The next morning Drake woke up and found himself on the floor, surprised,he thought back to what happened the last night and remembered all the thrilling activities till when he collapsed due to opening the box.
Standing up, Drake dusted his clothes and picked up the box again but it was empty.
"All that pain for nothing"Drake grumbled unhappily.
"what was that then"-drake thought as he could still lightly feel the pain.
As he was lost in thought,he was shocked silly when he heard a mechanical female voice in his head,
[system setting up:120 hours left] and the voice went silent like it was never there. Drake was shocked and frightened by the voice hoping he had not just injured his brain when he collapsed or become possessed .
Stopping himself from thinking of more scary scenario's which would probably not help a bit, Drake wondered if that was what was in the box he had opened,shaking his head,he decided not to worry-"Well we'll see in few days then"Drake said out loud as he headed towards the bathroom to prepare for the day.
After taking his bath, Drake headed downstairs for breakfast and met everyone already at the table and he joined them as they had their breakfast happily.
"Drake"his father called out for him after they had their breakfast.
"Come with me I have something to give you"-His father signaled to him as he took the stairs,
"Okay dad"- Drake followed in curiosity wondering what it was.
As they got to the room, his father gave him a packet that contained a few bucks and said smilingly -:Take this as a gift,though I wanted to get you something nice, I didn't know what to, so I'm giving you the money to get whatever you want with it yourself. Good job son you've made me proud and I hope you'd make me prouder.
"Thanks dad, of course I will"- Drake smiled happily.
"So when will the lectures begin since you've been admitted."- his father asked
" By next week the school activities begin so I should be leaving pretty soon"- Drake said in anticipation.
"Alright son, prepare then, you'd leave this weekend"-His father replied with a smile and patted his shoulders.
Leaving the room, Drake thought about what to get with the money,after brainstorming for a while,he decided to think about it later.
Finally,it was the weekend towards school resumption. Drake packed his luggages and every other things that might be important for school and headed down stairs.
" Drake, I've packed some foodstuffs for you, so take them with you- his mum said as she handed a bag to him
"Thanks mom"- Drake grinned as he collected the bag.
"Come home often and don't forget about us, alright! and focus on studies and make us proud"-His mom said as she patted his shoulders
"Bro I'll miss you"- his sister said sadly before running into his arms.
Patting her shoulders- "it's not like I'm no longer coming back don't cry, you look ugly when you cry"- Drake chuckled looking at her red puffed face.
"Hey,who are you calling ugly"-Eva shouted angrily as she hit his chest with her little fist.
Drake chuckled at her cute antics and patted her head-"Of course our little princess is not ugly she's super cute" smiled Drake while Eva just pouted her lips.
"I'm not little" Eva murmured to herself.
"Alright time to go son"- Drake's dad said as he headed towards the car.
"Okay bye Mum,Eva"-Drake waved them goodbye as he left the house and entered the car and it sped up till it was out of sight.The two ladies went back in and proceeded with their activities.
After getting to the college,they alighted the car, then entered the premises and did all necessary registrations and his dad left after leaving a few words of encouragement.
Drake proceeded to his dorm and settled down.After arranging and setting up his side of the room he slept off.
Knock,knock,knock came the sounds that woke Drake up from his nap, standing up he proceeded to the door and opened it and saw two guys at the door.
"Hi, I'm Caleb your dormmate or roommate, any how it goes"-the guy by the right introduced as he entered the room with his luggages.
"And I'm Justin"-the other introduced- "The third roommate hope we get along" he said as he also entered the room.
"Seems the last one still isn't here"
Drake thought as he closed the door and looked at the four beds.
"I'm Drake, nice to meet you both" -Drake said as he walked towards them " do you guys need help unpacking"
"Thanks we can handle it,you should go back to your napping sorry for interrupting"Caleb smiled apologetically.
'It's no proplem'- Drake smiled then sat atop his bed as he watched them.
After the both of them arranged their luggages it was already sunset so they all went to the cafeteria together and had dinner before heading back to bed.
"We should tour the school tomorrow, what do you say" suggested Caleb who was looking for a comfortable spot before laying on his bed.
"You're right,its still the weekend tomorrow so we should, we can't stay here all day tomorrow it'd be sooo boring"Justin chipped in.
"Mmm"- Drake acknowledged.
"So it's settled then, good night" Caleb said and switched off the lights.
