Volume 4 Chapter 1: A New Day

"Ugh," Jack groaned as he moved around in his bed. Before long, he looked around and realized where he was. So I wasn't dreaming. It had been two days since he moved to Keith's island.

That room was so horrible. That old, dingy bedroom on Todd's island. The thought was enough to make him shiver.

But he was sleeping in a cozy room. It was three times larger than that one. This one was perfect. He got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom.

It was incredible. The bathroom was communal.

"Morning, Jack!" Arlo waved his hand.

Jack smiled, "Good morning, Arlo." Arlo was a half-dwarf and human. He joined Keith's island before he did. As he brushed his teeth beside him,

"Are Gabriel and Keith up?"

"Gabriel is outside practicing while Leader is in the kitchen," Arlo answered.

"So that's why it smelled so nice while I walked," While Jack headed to the bathroom, the hallway smelled nice. When they came out, Sarah came out as well.

"Good morning, you two!" Sarah smiled.

"Mmhmm, how did you sleep?" Jack questioned.

"It was the best. I have never slept in such a comfy bed!" Sarah stated with a smile.

"Let's go check out the smell," They were all interested. Like that, they arrived in front of the kitchen. They saw a handsome man cooking. Beside him was a little spirit and owl, watching him cook.

"Hello!" Fira spotted the three at the door as she waved her hands. With her response, Keith turned his head,

"You guys are up,"

"Mhmmm," "Good morning, Leader," "Good morning, Keith."

"Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes. Can you guys set up the table?"

"Understood," Without a second later, they grabbed the fork and knives, helping set up the table.

"Good morning, Dorm Mother Diana, Professor Aidiun," As they entered the dining room, they saw Aidiun and Diana. Aidiun was a professor in the academy while Diana was the one who cared for the island.

"Good morning, you three," Diana and Aidiun greeted them. After setting up the table, another handsome man entered the kitchen,

"Oh, sorry. I should have helped you guys out," Gabriel apologized. Arlo shook his head,

"It's okay, Gabriel. You can do that next time."

Keith entered a second later with the food in his hand. Placing it on the table, everyone stared at it. It was sunny-side-up eggs and ham. There were also some hash browns and bread on the side.

"Let's eat!"

"Yeah! Let's eat!" Another voice chimed in. Everyone turned to see it was Cadmus.

Keith sighed, "You got to come in like a normal person," This man either needed a bell around his neck or something. Just looking at Jack and Sarah's shocked expression was enough.

"Let's eat!" Cadmus cared less about it as he wanted to eat.

Like that, everyone started to eat. While they were doing this, Jack and Sarah glanced at Cadmus. This was a strange sight for them. The principal coming here and eating breakfast with them? Who would see that?

"You two will get used to it. Me and Arlo did," Gabriel chuckled. He was shocked in the beginning as well. But since Cadmus came every day, the two got used to it.

"...I see,"

While they ate, Keith stated, "Professor Aidiun, Diana, here." What Keith took out were two lunchboxes.

"What are those?" Aidiun questioned. Keith explained, "These are your lunches."

"Keith, you didn't have to," Diana waved her hand. Keith shook his head,

"It's fine. I made lunch boxes for everyone. Adding two more is nothing."

Adding two more? Jack questioned, "Does that mean-"

"I made you guys your lunch boxes as well. I'll hand it to you when we're at the cafeteria."

"Yay! Thanks a lot, Keith!" Sarah was excited when she heard that. His lunches were so delicious!

"Thank you so much, Keith." Aidiun thanked him. He didn't think Keith would make him one as well. While everyone was happy, there was one who wasn't.

"Hey! Why does Aidiun get a lunchbox and I don't!" Cadmus roared out! Everyone besides him got a lunchbox!

"Because you're eating your quota," Keith shook his head. The deal was one meal and two snacks.

"No fair!" Cadmus cried!

"Stop acting like a baby," Diana shook her head. How was this man her friend? He was a giant baby!

"Aidiun, share some with me,"

"No way!"

"I am your principal!"

"And I will call Sohma on you," Aidiun stated.

"Ignore him. You guys go get changed if you're done eating." Keith turned to Gabriel and the others.

"Understood," Gabriel and the rest walked out. Not before they turned and looked at Cadmus crying.

That was a sight.
