The Reality Chapter Three: My new school
That morning I got out of bed quite early, I was way to excited to finally see the outside world I had quickly gotten changed and ate my breakfast. After I was done eating I began to try to get more used to speaking without my device it was quite hard the worlds just sounded so awkward to pronounce compared to English but I knew one day I would be able to do it. The headmaster had come into my room followed by a few others who grabbed my bags and left. The headmaster of the school had then handed me a black cloak with hood on it.
"Make sure you were this at all times if your in public we do not need any conflict happening with you, a special room has been prepared for you at the academy as well you will stay there and be separate from the student body." He told me and then also added. "As well as we will be traveling by a different method than what you would probably be used to."
I nodded as I quickly put the cloak on moving around my ears to find the holes they belonged in, and begun to follow him as he began to walk a lot of the nurses and doctors had been waiting for me giving me hugs and pats on the head, as I was leaving I had definitely grown really attached to this place over the months I had been here. As we took our first steps outside I looked around at the raw beauty of the area and the natural smell of my surroundings. The headmaster was walking towards a horse and buggy, a man opened the door for him and he quickly got in, as I tried to get into the buggy I was lifted up and set in gently, I gave the headmaster a curious look. He gave a small laugh at me
"You are going to be treated almost like royalty sense you are now apart of the academy, its for the upper-class of our society." He stated
I nodded my head as we began to move it was actually a lot more smoother than I thought it was going to be, I looked out of the window and saw that we were traveling through a busy city with horses and buggies on the road no cars people pushing carts on bikes people walking and running even the occasional people who were running a long the roofs doing some free running. Now that was something I was interested in running along the roofs of building jumping from one to another doing flips vaulting and rolling over and under things, it just looked so fun. While going through the city I was able to see some of the shops and something that looked like a large transportation truck.
"Headmaster I though there was no vehicles in this world but there one is." I said to him
He responded. "There are some vehicles in our society but we do not use fossil fuels like in your time, we only use renewable resources and these are the only vehicles permitted within city limits and they have their own highways so they can transport to different cities."
It was a pretty good explanation after all this world was now a lot more clean and pollutant free than mine was. Looking out at the city I saw people dancing singing the culture of this city was so wonderful it was nice to see the outside world the building looked modern but made of wood and stone it had a nice feeling to it. The buggy had slowly began to stop. The door was opened and the headmaster got out and then I was again lifted up and set down on the ground my bare paws hitting the cold pavement.
The headmaster turned around to me and kneeled down and handed me a necklace then he said "Make sure you wear this at all times in public it shows that you are a representative of the academy and you will be treated properly by them, make sure you stay close to me its quite easy to get lost here."
With that I put on the chain and looked at the insignia on it, it must have been the schools crest or something I looked up and the headmaster began to walk, away I quickly had caught up to him and he began to talk to someone I took that time to look around at all the people and train cars, I could definitely understand how easy it would be to get lost here. As I was looking around it was quite wonderful to see all the movement and sounds and smells of the station, someone had bumped into me and knocked me to the floor I hit my knee quite hard of the ground and gave out a small yelp of pain. The headmaster looked at me and helped me up telling me I should be more careful. We then boarded the train someone helping me up into the car.
While looking around our cart it seemed to have a few private room and an upstairs to it, it was quite a fancy place. The headmaster had finished talking to another man and told me that this one was my room and that I would go in and take a nap or wait before we started going off. I walked into my room and he shut the door behind me. I looked around the room it definitely looked like a Childs room with all the bright colours they had used in it there was a mirror for me to check myself out and a bathroom that had a bathtub and a shower a toilet a sink a hamper for laundry and towels and a garbage can. I gave a great big yawn I was quite exhausted from not getting any sleep last night. I took the cloak off and crawled into the bed still wearing all my clothes there was a window right beside the bed I glanced out of it and took a look outside it appeared as though we had just begun to leave the station. Just relaxing it took only a few moments for me to fall asleep.
I was awoken a few hours later to a knocking on my door and someone saying "lunch will be ready in 15 minutes young one."
"I will be out in a few moments." I responded rubbing my eyes to wake me up a bit.
I walked into the bathroom and pulled my shorts down and took my soaked diaper off looked for the wipes and once I had found them I finished cleaning myself up and put a new one on and got back into my shorts throwing away the old diaper. I put the cloak on as the headmaster has instructed me and I opened the door and walked out of my room. I jumped I had bumped into someone I was not expecting to be on the other side of the door. The steward let out a small laugh and beckoned me to follow him, close on his heels we went up the small flight of stairs to where the headmaster was sitting at a table, I took my seat across from him. I took a look at the time and saw that I was not late but exactly on time. They began to serve us the meal and it looked so delicious, much better looking than the food in the hospital, I was just about to start eating when the headmaster scolded me.
"You are going to have to learn proper etiquette now that your part of high-society." He said to me.
From then on it would have had to be one of the longest meals I had ever eaten with the way you had to pick something up hold it in what order it eat it was actually really exhausting. After the meal was over I found out that I was allowed to play my guitar but only in my room and as long as I did not make to much noise. I was plucking the strings playing a soft melody while looking out of the window it was beautiful to see the rolling foothills and the mountains in the distance the occasional farm, for a train it was very quite with how fast it was going, I put my guitar away and put my cloak on and went out of my room just to walk around the train car. I saw that someone was trying to come into our train car it was a young child looked about the same age as me the steward would not let them through as it was a private cart after all I ended up smiling and waving at the little one, I hadn't really seen may people of my age group yet so it was something I would remember. I walked up the stairs to the top floor where the headmaster had been sitting reading a book, I looked through the selections of the books they had and there was one about the current affairs in politics, I picked it up and began to read what was going on in the government affairs. I had gotten a few strange looks from the few people on this cart walking by, I guess I would give a weird look to seeing someone my age reading this stuff, all though I was not really interested in it, it kept me occupied until dinnertime. During the eating process I was being trained in more etiquette, scolded for messing up sometimes, the headmaster was a very strict man more than I would have expected.
After dinner was over I retired to my room for the night getting ready for bed putting on the night time diaper and wearing a dark green t-shirt. I crawled into my bed and positioned the pillows so I would see the stars. I don't ever member getting a good look at them like this when I was a human but then again there were so much lights in the world it dimmed the stars beauty. Not to much longer after I had begun stargazing I had passed out. I was later awoken to the train making a large and urgent stop, it tossed me forward a bit. I got up and I was beginning to get dress to see what was going on when the headmaster opened my door and told me to stay put. He was going up to check why we stopped. I sat there for a few moments I was a little cranky being woken up from my sleep I had not gotten enough of it in the past day, wondering what was taking so long I ended up getting dressed and poking my head out the door to see what was going on there were a bunch of people in the cart a head by the looks of it trying to get answers. I began to sneak out of my room and into the other cart when a steward came and grabbed me by the back of the cloak.
"Go back to bed young sir, you cant let curiosity get the better of you, what's up there is something you should not see at such a young age." he said to me while picking me up and putting me back into my room.
Realising I should be in bed getting a good nights sleep I got undressed again and went back to sleep hoping that we would not be delayed and further. I was woken up that morning by someone shaking me I opened my eyes and it was the headmaster.
"Get up I have to get your sleep schedule to the one you'll have in school." He said to me
I replied lazily. "Even if I am not going to be in the same classes as the regular students."
The headmaster nodded to me and said "Breakfast is in two hours so you have time to get ready."
I slowly got out of bed and walked into the washroom I undressed and took of my diaper I stood on the stool I was provided and I brushed my teeth. After that I started running some water in the bathtub to see how hot it would go, I stepped into it and turned the shower on full blast the water was so hot and so nice, I began to wash my entire body, it took a considerable amount of time considering all the fur I had back at the hospital I did not have the option to bath myself someone always would do it for me. I hopped out of the shower and grabbed a tower and began to wipe all the water out of my fur but it did not get all of it but there was a hair drier so I decided to give that a try. It worked out fairly well but the only thing I did not like a bout it is that my fur was no so fluffy and poofy. I dried my hair and I began to brush it into a neat proper style so I did not have it standing up everywhere. Once all that was done I had gotten dressed and put the cloak on and left my room. I went upstairs to were the headmaster was waiting I looked at the time I had 30 minutes to kill, that could have been 30 minutes longer in the shower I thought to myself.
The time flew by fast enough we finished eating and I got ready because we were going to be ending up in the town where the school was today, it was the weekend I was informed that all student had free time to go into the town on the weekends to buy whatever they wanted as long as they had the money for it, I was going to be able to see a few of them and see what they looked like a bit hopefully, though I could not interact with them. The train started to slow down a bit I could see in the distance a decently large city with the same type of buildings as the previous city I had been wood and stone to make a modern looking house the designs were quite well done. The train began to slow down a lot more I noticed we were going into some underground tunnel and could see small platforms with small amounts of people on them, we soon stopped at one landing zone that had a lot of people on it ready to board the train and many more were getting off. I had made sure to pack up my guitar and I was told to just leave it in my room and someone would bring my stuff to the school. I was then helped off of the train and stuck by the headmaster we walked for a minute and there was another buggy that looked a lot nicer than the first one I was on with the schools crest on it. We had gotten into the buggy and we headed off the headmaster showing me some of the sights of the city while we were heading towards the school. I saw a group of kids in the school uniforms they stopped and looked at the buggy going down the street they seemed to be staring at me burning into the back of my skull.
It was only a few more minutes until we arrived at the school the building was huge it had stone wall just like a castle as we walked through the front part of the school they had a bunch of fountains and topiaries, as well benches and picnic tables. It was more beautiful than I had imaged it to be there were the giant letters above the main building stating the name of the academy. We walked towards the doors and they were then opened for us. The walls were expertly decorated with amazing paintings and colours that accented everything. the floors were marble and shiny. We then began to ascend a staircase and we ended up a door which had a nameplate stating Headmaster.
"I want you to wait right here, do not move and do not talk to anyone do you understand." he told me.
"Yes headmaster I understand." I replied to him.
He walked into the room and was gone for a few minutes. There were students walking by who stared at me asking each other who that was no one knew. It was kind of awkward just standing there having people walk by me talking about me. One of the students stopped and looked at me.
"Hi there new kid, my name is Rico, what's your name?" Said the student in front of me
I did not respond to them because I was told not to talk to anyone, a few moments passed by and the started to look irritated.
"How rude of you to not tell me your name after I told you mine!" Rico exclaimed pausing for a few moments. "Can you not speak?.
I shook my head no, Rico had nodded his head and began to yammer on, the headmaster came out a few minutes after he started talking and looked at me and then at Rico.
He cleared his throat. "Rico, did you need something from me"
Rico jumped and let out a small squeak and shook his head no and ran away. The Headmaster signalled me to follow him so I did. He led me to a door and opened it up and began to ascend the stairs. Once we finally got to the top of the stairs my mouth dropped it was like a private sweet in a 5 start hotel. There was quite a large bed, a large bathroom, and a large lounging area, as well as a smaller room which had a desk the size of a child, a chalkboard and a desk for a teacher. I took a look around and all my bags and clothes and dresser had already been brought up for me. It was quite a nice place, though a bit to large for just one person I thought.
"So tomorrow we will begin the testing of all the subjects to see what you need to be placed in, if there is a course you would like to switch out just let me know and I will do my best to rearrange the schedules a bit." Said the headmaster
Looking over to the lounging area I said something to the headmasters "I do not think I will have a problem with switch out any classes but I do want to learn how to play that piano over there."
"Very well I shall see that it happens" Said the headmaster leaving me to my room alone.
I was later brought my evening meal. A few hours after that I was told it was lights out. I rolled into my bed and laid there for a while wondering what was to come for me tomorrow, how hard would those tests be. Well looks like I will find out when the alarm goes off. I had blacked out into a blissful dream.
