(Lloyd's POV)

Beep beep beep beep bee– "Shut up" I groaned throwing my pillow at the alarm clock. It was 5:30 a.m. Today was my first day at Ninjago Academy. Ninjago Academy is a school for "talented young adults", as my parents tell me. I didn't mind the new school that much. Its just that it was my third school transfer in the past year. Also the fact that my parents work there... Yeah. Just my luck. " Lloyd, are you up?" my mom called from the hall. "Yeah... Yeah I'm up." I groaned getting out of bed and stepping over and around boxes from the move a week ago. I looked into my wall mirror. I was a mess... "Lloyd, we are leaving in five minutes! Come down for breakfast! Quickly!" Called my mom. Again, just my luck. No time to fix my hair. I quickly and sloppily put on the "school uniform" my mom got me. I knew the academy didn't have a uniform. Ugh, what's with parents and making their kids look good.? I stared at the mirror for a few minutes longer. "Hiya, Lloyd. Ya dressed?" said my sister Jaylynn, barging into my room. Jaylynn was 25, yet she still lived with us. Behind her was Morro Grant. He was on the phone, but he mouthed the words 'let's go'. Jaylynn and Morro were engaged to be married, which was kinda odd to me considering he used to babysit me. "Yeah, yeah coming." I rolled my eyes and grabbed my backpack. The three of us went downstairs. "Lloyd, Jaylynn and Morro are taking you to school today. We will be there later." My dad said to me when I had come downstairs. I nodded tiredly. "Ready?" Jaylynn asked. I groaned in response. "That's a yes then!" Jaylynn assumed. Morro, still on the phone, took my heavy backpack to the car. Jaylynn took the wheel and Morro sat in the passengers seat yapping away with someone on the phone whom I didn't know. I got in the seat behind the couple. I noticed while Jaylynn was driving, one hand was on the compartment between them... What was she doing? Doesn't she need both hands? Oh wait... She was holding Morro's hand. Of course. Wow, this was the first time I had seen her ring up close. It was... diamondy. Morro sighed as he put his phone away. He began to talk to Jaylynn. I smirked knowing what they were talking about. The thing is, I like eavesdropping on people, but a few months ago I happened to eavesdrop at the wrong place and wrong time... For I saw them doing something I'm not even allowed to say, but so you don't get the wrong idea, it is spelled K-I-S-S-I-N-G. They made me promise not to tell, but I still tease them. They finally shut up. I awkwardly stared at the buildings we passed though the window. "So Lloyd, how's school?" Morro asked. WHAT THE FUDGE!? HE KNOWS I JUST TRANSFERRED! WHY OF ALL QUESTIONS DID HE ASK THAT? I hid my anger. "Good." I mumbled. Morro sighed then began texting someone. Jaylynn slapped his hand. "Morro, off your phone. You can talk about new buisness affairs later." Jaylynn paused. I was shocked. "New business affairs? What about your jo–" I was cut off. We were at the academy. We got out of the car. Morro still held my backpack until we were at my locker. "Don't let anyone mess with ya, kid. Or I swear to G-" "OK Morro, just let him get to class." Jaylynn said stopping her fiancé and winking at me. I knew she cut him off on purpose to save my "innocent little ears" from a mouthful of swears from Morro. "Bye, have fun!" I said as they left. I sighed and grabbed my books. I turned and saw a group of juniors. "Well well... What do we have here? A new kid, huh?" One of them said. "I... I'm Lloyd Garmad–" I began before they shoved me to the ground. "Let's give him a warm welcome..." He said before beating me up.

(Zane's POV)

I was up before my alarm clock. I sat looking out my window at the view. The ocean was beautiful, especially with the sun rising casting an orangeish pink light. I sighed in awe. There was knocking at my door. "Zane? You up?" Said a voice. It was my father. "Yes, father." I replied. "Are you dressed?" He asked. "Yes, father." I replied once more. He opened the door holding a box. "What, may I ask, is that?" I asked him. "Open it and see." My father said carefully placing the box on my lap. I opened it up. It was a letter and a gift from my penpal Pixal. I scanned over the letter, which was just an update on life, and looked at the gift. It was a knitted sweater that she made by herself. It was a pattern of silver and white, my favorite colors. "So, is it from that Pixal girl you keep speaking of?" My father playfully asked smiling. I nodded. "Well, we have to get going in a half an hour, so come out whenever you are ready." My father said waking out and leaving my door open, knowing I couldn't open it. I sighed and put the box on my bed. I glanced down at the wheels on my wheelchair. Yes, I am disabled. It is nothing to be ashamed of. It makes me my unique self. I rolled my wheelchair, with much difficulty, out to the dining room. "There you are." My father said. I smiled. "So... Are we leaving?" I asked. "Actually, Jay and Samantha are picking you up..." My father stated. I nodded. Jay Walker and Samantha Gordon were two of my best friends. Jay Walker was adopted by an old couple named Ed and Edna, but Samantha Gordon is daughter of the famous actor Cliff Gordon (Sam is quite famous herself) and she is Jays biological sister. I waited for them to arrive. When they finally got here, we got into the small yet fancy car Samantha had. "So, did you get anything from...ahem... Her yet?" Jay asked me. I laughed along with the two siblings. "Yes. I got a gift this morning." I replied. "Oohh! Zanies got a girlfriend! Zanies got a girlfriend!" Samantha and Jay teased. "Stop!" I laughed. "Oh wait...do you still have a crush on that Nya Smith girl?" Samantha asked. Jay blushed. "You do!" Samantha said. I am honestly surprised Samantha has been able to keep her eyes on the road all this time. "Oh, Jay... I love you sooo much! Will you marry me? We shall be Mrs and Mr Walker Gordon!" I teased in my best Nya voice, which was pretty good. "Haha, flattering." Jay said. We laughed until we got to school.

Samantha and Jay helped me out of the car and we headed inside to see a short blonde boy being beat up. "Leave him alone!" Jay shouted. The boys looked over. I gulped. It was Kai Smith and Cole Menard... the two biggest bullies in Ninjago Academy. "Look who it is... Trash boy, Miss Imma Celebrity, and computer on wheels!" Cole said referring to my friends and I. I got my nickname for my knowledge and disability. "Leave that boy alone.. Or else." I threatened. "Or what? You'll give us a spelling bee? Give it up, Julian." I muttered words I never wish to speak again under my breath. I HATED when people call me by my last name. "Leave the kid alone will you!?" Samantha shouted. "Pick on someone else!" Jay said. I nodded in agreement. "Its OK..." The blonde weakly muttered. I ignored him for the time being. Jay Samantha and I neared Kai and Cole. "I'll say it one more time... Leave him alone." Jay said. "Don't tell me what to do, Walker." Kai said. I was REALLY mad. I, without thinking, attempted to get out of my wheelchair (which worked) and I tackled him. Unfortunately, one of my teachers walked by to see this. Jay and Samantha stood in shock. "Zane Julian and Kai Smith!" She shouted. We both stopped and looked over at her. It was Ms Samaria Grant, one of the meanest teachers in the school. "It was Kai and Cole! They started it!" Jay, Samantha and I shouted. "You two, to the principles office. The rest of you, go see the new vice principle Misako." Samaria said taking Kai and Cole to the office. Jay helped me back in my wheelchair, much to my embarrassment for I had attracted a few people with my anger. Samantha helped the blonde stand and she supported him as he limped down the hall. Jay and I followed. I had never been sent to the office. I was nervous. We opened the door. Vice principle Misako didn't look intimidating. She looked up from her work then saw the blonde. "Son!?"

(Jays POV)

Son? This kid was the vice principals son? "Son?" Said Samantha and Zane, obviously thinking the same thing I was. "Yes, he's my son." Misako replied sighing. She had us all sit down except Zane cause he already was. Misako inspected the kid to see if he was OK. His wrists were swollen, one was cut, his hair was a mess... It might've been already but I didnt know. He likely sprained his ankle cause he was limping. He also had some cuts on his arms, face, and leg. "What happened?" Misako asked me. "I dunno. We walked into the school to find Kai Smith and Cole Menard beating him up." I said. She sighed. "I am sorry we had to be introduced this way. I am Vice principal Misako Garmadon. This is my son, Lloyd." She said gesturing to the kid. Lloyd smiled weakly. "I'm Jay Walker Gordon." I said grinning. "I'm Zane Julian." Zane said. "I'm Samantha Gordon. I don't give autographs at school." Samantha said. Man, my sister was bratty sometimes. "Well, I heard some of what happened. Zane and Lloyd, stay here. Jay and Samantha, head to class. You have mathematics with Mr Garmadon first." Misako said. I sighed as we walked to class. "Ya think they're in trouble?" Samantha asked me as we took our usual seats. "Let's hope not. Its Lloyd's first day, after all..." I muttered. Class started along with the longest year ever.
