. I had absolutely no reason to be stressed about classes if I compared this guy's schedule to my own. Besides, it wasn't like the classes I'm taking were hard. They were about being a Kinder, and if I knew anything at all.. it was how to be Kinder.
I chuckled as I heard him object to a roomate. "Ya. I know. My brother used to be Dorm Headmaster years back, and he was the first one to have a roomate. I guess the Academy is getting to many Youth." I explained. "But hey... did you assign the rooms yet?" I said kinda confused. "I haven't gotten mine yet."

I hand him the list I just printed off. This guy looks really familiar. I think he is in my grade. I can't think of his name. "Are you a Henry? I think I remember your brother. He is pretty cool." I smiled thinking about past years.
Maybe this year won't be so bad after all. It the academy after all. It's a wonderful home away from home. It's so warm even in the winter when it's covered in snow. I love the winter best. It's so beautiful and swimming is one of my favorite sports. I miss wrestling though. I had to quit it because I might have given myself away.
I realize I must look like an idiot rambling in my mind and I laugh. " Sorry about that. I have a lot on my mind. I really think they should have given this position to someone else."

"Wait, so I'm the only one without a room assignment?" I held back a sigh, I didn't want him to feel any worse about the situation. One thing the Academy sucked at was making sure everyone got what they needed. Someone was always left out and waiting. I shook my head.
"Ya, my brother is awesome. Hes getting married next fall, actually." I said, typing mindlessly at my computer. Although I doubted it, I needed to check if I was given any lower-staff position. Last year, I did about everything that went unnoticed... so I didn't really think they would make me do anything this year. I felt bad that my mind was so self-absorbed. I could be thinking about things that are much more fulfilling.
"Don't worry about it," I said, trying to sound on convincing as possible. "I just have all this stuff and no place to put it."

I take this list and look it over feeling bad that because he doesn't have a room. He has to have a room. Everyone has a room. There I found him. That's awkward. I make a funny face and look at him"You're rooming with me aparently. So I guess you will have a lot of room for your stuff."
I laugh a little at the thought then I begin to wonder what anyone could be doing at the academy this early. If you don't mind me asking what are you here so early for?" I let my mind wander until he begins talking. Maybe he travels really far to get here or something. I don't know. It's seems kind of odd. Then again I am here early but that's because I am a head of dorm.
