(Title- The Very First Night by Taylor Swift)
By the way all the kids are gonna be Juniors in highschool
(Viktor Pov)
"Sweetie could you come in here for a moment", Viktor heard his mom's voice ring out through their apartment.
"Coming" He said grabbing his crutch before he made his way to the kitchen were he was met with both of his parents holding a piece of paper. They gestured for him to sit down.
"Everything ok?" Viktor said taking a seat.
"Of course son...we just have news" His dad said with a slight smile.
Viktor was slightly uneasy but he waited for them to continue.
"You're a smart kid Viktor and we know your school hasn't been challenging you the way it needs to" His dad starts. Viktor couldn't disagree. He was well past his current classmates and honestly it infuriated him that he couldn't learn more.
"So we," his mother took a steeling breath, " your father and I decided it was best to send you to another school. Its called Piltover Academy. Its a prestigious academy known for its academics." His mother said passing him a pamphlet.
His father cut in, "Yea it's a great school and well we want to sed you there"
Viktor was quiet for a moment, silently reading the pamphlet in awe. This school sounded like a dream. He wasn't having the best time at his current school. Apart from the rudimentary education, he was also severely bullied because of his disability. But flipping through the pages he knew this was a fantasy.
"We-we can't afford this" He slid the pamphlet back to his mom, "I mean it sounds perfect but..." he trailed off.
His mother grabbed his hands.
"Dear you qualified for a full scholarship, so if you want to go here you can...no expense" she said smiling at her son.
No expense? so he could go
"I-but its so far away" He tried to reason but unsure as to why. This was his dream.
"Yes you would have to board there but I think that will make it easier for you to make friends" His father explained.
Boarding? roommate? well maybe this wasn't as much of a dream as he thought. Sure it would be great to have a friend of an equal mind but he wasn't super confident in his abilities to make friends. But then again, it couldn't hurt to try because at the end of the day even if he didn't have friends he was at least getting a better education.
He was still looking down at the counter but after a moment of contemplation he looked up, brighter than he had before, "I want to go"
"Well the school year starts in a couple of weeks, better start getting ready" His father said clasping his son on the shoulder
Maybe highschool wouldn't be so bad anymore
(Jayce's POV)
"Oh Jayce sit down for a minute will you" Ximena Talis said as her son ran through the front door
"yea mom?" He said stopping momentarily
"The school emailed me you're getting a new roommate" She said smiling at her son.
Jayce pumped his fist, "finally" Jayce had a horrible roommate the past two years and he was happy the school finally reassigned him.
"Dinner will be in about an hour"
"Ill be down" He said running up to his room. Flopping onto his bed he pulled out his phone seeing it blown up with texts from his friends.
The first he checked was from his girlfriend Mel. They had been friends but halfway through Sophomore year he had asked her out because it felt right. All their friends said they would be cute together and he couldn't really disagree so why not. She was pretty and smart and nice. She was perfect. But sometimes at night he couldn't help but feel like something was missing...he just wasn't sure what.
Mel: can't call tonight sorry
Jayce: that's fine
That's how it was sometimes between them but he didn't mind. He could call Caitlyn.
She also didn't pick up
Jayce threw his phone, ugh why is no one able to talk. After sulking for all of two seconds he decided to work on his blueprints for his invention idea.
As he sat there drawing sketches he thoughts drifted back to Mel and suddenly he felt bad. There was nothing missing, he was just crazy. He had a perfect girlfriend anyone could ask for. So he texted her again.
Jayce: is everything ok?
Mel: Yea just my mum
Jayce: oh ok
Mel: goodnight Jayce I love you
Jayce: Love you too
Then his next thought was damn... he needs a partner for this years Innovator's Contest
(Mel's Pov)
As Mel sat on her bed her mother's words rang through her head on a loop
"You should be doing better"
"You are no daughter of mine"
As the last tear fell she saw her phone ring with a text from Jayce.
Jayce: is everything ok?
Mel: Yea just my mum
Jayce: oh ok
Mel: goodnight Jayce I love you
Jayce: Love you too
She didn't need to elaborate. She couldn't tell him about all of her mother's actions. So instead dried her eyes and would continue striving to be a Medarda that would make her mother proud.
She turned her head to look at the picture on the wall
"For you Keno"
(Caitlyn Pov)
Maybe she would have called Jayce if she wasn't sitting in her girlfriends lap making out with her.
(Vi Pov)
"You really should turn off that damn phone"
"Oh shut up" Caitlyn laughed before kissing Vi again.
(Powder's Pov)
"Ekko" she slapped his arm with her magazine, "We need to start thinking of what we are gonna do for the innovator's contest"
"Right now" He said half asleep on her floor
"Yes right now...now get up we have to plan"
"ugh"
(Ekko's Pov)
As much as he wanted to stay curled in a ball on Powder's fluffy rug, he could never say no to her.
