The Number Five volume twenty eight

The reason for this is because I need to become more independent of myself because no one else is looking for him. At the entrance of this building were students flushing in, on the right side of the entrance read. Anna pointed to a small room after the entrance of the school. Walking to the building noises were being made behind. " Who is that?She looks just as bad as the other kids that are with Anna", the door was green with a small hint of red. I began knocking on the door hoping to get the attention of whoever is behind it. An agitated voice came from behind the door, " come on in". The doorknob was rusty I guess due to the amount of traffic the doorknob gets. In the middle of the room was a desk with a tired man seated behind it. I approached the desk. There was a file on top of the desk next to a lamp on the right corner. The man's index finger was pointing at the file, " open it up, that is your class schedule, also your supplies are already in your locker". While reading what my classes are and the supplies that have been placed inside of my locker. " Why don't I have to pay for these supplies?"He replied quickly. "Because if you're with Anna, and the orphanage then you are part of the program with us". I left the man in silence. Walked back to the main building of the school. My life will hopefully lead me to find answers to where I can find Five. My first class says Biology, I head to class the door was wide open. I entered the room very nervous of what this class will test me on. I looked at the board and they were names placed with numbers. I looked at the board then back at the number of desks. I found my name next to row three seat four, I walked to my seat noticing that it was in the back. Taking another look at the board hoping to see any names from the orphanage. The last name on the board was the name of Marcus F. I thought that Marcus was an unusual name, the real question was what the F is for. While the time drained down more students came through the entrance of the classroom. I started putting names where they were seated at so at least I would know who I'm talking to. I glanced around the room saying the names of the students so I wouldn't forget. I got to where this Marcus person would be sitting, and to my surprise he was sitting there inside of his seat. I was astonished to see him sitting there, maybe I had lost him with the crowd of students. But no that can't be. I was counting each one as they came in, I didn't even hear the chair move back. This Marcus fellow was scary quiet, I couldn't hear his footsteps or even feel the wind when he walked past me. Class started soon after the teacher started the lesson, all of the students started writing what was told of them. Marcus was sleeping while the lesson was being taught, the teacher paid him no mind. The lesson continued. I see a motion out of the corner of my left eye, it was this Marcus character twisting in his sleep. His voice was ear piercing loud," no! Please let me go.it hurts!". I got up out of my seat to see what I could do to help him. The students' gaze gave me the idea that this is not the first time.After twenty five minutes later his screams and shakes finally stopped. Shortly after the bell rang, notifying us that the next period was about to start. I turned to see if Marcus was okay, his body was not in his seat.  I just brushed it off. He was not to my concern, my only thing I need to focus on is to find Five. While I'm waiting for the next class. Anna peeked her head around the door, her footsteps were quiet just like Marcus. She took a look at the board then back at me, " you're sitting next to Marcus, lucky you".  All of the other girls in that classroom were giving me death stares. I got closer to Anna " why!Lucky me". She took a quick glance of the classroom before responding to my statement. " It's because he is fucking hot!"Before I could question her, she left without explaining herself. I made my way toward a group of girls that were grouped up next to Marcus's desk. The way their bodies were shaking made me understand that they didn't care about his mental state. I  followed Anna to the cafeteria where the sweet smell of food was bouncing off of the walls. My stomach made an unusual growl while waiting in line I didn't know what they were serving us but whatever it was it was going to be much better than the past food. I grabbed the plate that was made for me, I saw this Marcus character sitting with one other person. Thoughts started rushing in my head with outlandish ideas,before I could think of the ideas were real. I decided that I needed to see if anything was going on between Marcus and this other person, before I made my way halfway across the cafeteria. A small smile came across his face. I just stood there in front of them like some kind of creep, the other person met my look. His reaction to me just standing there gave me my nice outlook on him. " You can join us if you want", I accepted his offer. I seated myself directly in front of the random person. We started eating the food on the plate, Marcus was just the same as he was in the classroom. Without saying a voice he left the table heading towards a blue trash can. " Oh sorry my name is Steve, the person who just left his name is Marcus". I responded with " is he always like that?"There was silence in the air. " I've only known him for a year and there is so much that he doesn't tell me. Also at home he is much more distant".
