Jay began to look around the dorm room, the big empty space, minus the two beds and dressers on each side of the room, and their suitcases on each of the beds.
May looked over at hers and walked to it stopping once she got to the bed. Jay noticed and went over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder as he saw a folded note and her bed; picking it up and opening it.
"Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers, signed by Doku."
Jay read out loud and looked at his bed, seeing another folded note. Jay looked at his sister and smiled a bit. "It looks like the same thing."
He said softly before setting the note back on her bed. Jay went to his and began to put his things away, May doing the same. After they were done, Jay looked to his sister and went over to her. "I have our classroom number. Let's go find it." he said as he smiled, May getting up and nodding.
They walked out together and went to the main school building, walking through the halls until they found their classroom. Jay walked in and looked around, giving his sister a smile. "We will be fine. We only have to stay here for a year. Then we can go to Aunt Ambers for the other two years." He told May and she nodded, giving him a smile.
"Awe man, I have this classroom again?" Jay and May heard a feminine voice from the door, turning to see a student in a males uniform with long while hair standing at the door. They saw Jay and May, giving a smile. "Oh, hello." They said as they walked in. "You two must be new! I don't recognize you."
They said as they looked down at May, their purple eyes staring into her blue ones.
Jay put a hand on May's shoulder and gently pulled her back a bit. "Yes, we are first years. I'm Jay, and this is my sister May." Jay introduced them and the students smile only grew.
"It's nice to meet you! My name is Angel Cupidon."
Jay gave a small smile. "What a...pretty name for a pretty girl." Jay told Angel and they just laughed. "Thank you but, I'm a boy."
Jay's face went red and he lowered his head a bit. "I am so sorry!" He exclaimed, making Angel flinch a bit. "It's fine, this happens all the time. My name wasn't my idea, of course. But I guess my hairstyle doesn't really help much."
He said as Jay looked up again. "I guess I could cut it, i'd really look like my dad if I did..." Angel mumbled to himself before shaking his head, holding his hand out.
"Anyway, we are going to be in the same class, might as well be friends!" Angel said with a large smile and Jay reached out for his hand, only to have May slap it.
Jay pulled his hand back and looked at May, seeing her eyes were on Angel. Angel noticed as well, looking at himself. "Oh, I see you noticed." Angel said as he pulled his shirt up a bit, showing off two hatchets in holsters, one of each side of his hips. Jay backed up and pulled May with him. Angel put his hands up. "No, No. I only have these because I'm in a club. I wouldn't dream of using them on a couple of first years."
Angel told them. "I still want to be friends, but I understand if you need space. Come to me if you two need anything." Angel said as he waved, going to leave the classroom.
"Oh, but, they are issuing weapons for you first years, you might want to check it out." Angel said as he left, closing the classroom door.
Jay let out a sigh and rubbed the back of his neck before looking down at May. "Let's go see if they have anything small." Jay said as he took hold of her hand, leaving the classroom. They wandered around for a bit until they found a room with a few students in it. Jay walked in and looked around, seeing tables and bins filled with all kinds of bladed weapons. May walked in after him, going to a sword rack.
Jay followed after her, holding onto her hand. She saw two handles no blades attached. May picked them up and showed them to her brother, Jay taking one and looking at it. "Maybe they broke." Jay said as he handed it back to May. "Oh! Those are cool!" A voice said as May turned around, seeing a girl with long orange hair. "Those are retractable daggers. You just.." She leaned over and pressed a button on one, the blade quickly coming out. May looked at the other and pressed the button on it, the blade doing the same.
"You're real lucky, I heard those are super hard to come by!" She said with a large smile as she held her hand out. The name is Vicky! I'm a first year, too." May looked at her before a moment before shaking her hand, Jay doing the same.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Jay and that is May. If you don't mind my asking, what happened to your eye?" He asked as he pointed to her left eye, that was covered with an eye patch.
"Oh, this? I lost it when I was out on a mission. That's why I'm here!" Vicky exclaimed.
"Anyway, I gotta get going. Bye-Bye!" She said as she ran out of the room. May then looked at Jay, holding them up. Jay hesitated for a moment before nodding a bit, May smiling brightly.
May then walked off, looking for a holster for her new found weapons. As she did, Jay looked around a bit, trying to find something small. As he was looking around, he looked to the door to see Emily and Illaden standing by the it. "How wonderful. I hope everyone is finding everything okay."
Emily said with a large smile as the students in the room turned to her. Emily, seemingly unfazed by it, walked in and looked around, Illaden following her. "Emily, you shouldn't be in this room, of all places."
He told her as Emily inspected the weapons, Illaden glared at the students as he stood beside Emily. "Oh please, love. I think I'll be fine." Emily told him and he sighed. "Need I remind you of your status? And the rule that you put in place?"
Illaden asked her and Emily turned to him, grabbing his face. "Stop your worrying, my darling. With you by my side, ill be just fine." She told him before letting go of him, looking over and seeing May, trying to figure out the belt she got.
Jay noticed too, going over to her and helping to put it in, getting the daggers in place. Emily walked over to them with a smile.
"Aren't you two adorable. You are the Williams, right?" Emily asked and Jay nodded a bit. "How did you know?" He asked her
"I know every student here! I know who is where." Emily took her phone out and checked it before sighing heavily. "And I also know that one of our council members just attacked someone..." Emily said before putting her phone up.
"I thought I made it clear to him that he wasn't to...It doesn't matter." Emily said to herself before looking at the siblings. "Anyway, your sister is mute, right? I can put her in a class where she won't have to worry about much." Emily told Jay and he shook his head a bit.
"Thank you but, I think that we will stay together, if you don't mind." Jay said as he put a hand on May's shoulder. "Of course! Not to worry. I'll notify your teacher about your sisters disability."
Emily told him as she took out her phone again. "Oh, we must be going." She said as she turned quickly, snapping her fingers as she walked. "Come on, Illaden. We have important matters to discuss." Emily said as she walked out of the room, Illaden quickly following after her.
Jay looked down at his sister and gave a smile. "Picture perfect couple, am I right?" He asked and May smiled, sticking out her tongue. After that, they spent the rest of the day mapping out the school, seeing where everything was.
As night time rolled around there was an announcement over the speakers. "Attention all students, a mandatory curfew is place effective immediately. Curfew is 10:00 P.M., no later. Class starts tomorrow, so be ready!" Emily's voice rang over the school before the speakers turned off. May and Jay made their way through the school, going back to their dorm room.
Once they got in, Jay locked the door and checked to make sure no one could get in.
When he turned to face the inside of the room, he saw May with one of the daggers out, bringing one of the blades out and switching hands with it. Jay went over to her and put a hand on her head. "Let's get some sleep. I have a feeling you will get to use those sooner or later."
He said with a small frown as she put it away. They each changed and got into bed before going to sleep, Jay sighed dreading the next day to come.
