Chapter 4: Separate Musings

Gabriel walks into the dorm building with his hands in his pockets. 'I'm supposed to be in room 13' he thinks to himself as he walks through the halls, checking where his room is 'ah, here'. He sees the number 13 in gold plated numbers nailed into a rosewood door. He placed his hand on the doorknob, feeling it out as he slowly turned it. Once the door was opened he said to himself "home sweet- Mom?"

He stepped into the room, surprised to see his mother standing beside his bed looking at the picture of him from his karate tournament. "What are you doing here?" He asked her.

His mother stood up and hangs the picture on his wall just beside the window. She walked towards Gabriel "I just wanted to make sure all your stuff got here dear. I took the liberty of asking the school for permission to make some adjustments to your room" she moves her hands as to showcase the room and with a smile on her face she stops in front of Gabriel. "How was your first day dear?" She asked.

"It was ok mother, I've met some... Interesting people today." Gabriel answered as he looked around the room. "Do you like it?" His mother asked him, eyes widened full of hope that her son likes what she did with his room. "I love it mother." Gabriel said with a smile on his face.

"Lovely!" His mother exclaimed as she clapped her hands. "The book shelf has yet to arrive but I'm sure that it'll be here soon. Sadly dear I do have to leave now. I'll call you when I get back home." She continued still excited, happy that her son loves his new room, after all this is where he'll stay for the next six years.

Gabriel's mother walks towards the door and opens it, as she was halfway through, Gabriel suddenly asked "Oh right, did you find Seraphim?". His mother still halfway out the door, turns her head back and smiled at Gabriel "No dear, I haven't seen her. Who knows, maybe she already home. Don't worry about it honey, I'll call you if anything happens. Bye now." She stepped back into the room and gives Gabriel a peck on the forehead before walking out the door.

"Bye mom." Gabriel said Before his mom closed the door.

Gabriel looked around the room, filled with his stuff. And I'm not exaggerating, the room was slightly cramped.

Basically this is the set up of the room, as you enter through the door you'll find an old record player from the 60's to your right, next to that is a small black and white modern desk with the taekwondo trophy he won in Japan on it, next to the small desk is a blank space which he assumed where his bookshelf will be placed. To the right as you enter the room you'll find a small metallic trash bin, and then you'll hit the corner of the left side of the room which lies a white mini refrigerator, to the right of that is a long white desk which had a tea kettle and a coffee maker, next to that is a white king sized bed with black sheets and black pillows, next to that is another small black and white modern desk that had a lamp in a shape of a kid in karate outfit while doing a high kick stance (a gift, from his mother), next to that is the wall with a wide window facing the bed with an air conditioner above it. In front of the small black and white modern desk and beside his bed lies a small teddy bear, a gift from his once very close sister Seraphim. Next to the window is yet another small black and white modern desk with white desk top flowers on top, next to that is a study table which had a small model car and a small desk lamp on top, next to that is a computer table complete with a dual screen monitor, two high quality speakers, headphones, printer/scanner/photocopy machine, keyboard, and mouse. After that you'll hit a wall with a door that leads you into the bathroom, but before we go into the bathroom you'll see a big black modern wardrobe.

Now inside the bathroom to the right is a clothes basket, and directly in front of you as you enter is a transparent glass pane dual shower, to the right of that is a simple yet elegant towel rack, next to that is a standard metallic toilet bowl with a toilet paper rack beside it. Not to the left of the bathroom is a dual black and white modern sink with small black and white modern desks on both ends, both with vases on it filled with stemmed roses.
