Chapter 2: New Friends

 "Techno are you ready!?" Wilbur called out to his brother,

It had been about 8 months since Technoblade had begun living with Phil, Wilbur and Tommy. He and Wilbur shared a room while Tommy had his own since he was still just a baby. They learned that Technoblade was two years younger than Wilbur. He had been born to a human family, but his family was killed by a group of piglins and some humans had found him lost in the nether and taken him to a lab where they performed experiments on him with piglin DNA to make him how he is now and study him. After they decided they were done with him, they had put him in that box and left him in an area where they assumed no one would find him and left him to die.

Today was his first day at school. Phil decided to wait for the new school year to begin to make the transition into school life a little easier. Even though Techno was two years younger than Wilbur, he was put into the same classes. Techno was very intelligent since he was raised by mad scientists.

"I'm coming." Techno said. His voice was more raspy and monotone than most children his age.

Techno walked to school with Wilbur and when they got there, they began noticing the other children staring. Not only was Techno a new kid at school but he also looked completely different to the other students. Wilbur noticed Techno tense up under the sight of all the children and took his brother's hand to comfort him.

When they walked into their homeroom, Wilbur let Techno choose where they sat. He took a seat at the back corner table and Wil sat right next to him. As students began to fill the classroom, they'd take a look and Techno and whisper amongst themselves before deciding to sit at a different table. Wilbur noticed Techno looking sad and squeezed his hand a bit for reassurance and began to feel a little angry at the idea that people were refusing to sit with them because Techno was different.

The classroom was almost full when the teacher walked in.

"Hello class, my name is Mr. James." he said with a wide smile, "I'll be your homeroom teacher as well as your math teacher." The teacher, Mr.James picked up a clipboard off of his desk and glanced back and forth between it and the class, "I see we're not all here yet, so I'll wait to explain how this school works to the new students until everyone else gets here. Until then, we can start roll call!"

Mr.James began reading off the names of each student and marked down when students were here, a few trickling in during it. He'd also call out students who were new to the school and welcome them. When he got to Wilbur and Techno, he called Wilburs name first. They were family so their names were next to each other and since Wilbur was older, his name went first.

"Next we have... Wilbur?"

"Present!" Wilbur let go of Techno's hand to stand up and announced with a smile

"Wow! You have a lot of energy and excitement for a kid on their first day of school!" Mr.James said with a chuckle, "I see you've come to this school for a few years now! Maybe you can help show the new kids around and help them transition easier!"

Wilbur smiled and shook his head in enthusiasm and Techno went red in embarrassment that his brother was so happy and lively while he was quiet and shy.

"And next we have..." Mr.James paused for a moment, looking at his clipboard puzzled at Techno's name, "Technoblade, are you here?"

"Present..." Techno said, sinking further into his seat.

The class rumbled in small giggles and through all of it one of the children whispered, "What a weirdo..."

Techno pulled his knees into his chest, curling up in his chair and began tearing up while hiding his face. The way Techno was positioned reminded Wil of the day when they found him in that box and he glared at the student that made the remark and began to hold onto his brother's hand again.

"Hey! Stop it! Don't be rude to your fellow students!" Mr.James called out, "I think your name is really cool, it sounds like the name of a king!"

Techno looked up from where he was hiding his face in shock at the positive feedback on his name and Wilbur smiled. And then roll call resumed.

"Okay, it seems most everyone who wasn't here before, walked in during roll call. The only one's we're missing are two transfer students from America and the student they're staying with.

At that moment, down the hallway, there was roaring laughter and someone yelled "George! That hurt!"

The cause of the noise walked into the class with laughter still coming from them, but more calm and quiet. Three boys walked in. One with short black hair wearing a blue t-shirt and black jeans, one was wearing a white t-shirt and black jeans with a white strip of fabric around his head, his brown hair hanging over it just a little, and the last one, who seemed to be the loudest of the three based on their laughter, had medium length blonde hair that hung down, coving part of his face, green eyes, freckles and was wearing a bright green hoodie and blue jeans.

"So I assume you're Nick, George and Clay?"

The three boys nodded at their teacher.

"Could you close the door behind you and come up in front of the class for a moment please." Mr.James said, and the boys obeyed. The laughter had stopped and the smiles were wiped off their faces. They thought they were going to be scolded in front of the class for being so loud and interrupting and it seemed that the other students thought the same way by way they quietly giggled and whispered amongst themselves. "So class," Mr.James continued, "these are our transfer students from America, why don't you introduce yourselves."

The boys smiled at the relief that they weren't being scolded.

"Okay I'll go first!" the boy in the blue spoke up, "my name is George, I'm not a transfer student, you can tell by my accent!" he said with a smile, making the students and teacher giggle a bit, "My parents are giving these guys a place to live because their families are working in Europe but they're always traveling so they needed a place to live and go to school. So they live with me!"

"Hello! My name is Clay but call me Dream!" the boy in the green hoodie spoke up after George, "It's kinda weird but that's just the name I use!" Techno's head perked up after hearing he wasn't the only one with an odd name.

"I'm Nick! But call me Sapnap! I know it's weird but I like it!" the boy in the white tightened the fabric around his head with a proud smile. "Me and Dream are a little younger than you guys but we're in your class because we're really smart!"

Techno and Wil smiled, realizing how much Techno had in common with these boys. They were told to sit and they happily chose the table with Techno and Wilbur which surprised everyone.

"They brought up something good! Does anyone else in class have any nicknames they'd prefer to use? I'll write them down and let the other teachers know as well. If you do, just raise your hand and when I call on you, let me know!"

A few kids raised their hands. The first was a girl, her name is Nikita but she goes by Nikki, then there was Alastair who goes by Eret and Floris who goes by Fundy. Techno raised his hand as well, "I'm Technoblade but just call me Techno please." he said quietly.

"Woah!" Sapnap yelled out, "Your name is Technoblade!? That's so cool!" he said enthusiastically. George and Dream nodded with wide smiles as well.
