"Your sister is leaving now Jimmy. "Jimmy's mother Lia called to Jim from downstairs; it was time. Jim zipped up his backpack filled with his favorite books. James frantically looked around for his favorite shirt after seeing that his current one had several stains.
"Crap." He muttered to himself as he'd search for a new one before his mother would complain any more than she needed to.
Jim sighed as he applied some lotion on his face and looked at his reflection in the mirror; Jim pulled back to look at his reflection; he wouldn't call himself exactly 'short' but 5'5 definitely wasn't that tall (His mother claimed he would get more height during his Highschool years). He had several small features, a button nose, forest green shaped eyes. His small mop of hair that was raven black accompanied by a thin ponytail. James Hawkins Junior had been reminded for a long time that he resembled his father a hundred percent.
"Are you coming Jim?" Jenny shouted to him from outside. Jim once again sighed in irritation and decided to hurry up. Jim Jr. had found a shirt and pulled his black hoodie with the words 'Interstellar Space Academy' in white lettering on the front over his head.
"Yeah!" He retorted back as he left the bathroom. Jim stopped to look over his messy room once more; he would miss it, this room held so many memories (His mother would tell him to stop being over-dramatic he would be gone for a year or so and come back). He made his way outside and looked at the portal before him.
"Are you excited?" Lia asked trying to lift the spirits of her son. Jim knew that he wasn't, he was going away from everything and everyone he loved. Jim's father had told him it is an opportunity to do something new and meet new people.
"I guess so mom." Jim said as he looked at the portal. James Senior placed a hand on his son's shoulder trying to comfort the teenager.
"Promise you'll call your mother and I once you get settled," Jim Sr. told Jim Jr.; Jim never wanted to go to Ever After High: Jimmy had spent his entire summer begging, pleading, and bribing his father not to go to Ever After High as he wished to and continuing to attend The Interstellar Space Academy.
Both twins nodded and turned back to the portal. Jenny stepped through the portal with her belongings with a nervous smile while Jim Jr. stood on the Montressor side. Jim Sr. had sensed his son's anxiety as he took note of the boy's reluctantness to move and he shook a bit. With a comforting hand on Jim Jr.'s back Jim began to speak.
"They can be great people, Jimmy, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my oldest son." Jim Sr. said seriously as Jim felt his nerves calm and chuckled: He and his father had to stop watching old movies like that.
LINE
After stepping through the portal and waving a goodbye to his family as it closed, Jim had separated from Jenny so he could go to his assigned dorm. The hall leading to the boy's dormitory of Ever After High was a bit confusing for Jim (Mostly due to him being used to the Academy.). The path was filled with other young men and fellow male classmates with their own luggage as they held conversations, and the ones who did notice the Space Boy waved to him.
In a few minutes Jim stood just outside the closed door as he noted that his last name (Along with another that was hard to read) on a scroll that was on it. Jim slowly opened the door to reveal its emptiness aside from two dressers, wardrobes, and beds; Jim placed his bag on the bed and began to unpack his things on the right side. Jim's pocket moved as he held a sly grin.
"Morph!" Jim said as the pink blob flew out of his pocket. Morph flew around the room panting as Jim tried to catch him. Jim got on his bed and caught the blob in the air over his bed.
"Gotcha!" Jim said as he grabbed the blob and petted him with his pointer finger. Unknown to the space natives the sound of sneakers squeaking against the floor came closer and closer to the room. The door opened and Jim head snapped up as his roommate failed to notice him.
The taller brown-haired boy had his headphones in as he set his bag down and began to remove items as he still missed Jim who hid Morph. Jim's roommate's appearance was somewhat interesting: He had short brown hair in a style that seemed a bit outdated, bright-ish blue eyes, slightly olive colored skin with a muscular build, and a small gap in his front two teeth were shown when he smiled.
Jim's roommate finally noticed him and took his headphone out. The taller boy walked over to Jim with a friendly smile.
"Lancelot, Son of Sir Lancelot but please call me Lance." Jim's roommate said sticking a hand out for Jim. Jim hesitantly took Lance's hand.
"James Hawkins Junior, Son of James Hawkins Senior and new fairy-tale: Treasure Planet." Jim said as Lance grinned widely.
"Wow…." Lance said as Jim nodded. Jim once again fixed his stuff as Lance did the same to his side of the room. Jim plopped on the bed and looked at his schedule.
Period 1: Heroism 101
Period 2: Advanced Wooing.
Period 3: Arts & Crafts
Period 4: Chemythstry
Period 5: Muse-ic
Period 6: Beast Training & Care
Period 7: Cooking Class-ic!
Jim groaned inwardly as the list. Some of them sounded fine enough and even interesting but he wasn't certain about Chemythstry, or Muse-ic. Jim folded the paper and stood up
"I'm gonna go out for a bit before lunch." Jim said as Lance nodded and kept unpacking. Jim put his hands in his pockets as Morph got out and flew next to him. Jim looked again as he briefly passed dorm rooms: In one dorm he saw a guy with tanned skin and what appeared to be tentacles sticking out of his back and another guy flying in the air as he chatted with the tentacle guy.
"This place is odd Morphy." Jim murmured as the pink blob in question nodded. Jim made his way out of the dorms and trekked on to finding a wide, empty space to practice a little Solar Surfing.
