TOMMY POV -

The school was fucking huge.

It had large stone walls that towered up five storeys and it had massive turrets and this leafy green shit crawling up the walls.
The short kid, bee boy, (I didn't know his real name) audibly gasped as his eyes widened. I rolled my eyes, sure the school was cool but it wasn't that cool.

We were both lead in the direction of a large office building and I made point of glaring at everyone and anyone who passed us. Some of them looked offended, but did I give a shit? No. It was their own fault, they're the ones who had the audacity to walk past me.

Me and Bee Boy stopped outside of the principle's office. There was already a kid sitting outside. Holy shit he was tall. Taller than me. That really annoyed me.

The guy had half black and half white hair and that thing where your eyes are two different colours. (Heterochromia) One of his eyes was a bright vivid green and the other was a blood red. It's was kinda creepy but at the same time it was cool. He sort of reminded me of an enderman from Minecraft, I don't know why.

Bee Boy and I sat in the spare chairs and the guards left, leaving us in silence.

Then the principle called out my name.
"Tommy Minecraft?"

I walked into the office, ignoring as Bee Boy and Ender Boy both looked up at me.

A tall woman with curly white hair was sitting at the desk, staring at a computer to her right. My eyes scanned the name plate at the front of the desk, it read 'Principle Puffy'. I snorted with laughter and she looked up and raised an eyebrow.
"I assume you're Tommy?" She asked, gesturing for me to sit in the chair opposite her.

I sat down and nodded. All of a sudden I didn't want to talk. I'd been putting on a confident face ever since the police had arrested me but the truth was I was scared. So I didn't open my mouth because if I did I'd probably start crying or vomit.

"So, basically I just wanted to meet you, I do this with all new students. I also am aware that one of the teachers here, Philza Minecraft is your father. Don't expect special treatment. But I also want you to know that at this school we don't judge people for their past mistakes," She smiled kindly at me and I fought the urge to roll my eyes. When she realised that I wasn't going to respond she sighed.
"Alright then, I'll just call your roommate up. You'll be sharing a room with him and then a kitchen with four other students,"

I ignored her.

She sighed again and called her secretary and told her to call my roommate up to the office.

💿Time Skip💿

My roommate, Jack, was nice enough. He was pretty funny so I knew we'd get along but he seemed to constantly be hungry and had the random ability to pull a fucking burger out of his school back at anytime he was hungry.

He showed me the dorms and it was boring.

I was sat on my bed, scrolling through twitter when there was a knock on my door.
"Come in," I said, not bothering to look up. I heard the door open and close.

"Tommy, long time no see," A deep voice said. My head snapped up and my eyes widened. Wilbur was standing at the end of my bed, wearing the schools ugly ass uniform. His brown hair was half covering his face and he looked tired.

"Wilbur?" I breathed, slowly standing up, shocked. My brother was standing here. The brother I'd lost last year to this dumb school. He wasn't even the first brother of mine who was here as well. My eldest brother, Techno had started going here a few months before Wilbur and around the same time that my dad started teaching here.

"Holy fucking shit man! You're actually here!" I ran over and hugged him, I felt tears welling in my eyes. Out of everyone in my family, I'd always been closest with Wilbur, I'd participated in all of his stupid revolutions and whatnot and he'd gotten me in so much trouble but he was still my best friend.

"I bet mum's not happy, now all three of her kids go here and her husband works here. Not exactly ideal," Wilbur laughed, pushing me away from him. I stood back and wiped my eyes, also laughing.
"Yeah she was pissed," I paused, looking up at Wilbur who looked so composed, so casual, it was kinda intimidating. "Hey, Will, where's Techno?" I asked. Wilbur's face turned sour.

"Don't talk to me about Techno. That bitch fucking acted like I wasn't his brother when I arrived here. He'll probably do the same to you. Y'know he's already turned fucking American?! Accent and everything!," Wilbur's voice was full of venom and I felt slightly hurt. I'd always looked up to Techno. He was the badass big brother. I really hoped he wouldn't ignore me.

"TommyInnit, can I show you something?" Wilbur walked towards the door and I followed him, smiling at the nickname he'd given to me when we were kids because whenever someone said 'what's your name' I'd always respond with 'It's Tommy, innit,"

I followed Wilbur through the dorm block and towards an unfamiliar door. He lead me inside and I gasped. The walls were decorated with paintings of a large flag and words were carved into the spare parts of wall. There was one bed in the corner and a desk in the other which was covered in paper and blue prints.

All the curtains in the room where closed and the only light source was a small lamp on the desk.
"Is...is this..." I stepped further into Wilbur's room, shocked. Wilbur laughed from behind me. I recognised the flag. It was the flag of the imaginary nation that Wilbur and I invented as kids, when we were playing Minecraft.
"That's right TommyInnit," Wilbur opened his arms wide and span around in the middle of the room. "Welcome to L'Manberg!"

Oh shit. This was not good. Wilbur had brought an imaginary nation to life.

"Tommy did you know that they're holding elections for student body president soon," He asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. I shook my head, lost for words. Wilbur gave me a power hungry smile, a crazy glint in his eyes.
"Tommy, I want you to run with me, as my Vice President. TommyInnit I'm going to bring L'Manberg to life!"

What. The. Fuck.

What was I going to do?
