Ezra laughed at Jessica's dismay of being shorter than he was and was about to mention that his sister was extremely short when she mentioned that she should head out. Considering he wasn't going to be busy and his roommate had now fallen asleep he had nothing to and was a little sad to see that Jessica was gonna leave already. He nodded though, feeling a little tired himself. "Yeah if you wanna go then sure, but I'm not stopping you from staying," he laughed, sitting down on his bed and leaning against the wall. He pulled a book from his shelf and opened it, intending to read if Jessica left.

Jessica nodded, '' Yeah, I would love to stay, but I have to deal with that roomie of mine.'' she said a bit annoyed, she looked at the book and sighted look at that..another bookworm. They will probably get along pretty well those two. She thought. She walked to the door and walked out but popped her head at the door frame, '' See ya tomorrow!'' She said winking at him like she knew him forever. She found him pretty nice and cool, not her type but as a friend, they could get along pretty well. She walked back in her room and as expected, her roommate started bombarding her questions. She just dropped on her bed, Fuck my life..she thought and fell asleep as the girl continued babbling and poking her cheek to see if she was awake.

Ezra read his book for hours until it started getting pretty late, at which point he put his book on his desk and stripped down to his boxers, turning the light off. Tomorrow being the first day of classes, Ezra was both excited and nervous for this new experience. He lay awake until real early into the morning, though he was trying to sleep, before he grabbed his pills from the drawer next to his bed and took one. Ezra needed sleeping pills on most nights, but he didn't mind. The only time he ever minded was when he woke up after three hours sleep. He fell asleep almost immediately after hitting the pillow, a dreamless and move less sleep.

Derek woke up abruptly straightening his back and looking around, his heart beat was going fast and he didn't remember where he was. He relaxed a bit when he felt the heat of the sun on his skin and saw a little more clear. He rubbed his eyes and stood back up, he stripped from the clothes he had ended up sleeping with and stepped in the shower for at least half an hour. He walked out of the washroom with a towel around his waist noticing the time, it was already pretty late and the guy didn't seem to wake up. He called out his name but he wouldn't wake up, so he walked to him and pushed his shoulder a bit '' Wake up.'' he said in a calm yet very authoritary way. Seeing him slowly waking up, he grabbed on his uniform and started wearing it.

Ezra


Ezra was woken up by Derek when he pushed him a little, he was going to complain at first but he just sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. He stretched a little and heard his wrists crack. Knowing he'd probably slept in some weird position he stood up and heard all his legs crack from the lack of movement. "What time is it?" He mumbled and yawned. He was not the best person when waking up, and when he looked at the time and saw that it was getting closer and closer for school he groaned and went and took a quick shower, then dried off and dressed in his uniform, his hair was gonna dry straight anyway so he just left it and he was pulling his shoes on when he heard the bell for the lessons to begin.


Genie


Genie had woken up hours ago with her new roommate, who had already gotten her started with all the meditating clear your mind thing, and they were sat meditating when they suddenly heard the bell for school to begin. Already dressed in uniform, Genie smiled at her new friend and stood up, helped her up, and walked with her to her first lesson. Genie was excited to see who she was going to meet, but she did want to see her brother as she hadn't seen him all day yesterday and then they wouldn't even be in the same classes because he was a year above her. She'd probably sit with him at lunch or something.

Jessica had woken up extra late just to make sure to not end up having to discuss with her roommate who had already left. She stepped in her shower and quickly finished and wore her uniform, hating on the skirt they had but made sure it wasn't down to her knees. If she was to put these abomination, might as well be a bit sexy with it. She grabbed hold of her backpack and immediately exited as she heard the bell ring. She walked to the front entrance and noticed both guys walk towards her. '' Hey guys! Had a good sleep?'' she asked with a bit of enthusiasm but yawned at the end of the sentence. Derek nodded poking at her cheek and she simply pouted. He loved teasing her and annoy her in all means.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Oh yeah... Great sleep... The whole three hours of it.." Ezra yawned, his eyes still half closed and cloudy, his hair just a little damp still. He smiled at her though and tugged at his uniform which was uncomfortable and absolutely disgusting, but he was gonna have to put up with it. All of a sudden someone collided with his back and wrapped their arms around him, and would have sent him flying had he not been much taller than the attacker. He turned around slightly and glared at his sister, who immediately backed off knowing how much sleep he probably had, or hadn't had.


"Good morning!" She stated and poked her brother in the shoulder, then looked around her, at the two people her brother was with. "You made friends?" She asked and smiled at them both, waving a little.


Ezra nodded and yawned again, "Yeah, this is Derek and Jessica." He said pointing at them both, then he pointed at Genie. "Guys this is my sister, Genie, who will be leaving now." He said, pushing her away towards some random people. She left happily and Ezra glared after her, then turned to the two again. "Sorry about her." He shrugged, and leaned against a wall tiredly.

Jessica pouted, '' Why did you just let her go...she was so cute.'' she said a bit sad that the girl had already left, but she did seem weird,but she didn't mind as long as it was good weird. Derek scratches his neck and just shrugged, he didn't care about her, he didn't know her and wouldn't put the efforts even if she was his roomies sis, but he wondered why he was kind of rude with her. '' She seems nice.'' he stated boredly looking at Jessica, '' Don't go all cozy with some girl younger than you perv.'' she teased him crossing her arms. Derek winced in disgust, '' Yuke! What the hell is your problem Jess, and you know I wouldn't even think about that!'' he said looking at her feeling insulted. Jessica just laughed and looked at Ezra, ''Wouldn't it great if we were in the same classroom?'' she said.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezra felt a little bad about being so mean to Genie but he just wasn't in the mood today, he didn't want to talk much at all but he knew he actually had to make an effort with these guys so they would be his friends, whereas with his sister he could just say what he liked when he liked and she was stuck with him, and after all Ezra was so tired so it made him kind of grouchy with her. Hearing Jessica's question he grinned, "it would actually yeah," he said, hoping that he was actually in the same classroom with these two as he didn't know anyone else, "what lesson have you guys got now?" He asked.

 

[32sillylight32]

'' I got French,'' Jessica said simultaneously as Derek answered the question,''History.''. Both looked at each other and sighted a bit sad they weren't in the same class like last year. Last year was the best year of their life almost. Derek obviously now called the Ice prince, since most girls found him very attractive, especially in music class but he was so distant and cold towards them. Jessica on the other hand, was almost the most popular girl at school because of her grade, her looks, her sports, she practically excelled in everything.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezra looked down at his timetable. "History." He half smiled, sad that he was going to be alone with just Derek and that Jessica was going to be somewhere else but he was also happy to be able to spend time with Derek considering he thought he was really cool and wanted to get to know him better. Last year in his school Ezra didn't have many friends, the one he did have, Max, fell in love with his sister so now things were pretty awkward between them, so he was just so thankful to have sort of friends for now, and more than one. The second bell rang, symbolising that lessons would begin in a minute and not a minute more. He looked from Jessica and Derek, waiting for them to start walking.

 

[32sillylight32]

Both Derek and Jessica parted, Jessica obviously not enthusiastic about going to class without Derek, he just looked..indifferent like always. He didn't talk much on the way to class, the teacher wasn't there but most student were already seated. A few desk were available in the middle of the class and the front, Derek simply sat one of them not caring where it was, he wasn't the type to associate himself to a spot, he would just take what is available.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezra took the spare chair next to Derek and looked at him, he leaned his hand on his chin like always, it was just the most comfortable way to sit for him. He heard some people whispering behind him and caught a few sentences. "Is that ice prince?" One girl whispered, "I didn't know he socialised with anyone other than Jessica?", and finally, "Who's that other boy?"


Ezra chewed the inside of his cheek and then turned to face Derek. "Why do they call you ice prince?" He laughed, making sure that only Derek heard the question. Ezras arm was draped over the back of his chair and his other resting on the table.

Derek had heard the other groupies that gathered behind them, he only leaned on his chair comfortably, taking all the place he wanted. He shifted his beautiful hazelnut eyes(:3 cause we don't see his eye color in the pic) and looked at Ezra. '' Stupid nickname Jessica told me as a Joke and these girls decided to call me like that to be discreet when they whispered about me...'' he stated while shrugging, '' and I don't really know why they associate me to that.. Something about like being cold and somehow good looking.. anyway, I honesty don't care.'' he concluded opening his books.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezra nodded, opened his books, and went through the lesson in demanded silence on behalf of the strict teacher who would shout a war at you if you breathed too loudly. At the end of the lesson Ezra stood up and sorted out his books, then turned to wait for Derek who was sorting out his. He leaned against his desk and smiled back at a girl who smiled at him as she left the classroom, even though he didn't know her. Ezra sighed as he realised they still had another four lessons of the day left, and looked at his timetable. "English," he muttered to Derek incase he was listening, and if he wasn't then at least he didn't look so awkward.

 

[32sillylight32]

'' Yup.'' Derek said going to his locker to change books, Ezra's locker was actually pretty close same for Jessica who had just spotted them. She walked to them giving them a huge group hug and complaining at how she was bored in class but luckily some volleyball friends of hers were there. They parted a few minutes after since the bell rang and Derek just sat in his desk boredly and not interested in this course, whatsoever. He just ended up sleeping the whole time. Thank god lunch is next period.. he thought as his stomach grumbled.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezra didn't pay much attention to his English lesson and instead spent the entirety of it watching out of the window while the teacher just droned on and on about Shakespeare. When the bell rang for lunch Ezra poked Derek's shoulder in order to wake him up and packed up his own books, stood up, and waited for Derek. When Derek and Ezra walked out of the room and Derek lead him to the lunch room, Ezra was looking around when he spotted a guy from his old school from back when he had lived with his grandmother, and unfortunately the guy spotted him. Ezra looked away quickly as sudden laughter erupted from the table and he glanced over to see them all staring at him. He remembered that guy purely for one reason; he gave Ezra hell for anything that he did. The laughter stopped over on that table, and as Ezra sat down with Derek and Jessica, he heard footsteps walking over to the table, and when he looked up he saw him, Russell Barnes, the typical school bully of his old school, he had no shame and was not afraid of getting caught for what he did. Ezras eyes widened but he remained calm, simply looking back and forth at Derek and Jessica who looked very confused.


The boy spoke, his voice venemous and angry, almost disgusted with Ezra. "What are you doing at this school? Fucking scum. Did your parents not want you or something?" Ezras heart dropped at the mention of his parents, and he glared up at Russell as he finished his sentence. "Oh wait, I forgot... They're dead, aren't they Ryves? Dead as door nails. Wish you were with em'?" Ezra went cold white, he hadn't wanted people to know that him and Genie were orphans but by now they had gathered a bit of attention from other tables. He didn't know what to say to Russell, and just glared up at him as he grinned in satisfaction.

Jessica almost chocked as Russell just insulted Ezra so casually, how dare he just bash someone in plain public and laugh about it. She was about to shout at the guy but Derek had been faster apparently. Derek looked at him with a cold look and a very distant one, he sighted and rubbed his forehead. Russell had been in the same middle school as him before moving to an other state and came back for this college. '' How poor of you treating him like people use to with you Needle D*ck..'' he said indifferently looking straight at his eyes seeing the horror in Barnes eyes. He remembered how horrible Russell was threatened back in the days by the older middle school kid, but once they had left, he became the exact copy of his own bullies. Jessica started laughing, practically cracking up and even some girls who had listened to there little argument tried muffling there laugh. Derek just sighted and grabbed his plate and threw it on a garbage can, '' How lame of you..'' he added and left stretching, most girls looking at his butt, so is Jessica who had that weirdest facial expression at the moment.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezra was just speechless, in shock and he was so embarrassed, but sort of grateful for Derek standing up for him like that. Russell had rolled his eyes and walked away quickly, and Ezra pushed his food around his plate before stuffing some in his mouth avoiding eye contact with Jessica and all of the other people who had witnessed all of that confrontation. He chewed and swallowed, though to him the food tasted like cardboard because he felt so numb, but adrenaline was coursing through him at the same time. Ezra looked at Jessica, who was looking at him silently, and he just looked back at her quietly, putting some more food in his mouth.

Jessica wasn't too sure how to react or abord the subject with Ezra. Obviously, he wasn't interested in talking about it and she wasn't the type to insist too much. She stared at him, he looked very nervous and somehow scared. She sighted and continued eating in silence, but occasionally smiled to Ezra in a reassuring way. At some point she was dragged out with some girls, '' Ezra! I'll have to go but I'll come see you guys later!'' she said as her blonde friend dragged her holding her wrist.


Derek just didn't feel like hearing more noise and prefered leaving the cafeteria in peace. He walked to his locker and grabbed one of his book, it was actually a romance book that he had read at least a thousand times. He wouldn't read it in public, not even in front of Jessica even tho she knew it was his favorite book. He just didn't like answering the lame question about it and the stereotypes. He went to the roof and leaned on the barrier and started reading 50 shades of grey.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

When Jessica left Ezra didn't want to be sat alone in the lunch room and so stood up and threw the remainder of the lunch in the bin before walking out of the room and into the hallway, where some people were having random conversation. He walked outside and checked his watch, he still had about half an hour of lunch left, so he walked over to a free spot of grass underneath a big tree and pulled his phone out of his pocket, and checked on Facebook and on tumblr. Sighing because nothing interesting was happening, he got a message from Max which he ignored, and stared up at the sky for the remainder of lunch time, trying hard to remember life with his parents and not just hearing them cry for help when he wasn't able to get them, only Genie. When the bell rang for the next lesson he walked to them and didn't pay attention, his last two lessons were without Derek or Jessica, so he just sat slowly writing out notes, and when the final bell for the school day rang and everyone left the classroom joyfully, Ezra walked to his dorm room almost robotically, let himself in, and threw his uniform on the floor. Pulling on a black tshirt and black skinny jeans he collapsed on his bed and looked over at his sleeping pills tiredly. If he took some now, then he could fall asleep and not wake up till tomorrow morning, but it was so early, so he left them on the side and just stared up at the ceilings instead, singing one of his favourite songs.


"I'm burning down every bridge we made


I'll watch you choke on the hearts you break


I'm bleeding out every word you said


Go to hell for heaven's sake," he sang, while throwing and catching a baseball up to the ceiling.

Derek had attended the two last classes with Jessica, which he was happy about it since he enjoyed her company the most. When class he finished, he headed towards his dorm and unlocked the door. He heard Ezra sing once he entered the room and looked over to him, He can actually sing like that dude. That's pretty cool.. He though throwing his bag next to his office.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezra didn't stop singing when Derek came in, instead he simply closed his eyes and added hand movements and made himself look more dramatic, but he couldn't finish the song before he was being so dramatic that he was making himself laugh, he sat up on his bed and looked over to Derek, and smiled at him. "Thanks about earlier." He said, straight away, just wanting to get it over and done with, and besides he actually meant it.

[32sillylight32]

Derek actually grinned, and let out a small laugh as he saw him getting over dramatic with his singing. He found this guy ridiculously funny and amusing, even if he didn't show it. '' No problem dude.'' he said his smile fading to his usual look, but it was a little different. He turned back his seat to his computer and gestured him to come see what was on the screen. '' I was actually thinking of making some kind of band, virtual or maybe some youtube band. It's an idea Jess had proposed to me a few days ago when she saw me making that song she showed you yesterday..'' he said a bit shy, but not really. Just trying to be modest about it

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Ezras eyes widened at Derek dramatically as he saw him smile, and he grinned and pointed. "You smiled! You have emotion!" He joked, laughing at himself. He cleared his throat and stopped laughing, then Ezra walked over and peered over Derek's shoulder at the computer screen, he nodded and pulled his chair over near Derek so he could see better and sit down at the same time. "You'd be so good in a band! With your instrumental skills and all that other stuff that you're inhumanly good at." Ezra nodded enthusiastically and leaned back in his chair, not understanding why Derek was telling him this.
