Khalid didn't have a lot of experience with children. It wouldn't have been inaccurate to say he didn't have any experience with children. He'd never had kids of his own, and he felt distinctly unqualified for the position of a dorm parent.
But the school didn't have quite enough people, and he was a responsible adult, and it wasn't like he had a lot of stuff filling up his time anyway.
They'd stuck him in the space of another dorm parent who was getting transferred, let him unpack his stuff, and then stuck him with a list of kids he was responsible for. Well, technically "kids", since the youngest was sixteen, which was more or less an adult.
It was going to be an easy job.
Khalid was in PJ pants and a T-shirt when he finally called the first dorm meeting, leaning up against the wall in the little lounge that everyone on the floor shared. Technically there was a second dorm parent sharing the floor with him, but they weren't there, meaning it was just him and his kids.
