Nintendo High: Junior Year

Empress

The phone alarm was going off next to Neo. Half asleep, he moaned as he tried to shut the noise off to get more Z's. But he was unable to reach to it as he placed it near the table. Finally waking up, he went over to turn the phone off and stretched. As he got up, he could see Krystal, Alaria, and Loona already left this early morning. He even got a text from Krystal after looking at his phone when he stopped the alarm. He didn't mind as he was going to see her again anyway.

"Oh. Morning Neo. Was that your phone?" Audrey asked as she was already up making breakfast.

"Yes. Sorry about that. It's to make sure I get myself up." Neo explained as he rubbed his eyes.

"It's fine. Oh!" Audrey felt her pregnant belly as the baby was kicking once more. Neo can clearly see the bags under eyes. Most likely she wasn't able to get any sleep last night due to her late pregnancy.

"You ok?" Neo asked.

"Yes. This baby is not giving me a break." Audrey answered after the pain stopped.

"When is the due date?"

"Possibly in a week. But I do wish it would be now. I don't care how."

"Sorry."

"Don't be." Audrey was getting the breakfast almost done after the sudden kick. As she was finishing, she looked at Neo. "Can you get Stan? My best guess is he's been playing his Playstation all night again."

Neo chuckled. "I bet. Ok I'll do it. Anything else to help?"

"See if Rox is coming with my meds."

Neo nodded and went upstairs to find Stan. He passed by Rox who was already getting Audrey's meds for her pregnancy pain. They said their hello and Neo continued upward to find Stan. He knocked the door several times to get Stan. No answer. He opened the door to see Stan laying on the carpet with his PS5 controller and the game still running. He shook his head before walking over.

"HEY! WAKE UP!"

Stan jolted up. "ALL HANDS TO THE FRONT LINE!!!"

Neo just watched as Stan was looking around after being fully awake. Neo just sighed. "Your mom was right. You did spend all night on it. Didn't you?"

"Well I am close to finishing Hogwarts Legacy. The game is so good that I couldn't stop playing it." Stan said as he rubbed his eyes.

Neo could see that his eyes were red. "Jesus. Your eyes are so bad. You can't keep doing this."

"Don't tell he what to..." Stan instantly fell asleep after wards. Neo tapped him to wake up. Stan rubbed his eyes again after opening them again. "I love the game. So what?"

"You keep this up, your grades will go bad."

Stan looked a bit annoyed. Neo didn't understand why he would act like this. But after Audrey called them, Stan finally turned off his PS5 and got ready for school. The boys made it downstairs as Audrey got flapjacks ready for them. Stan was able to eat, but his mother looked annoyed. Neo just ignored them as he continued eating.

Right now a lot was going on his mind. First, Nintendo High is going through quick changes which could get everyone except first party removed. The other is the cult that has been causing unrest within the city. But as of now, the school thing was mostly on his mind. Will Isabelle save them? Or will they be forced to another school, which were horrible in comparison. As he was in his train of thoughts, Dasha came by with the mail.

"Mail's here. And it looks like Stan has 3 envelopes from someone." Dasha said as she handed to them.

Neo's nose picked up a familiar scent. His mood turned sour. "Oh god. Throw the three away. It's Minerva Mink."
