Brief Summary: Previously on the Galactic War in the Heavens, the entrance of two mysterious, feminine figures have appeared at AMA. And Jay is struggling with his feelings for Carlos. Also, their first day at AMA begins. What shall happen in between their classes?
Read on...
A/N: Oh and just a quick warning, A LOT of shifting P. for this chappy as well. Another thing, when you see an asterix by a P.O.V or by a class play the song and when it switches P.O.V. end it otherwise, leave it on repeat. NOTE: Play only one song. Ex: For the first asterix, play Halsey and only that.
1) Halsey - Castle
2) Selena Gomez - Perfect
OMNIPRESENT/NARRATOR P.O.V
Dawn comes and our two teens sleep soundly on their respectful beds; smiles on their faces as they dream of each other being happy with their families; with each other. Their alarm clock starts but they shrug it off and Jay hits the snooze button. And so their day begins. Of sorts...
JAY P.O.V
Ugh... Sun... Can you come out some other time?
Wait... The Sun?
"Oh Crap!" Quickly rising from my bed and taking one glance at the clock and see the time: 0710. WHAT?!
I yell at Carlos to get up and ready himself for school but he just shrugs me off. Damn that boy can sleep alright and he sure looks peaceful in his sleep; cute too. I shake my head in keeping those thoughts down and retry my attempts on waking him up as I get ready. Then a thought occurs to me...
"CARLOS! ZERGLING!"
And a shriek that could've been mistaken to be a witch's wail echoes in our room and pretty soon I am being pelted by pillows and a sheet.
"Wait... There are no Zerglings here." with a yawn to boot from the rude awaken teen. I just chuckle and ruffle his hair. I then tell him to take a look at the time: 0720. And I haven't seen anyone dash to the bathroom, get out from it, and ready himself for the day in less than 10 minutes.
"Huh, that was quick."
"You would be surprised on how I do if my mom forces me to go with her in Press Cons." with a cute chuckle to match that freckled smile. He steps out and leaves me in a daze with a question in my head.
Am I falling for my roommate?
0730 HISTORY
Of all the classes I had to have first it had to be History. Great... Well I can endure an hour and a half for this, I just pray my teacher isn't-
"OK students, good morning."
Oh God, that high squeaky voice. That just means that my history teacher is...
"I will be your History Teacher for the next five months. My name is Snow White."
This is going to be a long five months then. Wait, five months? I raise my hand and ask to kill my doubts. Even some of my classmates were expressing their confusion through mumbles. Ms. White calmed us down and explained that the Academy is giving us a month of preparation for the Games so they have decided that classes should be cut short. Well it's not like we won't need it though; because once you are in battle, everything you have learned in the classroom gets thrown out and instinct is your only surviving mechanism. She then smiles sweetly and proceeds on teaching History. Again, this is going to be a long one hour and twenty-five minutes.
0855 Five Minutes before Factional Assets 101 *
CARLOS P.O.V.
That was a good lesson.
At least I know what I can to make my aim more precise.
Walking up to my next class I bump to another person who was like a wall of meat and we both end up on the floor.
"Oh God, I am so sorr..."
"No, I am so..."
It was Jay. Our faces were just inches away from each other. Our lips this close to touching. I stare into those lips and look at his hazelnut eyes. Apparently he does the same.
"Carlos? Ummm, we are gonna be late for class?" Oh right, there was that. I gently get off of him and help him get up. We enter the classroom and sit right next to each other.
0900 Factional Assets 101
Huh, I wonder who are teacher for this class is. In my Trajectory 101 class it was Ms. Merida Yorkshire. Factional Assets 101 is either Mrs. Leia Solo or Mrs. Mulan Shang.
"Alright, listen up class." Woah that was a voice I wasn't expecting to hear. I look up and see another lady instead of the ones I thought. Her hair is a clear brunette but her front half of hair is gray. She faces us and introduces herself as Ingrid S. Coin. Hmm, her family name seems familiar. She then tells the curriculum for the next five months. Others were shocked as if they didn't know that we will be given a month of preparation. I face Jay, and to my surprise, he wasn't shocked to know it. His teacher must have explained it to them in his last class. She then silences us and proceeds on naming some of the victors in the previous games and explaining the assets of their faction.
She mentions Ravenna's Kingdom, the victor of the First Galactic War Games. Their leader was Queen Ravenna the Great; apparently she was a fan of Alexander. I have read her in books detailing that her Kingdom uses more magic than technology, believing that the old ways were always better than the new technology that the other factions seem to have. The only technology she possessed in her arsenal were her space ships. Don't get me wrong; even though her Kingdom uses laser swords, crossbows which fire gold laser bolts, and plasma shields; oh and armor harder than aluminum yet lighter than that, her ships were considered to be the best ships that the Games have ever seen. Especially her capital ship, the HMS Malevolent because she herself is commanding that ship and that is one ship you wouldn't want to face even if that ship is all alone.
"Mr. De Vil, since you seem to be so interested in the lesson; can you name the capital ship that Queen Ravenna commands herself?"
Well that popped me out of my thoughts about the topic, I stand up and answer her question while explaining that the Raven Queen is a cunning tactician and she uses her immense magical power to manipulate her ships. Sometimes, they can have sharp tendrils surrounding them; attacking the smaller ships that the main guns can't hit, have additional shielding, or even invisibility; even to enemy radar. She nods her head and I sit back down.
She also begins teaching on Freya's Valkyries; the victor of the 25th Galactic War Games. Damn, how old is this woman having to know these? And apparently one of my classmates seems foolish enough to ask that question. Our teacher stops, drops her chalk, and approaches the poor student.
"What were you asking again, little lady?" Oh God, I know who her parents are now. The infamous Cornelius and Ignis Coin of the Ravenna Kingdom, Ignis is the granddaughter of Queen Ravenna herself. This means that Ingrid is a very powerful witch.
"I mean, to have this enough knowledge in detail, not even a doctorate in Factions can know-"
Ms. Coin grabs her by the neck and lifts her off of her chair. The whole class stares in fear, even I am shaking in my boots. I feel a hand on top of mine; I jump a bit from the fright and look at the hand that is on mine. I see Jay trying to comfort me as much as possible. Well by as much as possible, he was just rubbing my hand and it was pretty comforting.
"You will know your place, young lady. In fact..." She opens her mouth and the student does the same. What happens next shocked the entire room; Ms. Coin begins inhaling deeply and the student is turning older. Our teacher just drops her on the ground and she is barely breathing. Ms. Coin goes back to the front and when she faces us again, she looked younger than before. Her hair is now completely brown now and she has lost some of her wrinkles. As she opens her mouth to continue the lesson, the bell rings.
"Well, class dismissed then. Learn on the Freya's Valkyries faction for there will be a short graded recitation about this topc." she also snaps her fingers and exits the room. The student she sucked the life out, just gets up and looks like her regular age; trauma was still written on her face and she exits the classroom. I face Jay and he just shrugs.
"So, where's your next room C?" Aww, that's sweet of him to bring me to my next class. I tell him it's History with Ms. Snow and I ask what his next class was; it was Trajectory 101. He nods and walks with me to my next classroom.
"What do you think of that display Jay?"
"Well, it was frightening; make me think twice on what to say when I have to face her next."
I chuckle and nod in agreement; I say my farewell as I enter my History class. Hmm probably should've warned Jay about Ms. Merida but I think he will find out about her soon.
(A/N: OK we are skipping classes xD I mean I MAY be a big fan of History but I also find it boring. On to the next one)
1200 Lunch
JAY P.O.V.
Damn, that was also a tough class too. First, I had to have a boring one with Ms. White. Then, there's F.A 101 with that witch who consumes young women to maintain her youth, I think and finally, this Scottish teacher who is pretty strict when it comes to shooting; especially with a bow. Ugh what is this place?
Glad it is Lunch time, I can finally relax for a while. Instead of going to the cafeteria, I decided to head back to the dorm room because I am pretty damn tired for the first three classes. And I will need my strength for Strategic Dominance and Physical Training. Hmm, I will be seeing Carlos in action; both in the commanding line and in the field. Haaa, he is going to be hot. Wait, what?
"Oof"
"Would watch where you're go-"
Oh it's her; that lady from the entrance. And we're both here; on the floor; with her on top of me; in front of my room. Switching the Jay Charm on
"Hello foxy." Smile "The name's-"
"Yeah, hi Jay." Oh wow buzzkill strikes again, she gets up and so do I. She then apologizes for being rude yesterday and introduces herself to me.
"So what are you up to Jay? Not gonna have lunch?"
"Well, I was planning on resting for a bit before grabbing a bite." again with a smile but softer this time and I open up my room.
"Oh? Alright then." a smirk was on her face. Funny, why would she be smirking at me? I see on her hand some sparkling blue dust. Wait blue dust? She blows it at my face and the next thing I knew, everything goes dark.
AUDREY P.O.V
Well now, I have him in my clutches but dang, I didn't think this through. He is friends with that De Vil boy and I need to assure victory for my parents. I have seen how De Vil stares at him and know that he has the hots for Jay so I need to make a claim, even though fake, so that he doesn't win.
Dragging him unto his bed was tough because he is heavy and I had to guess which one was his. The messiest one must've been his because he looks like he doesn't fix after himself.
Once he was on the bed, I began stripping him. Huh, he IS hot. If by some miracle, he and that boy are a couple he is lucky. And when the pants came off, good lord what a package! But I think I will leave his boxers on. I then made a messy pile of his clothes, began stripping till my lingerie, and placing them on the pile too. I climb unto his bed, place his arm around my waist, put my head on his chest, and wait for De Vil to return to the room.
CARLOS P.O.V. *
Huh, Ms. Snow has a certain way when it comes to history. Her teaching method was strange yet effective.
Well it was time for lunch. Thank God. I move to the cafeteria, grab some grub, and look for another table.
"Carlos? Carlos! Over here!" Woah, who was calling me? Are there any paparazzi around? I look toward the voices calling me and I smile when I found out who it was.
"Mal! Evie! It's good to FINALLY see you guys." I approach them with my tray of food and sit with them on their table. We began talking on how we are doing and upcoming plans for the games.
"Hey Carlos, I was wondering. Who was the hot guy you had a while ago? You know the one that walked with you for history class?" Oh God, Evie saw that? I blush and began talking about Jay.
"Aww, isn't that sweet, E? Carlos here has a crush on his roommate." Chuckles are heard by the girls.
"Oh haha, very funny. Wait a second." I then ask them how they got in the academy since I didn't see them by the entrance yesterday. Mal just points to Evie; who grins shyly and scratches the back of her head. Before she could answer, the Announcement chime echoes in the school.
"ATTENTION STUDENTS, FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS, LUNCH PERIOD HAS BEEN EXTENDED. INSTEAD OF 1200 TO 1230, IT IS NOW FROM 1200 TILL 1330. STRATEGIC DOMINANCE AND PHYSICAL TRAINING CLASSES ARE ALSO EXTENDED FROM AN HOUR AND A HALF TO THREE HOURS. THAT IS ALL."
And the chime echoes signaling the end.
Well, lunch has been extended. I ask my childhood friends if they want to continue in my room. They agree and walk along with me. Wait, what if Jay was there? If he is, at least I can introduce them to him. Speaking of Jay, I wonder how he feels for me. Even I am beginning to question my feelings for him too, I mean I just met the guy for crying out loud but it's like I have known him as long as I have known Mal and Evie.
"We're here." I tell them and proceed to open the door. Upon entering, I see a pile of clothes at the corner and what I saw just answered my question on Jay. He was in bed with a girl; to make it worse, it was my bed they were lying on. Mal and Evie see this, frown, and attempted to drag me out but I broke out of their grip and made a dash for it. Tears falling from my eyes, I go to the one place where I know can be alone; the Training Arena. Once there, I just let it all out and I yell at the top of my voice; psionic energy erupts from me and things near me flew away from me violently.
How can I be so gullible? I knew Jay was straight; he would never go for someone like me. A freak, someone who is just hiding behind the shadow of their parents; I just continue letting the tears flow from my face.
EVIE P.O.V.
Poor Carlos, he must be devastated to know that his crush doesn't like him back or does he? I can't help the feeling that something doesn't feel right.
"Mal, I am sensing something awfully strange. Do you sense it as much as I am?" She nods and my Empress of the Swarm senses are kicking in; detecting a hint of magic in the room. I know Carlos is strong in the Psionic world and from his stories about Jay's mom being the Psychic Archangel; Jay must have some Psionics and/or Magic in his muscular veins but they aren't coming from him. It's coming from the girl who is lying beside him. I tell Mal this and we slowly approach the bed.
Would you look at that, this girl has Jorium Powder on her. Just a simple whiff from this, it could knock you out for a couple of minutes. But judging from Jay's face, the effects of Jorium have ran out; he must've been really exhausted for the first part of the day. Meaning they didn't hear the announcements that were made a while ago. I tell Mal to wake the girl up as rudely as possible, which she agrees by shocking her with a little lightning. The girl shrieks and jumps out of the bed. Which in turn, wakes Jay up; he gets up and… Oh, now I can see why Carlos is going for him. He is like a Greek God! Jay looks at himself and covers himself up with the sheets, he even asks the girl; whose name is Audrey, on what was she doing in his room. Well he even asks us that question too. We explain everything to Jay from the announcement made a while ago up to our 'investigation' of him getting drugged.
"Wait, you drugged me?" Anger was written all over Jay's face and if I didn't know any better, I would think that he was going to punch her even though she is a girl. Luckily, Mal stopped him from doing so and asked him to get dressed. "Audrey, I never EVER want to see your face again!" And with that he kicks her out of the room; in nothing but her underwear. We could hear the laughter echoing from the other side.
Jay proceeds on getting dressed and begins asking where Carlos, who he calls C, was. Aw that is cute of him to give our little pup a nickname. We shake heads and tell him what happened when we entered the room. He groans and puts his hands over his face.
"What am I going to do?" I can clearly see that he really cares for Carlos. Carlos might have a chance to be with him.
"Well," was heard from Mal as she got comfy on the other bed. "you could find Carlos and explaining this to him. That way, he wouldn't be that upset."
Jay brightens up a bit and smiles. He expresses his thanks and was about to introduce himself to us but we stop him and proceed on letting him know that Carlos has told us about him but we introduced ourselves. Boy was he shocked.
"Y…You're the daughter of the Queen of Blades? And you're the Highlady's?" Clearly he knew who we were. We just chuckled and nodded our heads in agreement. We also reminded him to look for Carlos.
That woke him up from his fanboy daze. With a small smile and quick 'bye', he dashes out of the door to look for our childhood friend.
I hope you can explain this well Jay because it looks like the stars were aligned for the both of you to be together.
A/N: Well that was the Day in the Life of Jay and Carlos Part Deux! Poor Carlos and damn Audrey hahaha. I hope you guys saw some of the easter eggs on this one.
One quick announcement though. My updating schedule has changed and it's shaky right now. I will post whenever I can instead of having specific days of posting because honestly with school just starting, I am going to have to be serious this semester (3rd year college problems XD). So yeah, you will hear from me again very soon. Leave a kudos and a comment to let me know how much you are enjoying the story. What's gonna happen next? Find out in the next chapter of The Galactic War in the Heavens!
See you all in the next one!
