Lets just start the story, i don't wanna fall on a rock again...or fall into a hole.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!!
The sound that the alarm makes irritates a boy who was under his blanket, trying to cover the annoying sound so it will be less annoying, but that backfired. He pulls his covers away to reveal a irritated yet tiresome blue feline that looks like a eleven year old with a shade of black covering above his oval shaped orange nose and his extremely pointy ears, the fur around his eyes weren't covered by black, it was blue, the leftover blue fur reached below his eyes and made it to his cheeks. His eyes were closed while his teeth was clenching in irritation, the feline was seen wearing a plain white vest with black shorts, revealing his white furred paws and feet.
"Why won't you stop..." The feline complained before snatching the noisy alarm, he examines it with his tired eyes before throwing it to a wall.
The feline stood up, revealing his height that's already surpassed most of the students in his old school. He rubbed his eyes to reveal his hazel colored eyes even though he still has that small black rings below his eyes. He scratches his messy hair before walking to his personal bathroom which his bedroom has.
The feline looked at the mirror, thinking to himself about everything. For a minute he was spacing out, then he snapped to reality as he hurried to wash his face and brush his teeth. After he'd done that, he grabbed a comb and combs his hair until it's nice and well. The face wash had washed the black rings on his eyes away, as well as his sleepiness.
He comes back and hurriedly put on a white T-shirt and a pair of black jeans, then he snatch his black jacket and quickly put it on. The feline sighed while trying to feel prepared for his first day at school. In Elmore.
"Thunder, Breakfast is ready!" A masculine voice spoke to the feline known as Thunder.
"Coming!" Thunder replied before grabbing his yellow and blue backpack. He walks out from his room and stepped his feet on the stairs, he stopped for a bit before continuing going downstairs.
"Waffles with chocolate syrup, your favorite," A man with the same species Thunder is, stated to him. His butler suit made him look like a butler clearly, the felines hair was a slick type that goes backwards and has reached his neck.
"Thanks, Rag," Thunder thanked the man known as Rag as he sat down on chair near the table.
"Hope you would make friends," Rag hoped while drying a glass cup.
"Lets just hope i won't be in any trouble," Thunder retorted weakly while biting a part of his waffles.
"Hey, look, it's your first day, the teachers will be nice to you aswell as the students, maybe you'll be the most popular in school," Rag convinced while smiling cheerfully, "Now finish up your breakfast."
Thunder had already finished their breakfast, he stood up, put his bag on his back and walked over to the front door. He was going to turn the handle to open the door, but a huge part of him stops him from doing that.
"Rag...can you bring me to school by car?" Thunder requested nervously, which made Rag sighed calmly in response.
"Okay, it's your first day afterall," Rag took his car keys and opened the door. As he was in the porch, he stopped and turn around to face Thunder, he lend him a paw as Thunder walked to his butler's car.
"You don't seem happy than i expected," Rag commented on Thunder's frowning face expression.
"Oh it's fine, i'm just nervous, that's all," Thunder lied, he knows that something will go wrong if he don't do it right.
"Ah okay," Rag shrugged it off and opened the passenger's door so Thunder can get in, he sat on the passenger's seat as Rag closes the door shut. The he walked around and got into the driver's seat.
"Elmore Junior High, right?" Rag reassured, the only response he get from Thunder was a simple nod.
The car moved as it took a turn. Then Rag drived normally while observing the neighbourhood around him. Thunder, on the other hand was spacing out, thinking about his first day of school and how he would fit like the other students. Then the car made another turn as Rag saw a school bus parking near a bus stop with students at it. Thunder stared at the school bus then at the other students to see how he would make friends with them. He saw another blue feline, a goldfish with legs, and a yellow fairy-angel getting into the bus.
Once they've made it to the school, Thunder hesitantly got out of the car, and stood there for a minute or two. He saw some students staring at him, some even whispering while doing so, which in result made the feline extremely nervous as he sweats. He took a step before finally going into the school.
While inside of the school he's not familiar with yet, he tried to act normally, but his heart kept beating in a fast rate. Luckily he'd found the principal's office where he should talk to the principal about his assignments. He clench his fist while shaking before walking into the office to found a brown furry slug with wide glasses sipping his coffee. The slug noticed Thunder's appearance.
"Thunder Blade Roachenson, is it?" The principal reassured while looking at the papers with information about the feline.
"Y-yes sir!" Thunder answered nervously, his fists are still clenched, while shaking nervously.
"Take a seat, please call me Mr. Brown," The slug known as Mr. Brown said. Just then, Thunder relaxed a little as he releases a deep sigh.
"Thank you," Said Thunder before sitting down on the chair.
"Thunder Blade Roachenson, transfer student from Florida, Singapore, and Indonesia, so you're Indonesian?" Mr. Brown asked. In response Thunder nodded. "The information said that you have electrical powers, is that true?" The brown slug asked again, Thunder yet again nodded as he opens his paw to reveal sparks of electricity coming from his paws.
"Yes i have," Thunder replied shakingly.
"Interesting, you'll be perfect here. Here's your key to your locker and your class is Ms. Simian's, go straight then go left," Mr. Brown informed and took a sip from his coffee, "Note that she doesn't welcome newcomers well, she instead hates them."
"Okay who hired a teacher that hates everybody?" Thunder wondered in pure logic while tilting his head.
"This is Elmore, everythings not logical," Told Mr. Brown, which in result made Thunder realized that this is indeed Elmore.
"I should get going now," Stated The feline as he scrambled the chair to stood up and walked to the door, he pulls out one last wave and a smile to Mr. Brown before going out and walking towards the mentioned class.
"Never thought a kid this rich would be well-behaved," Mr. Brown commented.
Thunder was hurring his way to Ms. Simian's class. When running, he found an old, wrinkly baboon lady glaring at him. Thunder was surprised at first and reeled back, but after that he took one small step.
"I-"
"First day and you're twenty seconds late?! two hours detention!!" The baboon screamed at Thunder, which in result made him grit his teeth in anger.
"I haven't finished yet!" Thunder fought back with those words, which made the baboon raise an eyebrow as her face expression was a mix between disgust and anger.
"three hours of detention!!" The baboon screamed at him again. Thunder sighed in irritation and walk his way to the class. The feline stood infront of the whole class as the baboon stood besides him. The feline was completely nervous and scared when the whole class starts to stare at him.
"Go introduced yourself, new brat," Ms. Simian ordered while waving her hands.
"I-i'm T-Thunder Blade Roachenson, i'm a transfer student...but now i will study here, i hope i could make friends..." Thunder introduced himself while fiddling his fingers in hope it will driven the nervousity away, unfortunately it didn't work.
"Yes yes now go find a empty seat," Said Ms. Simian half-heartedly.
"Yes ma'am!" Thunder muttered and sat on a desk near the blue cat and the goldfish.
Thunder hung his head down slightly to ignore the stares he'd recieved, he was internally screaming for them to not stare at him, but on the outside he kept being quiet. He nervously pulled out a sketchbook and put it on his desk, he opened it to reveal sketches of his own characters and dragons, they were well made sketches. When he start to draw, it made more attention.
"Hey, what are you drawing?" A blue feline asked which startled Thunder that he almost screamed. He immediately covers his drawings with his arms and turned his head to the window to avoid eye contact.
"N-nothing," Thunder nervously uttered.
"Aw man, anyways, what's your nickname?" The other blue feline asked, which in results made Thunder turned his head around to find the blue feline sitting besides him, he was seen wearing a sweater with a pair of trousers. The blue feline pulls his paw closer to Thunder as a gesture to shake hands. Thunder was silent at first, but then...
"I'm Thunder..." Answered Thunder as he shake hands with the other blue feline.
"I'm Gumball," The feline known as Gumball introduced himself, they broke apart their handshaking.
"And i'm Darwin!" The goldfish known as Darwin enthutiastically introduced himself.
"N-nice to meet you..." Thunder greeted weakly and raises his head to its normal state, as a sign that he's slightly comfortable.
"So, what are you drawing?" Gumball asked in pure curiousity about Thunder's drawings and sketches.
"I don't think you'll understand what i'm drawing," Thunder answered as he felt he was getting more comfortable that he has someone to talk to.
"Aw c'mon," Gumball pleaded before he heard Ms. Simian's loud chalkboard knocking.
"You, four hours of detention!!" Shouted Ms. Simian at Thunder.
"But why?! Isn't new students have to friends with atleast somebody to be comfortable with this school?!" Thunder retorted loudly, which made more attention.
"FIVE hours of detention!!" Yelled the baboon. Thunder hung his head down in embarassment and anger, he was shaking violently.
"Hey Gumball? Can you make the others stop looking at me?" Thunder requested. Gumball nodded and waved his paws at every students as a 'There's nothing to see here' gesture. The students followed Gumball's hand gestures and all of them didn't stare at Thunder anymore.
"Thanks..." Thunder thanked him weakly.
"Hey a friend needs to do something to make their friend comfortable," Said Gumball in a happy tone.
"Friend..?" Thunder began to think of thay word, since he hasn't got many friends to hang out with. "Do you think, we can be...friends?" He asked while staring at Gumball.
"Well duh, you seem you need a friend so i'm here," Gumball uttered and gave him a thumbs up.
"You think so?" Thunder reassured, Gumball responded with a nod and a smile. Which made Thunder's mood lighten up slightly, he smiled at them to show his happiness that he has friends now, his eyes even sparkled with tears of joy.
"We can hangout at lunch," Suggested Gumball.
"Okay!" Thunder replied as he form a fist to show his pride. "But first we should focus on learning now."
"Yeah, maybe," Gumball muttered unenthusiastically, he plop down his chin to his desk.
AFTER CLASS
Thunder walked right into the cafeteria, the place was severely full and lots of people chatting can be heard, which annoys Thunder. He goes to pick up a tray and looked at the food, studying them.
"What are ya looking for? We have some fine meals here," A voice spoke sarcastically, Thunder raises his head to find a orange puppet with a ladle.
"Oh i'm just looking for the right food...that's all," Thunder responded shyly.
"Oh you're the new kid right? Names Rocky," The puppet known as Rocky reassured.
"I'm Thunder," Thunder introduced himself. He glances at the food as he finally decides it. "I'll have macaroni and cheese with chocolate milk and some apple slices."
"Nice choice," Rocky commented, he scoops up some macaroni and cheese and put them in the a bowl then he put the bowl to Thunder's tray. After that, he picked up some apple slices and put it on his tray aswell as a carton of chocolate milk.
"Thanks, Rocky," Thunder thanked Rocky as he pays him money then he goes off to Find Gumball and Darwin.
Gumball glanced around his surroundings to find Thunder. Luckily, he found him trying to find their table. Gumball waved both of his paws to Thunder's direction, he wasn't responding at first, but he found Gumball waving at him. He smiled cheerfully as he hurried to them.
"So, w-what do you guys do after school usually?" Asked Thunder nervously as he sat down next to Gumball and put down his tray of food.
"We usually go for an adventure," Gumball answered as he took a bite from his burger.
"Cool," Thunder commented.
"So, what do you do usually?" Asked Darwin while munching on his pizza.
"Eh, i usually draw using my tablet and my computer, i like to stay home rather than going outside," Thunder answered while his head was lowered where to the point that he can see his tray, while he was fiddling with his macaroni with a spoon.
"That's boring," Gumball commented and stopped eating for a minute.
"I'd like to keep myself isolated, it makes me comfortable," Thunder admitted as he starts to eat the macaroni, putting the food to his mouth spoon by spoon, "Quietness actually makes me comfortable."
"Why though?" Darwin asked yet again.
"Back when i was a first grader, i like to play alot like any children. But then i moved to a different city where everybody looks at me like i'm an outsider. After that i've become an introvert with drawing skills," Thunder told and took a swig of chocolate milk.
"That sounds sad, do you have an old friend who likes to hangout with you?" Darwin asked again in full curiousity.
"No, my 'friends' are pretty much people that knows my name, they've rarely talked to me," Thunder admitted while rubbing the back of his furred head.
"Do you have bullies in your old schools?" Darwin asked, he didn't know where that question came from.
"Yep, they bullied me because i'm too nice and guillable, they also bullied me because of my powers," Thunder added and took a slice of apple to his mouth, eating it whole.
"You have powers?!" Gumball reassured enthusiastically, reaching his head closer to Thunder as he can.
"Well...yeah, i have electrical powers," uttered Thunder as he opens his paw to reveal sparks flashing on his paw.
"Oooh~" Currently Darwin and Gumball were completely amazed by Thunder's electrical powers even though it was only sparks on his paw.
"That's awesome!" Gumball commented in full amazement.
"It's nothing, besides i can only shock some people before passing out, the powers drain my energy when i'm using it," Explained Thunder as he closes his paw and continue eating.
"Still, that's so cool!" Gumball exclaimed, "Do you have any more talents other than drawing and having powers?"
"Well...i can play the keyboard, i also do karate whenever i need to," Thunder said before muttering nonsense words quietly.
"You're so cool!" Gumball admired at Thunder, "I don't even know why you're bullied, you can draw, play the keyboard, and dl karate!"
"That's not true..." Thunder claimed before realizing he'd slipped his native accent.
"What's with that voice?" Asked Darwin while raising an eyebrow, "Do you have another accent?"
"K-kinda...i'm from another country..." Thunder admitted embarrasingly while rubbing the back of his head again.
"What country? Japan? Russia? India?" Thoughted Gumball loudly yet enthusiastically.
"I-Indonesia," Thunder hesitantly gave the answer. Not making eye contact with them because of sheer embarrasment.
"Oh, you mean that small country that has beautiful sceneries and sea life? And where the mountain erupted in the 1900's?" Darwin assured.
"Y-yeah! That's the country, also the mountain's name is Krakatau," Thunder uttered before continuing his meal.
Thunder felt a feeling he'd never felt in a long time, which was friendship. He only talked to his butler and count him as his only friend. He knew that those two brothers will make friendship with him, he'd only met them in his first day of school. It was a whole new record and meaning of finding friends.
Just then, yet unexpectedly, the school bell rang loudly. Students got up from their chairs and hurried their way into class. Thunder on the other hand run towards the class before anyone else could. After he'd made it, he quickly took his textbook, notebook and pencil case just in case (Get it?) someone asks him to borrow his pen or pencil.
After that moment. He walked into the class and sat right next to Gumball, he opens his textbook as he reads all of the pages that caught his interest. Luckily the material in todays class is all about space, which is the only thing he's interested on, other than math.
"So, what material is Jupiter made of?" Ms. Simian asked in a bored tone, glancing at all of the class just to find someone raising their hands. She looked at the far right of her perspective to find Thunder raising his paw. She sighed in annoyance before pointing her index finger at the new feline.
"It's made of mainly hydrogen and helium, but further inspections it's made of methane and ammonia, the core is made of rocky or metallic hydrogen core," Answered Thunder.
"Wrong! Wait..." Ms. Simian looked at the book about the material, Thunder was correct all along, "R-right...?"
After that event, the class was usual, unexpected tests and pop quizs. Although Thunder was getting most of the answers right, which mentally surprised Ms. Simian towards the feline's intelligence towards Biology and math. It left her speechless, but she still wants him to go to detention by the cause of his past actions that he'd would never do.
After class, Ms. Simian forced him to stay at the detention room with Mr. Brown. When they got there, a surprised yet scared expression on the furry slug's face can be seen entirely when he saw Thunder getting to detention.
"Thunder, why are you doing here?" Mr. Brown asked while trying to be collective and calm as a sweat bead trickled down his furry head. The response the electrical cat has was only a shrug.
"This brat got into detention because he WAS TWENTY SECONDS LATE! AND HE RETORTED TO ME BECAUSE I GOT ANGRY TO HIM BY NO REASON!" Ms. Simian growled at Mr. Brown and Thunder alone.
"But Ms. Simian, his family fund our school now! They're rooting for us to make him comfortable here! If you make his life miserable by yourself, you'll get fired instantly and never got to meet me again!" Mr. Brown explained.
"He's making my life miserable by answering questions correctly! And he's actually learning for real!" The baboon retorted.
"That's what schools are meant for! Besides, his butler can appear out of thin air and kick your butt," Mr. Brown said worryingly.
The baboon stared at Thunder with a opened frown on her face, revealing her teeth, "Fine! You're free for now, Mr. Roachenson!" Ms. Simian snarled and throw Thunder out of the detention room. He glances at the room before heading to the front of the school.
He took a step outside at the front, where the school bus are driving to the neighborhood, he glances at each directions before finding his butler's car as well ad his butler standing straight, waiting for him. He walked down and approaches Rag as he sighed.
"How was your first day?" Asked Rag.
"Quite nice, actually," Thunder admitted, which put a smile on Rag's face. They got into the car and drove home.
It was a quite eventful day for him, atleast.
