Chapter 3: A Male student at Alfea?
Jayden felt a little out of place walking through Alfea, the corridors were filled with students walking about; some were walking alone; others in groups that varied in numbers but most would turn to look his way and it made Jayden feel more and more uneasy. Even the Winx girls that walked with him telling him not too worry could not lessen how he felt at the moment, although he knew that stares were going to happen, so he sucked up the unsure feelings and instead looked ahead following the girls to the dorm.
Coming to a halt in front of two large turquoise doors Musa went ahead to open them, in which everyone followed in afterward. Jayden gazed around at the dorm's major living area; it was surprisingly not really girly (granted their rooms were a different story…except for Tecna's) Jayden found the dorm to be really pleasant. Finally walking over to one room with its door shut Tecna speaks up "This will be your room, we only really use it for a little bit of storage every now and then but I think your okay since it's mostly Stella's large collection of clothing…" Tecna was cut off when Stella rudely shouted "Hey, it's not my fault I can't fit all in my room!" Tecna just ignored Stella to continue speaking to Jayden "she would be happy to move it elsewhere, right Stella" Tecna looks over to the blonde princess who could only muster a pout and barely registered 'fine'. "Can I go in now?" Jayden asked "Sure it's your room now, make your self at home" Tecna replied happily, Musa in thought spoke up a question about something that everyone forgot to think of "You only have those clothes right?" she asked Jayden, in turn Jayden eyes widened nodded his head "I don't have any other clothes, completely forgot about that, I could only find these clothes while I was at the prison since my bag with all my other stuff probably was left with my friends." Stella getting back into a better spirit speaks up "Oh I can make you some, I'm more used to female wear but I know the specialist's casual wear well it won't very long at all, all I need from you Jayden is some measurements and I'm good to go" Jayden having gotten some hope smiled "Sure thing, but not right at the moment I'm just going to get settled in for a bit then you can measure me" Jayden replied, "Yeah sure thing, well see you in a little while Stella said followed by the rest of the Winx girls as they all left for their rooms, Jayden did the same but he failed to notice Aisha staring at him briefly before departing for her room completely.
A little while later the girls could hear music coming from Jayden's room, the six of them walked over to his room and peered through the partially open door to find Jayden seeming much more relaxed, sitting on a chair at his desk he was listening to some thrash metal while cleaning what looked like a large silver dagger with a dragon etched on the handle, Stella decided to go in considering she was going to at this time anyway. When she entered Jayden looked up instantly; with a snap of his fingers the magically conjured radio stops and he places the dagger on the table with the cloth. Stella stumbles over her words a bit before finally saying what she wanted to say "So i-is that one of yours" she asked pointing at the dangerous looking weapon on the table. Jayden turns to it before realizing the scared look in her eyes, "Oh, I'm sorry yeah that is one of mine, weapons are a pretty big thing with me I just train with them often or do maintenance even in front of people who are not used to them without thinking sorry about that" he apologizes "Don't worry about it you aren't hurting anyone with them, at least I hope you won't, anyway I came to do your measurements is that ok?" Stella replies, Jayden simply nods at her question and she begins (although hesitantly) to measure all that is required to make clothes *Author note: I don't know anything about making clothes so don't expect anything great with Jayden's clothes or expect a sequence in which Stella makes them* as she finishes up Stella thanks him and she walks out at a brisk pace. The rest of the Winx were still standing their waiting for her to return. "You guys watched it all?" Stella said to the girls who felt bad about staying to spy. They all shared guilty blushes before Aisha decided to speak up "We need to stop spying on him before we do it too much to make him feel uneasy, we don't want him to feel that way right?" the others looked to one another before all agreeing, but not before Stella gave Aisha a snarky grin "Oh I'm sure you don'tmean that Aisha~" Stella said in a teasing tone "S-Shut up Stella!" Aisha nearly shouted with an ever-growing blush spreading across her face.
It was beginning to get late and naturally the girls and Jayden went to sleep, the sole boy in the dorm found the bed to be incredibly comfortable and ended up falling asleep pretty fast. Warping into his dreams he sees something he wished never to relieve again, chained to a vertical table Jayden could see the scientist performing the tests on him, resistance to his own element: electricity, how fast his aura can heal him from different types of physical weapons and taking samples of his blood were a few of the torments he received and while Jayden couldn't feel the pain in his dreams he still winced expecting to feel it land on him. He couldn't hear the voices much, mostly muffled talk about him and what they learned from my body and its capabilities to resist pain quickly, maybe they wanted to use that advantage to fight magical beings like him. But then he heard a name, a name that made him shudder remembering. Kasphis. It was the planet he was on, as he thought about it the scientist came back in the room with a clipboard nodding at a man that followed him to do something, the man rose a war hammer over his head striking it down on the still chained Jayden who suddenly woke up just before it made contact. In a sweat he picked up his phone (he got the phone from the school) and dialed Sky (got the number from Bloom if you were wondering) after managing to successfully get a hold of him Jayden told Sky what he remembered, "Kasphis, that entire planet is known to be shady and very unpleasant, you were really there? Man I'm sorry" Sky replied after the explanation. Jayden just sighed "Thanks, I did know Kasphis wasn't a nice planet but to be there was completely different to hearing about it and it was terrible. Anyway now we know where it is, what we need to do is get to the facility destroy any notes and documents that relate to studying magical pain and wound repair and imprison all involved with the program" Jayden stated "Yeah, when we get the approval to go on t this potentially crazy mission we can all go together and shut the place down. Anyway its late got to go Jayden I'll let the others no bye" Sky finished "Yeah seeya man" Jayden replied. Ending the call Jayden went back to sleep feeling much better having got on the right track.
The next day the Winx got ready for their classes, Jayden was forced to use his clothes from yesterday since Stella had only started making some for him, but he didn't complain. He had several classes were he was by himself which he did admittedly feel weird about, but he pushed through and managed to do well and the stares had decreased exponentially to boot. Jayden was feeling much better walking through the corridors at second break he decided he would do a bit of sword training just so he would feel even more at home. Going out to the courtyard he took a stance in the middle of the platform in the middle were he conjured up a medium sized sword that resembled Sky's laser sword but instead was more metallic. People began to stare at what Jayden was about to do, but he didn't care, he began picturing enemies around him and he began to go into action slashing and dodging and spinning his way around the platform attack the invisible enemies occasionally throwing a harmless form of his actual attack spells, while also leaping about to dodge much more outstretching attacks. The students watched in awe as the boy attacked with metaphorically well landed strikes on the invisible foes. The Winx were chatting as they began to walk out into the courtyard to notice nearly everyone out there was staring at Jayden. They ran over gob smacked at his performance (Aisha even more so), Jayden finished off his fighting with an aerial strike on the last foe's invisible chest, as he conjured the sword away and dusted his hands together he looked around to see everyone including the Winx were close to him …staring. "That was amazing!" a random student shouted "Does he have a girlfriend!" another one said, Jayden was feeling nervous again and decided to run away from the crowd so Stella (being the attention hog she was) could distract them so he could get away. Bloom and the others came up to him trying to make him feel better "If it makes you feel better, you were really cool" Bloom tried to compliment him, "Why did you run away?" Musa said "It's because I'm just really shy, I don't do large crowds all looking at me, normally when I'm fighting or training in front of a lot of people I zone them out and they aren't there when I'm concentrating so I never notice people staring at me" Jayden said with a low tone, Flora catching on to the word 'shy' decided to act "You're like me, although I've been better with it recently, but still, being shy isn't anything to be ashamed about you just have make sure it doesn't control you that's all" Flora said sweetly. "Yeah we all get nervous from time to time not as much as you but still even the attention hog over there gets nervous" Aisha says also addressing Stella in the background. "I guess you're right ok, lets get out of here guys, I need to let you know on some info about the prison as well." Jayden stated. The others nodded and they began to walk back to the dorm, but not before Jayden asked "Is Stella going to be alright?" the others give brief chuckle "Please we may not be seeing from Stella for at least another hour or two." Tecna replied "That seems about right" Jayden thought.
"Ok girls who want to check out the designs for Jayden's clothes!" Stella shouted to the clearly excited crowd.
