AHHH!

OH MY GOD  IT'S TOM LUCITOR!

HE'S ACTUALLY HERE!

I THOUGHT IT WAS A RUMOR!

HE'S SO HANDSOME!

Tom walked up to the principal while scratching the back of his neck. He did his best to stay calm amongst the shouting.

"Ah Tom Lucitor, it's a pleasure having you join Villa Heights this year. I'm Mr. Skeeves" Tom shook his hand.

"It's an honor to be here sir." He gave his best smile.

Mr. Skeeves spoke to the students. "Ok everyone settle down settle down." Once the noise went down, he continued.

"Mr. Lucitor here will be treated as a fellow student at this academy. I don't wanna see any crowds formed or you will receive detention. We want to make sure his stay here is memorable.

Now, if you haven't received your schedule or books, go do it now. Otherwise you wait to be dismissed by the bell. We start first thing tomorrow," he spoke sternly.

Students started leaving the gym. Tom couldn't stop staring in awe at the amount of students passing by him. It amazed him how there were different diversities, different styles despite the uniforms.

So this is what a school is.

"Mr. Lucitor." Tom brought his attention back to Mr. Skeeves. Next to him was a student that had brown hair, a mole under his eye and wore a red hoodie on top of his uniform.

"Tom, this is one of our top students, Marco Diaz. He will be your mentor and guide while helping you adjust to the school." He looked at his watch. "Well I must be off, staff meeting. Once again Tom, welcome to Villa Heights Academy." He walked off in a hurry.

By now, the gym was fully empty except for the two. Marco was the first to speak. "I'm Marco."

"Tom." They shook hands.

"Oh I know. Top youngest model and heartthrob to the ladies."

"Well, I wouldn't say heartthrob..." he awkwardly laughed.

"Sure...." He crossed his arms, smirking.

He seems nice.

"So what brings you here to Villa Heights?" Marco asked. They began their tour, starting off with Marco showing Tom all of the classes and halls first.

Every now and then Tom would be asked to sign an autograph or take a picture, which he didn't mind. He loved interacting with his fans unlike some celebrities.

"I wanted to try something new you know, get out of my comfort zone."

Marco raised a brow, "So you decided to go to school?"

"Well when you put it that way-"

"Yo Janna, you tryna get some tonight?" A herd of laughter followed after.

"Fuck off dingus," a girl said raising her finger up. The two boys looked at where the commotion was from.

"Who's that?" Tom asked.

"That's," Marco replied, "-Justin and Janna. They kinda had a thing last year but Justin spread a pretty bad rumor about her. I swear his ego's too big for his head."

Tom furrowed his brows in confusion. Janna? Where have I heard that name before?

Janna, looking unbothered by the confrontation passed by the two. Janna gave Marco a head nod to which he responded with one as well.

"You guys know each other?" he asked curiously.

Marco shrugged. "In a way." The bell rang signalling the end of the first day. "That's the bell. We better get going to the dorms but get your things and I'll meet you there. Later man." He left without a response.

Tom spent his time getting to his car. He wanted to enjoy the scenery of what would be his view for the next year. He still couldn't believe he was here. It was just like he imagined it would  be.

The people seemed nice...well except that Justin guy. Tom could already tell he would be an issue. And Janna, something was off about her.

Do I know her from somewhere? Have I seen her before? I'm probably imagining stuff but at the same time I don't think I am.

He reached his car, got his bags and headed to the dorms.
