At Ninjago Academy, a bus had stopped in front of the gates before the students start exiting, including Jay, Zane, Cole and LJ. "I'm not so sure about this." LJ said as they walk along.

"Well, you look like a teenager now." Cole replied. "People are gonna ask questions if you're not in school."

"I just hope they like me here. Last school I was in, they didn't."

"Trust us, this is not as bad as Darkley's." Zane said.

"You do remember the name you're under when you attend Ninjago Academy, right?" Jay asked.

"Montgomery Wilson." LJ replied.

Kai and Nya soon came up to them. "Hey, guys." Nya said.

"Uh, hey, Nya." Jay replied.

"So, how is the new student liking this place, as a student?" Kai asked.

"I haven't really been here long enough to wonder if I like it or not." LJ replied. "I mean, I only seen it as a visitor."

"Oh, right." They soon head inside.

In the hallway, the Rangers head in as some of the girls see them enter, mostly looking at LJ. "Ooh, who's that new guy?" One of them asked.

"I don't know, but he is positively cute." Another girl replied as they came up to their lockers with LJ's assigned next to Jay's.

A young girl then turned to Aseey. "Hey, I think you should ask him out to the Winter Dance." She said.

"Um, I'm not sure, I mean, he's a new guy, and I don't want to disturb him." She replied.

"Well, if you don't, I'll go."

"Oh, okay." Aseey starts heading over to the Rangers.

"Our classroom is just right over there." Kai said to LJ, pointing to their classroom before turning to the others. "I think Miss Fortis is back from her maternity leave."

"So, what kind of person is she?" Jay asked as they start moving to the classroom while Nya went into hers while LJ was still setting his locker up, putting a photo of his younger version with the others.

He soon placed his bag and all his books into the locker before closing it as Aseey came up to him. "Uh, hi, um, I thought I might-" She cut herself off when she saw LJ's face. "LJ?"

LJ shushes her. "Sorry, but, the other students don't know it's me." He whispered. "They think I'm Montgomery Wilson."

"Montgomery Wilson?"

"Yeah. And it's a long story why I am like this."

"Maybe you can tell me over lunch, if you like."

"Um, okay then."

"And the academy's Winter Dance is on, if you want to be my date."

"Um, sure thing." He soon walked away, feeling awkward as Aseey turned to her friend and gave her a thumbs up, causing her to smile.

In the boys' classroom, LJ exhaled a little before sitting down with Kai, Jay, Zane and Cole, who see him blushing. "What's got you so cheery?" Kai asked.

"Remember Aseey?" He asked as he took off his beanie.

"Yeah, the girl from the park." Jay replied.
