The Mystery At Dorson All Boys Academy by SailorSenshi ~ a.k.a ~SS (ebook audio reader .txt) 📕

Gray moved to sit down but stopped when he saw Naveed still standing there staring at the teacher. Gray snapped his fingers in Naveed's face and Naveed snapped out of his daze.

"Wow, she's-"

"I know." Gray lead Naveed to sit down near the back of the class. She started attendance after a minute.

At last she reached the last name. But she didn't call Gray. He raised his hand.

"Your name wasn't on the list, are you in this class?" Gray nodded. "Okay, tell me your name and I will add it to the attendance list later." Gray did as she said and she wrote down his name. "Okay, now that that's done, we can go ahead with the brand new volleyball unit. Let’s start shall we?"

Class seemed to drag on forever. I hope this doesn't happen every day. Gray thought as the bell signaling lunch rang.

"Hey, Naveed, can you help me find my Dorm room? I want to dump some of these books I got from Trig."

"Ok, the number to your room is on your schedule." Gray took his schedule and handed it to Naveed. "What, room 6G05? I know where that is!"

Gray was confused. “Congratulations on that, but can you help me find it?”

“What I meant was, room 6G05 is my dorm room! How strange is it that the first person that I talk to is my new roommate!” Naveed exclaimed. “Let’s go to the room!” Gray found that a bit strange, but would prefer Naveed to anybody else in this whole place.

They walked all the way from building E to G. Alphabetically, the letters are close, but Gray really saw how huge the campus was while walking to the Dorms. As they got closer to building G, Gray saw a lake in the distance. It was beautiful. Gray made a mental note to go there to visit.

G building was an architectural marvel. All the other buildings were modern and kind of high tech, but this one was like a castle. The building was made of old red bricks and it was 6 stories tall. The steps leading up to the door were made of marble and they were wide. Gray decided that he liked this area. It had a lake and the building was beautiful. They entered the Dorm and saw it was empty.

“Let’s head up the stairs, they’re this way.” Naveed said.

“Wait, where’s the elevator?” Gray asked. They were heading to the 6th floor; they really didn’t need to walk all the way up there. And, plus these books are heavy. Gray thought shifting his backpack.

“There is no elevator. This is the oldest building on campus; therefore it’s the only one without the modern luxury of elevation. Sorry to tell you.” Gray nodded. Just his luck, he already walked all this way to get here with all these stupid Trig books, now he had to go up all those stairs. He suppressed a groan. Sensing Gray’s need, Naveed asked if he could help with carrying the books.

“No, it’s fine-“Gray started but Naveed already took Gray’s bag from him and started to walk away. “You don’t have to carry them all you know.” They were climbing up the stairs to get to the 6th floor.

“It’s okay, I need the exercise anyway.” Naveed said. But we just came from Gym class, isn’t that enough exercise? Gray thought.

They climbed up all the stairs and Gray was surprised to see how quick Naveed could climb the stairs with Gray’s bag and his own. Once they reached the top, Gray stopped to catch his breath.

“Alright over there?” Naveed said.

“Yeah, just… give… me… a… minute…” Gray was fit enough but after gym and the stairs, he felt as if he ran a marathon. “Where did you learn to… walk so fast…?” Even during gym, Naveed was kicking ass in team vs. team volleyball.

“Oh, well, my family is big on education and learning, but I really think that a strong body is also important. If not more so. Anyway, if you expect to live in this dorm, you will have to get in shape!” Naveed answered. Gray just rolled his eyes (mentally, he was too tired to actually do it). They walked down the dimly lit hallway (which Gray was wondering about, how a rich private school could not light a dorm properly?) “Here we are, Room 5.”

Naveed told Gray that he needed to scan his (or Naveed’s) ID card on the black box right next to the handle. Gray didn't believe that such an old building could have no elevator but have a complicated locking system instead. Naveed assured him it did and when Naveed scanned his card, they heard a soft click! and the door unlocked.

“Alright, this is insane!" Gray said annoyed. "Why would you have an inadequate amount of lighting and not install elevators but have a high tech lock system?! What the hell is wrong with this place? Oh, and don’t get me started on the missing studen--“

Suddenly, Naveed put his hand over Gray’s mouth and shoved him inside the dorm room closing the door behind them.

“Mm-?”

“Shh!” Naveed said looking around the room.

Gray was about to throw Naveed across the place but stopped when he saw the look on the kids face. Naveed looked depressed, confused, frustrated, a whole mess of other emotions and, most of all, Naveed looked angry- not the ‘I-just-got-a-C-on-my-paper-I’m-a-failure-to-mankind’ look that Gray would expect a smart kid like Naveed to get- but really, really angry.

Something was going on with this guy, Gray thought, and I bet it has something to do with those missing kids.

Ch. 3-- The Ugly Reality

Naveed let go of Gray.

“Sorry about that, mate. I have to make sure that none of the others here know that we care about the disappearances.” Gray’s eyes widened.

“Wha-“

“Let me explain, but first- get comfortable- it’s a long story.”
