New Guy
Chapter 5: New Guy
Immediately upon walking in the room Jack could smell the strong scent of the desk attendant’s perfume. “Can I help you son,” the women asked. “Yes ma’am, I’m Jack Frost, a new student and came to pick up my schedule,” he answered her with a smile. She looked at the computer and clicked through the names; Jack counted the clicks till she got to the F. “Let’s see Frost, Jack Frost. Yes says your__” she grew silent, and Jack knew why. “Ma’am? Is everything alright,” he asked keeping his smile. She cleared her throat, “Yes, dear I’ll get the principle,” she said before standing up and the clacking of her heels founded to the back. Jack nodded and leaned on his staff that was a few inches taller than him, his messenger bag leaned on his side.
A few seconds later a very familiar and comforting voice greeted his ears. “Jack!” he heard the sound of what was more of an old friend than a future principle. “Mr. M, long time no see,” he joked as the shorter man hugged him and he returned the hug. “It’s been quite a while I agree! Look at you, you’ve certainly grown into a fine young man. Come into my office, there’s so much I want know” The short man said leading him into this office in the back. Once the two had sat down Mr. Moon made the two some cups of coffee. “How are those eyes treating you son?” he asked looking Jack up and down. “Pretty well, haven’t felt pain in years and as long their covered when it’s a bit to sunny, they’re fine.” Jack shrugged and Mr. Moon smiled happily. “Good to hear son! So I take you’ve moved in alright and everything is in order?” The short man asked with an eager smile. Jack nodded, “Yep, the moving company you suggest was great, they were very understanding and helpful. Thanks for your help sir,” Jack nodded at him and the man laughed. “It was a pleasure son. I’m glad to see you’ve made yourself at home. Made any new friends yet,” he whispered with a smirk. Jack chuckle, “I just got here Mr. M.” Mr. Moon laughed, “Very true son, very true. Well let me get your schedule and let you go.” Mr. Moon pulled out a jump drive and Jack handed him one of his tablets. After saving the boy’s schedule in the device he handed it back to Jack.
“I’ve truly enjoyed this time together, and if you need anything at all, or just want to talk don’t hesitate to come and ask me.” Jack nodded taking his tablet and standing up. “Thank you sir, for everything. I’ll look forward to our talks in future,” he smiled and grabbed his bag and the cup of coffee Mr. Moon made for him. “See you around Mr. M,” Jack waved walking out his office. “Thank you for your help Ms. Gretchen,” he smiled at her jumpy reaction. “Oh! Of course dearie! Is… is there anything you need? A guide or, a dog_ Oh! Oh no I didn’t mean.” Jack laughed “No, its fine ma’am thank you though.” He took his leave and put an earpiece in his right ear. The device looked similar to a Bluetooth, but it was white and had a royal blue snowflake in its center. Once he was directed to his first class he found a seat in the second row of the class room by a window. He took the ear piece out and placed it in his pocket, he put the smaller tablet in his bag and replaced it with a slightly bigger tablet and a brown voice recorder. Once he was done he smirked, “Nice to see you again Rapunzel.” The girl behind him squeaked and laughed weakly at her failed attempt to sneak up on him. “You could see me huh?” she asked her voice smiling. She was now at the side of his desk leaning on the desk next to his. “I heard you, you’re a very noisy ninja,” he joked. “Heard me? Yeah right! I was three rows away from you, and I’m an excellent ninja sir!” She held her chin high and crossed her arms.
Jack chuckled, “Oh are you? Well let me prove you wrong my lady.” He turned and pointed at a desk three rows down, “Your friend there wouldn’t stop giggling, and you continuously told her to stay quit with four distinct soft Shushes.” He then pointed a desk one row across from his, “You bumped into that desk and may have made a very small skid mark on the floor. Now it stands 3 inches to the right, closer to the window than it was before. And I’m going on a guess here that you have very long hair. Long enough to wrap around your lower face, and make a whistling sound whenever you breathe.” He finished and looked up at her. He couldn’t see her shocked face, but knew it was there all the same. “Are you impressed, or freaked out?” he asked with an arched eyebrow. “Both! Oh My Gosh! Do you like have super hearing or something?” she said becoming intrigued, ecstatic, and freaked out at the same time. Jack chuckled, “Super hearing? Hmm I wouldn’t say that,” he heard the teacher come in and smirked. “But I will say this, the science of deduction is a powerful thing,” he said with a wink and turned around to the front as the bell rang.
Once class began, the teacher introduced himself as Professor. Ronin, he was their science teacher. “Seems we have a new student. Son why don’t you introduce yourself.” Jack stood and faced the class, though he was use to not seeing people this was far more annoying than a one on one introduction. He couldn’t take this time see his classmates, or see what they may think of him. Jack smiled, “Hey, my name is Jack Frost. I'm not a winter spirit just so you know, and it’s nice to meet you guys.” He heard the giggles of girls and chuckles of guys, and could tell which ones were laughing at his joke and who wasn’t. Jack may have not seen himself in the mirror for a long time, but from the complement he’s received from strangers he knew he was attractive to a large number people. Though his looks got him into trouble sometimes, he was grateful for them. At least he didn’t have to worry about looking bad in the morning.
After his introduction class began. Jack kept his recorder on from start to finish, and made sure his tablet was displaying the correct text book for class. When important notes were said or told to be read the tablet would highlight and Jack would store information in his head. When class came to an end Jack turned to face Rapunzel just as she was walking up to him. She held her head up with her arms crossed looking up at him. “Ok, Mr. Frost. Who are and how are you, so….” She sigh failing to keep her composer and let some giggles escape her lips saying, “Smart?” Jack chuckled, “Why it’s elementary dear Watson.” She laughed and rolled her eyes, “Ok “Sherlock”, what’s your secret?” she asked leaning on a desk with one hand and her other on her hip. The bell rang for the next class and Jack’s head looking up to the intercom, and back at the blond. “Well, it wouldn’t be a mystery if I told now would it?” he smirked before leaving to his next class.
