Grange Road Number 6: the first encounter

When I opened the front hostel door, a tall guy came into view. I said hello, smiling, but nothing was said in response!!! That was the first slap in the face, something the likeness of which never happened to me in my first visit. That was very unexpected and humiliating as I was told weeks before my departure that the students residing at Grange Road number 6 were told about my arrival. I did not expect people there to be waiting for me but the thing was that that was some sort of you being rejected when you knew that they had an idea about your coming.
