Zloy's Pov:
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Waking up to the sounds of your frantic alarm is not the best way to start... it's a horrible way.

And the sun shining on your face, when you just woke up? It all adds to the horribleness. Someone remind me why I leave the curtain...? Oh right, yeah, it's cause I'm going to continue sleeping.

Unfortunately, I can't sleep in, it's Monday after all. But enough thinking or whatever, I guess I do have to go and get up.

I let out a sigh as I finally got up and turned off my alarm. Thank goodness, that beep can sometimes be annoying.

I headed off to the bathroom to get ready for the day. You know like, showering and all that stuff, plus putting on clothes that are supposed to be decent enough for humans.

Let me tell you, the only fun part of getting ready is putting on my goggles. It's the final preparations: putting my goggles on.

Even though Lyarrah says "Goggles aren't cool", I still think they are, so yeah. To anyone who disagrees, I would like to have a very long talk with you. Emphasis on the long!

Goggles. Are. Cool.

And that's a fact. Anyway, I hopped down the stairs, two steps at a time. Why two steps you may ask? Well, it's obviously to save time.

I walked into the kitchen to go and make breakfast. Right, breakfast... um, I guess scrambled eggs with toast would work. Yeah, that'll do.

After making my breakfast and eating it, I cleaned up a little. It was barely anything but you get the idea... Grabbing my stuff (which I had thankfully prepared the day before), I headed out the door. And of course, I locked it behind me.

Well, off to school I go...yay... Please note the sarcasm, I would rather be sleeping than going to school. But for some reason, they made the rules like that, which is very unfair.

"Who in their lunatic minds made the rule that you had to go to school until you were 17," I sarcastically grumble to myself.

Besides, going to school is more like annoying Cleo and not paying attention to class or my teachers. I mean, did you honestly expect me to pay attention to class? Because if you did, you were quite wrong...

And now, I am standing outside the most boring building ever: school. Yep, the place where you are supposed to study and learn new things. There's a catch though, you get to learn but only...only if you pay attention. Which I don't, so um yeah... there's that.

Looking around me, I wait a couple of minutes and try to spot Lyarrah. I'm sure she's around here... somewhere. When I finally spot her, I shout her name to grab her attention. A couple of seconds later, she finally spots me and starts heading towards me.

"Oh, hi Zloy!" Ly chirps. "You'll never guess what's going to happen today!"

"Well, how am I supposed to guess, I just arrived here."

Ly gives me a sly grin, "Well you're not supposed to. But luckily, luck is on your side today and I'm going to tell you." She pauses and stays quiet.

"You are going to tell me, right?" I sceptically ask.

"Well, of course! You've got to pause, you know...dramaticness and all," She replies. "We've got a new student in our class today!"

"Oh, nice!" I say. "What's his name?"

"I believe his name is Jonathan. Though, they also call him Pixl."

"Hm alright, two questions though Ly. Where is he from and most importantly is he alive?"

"Zloy!" Ly shouts, glaring at me disappointedly. She lightly hits me in the arm. "Well, firstly he's British and second of all YOU DON'T ASK PEOPLE IF THEY'RE ALIVE."

I gently rub my arm. "Well, how else am I supposed to find out? Ly, you've got to ask."

"Hmm, I guess so but still. But I guess, fine... you win. I'm not arguing with you," Ly says, rolling her eyes dramatically.

"Yay, but no seriously is he alive or not?"

Ly sighs. "Yes Zloy, he's alive."

"Ah, alright another-"

*Loud bell sounds*

Hearing the bell sound, we both look up. "Well, I guess it's time," I sigh. "Right, Ly?"

"Yup!"

"And to think, I was hoping that the bell would be broken. I mean no bell, means no school...right?"

"I don't think logic works like that, Zloy-" Ly chuckles. "Come on, I'll race you there!"

"Wait, what... Ly wait up!" I shout as I watch her become smaller and smaller till she becomes a tiny speckle in the distance. I follow her.

꒰ Another time skippy brought to you by Jeina ꒱

Somehow and surprisingly, Ly and I were one of the first ones to arrive. Lyarrah, of course, went to her table with some of her friends from Truly Bedrock. She was sitting next to some people who I think were called Tizz and Foxy. Not sure, but it was something along those lines.

Anyway, I was sitting at my table, fooling around to kill time. Not literally killing time but you know, obviously waiting for class to start. When I suddenly heard my name being shouted. I turned around towards the sound of the voice and spotted Cleo.

"Hey, Zloy!" Cleo shouted, giving me a wave. Logically, I waved back. She was sitting at her table, next to some people who I had met before but didn't remember their names.

A couple of minutes had passed and the classroom was now filled up. Wonderful, now all we need is the teacher. Speaking of him, here he is.

"Good morning class. As always, my name is still TinFoilChef but please address me as Mr Foil or TFC," The teacher stated. "We will be having a new student today."

He gave a nod at the door, and the new student walked in. "Class, meet Jonathan. Jonathan, please go and take a seat next to Vladimir."

I mentally groaned. Why! Why did this misfortune have to happen? This was such a misfortune.

Though Ly was right. This new student is alive, huh... He was wearing a blue jacket and grey pants. He was also tall and brunet.

A bit handsome actually. He also looked quite cute and shy. Wait, what? Wait, no I just saw him. I can't be thinking like this already...it's too early!

The sound of the teacher speaking quickly snapped me out of my thoughts. And so I paid attention to what he was saying to stop me from thinking about you know, a certain someone...

"Anyway, today class to get to know each other once again and to refresh your memory, we will be doing some simple activities. These papers on my desk are printed-out cells and you will be partnering up with the classmate next to you," Mr Tin says.

"You may change classmates if you like, but I prefer if you stick with the ones next to you. Your duty will be to colour them and to successfully interact with the other students." The teacher then walked around the classroom, handing out the papers and crayons.

Right so apparently, I'm teaming up with the new student. Fantastic, just great... Well, I guess I have to interact with him. So being the wonderful, but extremely sarcastic person I am, I decided to interact with him. Oh, and to complete the task of course.

"Hello!" I say, somewhat enthusiastically. He looked up at me before quickly looking down and continuing to colour. He refused to answer me. Hmm...this might be more difficult than I thought.

"Hey, I'm Zloy. What's your name?" I ask, trying again.

Again, no answer. I mentally sigh and ask the question two more times. Yet, there was still no answer.

Alright, think Zloy. Wait, what if he's deaf? Yeah, that could be it. I grab a piece of paper and write the question down. I then push it towards him.

But all he did was ignore it. I tried this again and there was still no answer. This happens two more times before I decide I'm through with trying.

"You know what? That's it, I'm packing up my crayons and leaving."

I start to get up when I hear a small, shy voice say, "Wait Zloy! I'll talk now if you want to get me out of my comfort zone."

"Finally!" I cheer, with hints of satisfaction in my voice. So he is shy, I was right. I finally got him to talk, hooray for me! "So what's your name?"

"Jonathan. Though, call me Pixl," He answers. Noticing my confusion on the last part, he adds. "It's short for the nickname, Pixlriffs."

"Ah, alright makes sense. Well, I'm Zloy! And yes, I'm undead."

"What? How is that possible?" He looks confused yet somehow amused at the last part. "Well, um what I meant to say was um... I meant, alright it's nice to meet you, Zloy." He quickly adds.

"Look it's a long story alright?" I chuckle. Why is it that humans always get confused by the undead? Well, I guess it's like Lyarrah says, it's not every day you see the undead. Although technically they do since most people see me every day because of school and all. But I guess if you're unlucky then it applies huh...

"Um, alright."

After that mishap, things went smoothly.

...Maybe a little too smoothly.

But anyway, we both found out that we had a lot of classes together. Almost all the classes were together, except for one or two. Which was suspicious to me, but hey I'm not complaining!

We ended up exchanging phone numbers and all that other stuff. We also became good friends, well um maybe a little bit more than that.

Oh, and you'll never guess what? I ended up discovering that Pixl was gay. And somehow, we may have secretly started dating.

Yeah, just maybe. And no one was surprised either when we finally announced it, it's like they expected that, somehow. Anyway, I think that's all, so that's the end of this story.
