"Mr. Mustashio. Hmmm…" Astro looked at the numbers on the class room doors. Toby's old teacher was Mr. Mustashio, so it figures that Astro is having him today. "Number 44. Here we are." Astro opened the door; making a hissing sound as it opened. He walked into a sleek, shiny class room. Some kids looked up from their desks. Mr. Mustashio looked up and smiled. "Alright students! We have a new student in our class!" some children looked up, most kept working silently. "Everyone, this is Astro." Everyone who was looking gasped. Everyone who wasn't looking then looked and gasped. (Me: GASP!)
"You mean, THE Astro?" a boy with black spiffy hair asked.
"Am I really that well known?" Astro said.
"YEAH! You defeated the Peace Keeper! And then you died, and then you didn't die… it was AWESOME!" another kid called Kennich said, a red head with naturally really big eyes and a scrawny body.
"Well, you can tell which people got a front row seat…" Astro mumbled.
"You are based on someone else, aren't you? Toby." Said a boy with golden brown hair cut into a bob cut. Deep down in Toby's memories, the boy looked familiar. Astro knew him.
"Err…" he wondered what to say.
"Right! Astro, you can sit next to Nick." Mr. Mustashio interrupted, pointing to the seat behind the boy Astro knew. He walked over and sat down. "Okay students! After you've finished that pop quiz we will watch that video we've been studying." Astro looked down at his touch screen desk and took out the pen out if the side of the desk. He pressed own on the screen and began the test.

A kid next to Astro who was finished with the test started to look over to him.

A girl with golden pig tails started to look.

Soon everyone was around Astro, working on the second test.

Year Level Finished
Astro smiled and looked up. In front of him was Nick. "Whoa! What?" he looked at all the people around him. They laughed. "You're incredible! You did it so fast!" said the girl with pig tails called Henna.
"Toby was just as fast. Remember?" Nick mumbled.
"Cut it out, Nick. We all know you miss him, but Astro ISN'T Toby." Replied a girl, Ember. She had straight, smoky brown hair covered over with a black beanie. Her eyes were small and were a shade in-between yellow and green. She mostly wore red and black, with a glove with the fingers cut off worn on her right hand. Astro lay back in his seat, watching the fight. Nick slammed his hands down on Astro's desk.
"Who are you to say whether I miss someone or not!" he yelled. Ember grabbed the back of Astro's chair and leaned over to Nick.
"We ALL miss him, loser! Beside, Astro's supposed to be him anyway!" Astro turned his head away in thought.
"Students! What is going on here?" Mr. Mustashio demanded, walking over to separate the fight.
"Well, he's doing a lousy job! I prefer a HUMAN!" everyone gasped and took a step back. Henna bended down to Astro's face.
"Astro?" Astro's chest heaved. He quickly got up, and ran out the door. Ember shoved Nick on the shoulder.
"Loser…"
