Around 1pm, I reached the dorms that would be my home for the next three years .
After the first floor receptionist gave me a card key for the room 401 and an information manual, I got on the elevator . While flipping through the manual, I saw the time and day for the garbage disposal and a warning to not make too much noise . It also said not to waste water and electricity as much as possible .
“They don’t actually have limits on gas and electricity usage, huh… “
I thought that they would subtract from our points automatically .
This school really went through great lengths for the sake of the students .
I was surprised that they implemented coed dorms though . For a school that prohibits relationships between students, the coed dorms felt out of character . In other words, sex was a no-no .
Well, obviously .
It’s hard to believe that such a pampered and easy life can train students to be admirable adults, but given the current situation, the students should probably use all they were given .
The room is about 8 tatami mats big . This is my house starting from today . It’s also my first time living alone . Until graduation, I would have to live without contacting anyone outside of school .
Unintentionally, I let out a smile .
The school had a high employment rate, and boasted the best facilities and opportunities out of all high schools in Japan .
For me, though, these weren’t as important to me . I had one big reason for choosing this school . In middle school, I was forbidden from associating with friends, relatives, and other students .
That’s why I chose this school .
I’m free . Freedom . In English that’s “freedom” . In French it’s “liberté” .
Isn’t freedom the best? I can eat, sleep, and play when I want to . Without having anyone order me around, I can graduate with peace now .
Frankly speaking, before I passed the exam, the result didn’t matter to me .
There was only a slight difference between passing and not passing .
However, when the results came out, I was really happy that I got in .
No one can judge me or order me around now .
I can redo… no, start anew . A new start, a new life .
Anyway, I plan to have a fun student life from now on .
Not caring about my uniform, I jumped onto the bed . Feeling far from tired, I tried to calm myself down, looking forward to my future school life .
