It was the first day of classes and Lloyd was nervous. Not just because of first day jitters, because someone knows he is a murder.
Lloyd couldn't fall asleep last night, he just stared up at the ceiling and sometimes at his roommate who was sleeping peacefully all night.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! 7:45 AM, the alarm clock went off. Lloyd quickly shut his eyes so it looked like he was sleeping, but when he did, all he saw was that text message.
He kept his eyes closed as he heard shuffling, Morro was up. He listened to the floor creak, the door opened and shut.
Lloyd sat up and let out a sigh of relief when Morro was gone, he could never know about that message.
He got out of bed and searched for an outfit to wear, he defiantly couldn't wear his PJ's as they were all sweaty.
"Hey Lloyd." Lloyd jerked his head up from the draw to see his roommate.
"Hey Morro, ready for college?"
Morro led out a weak laugh and sat down on his bed. "No, I'm exhausted, I didn't get any sleep." He glared at Lloyd. "Because of you."
Lloyd stepped back. "What did I do?"
"Well, you threw something across the room when I started to drift to sleep, then you kept moving all last night, then you left and came back like 2 minutes later and – "
Lloyd stopped him. "Wait, I left the room and didn't come back for like 15 minutes because I took a walk."
"What? So, someone just came in here?!"
"Calm down, Morro."
"No, what if they stole something!?" Morro jumped up and searched his desk, he let out a sigh of relief as he held something, but Lloyd couldn't see what it was.
"Nothing was stolen on my side." Morro let out a fake smile, but then it went away, he picked up something.
"This note was not here before."
"A note? What does it say? Who is it from?"
Morro scanned the note to see who it was from. "Someone named…Michael…?"
Lloyd eyes grew wide, he jumped up and snatched the note. "Uhhh, Michael is my…brother…"
"Oh, didn't know you had siblings."
"Yep!" Lloyd let out a small laugh.
"Ok, well I need to get ready." Morro walked into the bathroom.
Lloyd breaths quicken, he read the note.
Hello,
You must tell him, before it's too late. You must tell all of these people your secrets, they will help you and you will help them. You will help them find their Destiny's and they will help you…live. They are special just like you, but don't know it yet. Lloyd Garmadon, I need you to gather everyone on the back of this note in the soccer field at 4:15, today. Connected to them, is the secret power they hold, just like you, you also must be there.
-Michael
Lloyd shakily turned the note on its back.
Kai Smith-Fire
Nya Smith-Water
Jay Walker-Lighting
Cole Bucket-Earth
Skylor Chen-Amber
Zane Julien-Ice
Harumi Royal-Telekinesis
Pixal Borg-Illusion
Morro Storm-Wind
Lloyd couldn't believe it, there were some many people with this gift! But how was he supposed to get everyone, he didn't even know a Pixal or Harumi.
Morro walked back in and saw the expression on Lloyd's face. "What's wrong?"
"Um, nothing! But one question, do you know a Pixal or Harumi?" Morro shook his head, confused.
"What did that note say?"
"Eh, nothing important! But, hey want to meet by the soccer field at 4:15?"
"Sure…"
"Ok, great!" Lloyd looked at the clock. "Ah, we are going to be late! I still have to change!"
Morro laughed as Lloyd ran around putting his stuff together and grabbed his clothes.
After he was dressed, Lloyd grabbed his book bag. "Ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
Morro and Lloyd ran out of the door, they had to run or they would be late to their first class.
They had the same first class, so they didn't have to part ways. They both entered the classroom, late.
"Oh and who are you two?" A person asked. She had long brown hair that was tied into a bun, she wore thick black glasses. She had a blue polo tucked into a khaki skirt.
"Um, I'm Lloyd Garmadon and this is Morro Storm."
Morro looked at Lloyd in shock. Shoot. Morro never told him his last name.
"You two are late, why?"
"Lloyd got this note that threw him off."
The teacher raised her brow. "Give me the note."
Lloyd gaped. He could not give the note to the teacher, no way. "Uh, I don't have it."
"Excuses." She shook her head. "Mr. Storm you sit right here and Mr. Garmadon you sit here."
She gave Morro the far right desk in the second row and Lloyd the middle desk in the first row.
Lloyd sat down, and pulled out a piece of paper.
"Good Morning, students. Welcome to English, not normal English, this is college English! No slacking is allowed or your grade will suffer, as well as you. My name is Mrs. Leo. Every first day of school in this class I like to play a game were you introduce yourself to everyone so there will be no introductions in this class tomorrow."
Everyone nodded. Mrs. Leo lifted her hands and sighed. "When I moved my hands like this," She moved her hands like she was lifting up something. "You stand."
She did her movement and without any hesitation, everyone stood. Mrs. Leo nodded and looked around. "You!" She pointed to a girl in the seat next to Lloyd.
"Come up here and introduce yourself." The girl slowly stood up and walked to the front of the class.
She had white hair the was tied into a bun by two brown chopsticks, she was wearing a green dress with black flats. She smiled.
"My name is Harumi," Lloyd shot up. He reached for the note in his pocket and looked at the note. Harumi Royal- Telekinesis.
Lloyd stashed the note away. That was one of the people he needed to gather.
"Nice to meet you Harumi." Mrs. Leo let out a small smile. "Any questions?"
Lloyd raised his hand. Mrs. Leo pointed her finger to him, indicating she called on him. "Ok, two questions. One. What is your last name?"
Harumi gave on a confused look, but then sighed. "Royal."
He smiled. "And, Two. Do you like soccer?"
Lloyd felt Morro's confused gaze, but ignored it.
"It's my favorite sport."
Lloyd nodded. Mrs. Leo pushed her to sit down and pointed to another person. The person quickly came up.
He had blond hair that was standing up, he had icy blue eyes. He was wearing a white button up shirt with some khaki's.
"My name is Zane Julien, I am a straight A student and I am so excited to spend this amazing experience with all of you." He smiled and went to sit down.
Lloyd pulled out the note once again and sighed. Zane Julien-Ice. Another student.
"Any questions?" Mrs. Leo, when no hands raised, she pointed to another girl.
She came up and smiled. She had silver hair that was in a short ponytail, she was wearing a purple shirt with a black skirt and black flats.
"Hello, my name is Pixal Borg, I am also a straight A student and English is my favorite subject."
Instantly, Lloyd looked down at the note. Pixal Borg- Illusions. Check.
"Questions?" No one raised their hand. Mrs. Leo looked around and then pointed to Morro.
Lloyd looked back at his roommate who had gained a worried look. Morro nodded and stood up, walking to the front of the class.
"Hi, I'm Morro Storm." He let on a fake smile and sighed. "Can I sit down now?"
"Any questions?" A hand raised. Mrs. Leo pointed to him.
"Why do you have a green strip in your hair?"
Morro looked completely speechless, why? "Um, I like it."
Lloyd narrowed his eyes. Wrong. No way would he just dye his hair randomly one day. Maybe.
Mrs. Leo nodded and gestured him to sit down. Morro quickly went back to his seat.
Lloyd glanced at the clock, barely 5 minutes had pass, this class was going to take forever.
"You," Mrs. Leo said. "Come up here."
Lloyd snapped out of his thoughts and sighed, it was his turn. Lloyd walked up.
"My name is Lloyd Garmadon, any questions?"
Mrs. Leo stepped back. "Sit down Mr. Garmadon." Lloyd gave her a confused but sat down anyway.
"Anyway, ignoring the disrespect, you, in the back, come up here."
Lloyd sighed. This was going to be a long day.

Lloyd quickly stood up and rushed over to Harumi. He touched her shoulder and motioned her to follow him. He led her over to Zane and Pixal.
"Hey." Lloyd said, smiling.
"Hello." Zane waved, Pixal followed.
"So, how would you guys like to make some friends?" Lloyd asked, still smiling.
"Sure." Harumi stated.
Pixal and Zane looked at each and nodded.
"Great! Meet me at the soccer field at 4:15!" Everyone nodded and Lloyd skidded away to catch up with Morro.
"So Morro, some new friends will be joining us at the field." Lloyd said as him and Morro were walking down the hall.
"Why?"
"I thought it would be nice to expand our friend group."
Morro sighed. "Does it have to do with that note?"
Lloyd forced out a laugh, "Why would you think that?"
"You just seem very cautious about it."
Lloyd looked around the halls and smiled when he saw Jay and Cole. "Hold on,"
Morro rolled his eyes as Lloyd went over to Cole and Jay.
"Hey guys!"
"Hey Lloyd, you ready for cooking class?!" Cole asked, smiling.
Lloyd quickly nodded. "So, you guys want to meet me at the soccer at 4:15?"
"Why?" Jay asked. Same as Morro, always asking why.
"I thought it would be cool to form a club, I've invited a few other people."
Jay and Cole both nodded, Lloyd sighed and skidded off. Now he just needed Kai, Nya and Skylor.
"Lloyd? What this new club about?" Lloyd turned around and rolled his eyes when he saw Kai, a brow raised. "You invited random people and not me!? I am so offended." Kai spoke in a mocking laugh.
Lloyd snorted. "Kai, of course your invited, meet me at the soccer at 4:15, oh and bring Nya and Skylor."
Kai smiled. "Thank you Greenie, I will."
"Don't call me that."
"Just did." Kai stalked off and Lloyd breathed in. Check. He spoke to everyone he needed to come, now would they?
4:10…
Lloyd sat down on the bleachers, holding the note tight in his hands, hoping everyone would arrive.
Minutes pass, 4:14. He start getting nervous, what if they didn't come?
Just then, Lloyd smiled as he saw a bunch of people walking over to the field.
He frowned. Someone was missing.
"Where's Morro?"
Jay shrugged. "He said he had to deal with someone important."
"So, what's going on?" Pixal asked.
"Um, I need everyone here before I can explain." Lloyd answered, secretly praying that Morro would show up.
"What?" Harumi asked, obviously confused.
"I thought this was a club." Kai knew something was up.
"Hey, sorry, I had to deal with something."
Lloyd jumped. Morro was on the bleachers next to Jay and Cole. Lloyd scanned, everyone was here.
He stood up and walked over in front of everyone, confused faces formed. Lloyd breathed in.
"I've gathered you all here for not a club or meeting of new friends, you are here because you all have a gift, you all have elemental powers."
