Author's Note: This is my first story about Vaati. He is in school, and his roommates, Shadow Shades and Dark Dusk are his friends. But there is many things he hadn't told them about. Looking for a spelling beta who really likes Vaati stories. This one is replacing my old story, Falling for the Dark. Characters are from that story, but aren't very important. Hope you enjoy.

Vaati's P.O.V

I had only just arrived at my dorm and started settling in. I was the new kid at Forest Academy. I had no friends in my childhood, and I probably won't get any here. Everyone just teases me about my looks. No one every just pushed it aside and became friends with me.

I finally finished unpacking my suitcase and putting things in the right place. My bed had light purple sheets, with a white comforter. I slid my suitcase under my bed and picked up my school books before placing them in my bag. I grabbed my key and left the room.

Everyone was in class except me. I placed my books in my locker and decorated the outside with letters. Vaati Varmins. Not much designs, but tornados and whirlwinds. I wasn't going to tell anyone my secret. The secret of my powers. I wasn't going to tell anyone about my childhood either. That would just have to remain...private.

I slowly walked towards the principal's office to get my schedule. I hesitated at the door, unsure of myself. I didn't know what was behind the door. I just was not sure. I turned the knob slowly and cracked it open. Apparently, someone was in there.

"I'm sorry, it just couldn't be helped. You see -"

"This is very disappointing, you need to be on your best behavior Shadow, not your worst. You could get yourself suspended if you keep this up. Also, your grades..."

"I know! I have tried my best, but they always end up in... blasting volcanos! I tried tutors, but they all quit on me, I hope our new roommate can help me."

"And he is here, welcome Mr. Varmins, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"Thanks. I, uh, need to get my schedule and map."

"You won't need a map, Shadow here will show you around, since, he isn't going back to class." The principal glared at Shadow, while the guy swallowed uneasily.

"Thanks. Can we start?" I asked, "I guess I will see you later -"

"Mr. Shirvan. Yes, see you soon, but I hope not in trouble." Mr. Shirvan said smiling.

"Come on let's start." Shadow said, walking out. I followed, examining him. He had black hair and purple eyes. He wore the school uniform, and had ruffled hair. He carried his backpack on his left shoulder and was right-handed. I was left-handed. In the meantime, Shadow noticed I was staring at him.

"Uh, dude?" He questioned

"What?" I snapped, coming back to reality.

"Sorry man, just don't like when people stare at me. It makes me nervous. Anyway, I am Shadow Shades."

"Right, I am Vaati Varmins. The new kid." I said

"Varmins? Hmm, you might want to meet Dark when he gets out of class. So Vaati, what do you do for fun?"

I swallowed, "well. I like to read and write -"

"A writer? Maybe you will be lucky enough to become one of the staff members of our school paper."

"That would be interesting." I muttered.

"Well, do you think that you might make it?" Shadow asked, a smirk starting to show, "oh, this is the cafeteria, you will see it bustling with people at lunchtime."

"Figures."

"Next is the gymnasium, I think a class is in gym."

I followed him toward the loud sounds of footsteps and whistles.

Shadow opened the door and walked in, showing me the locker rooms.

"Oh, right, Elian is in this class." Shadow muttered, "she is one of my friends."

"What's she like?" I questioned, "does she run from you?"

Shadow laughed, "no, she waves and is pretty nice. You might want to meet her after class is out for the day."

"What do you do after class?" I questioned

"Study, clean up, chat, have fun. Well, as long as you don't have detention. Which I got."

"Oh well." I said unsympathetically. "That's your fault."

"Hey! You don't have to spit it at me!" Shadow retorted

"Whatever, continue with the tour."

We walked out the gym, and walked along a hallway.

"These are the classrooms, anything that has '1A or 4A' will be here, because it is the 'A' section. There is 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D. Those are all the classes." Shadow explained

"OK, I get it. Anything else that is important?" I questioned

"Where to find them." Shadow said smiling

"Is there a map?"

"Oh yeah, in the principal's office, but a tour is more exciting. You get someone who has experience -"

"And goes to detention. Yeah, thanks."

"Not everyone gets detention! Like Mr. Perfect grades and looks, Daniel Parker."

"You sound envious."

"Well, that's because he's perfect. And a jerk..."

"A jerk? Why would you be envious of a jerk just because he has perfect looks? I mean, I rather have an ugly person who is nice, than a snobby, perfect person."

"You would?"

"Yeah Shadow."

"Hmm, you should tell Daniel that."

"When does class start?"

"6am."

"End?"

"4pm."

"That's long."

"It is an academy."

"Not all academies are like that."

"Everyone is different."

"Is this the end of the tour?"

"Minds well as be, class ends in 5 minutes, I want you to meet my friends. Or make your own if you want."

"Now that I think about it, aren't you my roommate?"

"Yup."

"Oh, that's nice."

"Anything that interests you besides writing?"

"Weather."

"Oh, I thought you would have liked radios and loud music."

"I'm a fan of peace and quiet."

"The BAND! I love them too! They are like so -"

"No, not the band, who names themselves that if they are just going to disturb it?"

"Well...apparently, they did."

"Whatever."
