Rain In His Eyes (A Jaspar AU)

Chapter One: Welcome To Seattle

Caspar:

Plane rides make me sick. I don't know why, or how, but they do. And now I'm on a 13 hour flight to Seattle Washington to attend a prestigious boarding school that I really don't want to go to. To make matters worse, the guy next to me won't close the window and won't stop humming. Oh great. Now he's singing. Something about a happy little pill I think. Can he not? I grunt and sit back.

"Hey, dude, can you like not sing please?"

The boy turns to me and greets me.

"Hi, I'm Troye, with an e, whats yours mate?" He answered back.

"My name's Caspar."

He turned back to the window and starts to hum once again.

"You must be really into singing. So why are you headed to Seattle?" I asked.

"My mum is sending me to a boarding school that my dad works at. What about you?"

I turn to Troye. Now he's on about gasoline. I laugh and respond.

"Long story short? I had to choose between Seattle and Singapore. So. What boarding school?"

Troye turned to face me, smiling.

"Oh. You know. Rainy Days School For The Gifted."

I looked at him in shock. He seemed to realize my surprise.

"Was it something I said?"

I shook my head.

"No. But I'm headed there too."

He laughed.

"Well then. Want me to fill you in? And what year are you?"

"I'm in my senior year."

I popped a piece of gum into my mouth and nodded. Troye started.

"Well first off, my dads the principal. And my best friends mom is the vice. They keep trying to get us together. And then my younger brother Tyde,"

Troye pointed at his brother across the aisle.

"And his girlfriend Angie,"

The girl waved.

"And her sister Aura,"

The other girl waved.

"Are all in the year below us."

"Ok. Great to know. So do you know anyone i should stay clear of or people I should talk to?"

"Well there are the normal bad boys, but the one you want to stay away from in definitely is Joe Sugg he messes with everyone, teachers, my dad, the vice, and other students."

"Ok. People i should talk to?" I ask.

"Well you can join me and my friends if you'd like. Ok so theres Tyler, Connor, Marcus, Naomi, Hannah, Mamrie, Ingrid, and Grace."

"Are you popular or something? Thats so many people!" I said.

"I guess you could call us that but i don't believe we are." He answers.

"So do you like the boy your dad is trying to get you together with?"

Troye looks conflicted. He scratches his arm and fixes his quiff.

"It's complicated. See, there's a person I left out. Korey. He's Tyler's best friend. Besides me. And Tyler, Tyler is like family. Plus I think Tyler likes Korey."

I look shocked. This guy went from 0 to nervous in 4.5 seconds. He shakes his head.

"Anyway. There's the other people. Joe's group. Angie and Aura flit around from group to group, so they could tell you more, but here's the basics. Joe hangs around Ricky Dillon, Kian, JC and his girlfriend, well we think anyway, Lia. Jack and Finn are like A2."
