He squinted his eyes abit before full vision came. He was alone in the vehicle.
"Fuck!?" He cursed once he noticed he slept the whole journey. He didn't even have an idea on the outer surrounding he scratched the back of his head then looked outside. People were with their parents happily being told goodbye. He turned his head abit only to see Dylan's structure. He turned the door and stepped outside. The environment was not so different. This place was obviously near the Madrigal mansion.
"You are awake sleepy head."
"Mmmh" his response was less welcoming .
"Are you okay? Others are with parents and you are here with me?"
"It's normal. They never come." He stated then looked aside.
"Dont you have like friends?" Nice asked.
"No. Who would like to be near a so called murderer? But don't worry I have quite a couple of enemies." He stated as some tall guy with blond hair approached. He was same height as Dylan.
"Hello Daniel." He stated. The guy offered his hand for a shake but instead they pressed each other's fingers.
"Hey"
"This is my cousin. Daniel this is Nice."
"Hey." Daniel stated. The environment was tense. He kind of liked it.
"Hi." He responded forwarding his hand. Daniel held it. A green spirit appeared.
"Interesting." He stated out loud. Dylan pulled his hand off Daniel.
"What? Found a first friend hence possesive?" Daniel asked sarcastically.
"Oops you came." A voice was heard. Another guy beckoned them.
"Hello." He stated turning to Nice.
"Hi." He pulled himself off Dylan to great the guy.
"I'm Adrian." His shadow was also green.
"Excuse me gentlemen." Tiw stated as he pulled Nice from them.
"Okay since you are all here, these aren't regular bracelet. They are written on the families you represent. If people know you are from Madrigal you'll be feared upon as it is believed Dylan was a killer at seven." He stated then handed them the bracelet. Everyone took up one. Okay so here are your keycards. I'll show you how to use them and finally Nice here is a cellphone. If anything happens to your boss like bullying kick the person first and call later. Suspension is easily delt with here with money. If you need anything just call. The rest of you will use him as your head. So work hard. Your scores will determine where you'll be positioned in the end of the year. You'll work as you study. Fast jobs aren't easy so be ready." He stated then walked to Tin who was with the other bodyguard. They walked to their vehicles and went off. The rest carried their bags slowly to their rooms and arranged there stuff.
After several minutes Dylan walked into the room. He had a single huge briefcase. His other properties were already in position as he had stayed here alone for all years.
"Do you just have that little amount of belonging?" He asked as he sat on the neatly made bed. The other was rusty and dusty.
"I'm not rich as long as I have a book everything is okay." He responded as he arranged his uniform in the wardrobe. The other side had about seven pairs.
"We only wear uniforms on specific occasions as told by the school. The rest of the days choose your style." He stated as he arranged the oils and perfumes he carried in the shelves at the bathroom. The area wasn't that small hence best for two. Nice stared at the bracelet for a while then placed it on the desk by his bed. Seconds later Tiw knocked the door and walked in before they both headed out.
"Hey so how was the trip with the royal highness?" He asked as he beckoned him. Then the others begun following.
"Kevin I kind of slept in my boring journey do you have a map for me?" He asked ignoring Tiw's question.
"Already thinking about alcohol?" Tay asked as he walked to them.
"After hard study..." Charlie stated. This now seemed to be turning to a slogan.
"We hard party." They all responded. The walk around was nice. Everything seemed well positioned showing both learning and fun occured. They sat at a table in the cafeteria as four of them went ahead to order food. Then William called.
"Hello pa!" They all shouted amidst their meal.
"Hey my boyz how are you guys?" He asked happily. It was obvious he was excited to hear from them.
"How are people there?" Charlie asked. He was always a people's person and it made him more friendly.
"Perfect. So how's my warrior?"
"Pa, Nick went to military school."
"Won't people there smash him?"
"Some bracelet we were given prevents that." Nice responded.
"Where is yours?" Tay asked looking at his hands.
"He doesn't like jewellery." Pa responded. They chatted for a while before the speaker in the school informed them to head to their classes. Bison and Nice were in the same class. Perfect for them. They only spoke when there was need. Not enemy like but distanced like. Tiw was in Dylan's class. This was pathetic to him but he had to bear it.
Once the two walked in everyone was silent. Then their homeroom teacher begun.
"These are Nice and Bison. They will be joining us for this final lap of the high school journey. So you know they scored a higher GPA than all of you in this class hence know they aren't here just for fun." He stated as the Nice walked to the empty back seat. Bison sat at the front. Well known he was short sighted but never a glasses kind of guy. After an overall tale on the holidays he walked out as some followed. Others remained to catch up with each other. Seconds later, Adrian turned to him with a smile.
"Ooh perfect same class with a bastard." He whispered to himself.
"You know him?" A girl seated beside him asked.
"Just met him." He responded pulling out a stick and his pen knife. Nice's habit on sticks seemingly wasn't ending anytime soon.
"Hello." A voice came. He turned. It was some different guy with a blue band. On it was the name Double heart.
"Hi." He responded still sharpening his stick.
"So you are besties with the murderer?" He asked. Nice stopped sharpening but didn't turn to him. Instead he picked another stick.
When he was eleven the power surge was too much for him hence he had to ask for help. Soon enough he was taken to a monk in the outskirts of the town they lived in. "Keeping your hands busy was the best method of self control." He still has those words in mind.
Then Bison walked to them.
"Please don't disturb him." He stated trying to be courageous. Who placed Nice with this weakling in the same class?
"One is a member of the Madrigals the other is a stick sharpener?!" He shouted as members of the class laughed.
"Henry!" A voice came. It was him. Adrian. At the moment Dylan was there at the door staring at the occurance.
"What?" He asked arrogantly.
"Stay away from him." Adrian responded.
"You aren't my boss."
"Bodyguards are to be are taken to millitary not normal schools." This response hurt. He walked away silently as Dylan clenched his fists. Was Adrian plotting to take the boy from him?
