Schulstress mit Hindernissen
The boarding school
Today was the day. Kai is packing the last of his things in his backpack when his father called from downstairs and asked him to speed up, otherwise he would miss his flight. Yes, Kai had to fly because his new home, as he called the boarding school, was on the other side of the country. His other things, like clothes, radio and whatever else you need at a boarding school, were brought there a week ago. As he went down the stairs, he stroked his cat's fur again and said goodbye to her in a whisper. His father took the backpack from him and put it in the trunk of the car. On the drive to the airport Kai didn't say a single word with his parents who were talking animatedly about the boarding school where Kai should go now. The handling of Kai and his luggage went quickly and smoothly. Shortly before Kai got on the plane, Kai said goodbye to his parents, because they couldn't come, and got on the plane. It was only a 1 hour flight to the destination but Kai wanted solid ground under his feet again. He wasn't afraid, but his stomach was queasy. He flew for the first time today, so you can feel sick again, thought Kai when a flight attendant approached him.
Finally Kai had solid ground under his feet again but he was still feeling sick. He got his backpack and the other luggage from the baggage conveyor belt and made his way to the airport where he was to be picked up. Now he has been standing here for 2 hours and no one came to pick him up. The thoughts and fears that he was at the wrong airport or that it was the wrong day or worse, both came to him. Shortly before he completely panicked, Kai noticed a young man who was looking searchingly over the masses of passengers coming out of the airport and cursing to himself. Was it possible that the man was looking for him? Kai decided to wait and see the young man further.This man became more and more desperate and cursed harder and harder. Kai, who had continued to observe the whole thing, went up to the man and just asked him who he was looking for, maybe he could help him because he had been standing here for a while and waiting. As it turned out, the man, his name was Erik, was looking for exactly him. Erik told Kai that he had been told too late that Kai would be coming by plane today. He apologized for the delay, grabbed Kai's suitcase and headed for a van that looked too short. Kai, who was still standing where they were before, took a moment to understand that he should be brought to boarding school with this vehicle. When Kai got into the van, the smell of a wet dog caught his nose and he felt sick. Erik, who hadn't noticed that Kai was struggling with his gag reflex, started the car's engine and set out on the hour-long drive to boarding school.
Erik had to stop halfway because otherwise Kai would have puked into his car. As quickly as possible, Kai left the van that smelled of wet dogs and threw up at the edge of the forest. Now he felt relieved but unfortunately he was happy too soon. When Erik came to him to inquire about his condition, he also brought a big flood of automief with him and Kai couldn't prevent another vomiting. But this time a good half ended up on Erik's pants and shoes. Kai, who inwardly began to laugh, apologized to Erik and crept towards the car. Kai spent the last few kilometers in a kind of half-sleep and Erik told him about the boarding school and its rules. Most of the rules also existed in normal schools, such as: No smoking in the buildings except in designated rooms, no alcohol, and the usual whatever rules apply.When Erik came to the boarding school rules, Kai listened up. The first thing that astonished him was that although it was a mixed boarding school, boys and girls had their own apartment buildings, where the students were distributed across the floors according to class level. The second thing that made him look big was the fact that uniforms were mandatory at this boarding school, which he would get later at the boarding school. And because that wasn't enough, the third surprise came. Due to a lack of bedrooms in the boys 'house, Kai should move into a single room in the girls' house. Finally the two of them arrived at the boarding school. While Kai is slowly struggling to get out of the car because he was still feeling sick, Erik had long since fetched the luggage from the van and parked it on a staircase. Erik indicated to Kai that he should wait here until he had taken the car away. As long as Erik parked the car, Kai looked around. The area was huge. There were 6 buildings, the largest was probably the school, then the 2 medium-sized buildings were probably the residential buildings. He couldn't do anything with the other 3 buildings. All around the buildings was light forest. It almost looked like a natural clearing where someone just put a building on it. Erik just came back when Kai took a closer look at a notice.
"Are you already interested in the boarding school clubs?" Asked Erik Kai with a smile on his face. Kai, who was shocked when Erik spoke to him, asked Erik with a slight hint of suspicion in his voice: "What is your job here at the boarding school? Are you some kind of caretaker?"
Erik started to laugh out loud without warning and then said, when he had calmed down a little: "Me? I'm not a caretaker. Just like you, I'm a student at this boarding school. Only from one of the higher grades." Now it was Kai flabbergasted. In front of him stood a student and not a teacher or other employee of the boarding school.He hadn't really caught himself yet when Erik had his luggage in hand again and walked purposefully towards one of the two buildings that Kai identified as student housing complexes. Kai ran after quickly so as not to lose sight of Erik. They were walking down some corridors and stairs when Erik stopped in front of a door. He asked Kai to open the door because he was loaded. Kai opened the door and stood in a large room. Wow, that's big, thought Kai just at the moment when Erik walked past him and put the luggage in the middle of the room.
Kai was putting his clothes in the closet when there was a knock on the door. Without waiting for Kai to 'come in', a group of girls entered the room. One of them approached Kai. Kai thought the girl was beautiful. She had long, blonde hair that she had tied in a braid and was about the same size as Kai himself. But this impression quickly vanished when the girl addressed Kai with a snooty and threatening undertone. "Listen to me very carefully now, little one. I'll only tell you once.", Kai, who had to resist laughing, continued to listen, "You are only tolerated here because the boys no longer have any rooms. The best thing is to keep it Mouth or what would be even better, you dissolve into thin air. So don't get in our way. Otherwise it could end up painful for you. "And with these words she left the room, followed by the rest of the girls. Now Kai couldn't contain himself anymore when the door was finally closed and began to laugh out loud. The tears of laughter rolled from his eyes when Erik entered the room to pick up Kai so that he could show him the area, the buildings and the most important rooms and to take him to the issue where Kai should get his school uniform. But first he listened to what Kai told him about these girls. Then he started to laugh too and told Kai, also with tears of laughter in his eyes, that these girls were in his class and said they were the greatest.Kai and Erik stood at the issue for the uniforms and waited for the caretaker, who kept the uniforms, to look for Kai's school uniform and hand it over to Kai. Finally the caretaker came back from the camp and handed Kai his uniform and wished him luck for the time at the boarding school. Erik accompanied Kai to his room, said goodbye to him and wished him a good night. Kai, who couldn't wait to see what the new school uniform looks like, tried it on as soon as he had closed the door and looked at himself in the mirror, which was right next to the door and was almost 2 heads taller than Kai. The uniform was very unusual. It reminded him of the school uniforms from various mangas he had read. The pants were black and the shirt white. Until now it looked like his father's suit. But this jacket? Made of the black fabric and with the gold buttons on it. How should he be able to move his head unhindered with this high collar? Suddenly he remembered his old history book. A similar uniform had been shown there. It was the uniform of the Prussian armies. The text for the picture said that these uniforms were used as a template for the Japanese school uniforms. Kai was still not entirely convinced of these clothes, but if everyone here was wearing such uniforms, he couldn't really care. He decided that the school uniform wasn't all that bad, took off the uniform and put it neatly on a chair. Then he got ready for bed and went to sleep.
