"So, Natasha. Which school did you go to before?" "I went to X Girls School in city T". "Oh, you went to an only girls school? then our coed school will be a new experience to you right?" "Yes, Mr. Kim" said Natasha. Mr. Kim was trying to make small talks withs Natasha to make her feel comfortable. He could feel that the girl was really awkward or shy around strangers. He didn't want her to have any reservations when making friends or talking to new people. He wanted her to socialize freely.
"The building we just came out of is the administrations building or the office building, whatever you wish to call it. All the offices are there. There is a teachers room over there and a teachers room in the academic building. We teachers spend the before and after school time in the office building and spend the time in between classes at the academic building. This was arranged so that we wouldn't have to go through any hassle of going back and forth."
Natasha looked at the academic building which they were walking towards. The academic building looked nice from the outside. It was a five stories building and pretty huge.
"This is the front yard of the school. This might look like the main ground but the actual main ground is on the other side of the academic building. The academic building building is 'L' shaped. You will be able to see it when we go inside".
Natasha thought 'how large is the school ground? it takes 3 mins to walk from the office building to the academic building. There is another yard on the other side? How does this school operate?' She looked at Mr. Kim from the corner of her eyes.
Mr. Kim looked pretty young. Maybe in his early thirties. He was tall and a little muscular. Maybe it was his Asian genes making him look young. Miss Wells also looked pretty young but Natasha knew that miss Wells was not that young. Natasha read about her in the school brochure.
"This is the academic building. There is a teachers room, an infirmary, a cafeteria and a common room on this floor. The cafeteria and common room are on the right and teachers room and infirmary are on the left". They started going up the stairs. Students were walking around here and there, some were standing in the hallway talking to each other. Some looked at them and greeted Mr. Kim happily. Mr. Kim also replied enthusiastically.
"The 1st floor has 9A,9B,9C and 9D. 9A and 9B are the rooms straight ahead and C and D are on the right. You might have noticed that the stairs are adjoining the two lines of this 'L' shaped building, right?" Natasha just nodded not saying anything. She noticed it as soon as they entered the building.
"Your class would be on the 2nd floor. 10A, 10B, 10C and 10D is here. The serializing is general on all the floors. A and B are straight . C,D on the right. 3rd floor is for grade 11 and 4th for grade 12. The fifth floor is the library and reading room. Half of that whole floor is dedicated to books and book addicts. The other half is music, arts and crafts room. The library, reading room and music room has thick walls and good a bit sound proofing so that the students are not disturbed."
"There is a gym and an auditorium on one corner of the large courtyard. Boys and girls have different locker rooms and washrooms. You don't need to worry about that. and the locker rooms and washrooms have full privacy."
"We also have a greenhouse. There are many rare and beautiful trees and plants there. the greenhouse is pretty big. Some students like to spend little time of their lunch there. Benches and sitting logs are kept there for the students and teachers to enjoy there time over there".
"There is camera everywhere in the school. Every corridor has at least 4 cameras and each of the class room has minimum 2 cameras. The security of our school is very efficient. You will be given an ID which you have to use to give your attendance everyday. Now let's go to your class".
