Probably best to sleep - again.

You close your eyes, you might as well catch some more z's. Despite already being pretty rested up, especially if your cousin isn't going to say anything worthwhile. Scratching your stomach you lean back and close your eyes. The lull of the carride putting you to sleep.

Eventually you wake up to your cousin shaking you.

"We've made it." you blink, rub your eyes and lay them on a small white house with two stories - it looks like the other houses in this neighberhood. Which must be the charm of Arcadia - boring. You grab your luggage and follow your cousin into the house where he leads you to a pretty well put together guest room.

"Wow! All this for me? I'm actually blown away cuz'." Wells gives a bit of a chuckle, straightening his tie.

"If you like this jsut wait until you see my room. Being the headmaster of a school that used to be funded by the richest people in the town pays well."

"Used to?"

"The Prescotts - bunch of pricks if you ask me -" you're surprised to hear him say anything as rude as prick but now you're interested. "Their eldest brat Nathan went to my school - and for two years I had to put up with his shit because his parents donated so much money I'd be a fool to not."

"Didn't take you as a man for bribes cuz'."

"There's a lot you don't take me for I bet - anyways not that it matters. Nathan's gone off to some psych ward and the Prescott name is ruined. Which despite how good it sounds leaves us with a hurricane of issues."

"Psych ward?"

"Hm? Oh yes - you see Nathan and a would-be Professor of ours were caught with a student. Attempting to do harmful things to her. Apparently they weren't as crafty as they thought and Nathan was able to get away with insanity. The teacher? Not so lucky."

"What happened to him?"

"Turns out our student wasn't the first he had done these things to, so he was sentenced away, teaching license revoked and more importantly we lost out on a Photography teacher & someone willing to teach sex education!"

"That's more important?"

"Important to me."

"Got it."

"Well - I've got to be up and early tommorow morning David, I've left you a key on the kitchen table. I've got some groundrules to set up with you about the house but - that can be discussed tommorow morning." Wells pats you on the shoulder and for a second you remember the warmth of a family member looking out for you. Then he exits out the room with a yawn. Which leaves you to yourself.

You start to unpack taking out your various belongings, mainly clothing you didn't have anything worth keeping besides your wallet & your laptop. And as quickly as you packed you've unpacked - you look at the time. Near midnight. Near midnight and you're still wide awake.
