Ferdi was walking across the open courtyard to the school, after getting lifts with anyone he could he arrived at the perimeter gate to the school that was his home. Well, he considered it home. He found it better living at school then at home. He hated at home, his estate was in the middle of nowhere, with no contact with the outside world. Living in a life of luxury but not with a penny to his name. His mother removed him from any inheritance that he would have received from his parents wills. Because of a lack of money he had no way of getting any where. It was as though he squatted in his own home. His mother refused to look at her son in the eye after the accident involving him giving his nanny an aneurysm at the top of a staircase in his lavish home. Ever since then his life at home went from fantastic to feeble.

When he arrived at the gate it was still locked. Students weren't due back for a few days, but he thought that a few days back early would do him some good after his hellish living out side of school. He noticed a girl by the gate fast asleep. "Hmph, she looks like she had the same idea." He reached over to the lock and examined it. He pulled out a pair of callipers and cut the lock and dumped it on the floor. He pushed open the gate with it squealing loudly in the silence, and he stepped forward on to the grounds of the school that he would stay in for the rest of the academic year. His shoes tapped lightly against the stone courtyard when he heard a quiet 'hello' from behind him. He turned around and took off his sunglasses to see who had called towards him. "Hey! How are you? I see you had the same idea as me. What brings you here? People aren't due here for another few days." He dropped his only bag. A tattered duffel bag and sat down on the cold stone floor to waiting for the person to approach.
