Zed had not at all liked the fact that he'd had to decieve his parents about the situation at hand, but he'd known that they would be less at risk for not knowing. So regardless of how much he'd disliked it, he'd lied to them, saying that he'd applied to a good junior college and they'd accepted his application. He told them the place was out of state, and that he probably wouldn't have many chances to visit them.

Zed had a job working at a warehouse, but fortunately, his boss was able to transfer him to a sister warehouse not far from the school, so he could still work when he got there.
His family was far from wealthy, but his job had managed to pay enough for him to buy a car, which was a fairly sturdy pickup, and so after packing up all his things and securing them in the pickup bed, he drove himself to what would become his new life.

He'd stayed at a hotel the night before and had slept in for quite a while, for Zed was not a morning person, and then he finally headed out and drove to this new school for weird people like him. He wasn't really nervous or excited. It was just how it had to be.

After parking in a nearby public parking structure, he walked the rest of the way with hands in his pockets, until he reached the front entrance. There, he happened to see a young lady who appeared to have also only just arrived. He automatically assumed that she was another person who recieved the letter. He thought about saying hello to her, but then decided against it. After all, it wasn't like he knew her or anything, so he just waited instead, as it looked like she was about to try to open the door.
