Lily's POV
When I awoke, I sat up, rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, and yawned. Why is it I always wake up at 5:00 A.M.? I lay back down and looked at my window, but my eye caught something unfamiliar sleeping on the floor.
It was a human figure covered in white; his hair was even white too! His chest was moving up and down so he was still asleep. I contemplated calling for help but then this person may have me down in a few seconds… What else is there to do?
I crawled to the other side of the bed, making as few squeaks as possible. Then I grabbed my percussion set which was always set up and was about to whack him on the head when his eyes opened, showing his shocked, confused light blue eyes. I stared at him for a second; but that left me defenseless for a second too. He used that moment to grab the set from my hands, toss it to the side carefully, and grab my hands which were about to punch him. Before I could scream, he put one of his hands against my mouth and said, "Sh, please shush, it's just me, Zane."
Now I was the one with shocked and confused eyes. "Zane?" I said through his hand.
He let go slowly, ready to take me down if necessary. "Yes. I just transformed into a human body with a potion last night."
I backed away from him warily. "No, that can't be true…"
"Well then where is Zane the Lego then?" he asked.
I looked to the safe, which was clearly open. Then I looked to the table and saw that only three ninja were there. "Why me? Out of all the people you guys could've came to, why me?"
"I'm not allowed to say," Zane said.
"I'm not sure how my mom will react to you…"
"Just leave that to me," he said with a smile. Okay, not weird at all…
"Um… Would you like some cereal or something?"
"Sure."
We went into the kitchen and Boobur started barking, wanting to be released. "Hold on, I need to take Boobur out." I grabbed her leash from the counter, opened the cage, and quickly put on the leash. Then I led her outside to let her do her business.
So, Zane, real. Who would've thought that that could even be possible? Could this be a dream? I pinched myself just to be sure. Nope, definitely not a dream. How am I going to keep track of him? Or will he be fine? Wait…is he going to go to school with me? I caught my breath. School! Would they let a robot go to school? What if the potion did more than make him look human? I shook my head. What am I thinking?
I went inside and found that Zane had served him and me a bowl of Frosted Flakes. He nodded to the chair and I sat in it. As we ate, I noticed that he was looking at me, as if he was afraid that I'd be snatched away at any moment. "So, how was it like being a Lego in a giant world?" I asked.
"It was different I must admit, but nothing a ninja can't handle."
"Hm." When we finished breakfast, it was around 6:00 A.M., so that meant it was time to wake up my brother. Now time for some wrestling.
"Nick," I said, shaking the sleeping boy, "Wake up, today's school and you can't be sleeping in." He groaned and turned over. Ugh, brothers. I yanked him out of bed by his feet, causing him to fall to the floor. "Wakie wakie, lemon squakie," I said, smiling.
So, I decided to skip the details on how my family reacted to him, but here's what happened: my mom woke up and he sprayed this purple spray stuff on her and suddenly she was ok with it! So, I put my stuff together and got ready for swimming. He can't go there since it's already deep into the season. So I told him to grab one of my shirts for school and then ask my bro for the longest, non holey pair of pants to wear. Then I took off with my mom to the Natatorium.
Zane's POV
I didn't quite understand why the school didn't allow all white but I still went into her closet and took out the longest white shirt. Then I asked Nick for pants and he said, "You and my sister are all the same, never wanting to get in trouble." Then he gave me the pants, and even though they were high-water, they still fit.
Then I looked for an old school bag, and then found some folders, spirals, a binder, and a pencil bag. As I filled my backpack, Nick came in and started laughing. "What?"
Continuing to laugh, he said, "You're going to school with a girl bag, that's what!"
I looked at the bag and realized that people at their school would consider this spotted bag 'girlish.' "Uh, by any chance do you have an old school bag I could use?"
"Yeah, it's a one strap though. Wait here." He went away for a moment and then came back with a cameo backpack and tossed it to me. "Here you go."
"Thank you."
"No problem." Then he left me to my own tactics.
"A girl bag, really Zane?" I turned and saw it was Jay. "You're supposed to try and fit in, not stick out like a sore thumb!"
Cole hit him on the side of the head. "Look Zane, just try your best today, and remember, try to get into as many classes as she does. Ok?"
"Ok," I said, unsure. I picked them up and placed them back on the desk.
"Oh, Zane, can you get us something please?" Jay asked.
"What, food? I thought you didn't have to eat."
"So?"
I sighed, grabbed my backpack and lunch bag, and headed out the door. "Zane!"
I turned around to Nick. "What?"
"Our mom's going to drop us off."
"Well, the earlier I get there, the faster I can get enrolled right?"
He thought about that. "I guess, just be careful…great, now I'm sounding like my sister!" He marched inside and I walked. I think I remember how to get there… Oh well, no use of walking right?
As I ran, I started thinking about what we really could be here for. Sensei just said that we'd 'figure it out on our own.' That doesn't make any sense. Ugh…
"Hey you, where are you running to?" I heard from the other side of the road. He wore a white shirt and beige pants. I remember Lily talking about these guys, they're bad students…
"To school," I said casually.
"Well, little nice school boy is walking to school," he teased.
I just kept running. He used VERY cheap words. I mean, come on, really? When I finally arrived at the school, the doors were still locked so I couldn't go inside yet. What to do, what to do…
"Hey, you new here?" I turned around and saw a guy with short, black hair, I think one of Lily's enemies.
"Yeah?"
"What's your name?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"I just want to know."
"Well… I have none for now."
"How could you have no name?"
"I just do, now please leave me alone."
"Fine, chill dude." Then he finally left.
I was really tempted to tell him that all I am is 'chill', but I refrained. I put my bag on the wall and decided to open up my arm… open… Why isn't it opening? It's supposed to… Wait, I can't be… I'm human? Human… But, but…. Wow. Now I can feel, no fake emotions. And I think like humans!
But, now I don't have the internet access whenever I want. I waited for what seemed like fifteen minutes and saw that it was 8:00 A.M. Time to enroll.
