"Haven't you heard the news? There's a new kid coming to the school next week." Taurtis explained. "People said that the person's a genius."

One of the other boys in Grian's group sat up straighter. Grian thought his name was Tyler or something. "Really? Anything to comment about the persons appearance?"

A boy sitting next to Tyler punched him in the arm. "Dude. A new kid comes to our school and your already trying to size them up?"

"Hey! I'm just scoping out the competition." Tyler exclaimed, putting a hand in a dramatic defensive way.

Taurtis merely shook his head. "Only appearance comments I've heard of right now is that they're tall with black hair and they dress extremely fancy all the time."

"Really?" Grian asked, looking at his taller friend. "Huh, sounds like a rich kid then." He half joked. The boys around him laughed.

========
"Class, would you please give a warm welcome to your new classmate!" The teacher chirped, gesturing to her left.

All eyes turned to the kid who was standing at the front of the room with her. He had his head down slightly, he then looked up at the class, waving and looking shy and nervous. "Hello... I'm-I'm Mumbo Jumbo, nice to... meet you all." Mumbo had a black mustache and red looking eyes that popped out against his ungodly pale skin, and above all else, he wore a black suit to top it all off.

The class all waved back at different times, saying hi or hello back.

After the exchange, the teacher turned to Mumbo. "There's an empty desk in the back next to Taurtis and Grian's table."

Mumbo silently nodded his head, then went and crept along the side of the room to the desk the teacher had instructed him to go to.

Eyes followed him until he sat down, then they all returned their attention to the front of the room to continue the lesson.

Grian glanced at the taller student, feeling a weird pull towards him. But he kept silent and returned his attention back to the front like everyone else had.

=========
"Hey, your Grian right?"

Grian flinched, turning around and seeing a brown haired man standing a little bit behind him. He had a beard along with a robotic looking eye patch. He replied. "Yeah... how do you know my name?"

"Names Iskall, I'm a pal of Mumbo Jumbo's. He's talks a lot about you, ya know."

Grian hesitated for a second. "I... really? What does he say?"

The brown haired man, Iskall merely smiled. "He admires you, finds you absolutely hilarious and adorable. You pretty much are his world right now."

Grian thanked that it was darker, because he could feel his face heat up. "He... admires me?"

"Lemme get to the point, Grian." He stated, his voice dropping to a more threatening sounding tone. "I've seen you around, I also know who you hang out with. Those other boys are bad news. You're hanging out with my pal for a month on a dare. You've got 3 weeks left on that mini challenge."

Grian felt himself tense up. "How do you know that?"

"What are you doing to do after those 3 weeks huh?" Iskall said, continuing to plow forward.

Grian fell silent.

Iskall frowned, his hands remained in his vest pockets. "Mumbo is my pal, and I'd do a lot for him. You are no exception for that. He cares about you, and he thinks you really are his friend. So by all means, suck up your damn pride and actually care to get to know him. Or I can't promise what might happen to you if he finds out."

Grian shuddered, trembling where he stood as Iskall, Mumbo's pal turned and walked away into the darkness. The weird feeling he felt while near Mumbo fading away as Iskall disappeared.

=========
"Oh! Grian, this is Iskall! Iskall, this is Grian, my friend I ramble about all the time." Mumbo chirped, giving a bright smile as he stood at Grian's side.

Grian looked at Iskall. He didn't seem at all that threatening while the sun was shining.

Iskall merely smiled warmly, holding out a hand to Grian to shake. "Well, it's nice to finally meet you Mr. Grian."

Grian merely smiled back, playing along. He had already met Iskall in the dark last week. "Please, pleasures all mine!" Grian said, making eye contact with the brown haired man. The man's eyes alone told Grian to continue to play along.

"So where you both heading?" Iskall asked, letting go of Grian's hand and looking up at Mumbo.

The taller man replied, obliviously smiling back. "Oh, Grian wanted to meet some of the others. I'm gonna introduce him to some of them."

"Mind if a tag along?"

Grian chuckled, clenching his hands discreetly at his sides. "Knock yourself out." He chirped.

============
"Mr. Jumbo if you think you're so smart how about you come up here and explain these questions up here on the board!" Mr. Olson, the Redstone teacher snapped.

A bunch of students all turned their heads back to their mustached peer.

Grian, who was sitting next to him, looked at Mumbo. "Wait you actually going to?!"

Mumbo stared at Mr. Olson and stood up, making his way down to the front of the classroom.

He went up to the board, taking a hold of a white board marker. "Well, this concept is honestly quite simply if you actually managed to teach it properly." Mumbo said before starting to explain the mechanics and such in a more simpler fashion.

Some of the students started to redo their notes and Grian actually saw a bunch of students appear like they just had an Ah Ha moment.

Grian giggled, smirking at Mr. Olson's facial expression, before tuning his ears into what Mumbo was saying.

Fin

Don't screw around with Mumbo when it comes to mechanics, engineering and Redstone- you will die-
