Highschool is never easy, especially for ninja.

chapter 1: A normal day

Zane is sitting in the library, studying up for a test. Two weeks into the new school year and already Zane had a full plate. He needed to study for physics, had homework for Algebra, Ninjago history, and English 3, then he had to make sure nobody found out that he was a ninja. Did he mention that? Yep, Zane Julien is a ninja. The white ninja. That would be a joke for people to laugh at. Not like anyone was going to find out anytime soon. A group loud voices filled the formerly quiet room. If Zane didn't get himself discovered. His eyes glanced up. Which group is it this time? His thoughts wondered. His mind switching to analysis mode. Football season is already started, they have a game this Friday. That means Cole would be here. Zane pondered on the thought. Cole is a nice guy, his grades aren't terrible but with proper tutoring he could be better. Also he looked good, like REALLY good. Zane looked up, the talking was more quiet, possibly from Sensei Wu. At the other table to the very left was a group of guys, Zane could already see Cole. The black hair that fell to his shoulders, his bangs almost hid his hazel eyes in a dark shadow. Cole had naturally dark skin, which Zane assumed he got from his mom as his dad was a much lighter shade of brown. The football player was looking at Zane and flashed a quick smile to the android. Zane looked back at his text book, feeling the strong blush rush to his cheeks. The bell rang shortly thereafter.

Zane had his ninjago history as first period. It was a rather easy class plus Zane had Lloyd in this class. Lloyd was one of the students he helped out with tutoring math. Lloyd is a good kid but was rather antisocial, Zane was probably the only person he was close to that wasn't family. The two weren't exactly best friends but just really close. Zane lived with Lloyd's uncle, since he had no place to call home after the unfortunate event with his father. They would sometimes hang out at the school's library or the room that Zane had. They weren't related from the whole ordeal, the older man just offered Zane somewhere to live until he could earn enough to live on his own.

Robotics was the next class, which Zane shared with Jay. Jay is loud and energetic student. It often made boring classes enjoyable but would go overboard sometimes. Zane had the occasional interaction with Jay but only if it was a group project or a unlikely pairing. The brown hair boy did great with his work, Zane just disliked how much talking the other wanted to do. This class was also the only class that had somebody who knew about Zane's robotic nature. It was a shock at first but Jay was excited to be helping Zane from wearing down and not just shutting down randomly at school.

Next period was PE, meaning it was the class with Cole in it. Zane liked Cole, on his own ice he was so embarrassed in PE. Some of his artificial skin was old and looked ready to tear. At the beginning of the school year, the coaches assigned partners for workout dates when PE and Athletics would interact, this years Zane got Cole. It was embressing since Cole was rather... flirty when they worked out or that was probably Zane's feelings messing with him. Cole made random comments to Zane, sometimes asking what lotion he used cause his skin was really soft, once Cole mentioned he really liked the white ninja which made Zane blush so red that Cole laughed joking about Zane getting sunburned easily.

The next two classes Zane didn't have anyone important to his data base. Lunch was the one place where Zane would spend tutoring students. Kai would visit for his language art class. That class was easy, Kai often made great grades on some project but Zane had seen his grade cards for it and the only reoccurring problem was Essays. It wasn't a big surprise really, multiple people visited for that exact problem. Zane held a group study for the essay help but Kai usually worked one-on-one with Zane since Kai had work after school and that was usually when Zane helped a multi people tutoring. Also it was easier for the two to work during lunch. Zane didn't eat, not that he needed too, and Kai was great with multi-tasking. The tutoring allowed Zane to see a side of Kai not many people knew of. Past the ego and temper, Kai was just a great person who was trying his best to balance school, work, and his home life.

At the end of the day, in language arts class, Zane runs into Nya. Nya was one of the few people Zane could put trust into with secrets, not his robotic one but more of his crush one. The class they have at the end is Art. A rather easy class, sometimes they did art projects, other times they would discuss about artists and paintings. Nya dud great designs for samurai costumes or the occasional dress and clothes. Zane did pencil sketches of people and made blue prints for robotics.

At the end of the day Zane meets up with Sensei Wu. On Mondays to Thursdays Zane tutors for 30 minutes then helps the older man put up books that were returned at the end of the day. The two would head over to a place called warehouse 15. It isn't an actual warehouse, its a monastery that was renamed warehouse 15. That's where Zane lived with Sensei Wu, he also trained their as the white ninja. It wasn't too far away from Ninjago city, a ten minute drive really.

That was a normal day for Zane.
