unOrdinary-Year Restart! (Jarlo)

School Start

    "Hurry up Arlo," she yells,"or you'll be late!"
    "Coming Mom," with a groan I roll out of bed and slipped my shirt over the carefully sculpted body I'd created over the summer. I slip on my shoes and stretch my muscular legs, all that training paid off. After eating a quick breakfast, and saying my goodbyes, I grab my stuff, and head toward the subway.
    Many people file on and I find myself standing next to a boy about my age. Turning to get a better look, I noticed his uniform is the same as mine.
    "You going to Wellston too?," I ask trying to start a conversation.
    "Yea, I just transferred as a second year," he replies as he holds out his hand, "My names John."
    "Arlo," I reply.
    on the ride there I learned a lot about him. John was home-schooled, and is trying his luck at a private school. I also learned that he plans on living outside of the school dormitories, instead, he chose to live in a small housing department nearby. When we arrive, we both walk towards the school. Once there, we part ways, as I still need to go to the dorms. as I walk I wonder why I talk to that kid in the first place. I'm not usually talkative, and his hair bugged me. It was greasy as f-. My thoughts stop as I bump into Isen. Dropping his papers everywhere, he starts cussing, and I helped him pick them up.
    "I didn't know you were in a god mood today!," he says surprised.
    "Yea, well I need a favor," I retort. He smirks.
    "Shoda known, what does the king need now?" He bows.
    "There's a new student transferring to your class. His name is John. Something is off about him."
    "Ohh~" Isen smirks, "is your gay side pleased with his appearance? I can play Cupid if you like~"
    "Can it," I snap,"Yes, we both know I'm gay, but Rei is gone so you can stop now. However, we both know you have a crush on Blyke, and I'm pretty sure you don't want that to get out."
    "Ok fine," he mumbled, his face red.
    "Send me anything you find."
    "Shure thing," he salutes me and marches off. Sighing, I shake my head. Suddenly, Blyke walks up to me with a huge grin on his face.
    "Hey! I've got a couple of things to tell you!" he exclaims.
    "Not the other monkey," I sigh, "What is it?"
    "Ok, first off, I got a dorm all to myself. And secondly," he wispers in my ear,"Over the summer I realized I'm bisexual."
    "Not Shure why you'd tell me that," I answered with a raised eyebrow.
    "Well," he sighs," because my family doesn't understand, and I can't confessed the dude who made me realize this, so that just leaves you. And I can't hold this in any longer."
    "Ok," I respond. My mind is spinning, "I can't confess to the dude who made me realize this", "I can't confess to the dude you made me realize this", did that mean-!
    "We'll see you later!" He waved, and turns and walks away.

    Later that night, I got a text from Isen:"That John dude is just a home-schooled cripple. Not sure what you see in him." That can't be right I thought, John didn't act like a cripple. So I text back:"Not sure that's the truth. Mind doing some research?" He replys:"It's kind of late, I'd rather not." Smiling I text back:"That wasn't a request Isen." I look out the window for a second, lost in thought. Turning back to my phone, I text Blyke: "Hey your not the only one who got a dorm to themselves. Also, I was thinking about earlier. What did you mean by I can't confess to the dude who made me realize this? Do you like Isen?" Within seconds I receive a reply:"How- nevermind. I do but please don't tell him. Goodnight." Smiling, I read Blykes reply and think of the irony.

    The next morning I get a text from Isen:"Hey meet with me after school I have your information on John. Also have you seen the news lately?" Curious, I turn on the TV, and I'm shocked. Ember has been attacking more people than normal. And even more disturbing there's another group not out for superheroes but for just high tiers in general. But the most shocking thing of all, is that they're in our area in fact there were several attacks blocks away from the school within this week. I decide I will talk to the principal later about these things and how we are going to solve them I am the king after all, and it is my job to help the school.

After class I text Isen telling him I will see him in a bit I just have something to do first. As I approach the office, I hear angry voices. I recognize the principal's, but not the other one.
    "I refuse to move to move to the dorms! I separated for a reason. I will not move in with one of those snobs."
    "Yes you will," the principal replies," this is for your own good, all of the most recent attacks have been in your neighborhood. You need to be protected as they might come after you next."
    "I refuse especially if I have to room with him!"
    "Listen I know you might not like this," by this point the principal sounds quite exasperated, "I know you are trying to avoid what happened at your old school, but for your own safety, the mater is settled, you are staying here and you will share a dorm with Arlo."
    Hearing that startled me. Who and why on Earth was the principal making me room with someone?
    "I Refuse, mabey you think he will be a good influence, but seriously! That pompus jerk of all people!"
    "John, the matter is settled, pack your things and get ready to move. You will be moved this afternoon. Now good day." John slams the door open and brushes past like I don't exist. While he storms off I'm just processing the principal's last statement. John, John of all people was being moved to my dorm!? As I just stood there surprised, the principal asked me into his office.
    "Arlo, I assume you've heard the news?" he asks. I nod and he continues,"because we are worried about our students and John is so far not living in the dorms, you've decided since you have an empty bedroom in your dorm, and because you are a good influence, John will move in with you. That okay?" he says. I nod again.
    "Well I guess that's it you may go now." I walk out of the office lost in thought. As I reach Isen, he looked me dead in the eye.
    "Arlo, you were right, there is more to John, but your not gonna like it."
