Before things get too heavy, another chime rings and everyone starts getting up and clearing the space. Warrior Osiston wasn't kidding when he said it's our job to take care of this place.
There was not a single crumb left on any of the tables. It was incredible. "What do we do now?" I ask after we all disposed of our garbage and organized our dirty dishes into bins for the omegas. 'We actually have free time until lights out.'
Most warriors spend their free time showering and heading to their rooms for some quiet time, especially when they have been out on the territory all day.
Some hang out in the common room. It's really the only downtime we get here.
Lillian links her arm into mine, "Come on, let's see what's going on. We spent the rest of the hour mingling around with the other warriors. We didn't spend too long with anyone though, and I couldn't tell you any of their names yet.
It was interesting to see the dynamic of the older warriors and the younger generation. There was a distinct difference in the interactions.
The warning chime for bedtime went off sooner than I wanted. I was enjoying listening and talking to the warriors here.
It already feels like home, but not the same way the Blue Crescent pack house feels like home.
"Is it the chimes that wake us up each day too?" I ask Lillian as we walk up the stairs together.
"No, that's the floor leader's job."
"Oh, great. I say sarcastically.
Lillian asks me a favor and checks on me in the morning. I explain my current situation, and she agrees to help me.
With the exception of Audrina, my first day here wasn't so bad. I head to my room and find more books and a folder on my desk.
I opened the folder first. It has my schedule for this week on the top of the small stack of papers.
It looks like tomorrow will be at the school. At least I get to see Sierra and check in with her, but it would be nice to see the warriors in action now that I have gotten to know them.
I toss and turn all night, but not because I was uncomfortable or scared. I am excited to get started and only wish my first day could be on the training grounds and not at the school.
I have to stay positive though, I will be able to graduate earlier than I thought and I will get to train.
This is like a dream come true. There is a wall clock next to the door, but no alarm clock or any outlets actually. They take this separation from the outside world seriously.
I'm sure there is a place downstairs to charge and use phones in a designated space and at designated times.
Once the sun starts to rise and the dim yellow light peeks through my curtains, I get up and get dressed, assuming I have to wear the uniform no matter where I am at on the territory, including school.
I flip to the second page of the folder that was left for me, which has my class schedule. All core classes, nothing unnecessary and no battle classes. This might actually be boring.
On the other hand, all of the classes say 'advanced' so they might all be really hard and suck.
