46 Opening day (1/2)

The weekend passed quickly as Ensen ran around to try to get everything prepared for the opening on Monday.

Luckily there were no major issues.

Ensen did think about heading to the library where he met the student that hadn't contacted him yet but decided against it after thinking for a while.

Ensen laid in bed on Sunday night, excited for tomorrow.

Thinking over the main things that he had to do, Ensen needed to pick up the kids from the orphanage as well as to make sure everything would go smoothly.

While he did extend an invitation to his other faculty member Gerhardt, Ensen wasn't too sure if he would be able to come since his world seemed pretty hectic.

Ensen tried his best to sleep but realized he couldn't. Turning his attention to his phone, he decided to read a little of 'The all-slaying dog' before bed to distract his mind.

After reading for a bit Ensen managed to doze off.

Waking up to his alarm clock that he had set on his phone, Ensen quickly ended the alarm and stretched his arms. Looking at the time, Ensen had a little bit to get ready but not too much.

Knowing this, Ensen quickly got out of bed and went into his closet to pick out clothes that would suit his role.

Picking out a simple grey dress shirt with some jeans, Ensen quickly put them on as he thought 'Well this is good I think, it's too hot to wear a full suit. Only psychopaths would wear those now.'

After grabbing a quick snack from the kitchen, Ensen proceeded to head to his car while carrying the gift bags he had personally made to his students.

Before entering the car, Ensen decided to put all of the bags in the truck so the kids from the orphanage wouldn't see them. Afterward, he entered the car. Ensen began to make his way over to the orphanage.

After a rather boring drive, he finally arrived out front. Getting out of the car slowly, Ensen approached the door while still feeling concerned about the appearance of the building.

Knocking on the door, Ensen quickly heard two shouts from behind the door as well as three pairs of footsteps quickly coming towards the door.

Taking a few steps back in concern, the door unexpectedly flung open. Looking at the culprit, Ensen was unsurprised when he saw Warren, the natural fighter looking at him with a wide smile.

'I really hope he won't hurt somebody doing that at school. I'll need to educate him on that.' Ensen thought as the remaining two students, Anabella and Stephen arrived.

Just like Ensen had thought, they were all wearing the clothes that they wore when they were interviewed a few days ago. While they could have been washed in that time it didn't seem like it.

Nearly unable to wait to give them some new clothes, Ensen quickly greeted them ”Hey everybody, are you guys all ready to get going? I need to be there a little earlier than usual today.”

”Of course we're ready!” Warren shouted in excitement.

”That's right, we can go now if you'd like,” Stephen said in a calm and composed voice.

Unlike the others, Anabella just softly nodded in agreement with the others.

”Okay, then one of you can sit in front and the rest in the back. How about you guys take turns?” Ensen said after a moment of consideration.

Upon hearing no disagreement, Ensen said calmly ”Okay, then Warren will sit up front today.”

Nodding in agreement, the kids began walking towards the car as Ensen thought 'That worked well. Hopefully, it will be a rather quiet drive to the school.'

But five minutes later he was proven wrong.

”West Virginia, country-” Warren said with a mixture of singing and shouting.

For some reason, most likely out of boredom Warren began singing to the songs on the radio. This was quite literally the opposite of what Ensen wanted to happen.

'Well, I guess it's not that bad. He really isn't a shy guy huh?' He thought as he looked in the mirror towards the back seat.

Anabella was reading a book that she had brought with her without paying any sort of attention to the others.

Stephen was acting slightly strange. He kept a rather neutral expression on his face but Ensen swore that Stephen's foot was tapping to the beat and he was mouthing the words.

A few songs later they began pulling into the property. After a moment the building became visible and all of the students simply stared at it. Even Anabella looked up for the first time since they entered the car.

Feeling proud of their reactions, Ensen pulled into a parking space.
