   Hello! Thank you all for the continued support on this story! I would also like to mention that My Hero(my other Aphmau story) has reached more reads than my Five Nights at Freddy's 2 story. That's kind of huge, and maybe this one will do the same. Thanks for motivating me to write, and for putting a smile on my face... and for that I give you this part. Enjoy!

Your Point of View:

   I looked over to Garroth, who was slightly blushing.
   "O-Ok... can we pretend like that totally didn't happen?" I asked him.
   "Yeah. I think we can. Well, why don't take this time to get to know each other? So, how come you in the middle of year?" we continued a deep conversation for about an hour, before we realized it was close to suppertime! "Well, I had a blast tonight, (F/N). Thanks for checking this out with me!"
   "Aw, of course!"
   "Let's head back. I'm sure you're mom is someone who would want to know everything."
   "You could literally predict the future." I smirked. We hopped into his car, and he drove me home. I got out of the car, and he walked me up to the front door.
   "Thank you for the (F/D), and for taking me to Kawaii~Chan's cafe. Maybe we could do it more often." I smiled.
   "Yeah! Thanks for coming with me. I'll see you at school tomorrow." Garroth walked away, and I entered the front door. Fortunately, it was unlocked. I checked the window, and Garroth drove away. I sighed in an odd way, and my mom must have heard it, because she quickly ran over!
   "(F/N)!" she squealed, "You're just in time! Dinner's ready! You can tell me all about it during dinner!" she flew off, and I chuckled at her childish attitude. I took off my shoes, and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed a plate of (F/M), and sat down at the table. 
   "Hey mom." I smiled, as she sat next to me.
   "Hey honey. So, you and Garroth..."
   "What?"
   "Are you two a thing?"
   "No! We... just met mom!"
   "Well, love never waits."
   "Gross mom." she chuckled, taking a bite of her food, "So, dad's gonna be out for another week. An emergency came up. Sorry honey."
   "Oh. Mom, why is he always gone?"
   "Well, he has to earn the money for our household. But one of his coworkers got hurt, so they have to stay until he's in shape to fly back."
   "I see."
   "Also, guess what?"
   "What?"
   "Because we barely have enough to get by, I got a job!"
   "Wait, what?"
   "Isn't it great? I'm going to be an office worker at the leading technology company!"
   "That's great, but are you going to gone all the time?"
   "I get Sundays off honey. I'm also starting tomorrow, so you're in charge of your own dinner."
   "OK. Well, I'm happy for you mom. Hopefully the job isn't too boring for you." 
   "Well, it might be. But it's best. Your father and I want you to be happy you know. And we wish we could spend more time with you, but it's hard."
   "Yeah, I know. But, on the more awkward side, someone thought Garroth and I were dating at the cafe."
~~Time Skip~~
   Morning? Already? I groaned at the deafening noise of my alarm clock, and got up. My hair was tangled up in bunches of large knots and twists, and I lazily slammed the off button. I got up finally, and put on my school uniform. My mom thought that buying 5 different sets of the outfit would give me a variety. It wasn't much, but at least it was clean. I combed my hair, and my hair was lazily left down, as I didn't want to bother with it. I put on mascara, lip balm, and grabbed my bag. I guess I left it open, as my books and journal fell out. Great. I picked everything up, and I grabbed my journal last, giving it one last glance, before putting it in my bag. I zipped up my backpack, and swung it over my shoulder. I grabbed my keys, and went downstairs, where my mom was all ready for her first fay of work.
   "Hey honey, I made breakfast sandwiches for today. There's also orange juice in the fridge. I got to go to work in 10 minutes here, so because I want to be early, I'm gonna go now. I love you honey."
   "I love you too mom." I hugged her, as she kissed my forehead. She left the house, and I grabbed the sandwich, taking a bite out of it. "Shoot, forgot my phone!" I thought to myself, as I dashed upstairs to grab it. I turned it on, and it made a beeping noise. I looked at the contact, and it was Garroth!

G: Hey, Zane wants to go get a coffee before school. Since it's on the way to your place, want a ride?

Y: Yeah! Thanks!

G: Sure thing! See you in a little bit.

   I turned off my phone, and chuckled. I finished my breakfast, and put on my shoes. I heard the doorbell, and I answered it.
   "Hey Garroth. I'm ready to go!"
   "Great!" I walked out the door, and his brother was sitting in the back. I sat in the passenger seat, and Garroth quickly drove off. We quickly went through the coffee place, and then went to school. All of us got out of the car, and Zane walked over to a group of people. Must have been his friends or something. I walked with Garroth into the school, and we sat down at a table.
   "So, I heard today we're assigned partners in Science class for a project." Garroth sighed.
   "Really?"
   "Yeah. I don't like it when Modzilla does this, most of time I'm doing all the work! It gets to be so frustrating."
   "It was like that before I moved here. I hate having to do all the work. Is everyone nice in Science?" I asked him.
   "Most, except for people like Laurence and Dante. They think they're too cool, because they're on the football team. I guess you would call them popular."
   "I see." the bell rang, and we headed to Science class. Later, more and more students started piling in, and Modzilla took a very quick attendance.
   "OK class! Today, I will be assigning you all partners for one of my favorite labs! So, on the board, I will be writing your partners! Just keep in mind I didn't pick these, in fact I made Ms. Polly do it." he opened up a white board marker, and wrote down names. I slowly read the names, until I found mine.
~~~~
Dante and Nicole
Levin and Kyle
Garroth and Laurence
Megan and Malachi
Tommy and Lucinda
Alexis and (F/N)
~~~~
   "Alright class, now find your partners and I'll pass your expectations and notes." I got up, and Garroth sighed.
   "Really?" he mumbled.
   "Good luck." I whispered.
   "Thanks." I saw a girl with dirty blonde hair and violet eyes walk over to me.
   "Hello, you must be (F/N), I'm Alexis!" 
   "Nice to meet you! So, I guess we're partners?"
   "Yeah! So, we can sit at my assigned desk, since no one's there." we walked over to Alexis's desk, and I set my stuff down, as she pulled up a chair.
   "Before we start, we have some time before Professor Modzilla actually starts passing out things. How did you end up friends with the shyest boy in school?"
   "Huh?"
   "I mean, he's incredibly shy. Sure, he may not seem like it to you, but when school started, I remember Garroth and Zane walking into school. You know, those siblings are opposites if you've noticed. Zane is considered Mr. Popular, even more than Laurence over there, and Garroth is what you'd consider an outcast. I mean, the first day he had only mumbled when answering a question to Modzilla, and nearly all his other teachers. What is off is that he's nearly top in physical education, he even does accelerated combat! All the girls still manage to swoon over him, but he never speaks to anyone. That's why I was shocked to see that you and him were speaking the first day you moved here."
   "That's interesting." I looked over to Garroth, who was trying to ignore Laurence.
   "Yeah..."
   "Hey, Alexis," a boy with similar features to Garroth walked over to her. "Are you going to our football practice after-school? It'd be awesome if you were there!"
   "U-Uh, y-yeah Levin! I'll b-be there!"
   "Awesome!" he walked back to his desk, and I looked over to Alexis, who was blushing.
   "Ooh, does someone have a crush on, Levin?" I smirked.
   "N-No!"
   "You do!" I wiggled my eyebrows at her.
   "Come with me to practice!"
   "What?"
   "Just, please! It not only makes it less awkward for me, but it also gives us t-time to work on the project!" she grinned, as she nervously sweated. I rolled my eyes, and answered,
   "Really?"
   "PLEASE!" she looked at me with puppy eyes. Something told me she did this all the time. But, it was pretty innocent, dang it!
   "Fine!"
   "Yay!" she giggled. What did I get myself into?
~~Time Skip~~
   Garroth and I walked out of the school, and he asked me,
   "So, do you need a ride home?"
   "Actually, I'm going to staying after school, to work on that project with Alexis."
   "Alright, well I'll see you tomorrow then?"
   "You bet!"
   "Great. See you later then, (F/N)." he walked away, and I turned back to the school. I entered the school once more, and saw Alexis walking.
   "Oh! (F/N)!" she saw me and ran over to me, "Thanks for not actually abandoning me, so, are you ready? I brought snacks!" she held up a bag of chips and a huge packet of Oreos.
   "You were going, no matter what, huh? Why so many snacks?"
   "Well, since I know absolutely nothing about football, I get bored. But, don't want to show it in front of Levin, right? So, I bring snacks and things to do, so that it seems like I'm involved, but really not!"
   "That was in a way confusing, but alright... the snacks got me."
   "I knew they would! So, our experiment is on how different clothes take affect in different temperatures."
   "Yep. So, we better get a decent seat for the project, and practice." she nodded, and we walked outside to the fields. The bleachers were completely empty, and Alexis sat closer to the front and middle. I sat next to her, and she grabbed her Science stuff. I grabbed mine as well, and she found the notes Modzilla gave to us. 
  "So, we should probably start with the title, huh?"
  "Yep. How about..." we continued to work for a bit, before I decided to look up, and saw Number 1 totally not defend! "Oh my gosh, if you think that's defending, that's what we call being shoved to the sidelines. Get fired up!" I somewhat yelled. Except, no one heard me except for Alexis.
   "Do you know football?"
   "I used to play flag, so I know a thing or two..."
   "TEACH ME." she whisper-yelled.
   "Fine. Right now, the right side is defending, and the left is offense. As of right now, they're probably doing a scrimmage. Which isn't an official game, it's just practice. Right now, the quarterback is starting the play, so once he says hut or hike, he's going to pass it to a man which he thinks will run the furthest or score." we watched the play, as the quarterback threw to Number 5, which successfully ran somewhere around 18 yards. "So, Number 5 was probably a running-back, since he is pretty fast. Then, defense has to defend, and the only way to do that is by tackling the player, so that they don't score." 
   "Whoa." Alexis whispered. I chuckled, but was interrupted by a coach's whistle. "OK boys, you have 10 minutes to cool off, do some chit-chat, or whatever you kids do." I watched as some of the boys took off their helmets. One of them was Laurence. His hair was slightly messed up from the helmet, but it was good messy. I watched as Levin and Laurence were walking with the boys, but then made their way to us. Huh, why was Laurence heading over here?
   "Hey there, (F/N) was it?" huh, the boy I once saw in Science was now talking to me, formally might I add.
   "Yeah. You're Laurence, right?"
   "That's correct. So what brings you to football practice?"
   "Well, we had to work on a Science project, and Alexis insisted that we did so while watching the practice. I'd say she has a crush." he looked over to Alexis and Levin, and smirked,
   "Really?"
   "Yeah. Plus, while I am talking to a football player, the defense could use some work. Number 1 isn't playing at all. Totally defies the number if you ask me."
   "Unfortunately, he's kind of important. His parents funded our uniforms, in return for him being on the team. Say, have you adjusted?"
   "Yeah, I have. Aphmau's Academy is a great school."
   "Wait a minute, do you know about football, because most of time when girls sit here, they just wait for someone to ask them out. And no girl has ever mentioned the word defense to me, ever." I giggled, and answered,
   "Yeah, I know a bit. I played flag football myself. I know pretty much everything." 
   "That's awesome! Why don't you become the team's student coach? We've been looking for a new once since our last one graduated."
   "Really? Are you sure your coach would like that?"
   "He can be strict, but it also gives you extra credit." he winked. The whistle blew, and he got up, "So, I guess I'll be seeing you around. How about we talk after practice?"
   "Sounds great. See you then." he smiled, walking off with Levin and the rest of the team. Well, he seemed like a nice guy. I smiled, and looked over to Alexis who was silently squealing.
   "He so likes you!" she grinned. I rolled my eyes before replying,
   "You know, I could say the same thing to you. Levin was totally flirting with you." I smirked, as her face turned tomato red. Ah, best football practice ever.

   AW! Alexis and Levin. Which reminds me, because I would like all characters to be featured, I have made all children who basically starred in Minecraft Kindergarten (Levin, Alexis, Malachi, Kyle, Tommy and Megan) all in 9th grade. This is so they fit better in the story. Remember, an academy is for students who may excel in a certain subject, or are very intelligent. So, yeah! I don't have too many characters, since most are probably staff members or teachers... also, I finally introduced Laurence! This makes me happy! Also, this was pretty long for a part. I don't normally make them 300 words over my 2000 word limit, but I thought why not, right? Plus, there's so much more I need to add! So, you got a small backstory for Garroth, and I made you an expert on football. Sorry if you know nothing about football. Truth be told I played flag football in 7th grade, and it was amazing! So, yeah. But that just makes you seem smarter, am I right? Anyways, enough of my rambling on... I hope you enjoyed this part, and I'll see you in the next! Ciao! ~Morgan :D

   
(Also, the only things that were underlined red were Garroth, Levin, Modzilla, and Kawaii. Only names. Goals... you were achieved. No spelling mistakes on a part, check! Woo-hoo!!!!)
