Detroit Become Human: A Different Story /ON HOLD/

Wake Up Lieutenant

Connors POV
6:30 AM
Warning: sensitive topic. (School shootings.)

I woke up at exactly 6:30. It was the first day of a new highschool. I have to give a good first impression. I'm not going into an ordinary school, though. I'm going into a Detroit Android Highschool. At least, that's what Hank told me. It's a school full of andriods. Mostly. The teachers are humans, of course. Some kids are too poor to afford to go to a normal human school, however, so they go to our android school. We have separate rooms to go to, though. We learn how to follow instructions, charge, what to do when we are about to shut down from too much damage, the basics. We do have breaks, though.

After have a crisis on what to wear, I was all set and ready to go. I knocked on my little brothers door. "Cole, are you ready to drive to school?" I heard the handle twist, the door opening. "Yeah! Well. No. Got any chocolate on you?" I shook my head, then realizing something. I saw a chocolate bar on Coles bed. "Cole, you have a chocolate bar on your bed. I think it's unreasonable to give you another one." Cole frowned. "No, Connor. You don't understand! I need one more chocolate bar to give to Dad." I was puzzled. "Then why don't you give the on your bed to him?" Cole looked back to his bed, then up to meet my eyes. "That one is for you. For lunch today. I figured Dad didn't pack anything because he's asleep right now." I was surprised. I surely didn't expect a gift from Cole today. "Thank you, Cole. But I can't take it. Give that one to Hank, problem will be solved." Cole grabbed the chocolate bar, returning to his spot behind the door. "Are you sure, Connor? You'll be really hungry, besides, Dad wasted his money on me already, yknow, putting me in school and all." He held out the chocolate candy bar, waiting for a response from me. I knew what he meant by the term 'wasted', Cole didn't want to be put in a human childrens school, not only because it was expensive, but also because he didn't want to be seperated from me. Our old school allowed humans and andriods to be in the same building, until the a deviant shot the school up. He didn't shoot andriods, though. Only the humans. Little Cole was sick that day, so luckily he wasn't..one of the kids who fell into their graves. Not only that, he means there will be no money in my lunch account, his being free. "I mean it, Cole. I don't need your offer. Trust me. But thank you." Cole sighed, defeated. "Alright, Connor. Go see if Dads awake and I'll be out."

I nodded, Cole shutting the door. I checked the time, 7:23? I'm going to be late, but I don't want to anger Hank by ruining his morning. I walked to the kitchen, making fresh coffee. I tapped my foot impatiently. Finally, the coffee was done. I grabbed Hanks favorite cup. It was a mug, with the picture of Cole on it. I poured in the coffee, and opened Hanks door. "Hank? Its me, Connor." I didn't hear a response. I walked closer. "I brought you a cup of coffee, in your favorite mug." I heard a mumble. "What was that?" Hank sighed, sitting up slowly. "I said put it on my nightstand." I nodded, doing as told. He picked up the coffee, sipping from it to get used to the heat first. I said on the side of his bed. "How was your sleep?" I asked. The shirtless man groaned. "Not that great. Had a nightmare about uh." He stopped his sentence to have a sip of his coffee once more. "About you. And Cole. Yknow, about the old school." Hank looked up at me, but then shook his head. "No, no. Forget it. What are you so dressed up for? And uh..what time is it?" I sighed, not believing the question I heard. Did he forget? "Hank, Cole and I have our first day of school today. It's currently 7:28. Hank's eyes widened. "Connor, I'm sorry. I totally forgot. Is Cole ready?" I nodded. "Yes, Cole is ready." Hank threw the blankets over him, setting his coffee down. "Okay, the keys to the car are on the table, go wait in the car. I just need to get a shirt on, and I'll drop you off." I smiled, walking out the bedroom to grab the keys, and get Cole into the car.
