[i]Thump. Thump. Thump. [/i]

His heartbeat hammered through his head, sounding like a bass drum mercilessly beaten right next to his head.

The incessant pounding in his head finally caused Dylan to stir from his bed, his eyes groggily noticing the narrow cracks of sunlight breaking through the thin slits between the blinds hanging over an inconveniently placed, sunward-facing direction allowing the full force of the rising sun to destroy his sleep. He would have to do something about blacking that window out. He dragged himself out of bed, noticing he was still rather early for waking up for school sober but he'd have to work on getting rid of the hangover that was pestering him. Whilst not his worst by a country mile, it was still something that shouldn't be around for hist first day of a new school but hey it hadn't been his choice to move schools and countries. 

A rather careful stumble to the shower yielded a revitalizing result, suddenly he felt less filthy and more awake yet the headache and slight weakness to light remained, something that would simply fade as the day went by and water was consumed. A quick glance to the mirror revealed his eyes had developed some rather large shadows and his eyes still a touch cloudy yet by the time school was around they'd be clear and he'd simply look like he'd slept badly. He took no chances once he got back to his dorm though, knocking back two berocca tablets to give him a little boost with a tentative nibble on some toast for breaskfast and filling his rather oversized waterbottle to the brim with the solution to his hangover problems. 

Spending a few moments to take in the somewhat formal blazer, trouser, tie and collared shirt laid out in front of him, he knew that he and this uniform were not going to get along today, the thought of a constrictive tie overwhelmed any notions of appearance. Getting into the uniform took a hardly any time, he even managed to keep it relatively neat as he packed his school bag with his laptop, notepad and stationary but in order to make the perilous trek from the dormitories to the main hall in the full force of the sun, he grabbed his pair of ray-ban sunnies from the desk. As he stepped outside the dormitory building, slipping between knolls of students form every corner of the globe, he slipped his sunnies over his eyes and immediately stopped wincing and strolled over to his first class, making a point of avoiding human contact, all the while sipping water. Once he found the room he slumped into a seat, disregarding the people around him and made a show of being relatively ready for a class all the while wondering how boring the people here would be. His timetable said he had some psychology unit, he hadn't want to take it but his dad had suggested a little bit of understanding about how the human mind works wouldn't go astray so here he was stuck facing down a boring lesson.
