This wasn't at all like what David had been told. His mother told him it was a co-ed school, but now he was at a boy's only school? Well, it had been a long time since his mother went to school, and David occasionally thought she was a few cups short of a tea set.

He slowly moved to sit down in one of the plastic covered seats. The plastic underneath him made strange sounds everytime he moved. The brightness of the white everything was also starting to get to him but then he remembered the sunglasses he'd put in his robes. He had thought he'd wear them to make him seem cooler than he was around the girls, but since there were no girls the sunglasses would have to become more practical and block the brightness of the room.

David then saw the portait above the white mantel. Just looking at it made his skin crawl, something about the man bothered David, or maybe it was the dogs. Ever since his uncles dog bit him David had been a little afraid of dogs.
