2206

Chapter 1 

"Ashley? Ashley?" I'm not sure if it's my imagination or if I'm awake, but I could hear them, yet I can't move. What's going on! I force my eyes to open and accidentally hit one of the scientists who was helping me recover from my slumber. "Who are you!?" "And what are you doing to me!?" I screamed in shock.

"It's okay, Ashley. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the vice principal and the founder of Nyx City. Name's Cove Moon, and these are my loyal assistants, Saturn and Zen," Ms. Cove said.

"Hello," Zen said with a bored expression on his face.

"Hi-ya, Ashley!" Saturn said with excitement in her voice. "I'm Saturn, and this is my partner! You can ask us any questions as you please!"

"Okay then... What year is this?" I said with confusion.

"It is July 23, 2206," Zen said.

"Oh... then who did I accidentally hit?" I said with an awkward smile on my face.

"Me, Ms. Ashley," Zen said, pointing at himself with an annoyed look on his face.

"I am so sorry," I said with that awkward smile of mine.

"It's fine, Ashley... I've dealt with this type of behavior from others..." Zen said. He put one of his hands on the side of his waist where I hit him on the ribs. "You've got a strong punch for a thirteen-year-old," he said.

"Anyways," Saturn said while breaking the silence with a smile on her face, "I can show you where your new dorm is. But maybe we need to get you some new clothes." She looked away from me as Zen and Saturn found some clothes. I looked down at my body as I wore a white shirt and black shorts with some blue sticky gelatin on me. Alright then. I waited patiently for one of them to get me some new clothes.

I started to realize that Zen and Saturn are much younger than the vice principal. They both look like they're in their early twenties, meanwhile Ms. Cove looks like she's in her late thirties. Zen actually looks surprisingly handsome for his age. He has black hair, green eyes, a white lab coat, pale soft skin, a white long-sleeved shirt, and black pants with dress shoes. Saturn has honey-blonde hair, brown eyes, a white lab coat, tan skin, a white dress, and white heels.

A few minutes later, Zen comes back with new clothes for me. "Here," Zen said as he gave me my new clothes.

"Thank you," I said to him.

"We'll give you some privacy for you to change," Saturn said. "Once you're done, come out and we'll show you your new dorm. Okay?" Zen said.

"Yes, sir," I said to him. As they walked out of the room, the gelatin started to fall from my body. "Gross..." I said with disgust in my voice. I changed out of the clothes I had before and changed into new ones. It was a black jumpsuit and some space boots. Once I was done, I came out of the room.

"I'm done," I said to them.

"Great then. Follow me," Zen said.

We made our way to my new dorm. Once we were there, they opened the door and I saw five boys and two girls in the dorm. Some of them were play-fighting, some were sleeping, and some were laughing at each other.

"Hey! Stop this nonsense at once," Zen said coldly, and everyone stopped immediately.

"Um, thank you, Zen, for that," Saturn said. "Anyways, you guys have a new roomie. Her name is Ashley. Please be kind and welcoming to her in this dorm and outside of it," Saturn said calmly and smiled at me.

"Welcome to Nyx Middle School, Ashley," Saturn said while both of them lifted me.
