“Spaghetti School! S-P-A-G-H-E-T-T-I. SPAGHETTI. SCHOOL!” the cheerleaders shout on either side of Zenzeroni as he makes his way into his dorm hall.
I don’t think they know that doesn’t roll off the tongue as nicely as they may think it does” Smoky grumbles to Zenzeroni as he ushers Zenzeorni in front of him as they stop at the front desk to get Zenzeroni’s keys.
“Welcome to Spaghetti School! What is your name and current kitchen rank?” A far too happy student at the front desk asks Zenzeroni.
“Zenzeroni Xystarch II. Um I don’t really know what a kitchen rank is.”
“You don’t know what a kitchen rank is…” The happy go lucky demeanor of the front desk student drops and changes to a cold stare “Let me guess your daddy bought you into this school then huh? Fucking rich kids taking up spots when they don’t even know the difference between Oregano and Basil” the student spits over the desk in the direction of Zenzeroni and reads through the paper in front of them. “Floor 13 Room 18 try not to burn any mac and cheese in the microwave before the great freshmen get together. Which is at 6 pm sharp by the way.”
“Sounds good. Thank you…” Zenzeroni trails off looking for the student to give him their name but when they don’t Zenzeroni awkwardly walks away with Smoky toward the elevators. “I knew this was a mistake. I don’t know anything about cooking I’m going to be roasted alive!”
“You picked up pirateering when you were only 7 years old this will be a cakewalk. Stop being so hard on yourself and let’s get you situated in your new room.”
Zenzeroni and Smoky wait in line at the elevator until it is their turn to step into the elevator and be whisked away to floor number 13. The building is massive and is at least 20 stories tall so being somewhere in the middle wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. And getting off on floor 13 Zenzeroni noticed the level was decorated about as American as you could get with American flags and the smell of barbeque and mac and cheese. Zenzeroni makes his way through the tight hallways that are adorned with streamers and lights until he arrives at door number 18 which happens to already be open and inside is an excited young man that has already laid claim to the entire room.
Zenzeroni knocks on the outside of the door, “Excuse me?” The kid who was at the moment placing a picture of himself proudly holding his high school diploma in the center of the room looks up startled “OMG I have been waiting FOR-EVER for you to get here you must be Zenzeroni!” Zenzeorni’s new roommate says slurring through Zenzeroni’s name as he attempts and fails to pronounce it correctly.
“That’s me haha.” Zenzeroni mumbles as his new roommate jumps up and over some of the mess he had already created and gives Zenzeroni a big hug.
“Well nice to meet you! My name is Linguine Zamboni can you believe we are on floor 13?! Spooooooooooky am I right?! Halloween is going to be off the chains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to have so many girls over and party all night long. We are going to be the party room for sure!”
“Yeah. Ok, yeah nice to meet you Linguine. What’s up with all the American decorations?”
“Bro did you even tour this place before coming here? Every floor is dedicated to a specific cuisine. We got the American floor which, to be honest, isn’t great but it is definitely better than the British floor so at least there’s that.”
“Oh yeah…..I guess I just forgot” Zenzeorni says not having toured the place at all.
“Oh man where are my manners?! Mr. Zenzeroni nice to meet you. You look like you came fresh off a pirate ship!” Linguine says to Smoky who is still wearing his normal pirate uniform.
“Thought I’d dress up for the occasion heh,” Smoky says shaking Linguine’s hand with a fake smile.
“So where’s all your stuff? I figured we could kind of have a free for all and since I got here first you snooze you lose you know? But throw your stuff wherever I don’t mind.”
“I actually didn’t really bring anything with me.”
“You didn’t even bring your kitchen supplies?”
“No….I guess I forgot”
“Oh boy well the head chefs probably aren’t going to like that but I suppose I could sneak you some of my supplies if you’d like?”
“That would be nice.”
“Oh for sure. Dude this is going to be so fucking sick!” Linguine says as he steps in one of his mixing bowls and tumbles and falls to the floor before hopping up laughing as if nothing happened. Zenzeroni gives a pleading look to Smoky who shrugs.
“Alright well, I think I will let you two get acquainted. Don’t get into too much trouble now!” Smoky says backing out of the door and toward the elevator.
“Right on Mr. Zenzeroni!” Linguine shouts to Smoky in the distance leaving Zenzeroni alone with Linguine.
“So uh, what do we do now?” Zenzeroni asks Linguine.
“There’s a big freshman get together at 6 and I heard there’s going to be a HUGE announcement during the party.”
“Do we have to go or can we just chill in the dorm?”
“Oh come on! Are you telling me I got a weenie for a roommate?!”
“No, no, not at all I was just wondering cause like…. I don’t know….”
“Dude you don’t have to worry about a thing! We are going to be the coolest freshmen this school has ever seen! I even got us cool matching sunglasses!” Linguine digs around the room for a second and produces two bright yellow rimmed sunglasses and hands Zenzeroni one.
Zenzeroni fiddles around with them for a second but after seeing Linguine looking at him waiting, Zenzeroni eventually puts them on. “How do they look?”
“Hell fucking yeah!” Linguine puts on his sunglasses and puts up his hands in a surfs up pose. “We are party rocking in this house tonight for sure!”
“ALL FRESHMEN TO THE CAFETERIA FOR THE GREAT FRESHMEN GET TOGETHER. ALL FRESHMEN TO THE CAFETERIA FOR THE GREAT FRESHMEN GET TOGETHER.” A voice from the end of the hall announces through a megaphone.
“Let’s do this!” Linguine grabs Zenzeroni by the noodle arms and drags him down the hallway to the elevator and the cafeteria.
