House of Wolves
Welcome To House Of Wolves
House Master Gerard Way stood proudly at the main entrance, welcoming the parents and new boarders to the House Of Wolves. He greeted every single new students with a smile on his face and occasionally asking a few senior students to help him to guide the parents to their daughters’ new rooms.
King Edward School consisted of six Houses - three for boys and three for girls, and each House is under the care of a House Master, who will look after the students, supports them in all their endeavours, or punish them — if they ever deserve it, and deal with their parents.
Gerard smiled and looked around the entire house complex. Today is a good day, and everyone is enjoying themselves, even the curious new house girls are excited when they get into their rooms.Every girls have their own study-bedroom, with a bed, study table and a closet, and they can decorate their rooms as they pleased.
“The House Of Wolves was built in 1856 by Lord William Wolves, a British nobleman…” Gerard heard some senior girls narrating to the parents.
“There are 2 other Girls Houses nearby- House Of Dunearn and Rodwell…”
“Don’t worry, the Boys Houses- House Of Cortran,Drury and Langman are on the other side of the lake, so unless they’re willing to swim across the lake, they will never get anywhere near your daughter, sir…”
Gerard chuckled upon hearing the explanation from a senior student.
As he turned, he saw a new girl standing alone on the main entrance, a copy of Shin Chan ( a Japanese comic about a naughty 5 year old boy) comic in her right hand and a baby blue ipod mini in her left hand.
“Hello. I’m Gerard Way, the House Master. Welcome to the school. Are you alone?”
The girl looked up from her comic and without smiling, she nodded.
“Where are your parents?” Gerard asked again, noticing that the girl was not accompanied by anyone.
“Who knows? Probably in Antartica doing business with the penguins,” the girl said coldly.
Gerard sighed. Yet another case of some rich guy’s children who’s checking into the school on their own.
“And your name is…” Gerard asked, flipping through pages of papers on his clipboard.
“Why the FUCK would you care?”
Gerard looked up from his clipboard. “Excuse me?”
The girl didn’t asnwer. She was busy browsing through her collection of music in her ipod.
“Miss, I’m talking to you. What is your name?” Gerard said, his voice more firm this time.
“Ean Chase-Spencer. Fuck I got a guy’s name, be happy for me.” She said sarcastically, without looking up from her ipod.
“Chase-Spencer, huh? Your dad is Jonathan Chase-Spencer?”
She nodded. “You know him?”
“He’s an alumni of this school. Five years my senior… the House Captain, water polo captain.. And my study mentor…Everyone knows who John is…”
“You went to this school?” The girl asked. Gerard nodded. “Everyone in my family went to this school.” Gerard said, feeling half proud of his family.
“You’re the kins of Lord Way of Buckinghamshire?”
Gerard nodded. “In fact, I am his son.”
The girl took off her earphone and stared at Gerard firmly.
“Your brother Mikey sucks though…”
*********
Later that night,Gerard sat in his office, one hand massaging his head while the other was flipping through the name register of the new girls in the House Of Wolves.
Apart from the ‘Mikey sucks’ girl he met, some new girls didn’t really measure up to his expectations.
“Do you know that it’s against school rules to dye your hair like that?” he said, pointing to a girl named Charlotte who had pink strips on her hair. The girl looked at him and said,
“You’re complaining about this little strips? And you know what? I don’t suppose you have WHITE hair since you’re born,” Came the answer from her.
And in other cases, a girl with beautiful green eyes came up to him and said,
“How do you feel being a young House Master in a Girls’ House? Wait. Don’t tell me, it’s great coz you get to bang anyone you want, right?”
And in another one where a parent came up to him and whispered,
“My daughter slits her wrists when she’s depressed, so please watch out for that…”
“Teenagers scare the shit out of me,“ Gerard murmured as he massaged his head harder and flipped through another girl’s records.
“Sasha- Straight As students, a state championship in Debate…”
And in another…
“ Nita Mae Leona- Gained Kings’ Scholarship to study in King Edwards School…”
“Paige- Nicole…Representing United States for Maths Olympiad in Japan, 2005...”
Well, not all’s bad anyway…
