The Spook Origins

Vacation Days Part 3

"you can take a seat next to mister parker"

"Thanks", I said heading over. Taking a seat I got a glare from y/n which brought some form of glee for me. Guy has been pissing me off since I got here.

"I thought we agreed you would stay at the house. how did you even get into the school?", y/n said.

"First off I didn't agree to that and second May helped enroll me here. Thought it was a good idea I went? like hell"

"*sigh* just make sure not to hurt someone"

"No promises", I said with a chuckle. Felt nice to be the one annoying him this time. Just wish he would take this more seriously. Though one thing kept going through my head though. What energy was No Name speaking of? looking at my hand I remembered the first time I learned about my new power. How far could I go with it?

"Mister Reacher, perhaps you could answer the question", the teacher said, knocking me out of my thoughts.

"I'm sorry what?"

"I know it's your first day here mister Reacher but do try to pay attention. I was wondering if anyone knew who is considered the found of the byzantine empire"

"That would be Constantine the 1st, with many more to follow. Also one of the first emperors to change his faith to Christianity and even ending the years long persecution of Christianity and it's believers beginning the religions rise to power in the empire"

"Very good mister Reacher and also a friendly reminder to have your permission slips signed for the upcoming trip to Europe. Now moving on", he said before continuing on with the lesson. Leaning back I listened to the rest but saw y/n staring at me with Peter.

"What?"

"How'd you know that?", y/n asked genuinely impressed.

"I'll admit, you don't really seem like a history guy", Peter commented. I just glared at him before answering.

"I might not be good at science but I do love history. Anything about it fascinates me. That it be American history or world history. My dad was....nevermind", I said, having a memory flash through my mind. y/n picked up on my hesitance to talk about my dad.

The before mentioned memory I was having was the first time my dad took me to a museum. It was the metropolitan museum or nicknamed "the met". Seeing the different art pieces from all over the world made me fall in love with history. Especially the armory part of the museum that showed off weapons and armor from Europe and Japan. Actually got me more interested in Japanese history too. It was a happy memory of a better time.

"So, guess you have some kind of child trauma going on", y/n says crossing a line.

"Don't push it", I said glaring at him in anger. He held his hands up backing off as I focused back on the lesson. The rest of the day came and went until we got to lunch which was the first time I wished there wasn't a lunch period.

"Emo y/n!"

"I swear I'm about to break something"

Me, y/n, and peter were sitting at a lunch table together before the Mary Janes walked by. Peter and y/n were having a nice conversation while I was just keeping to myself. Now I have to deal with this shit again because they decided to sit down with us. Apparently they wanted to know more about my universe with Gloria flirting again. Her flirting had nothing on Felicia's though. She could say things that would make a nun blush.

"how big...."

"Enough out of you!", I said, cutting Gloria off. Didn't need to be a psychic to know what she was about to ask.
