Hi! I've had this idea for quite a while now! I wanted to capture what it would be like if the ninja were in high school! By the way, this is an AU (Alternate Universe) story! The theme song for this story is High School Never Ends by the amazing band Bowling For Soup! I hope you enjoy!

Hi, my name is Jay, Jay Walker. I am finally going to high school! These are the years that you find out who you are, what you want to do, and most of all determine your fate! I have been waiting for this moment since the beginning of eighth grade! I have always dreamed of what high school would be like! Maybe this year I would make friends. I have had friends in the past, but things got in the way, what things you ask well, things like...

(Beginning of kindergarten)

I walked up to a boy about my age,"Hi, I'm Jay!"

"Hi, I'm Brian!" he looked at my toy hammer,"Is that a hammer?"

"Yup! When I grow up, I'm going to use this hammer to build awesome machines like my daddy!"

"I think hammers are stupid!" Brian said,"I decided that I don't like you!" Apparently, he was the most popular kindergartner in the school! So whatever he thought, everybody else thought. He stayed the most popular kid for three years, then I switched to a new elementary school!

(Second grade)

I looked towards Maria, her long blonde hair went into a pair of adorable pigtails, and her blue eyes shined like diamonds! At recess, I was ready,"Hey, Maria, do you wanna go over my house?" I asked the girl.

"Sure!" she replied.

"Yes!" I was in! I was walking to my house with Maria next to me! "Did you know that my parents own their own business?!" I bragged.

"Really!? Cool!" When we finally arrived, she made a face. "What is that terrible stench!?"

"This is the natural stench of the junkyard I live in!" I explained to her. She called her butler, and asked him to pick her up in her limo,"Ya, this guy is a total loser." Word of that got around school pretty fast, actually, the fact that I lived in a junkyard was turned into a rumor that I was homeless, and took shelter in a junkyard, perfect!

(Sixth Grade)

By now, I had gone to multiple elementary schools, it just wasn't working out, so now I was in one of the four middle schools that was in town, it started out good, I had a new crush, Jessica, her blonde hair went down to right below her shoulder blades. She had emerald green eyes, that could make anyone fall in love, including me! I warned her before I brought her home this time, and she was totally fine with it! I took her home ready to take a new path in life, a path with friends!

I took her to the junkyard, the stench didn't bother her that much, I was about to invite her into my trailer when,"Jay! Over here honey, is that a girl!?" she smiled wide. "Hi, I'm Edna, Jay's mother!"

"Jay, come here, I need your help with a couple things!" my father called.

"Be right back!" I told Jessica, before running off to help my father.

When I got back my mother was showing her the picture of me kissing my pillow! Jessica was giggling like crazy, and wouldn't stop! She picked up her phone, snapped a picture of the photo, and I found out at school the next day that she had sent it to everyone in school! Sometimes I really hated my mom!

(Eighth Grade Graduation)

Finally, I was graduating, when somebody decides to grab my pants, and pull them down! Brian laughed at his joke just as I was accepting my diploma! My life at that school was officially over! Too bad there was only one high school in our town of Ninjago, and it was huge!

(Present Day)

I walked through the doors feeling confident that this year, things were going to change for the better! Once I arrived at my locker, I had to wait for a certain couple to stop making out, Brain, and Maria! Finally, after pushing them out of the way, I opened my locker, and set it up. It's also not like they minded me pushing them, in fact, I'm sure they stumbled all the way into the janitor's closet. I looked at my schedule, homeroom, 221, no problem! I smiled confidently before closing my locker, and heading down the hall, this was going to be a great year!

(Cole's POV)

I woke up early in the morning to the same tune that I always hear,"Turn it down Dad! I need my sleep! You have been playing that same tune all summer! I slipped out of bed, and looked at my hair, a tangled mess! I had tried everything to keep it under control, but nothing was working for me! I yawned, and I was also sick and tired of that tune!

"Dad why did you play it anyways?"

"Why son, it is the tune you have to sing for the Performing Arts program audition! Do you not remember?" I groaned, I can't sing or dance, but my father still insists that I try, and join every single year. Maybe he just wants me to finish what he couldn't thanks to his foot injury! I sighed, time to get ready! I grabbed my black t shirt that matched my dark black jeans, they look nice with my cool, black hair, and no, I am not emo!

I grabbed my dark grey backpack, and began my long walk to school, as I was walking, I saw a group of older boys picking on a smaller blonde kid. I decided not to get involved, but I couldn't help but stare! the poor kid!

After what seemed like forever, I finally got to school! I approached my locker just as my neighbor was leaving, he looked confident, I wish I was as confident as him, he must be a popular kid, only they have that much confidence.

I sighed before looking at what homeroom number I had, 221, well, might as well get going. I began to walk down the never-ending hallway.

(Kai's POV)

My new dad was praising My sister for getting up so early, I just didn't get it. Nya was younger than me, but she was also smarter than me it made no sense! She had skipped a grade, and was now in my grade! She was supposed to be in eighth grade, but no! She had to skip a grade! My parents passed away many years ago when I was just a small child, so now I have new parents, who prefers my sister over me! We have to walk to school because it's in the opposite direction of my dad's work. Before I left, I rubbed my dog Flame's head he had been with me ever since I was a child, I had kept him even in our foster homes.

However, now we have a real home, and that means that I can care better for him. "See you later buddy!" I told my best friend. I dashed out the door, with my sister behind me, I didn't want to be late on my first day!

I was running so fast that I was surprised when I actually reached school in fifteen minutes! I walked inside and found my locker, at first I went for it, but I hesitated. I had a reason to hesitate, standing right before me was a blonde kid being beat up by a school jock. His jacket made it clear that he was the captain of the football team. The word DRAGONS was clearly written on the back of his jacket. The poor kid was beat up against his locker. I wanted to help but the last time I had tried to help in the past I wasn't all that helpful.

(Kai Age Seven)

A fifth grader was beating up a kindergartner, and I wanted it to stop! "Leave him alone!" I yelled.

"What are you gonna do, if I don't?" the older kid challenged.

"I'm gonna give you a beating of your own!" I yelled trying to intimidate the boy. He picked me up, and threw me across the hallway. I suffered a broken nose, a sprained ankle, and a black eye.

(Kai Present Day)

I decided not to get involved, and waited quietly for the jock to finish his beating. The kid weakly sat up, grabbed his books, and walked away most likely to his homeroom. Right after he left, Nya finally caught up to me. Panting, she made her way to a locker about three away from me. "Hey Nya, what homeroom?" I asked.

"221" she answered.

"Cool! Me too!" I told her grabbing the last of my books. We headed off to our homeroom as a tall, pale boy entered the hallway.

(Zane's POV)

I awoke early, I pet my dog on her head before sliding out of bed. I looked at my alarm clock, beat it again! As I slid downstairs the sweet aroma of pancakes made its way into my nostrils. I looked towards my father who was busy cooking them. "Good Morning father! How is our project doing, is it ready!?"

"Not yet, but it will be soon. I will inform you as soon as he is ready to be powered up!" my father exclaimed, before filling up my dog Shard's food bowl. She rushed to her bowl at the sound of it being filled. I smiled as I ate my breakfast, usually I would make breakfast, but my father awoke first. My father and I were technicians, we made robotic inventions, the one that we were trying to prepare to power up this time was a mechanical falcon! I had helped work on it all summer, my father was a science teacher at the school, and did many labs with robotics before! That is what got me interested in robotics in the first place!

I got a ride to school in my father's car. Once we arrived at the school my father took the staff door, and I took the main door, and decided to find my locker. I saw a boy, and a younger looking girl, most likely his sister walking down the hallway.

I grabbed everything I needed for the day, and mentally checked it off in my head. I looked at my schedule, homeroom 221. I hurry to class, hoping that I won't be late for homeroom.

(Lloyd's POV)

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! "Oh shut up!" I yell, throwing my pillow at my alarm clock, muffling it out. I'm about to go back to sleep when,"Lloyd, time to get ready for your first day of school!" My mother called. I fell out of bed, and got dressed. I slipped on my favorite green t shirt, and some cargo shorts. I thought about the day ahead as I rushed downstairs. Grabbing my bag, I shoved a pop-tart in my mouth and swallowed it almost whole! I was still thinking about school, what if the kids made fun of me again, just because I'm a little bit shorter, and because my parents work at the school.

"Son, are you okay? School isn't for another hour, you're running around like you're late." my father chuckled.

I paused,"Another hour!? Mom why did you set my alarm for me to wake up so early!?" I kinda ask-yelled at her.

"Because I didn't want you to be late!" she reasoned. She was always doing things like this. I had moved to this new town over the summer, thanks to both of my parents getting new jobs at the high school here. My mother is the new guidance counselor, and my father is the new English teacher. I have been bullied in the past because my parents have worked at the school I was going to, this time I'll have friends!"

I decided to walk to school, so everybody didn't know automatically that I was a teacher's son. As I began the walk I took in my surroundings it was a nice town, a skate shop, an arcade, a park, a Candy Mania! That is only the best store ever! I smiled, and glanced at my phone with my GPS on it. As I looked up, I noticed that I was on a darker street, there were a few other students walking to school too. I kept my head down, and my distance, until,"Hey shorty! What are you doing walking all alone!" I knew that he was from my new school because of his sports jacket with the word DRAGONS clearly written on the back of it.

"Just going to school." I answered quietly. He grabbed the back of my shirt, and lifted me up.

"I didn't hear you!" he threatened.

"I'm going to school!" I yelled terrified.

"I don't like to be yelled at!" he screamed picking me up, and punching me to the ground, a couple more of his friends came over and beat me up too after he laid the first blow to my head. After they were done, I heard one of them ask the one who yelled at me a question.

"Skales, shouldn't we get to school?"

"Fine!" he yelled, before walking off with the rest of his football friends.

I sighed, stood up, and grabbed my bag before hurrying to school. Once I finally made it, I quickly made my way to my locker, where a party was waiting for me, and no not the good kind. Skales was back with his football friends, but there was somebody else. He was really tall, and wore another sports jacket. "Hi, I am Pythor P. Chumsworth, my friends here told me all about you..." he paused.

Not wanting to get hurt again I told him at a normal voice level,"Lloyd, I'm new this year."

"Oh, new kid huh? Time for the initiation!" He said before sticking his fist in my stomach. After another beating, I grabbed my stuff, and ran all the way to my homeroom, 221.

(Jay's POV)

I walked into my homeroom, history. I saw the teacher reading at his desk. I chose a desk by the window, and sat down. Right when I sat down, a kid that looked like he was emo walked inside. Following him was a kid who looked like he had been through quite a beating, poor guy. Then a boy with spiky hair walked in, and took his seat like the others who had walked in after me. Then, she walked in! her black hair framed her face perfectly, her brown eyes shined, I had a new crush. Following her last, was a boy with short, almost sticking straight up blonde hair. The girl sat next to me, and the blonde boy sat two seats next to me. To the right of him was the emo kid, and next to him was the kid who most likely got beat up. Between the girl with the black hair, and the emo kid was the boy with the spiky hair.

The teacher walked up to the front of the room, and wrote his name on the board,"Mr. Wu."

He cleared his throat before speaking up,"I am Mr. Wu, your homeroom, and for some of you, your history teacher." He went on about the school for about fifteen minutes until. Splat! I am hit right in the ear with a spitball! The Blonde boy turned around, because he had been hit too! So had the girl next to me, the boy with the spiky hair, the emo kid, and the beat up kid. The one with the spiky hair threw a pencil back at the person who spit the spitball. The emo kid copied him, and the beat up kid too, the beat up kid seemed to hate them the most, throwing his notebooks too!

"Enough!" Mr. Wu yelled. "All of you, detention!" he yelled.

"Mr. Wu, that's not fair, they were just defending themselves!" the black haired girl yelled.

"You also get a detention!" he told the girl.

"What!" she yelled.

"That's not fair for her!" I defended.

"You have one as well."

"Huh?" I gasped.

"Excuse me Mr. Wu," The blonde boy began,"They were all just trying to get back at..."

"You too Mr. Julien, detention! Today after school!"

"Detention! I have things to do after school!" the boy pleaded.

"I do too!" me and the rest of the row begged him.

"Would anybody like to join them?" he asked the class, "Good! Now move along, and don't be late, go to your first class, and remember this was an extended homeroom! You won't have as much time to cause trouble in the future." He aimed his words at us like a weapon.

(Lloyd's POV)

I had been to math and art so far, now I had English. I walked down the hall, I hoped that my dad wouldn't mention that I was his son, or give me any special treatment. Once I finally entered my father greeted me,"Hello Mr. Garmadon." Thank goodness he didn't mention to any of the students yet that I was his son. I took my seat to see all of the kids from earlier that got detention with me. The boy with short brownish-auburnish hair sat next to me, where the spiky hair sat near the window with the girl with black hair behind him. In the front of the room was the boy with blonde hair who was still moping over his detention, and in the back of the class was the emo kid with black hair sitting there like he didn't care.

As my dad began class, I saw the spiky haired boy doze off, while the short haired girl quickly took notes on everything. As did the blonde boy, but he seemed to write longer notes than necessary. The boy next to me was daydreaming, and the emo kid in the back was bored. I was just paying attention.

After what seemed like forever, class was over. "Lloyd, stay here for a moment." my father asked me.

As soon as I was sure that everybody was gone I asked him,"Yes dad?"

"Mr. Wu told me you have a detention."

"Dad, it wasn't my fault, I..."

"I don't want to hear it!" he yelled before leaving me alone in the room, I looked at the clock, lunchtime, finally!

(Nobody's POV)

Lunchtime, the social gathering of people to talk, gossip, eat, have fun, and just mess around! For Zane, it meant sitting alone again, nobody wanted to be his friend. For Lloyd that meant being the new kid, and trying to find a seat. For Kai and Nya, it meant sitting together, and for Jay it meant sitting close to Nya, but not too close. He sat at the table closest to her. For Cole however, it meant sitting with his friends, not just any friends his quartet.

"Hey guys!" Cole said, sitting down with his group.

"Hey, look it's the triple-tiger FAILURE!" one of his friends, Cameron laughed.

"Ya how was falling on your face again?" Max asked.

"Guys, let it go already, I was seven!" Cole yelled.

"I don't think that it's possible!" Henry, the last of the quartet joked. The whole group excluding Cole laughed their heads off!

"What are you guys laughing at!?" a popular kid, Brian asked.

"This guy, right here epically failed on stage!" Max pointed out. Brain told his entire table, Cole could practically taste the rumors starting! By now Cole has had enough with his so called "friends".

He was sick of it! "You know what, no! I am sick and tired of you guys always making fun of me, and saying it's a joke, but it's not! You are just a bunch of jerks!" Cole took a deep breath, this was always a very hard thing to do, in fact he should've done it a long time ago! "I'm leaving the quartet, and this so called friendship! Your quartet just became a trio!"

(Cole Age Seven)

He was finally on stage, after all of that practice. Sure, he had never successfully done it, but never late than never! Cole got himself ready when his solo was about to end. Right as he said the last word, he jumped up, jumped off of Max's head, used his fist to bounce off of Henry's head, then the moment of truth came, he was about to bounce his head off of Cameron! He could be the first one to successfully complete the Triple-Tiger-Sashay! Cole tried to get upside down perfectly, but ended up flipping out of control!

He landed on his face in front of everyone, the crowd was silent for a second, before laughing their faces off! Even Cole's quartet was laughing and pointing!

(Cole Present Day)

He let a tear fall, before finding a new place to sit. He sat down next to the new kid who was sitting alone. Lloyd noticed his distress. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, but just listen to this advice, know the difference between fake and real friends, before it's too late."

(Zane's POV)

After lunch was over, I grabbed my stuff from my last class, and headed to my next class, Science, yes! I got to see my father! I entered the room with confidence, and sat down at a counter. Next to me was the emo boy with the black hair, he was talking to the new kid. Next to them were the spiky haired boy, and the girl with the black hair, and next to her staring at the girl was the energy filled boy who seemed like he enjoyed talking.

I was ready to learn, I had my notebook open and everything. The talkative boy raised his hand halfway through the lecture. "Mr. Julien, how do the electrons attract to the atom?" he asked looking towards the black haired girl.

"Why do you ask Mr. Walker?" he asked him.

"Well, I just wanted to know because ummm..."

"No, not that, Mr. Walker, you are aware that we are talking about biology."

"Okay," he mused then how do male rabbits attract female rabbits?"

"I think you're talking to the wrong person." he laughed before continuing his lesson. The boy blushed, seeing that his crush was right next to him.

(Nya's POV)

I got to my final class, history. My brother and I were in our homeroom seats, as well as the other four kids who got detention with us. Too bad that the kid from earlier was right behind us, and one of his buddies was in front of us. In the middle of the lesson, one of the football player's henchman handed a note to Kai, and motioned to his friend directly behind him. Kai shook his head. The boy looked kinda pissed, and tried to pass the note himself. He was bothering Kai so much that he was fed up with it pretty quick.

"Fine!" Kai quietly screamed at the football player before grabbing the note, right before he could pass it, the boy who gave it to him raised his hand.

"Ooh, ooh, Mr. Wu! Kai is passing notes!" He turned around to see Kai, note in hand, passing it to the bully. Mr. Wu held out his hand, and my brother hesitantly gave him the note hoping nothing too bad was inside. Mr. Wu frowned, Kai felt a pit in his stomach.

He turned the note around, and on it was a picture of Mr. Wu, but without a beard, instead in it's place was a mocking mustache, and it had an arrow pointing to the mustache that said "Most Interesting Part About Him!" Kai put his head down, he wasn't going to survive detention!

(No One's POV)

The six freshmen were the only ones at detention. Mr. Wu surprisingly let them talk, and do whatever they wanted, as long as they stayed in the room! It was completely silent until somebody decided to break it.

"I could be at the robotics club right now." Zane sighed.

"I could be finishing my invention right now." Jay thought out loud.

"I could be practicing for my audition right now." Cole mused.

"I could be at home with Flame right now." Kai frowned.

"I could be exploring the city right now." Nya cried upset.

Everybody turned towards Lloyd, and looked towards him expectantly. "What?" he asked.

"Where would you be right now?" Cole asked.

"I could be..." Lloyd paused, he didn't know! "I'm not sure, I don't have any clubs, I don't have really any hobbies, I don't do performing arts, I don't own any pets, I already know my way around the city, and I don't have any friends." He let a tear fall. "My father probably hates me right now for getting a detention, I'm being bullied, I have been beaten up twice today!" He stopped for a moment,"And I have no friends." he finished.

"Hey, don't talk like that, you do have friends, us!" Jay said.

"Ya man, we're your friends!" Kai added.

"Wait, if we're gonna be friends, shouldn't we at least know each other's names?" Lloyd asked.

"Well, I'm Jay!" he introduced himself.

"I'm Cole!"

"I'm Kai!"

"I'm Nya, Kai's sister!"

"I'm Zane!"

"And I'm Lloyd!"

"Nice to meet you!" they all said together, getting a good laugh out of everyone.

"You know, a group like us has to stick together, we make a pretty good team! So what do you say, lets survive Ninjago High School together!" Lloyd suggested.

"Agreed!" Everybody replied, this was going to be a great year for everybody!

Wow! This is one of the longest things that I have ever written! I hope you enjoy, I'm surprised I got the inspiration for this story by listening to a song! I hope you adored this chapter, and I would appreciate a review! More to come,
