Alfred gave one final look at his room. It was rather empty, everything was packed in his bag. Only his bed, and a few comic book hero posters were left. Yes, Alfred had a secret obsession with comic books. He didn't let ANYONE know about this obsession, not even his best friends. When his sister peeked in his room, she never asked, she assumed it was a boy thing.

"ALFRED! GET DOWN HERE!" His mom called.

"Haha…I'm going to miss this place.." Alfred said quietly, and turned away, picking up about 7 bags of varying sizes. He walked down the stairs, grinning."I'm ready!" Alfred got into the front seat of their mini-van, with Emily waving goodbye from the house. "BE A HERO OUT THERE, SIS!" He smiled and waved back. Then they were off.

As Alfred arrived in the airport, his mom hugged him. "I'm going to miss you..my little hero.." Alfred squirmed out of her grip.

"Moooooooooooom!" He whined. "You're embarrassing me…." Alfred looked around to see if any of his future schoolmates were around.

"FLIGHT 407 TAKING OFF IN 20 MINUTES" The microphone announced.

"THAT"S ME! WOO!" Alfred shouted. People stared. A girl with brown hair held her ears.

"CAN YOU KEEP IT DOWN?" She yelled back with equal volume. "I JUST GOT OFF ONE FLIGHT AND HAVE TO GET ON ANOTHER IN 20 MINUTES."

"SORRY." Alfred screamed across the room. A security guard gave a menacing glare at them both. Alfred's mom face palmed.

"Hun, don't do that ever again in an airport.."

"Sorry mom."

"Be good, ok Alfie?""Ok! Bye." He grinned.

"Call me if you need me!""Yes mom. Are you going now?"

She was walking away, and still screaming commands like eat your vegetables and brush your teeth everyday and such. After she was out of range, he rolled his eyes. "Geez, does she have to be so overprotective?" He sighed.

When Alfred boarded the plane, coincidently, he sat next to the same girl he was screaming at earlier. "Yo! I remember you!" He said in a friendly manner. "Really? Good then! You don't have horrible memory! My name's Sarah!" She extended her hand to shake. "I'm Alfred!" He smiled and gripped her hand and shook it. "Where ya headin', Sarah?"

"To New York City! I heard it was one of them big cities!"

"The biggest! I'm going to school there!"

"Really? Me too!" Her eyes widened in excitement.

"What school?" They looked like two 5 year olds (or 25 year olds) discussing the newest gossip in My Little Pony.

"University of Science and World Studies!""SO AM I! YAHOO!" He yelled loudly as to make the passengers cringe.

"SHHHHHHHHH!" They passengers cried.

"Hey, um, Alfred right? I think we should talk more quieter.."

"Good idea." He grinned.

As they arrived in the airport, they had to split up for a minute. Sarah was extremely hungry, she was going to browse around. Alfred managed to smuggle a big mac on the plane, so he happily ate that. Alfred got his baggage, and waited outside. While looking to his left, he saw a guy getting into a limousine. A british boy, who had the same uniform as Alfred. Alfred automatically thought 'potential friend.'

"Mr. Kirkland, do you need help with your luggage?""No, I'm fine."

"Mr. Kirkland, would you like an extra cushion in your seat?""I'm fine."

"Mr. Kirkland, do you need a-""I SAID I'M BLOODY FINE!" This caused even more bystanders to look up.

"DUDE! THAT"S HARSH, MAN!" Alfred yelled to the boy he didn't' even know. Oh Alfred, you're going to get yourself shot one day.

Arthur glanced up at Alfred and scowled. Sigh. Sometimes Arthur wished he wasn't treated so much like an almighty king. Or an almighty king's son, rather.


Alfred got in the next cab that pulled up, and the ride was nice and smooth. As Alfred arrived at school, he was told to report immediately to his assigned dorm.

"Yo! Dude, are you the dorm assigner person dude?"

"I don't think I'd call it that..but yes I am. Name please?"

"Alfred THE HERO! F. Jones."

"Ah, Alfred F. Jones. Your room is right down the hallway, 26b."

"Sweet! Thanks dude!" Alfred rushed down the hallway, eager to see his new roommate. He opened the door and saw a Mexican boy sleeping on his couch with his feet up. Alfred shook the boy. The boy blinked, and then greeted Alfred with a warm smile.

"HOLA! Me llamo Alejandro!" He said.

Oh boy. This is going to be a long school year.


A wild Mexico appeared! Alejandro Rodriguez :3
