When I got ready to head out to see what type of school I would be enrolling to. I only went to school rarely because of my uncle but I was caught up to all the content that will be needed in life by studying in the library to get up to date on the content. it was a pain though because I had to research everything even things I might not need in the future like pythagoras theorem. I'm not going to go into construction that's one thing so I have no reason to learn it but I had t if i every did the test.

that was most of the subject, useless thing I won't need but I had to learn them and my teacher did explain how I can use them in everyday things in a way and even in fighting which was a key factor when I fought or trained and that caused me to learn a lot of martial arts form him. "can I ask the name of the school?"

"Oh, it's bell academy," said Mr Weber as he smiled and was looking at the road, seemed to be happy that he was going to enrol me to school but I've heard that bell academy is one of the hardest school to get into so I did not know hat I was getting myself into that's for sure.

"Can I ask what your daughters thoughts when you were going to adopt me?" I asked him because I needed to know if I would have problems with, "well to be honest they were against it at first but they got around the idea and we executed it, I know they might be a bit distant from you so they only thing I can say is please take it easy and try to understand them but if they cause a lot of trouble please tell me."

"alright I understand, you don't have to worry beside I survived that hellhole so I survive them" I said with a little chuckle and he seemed to nod to what I said but after that we arrived to the school. it was closer than I thought but still a distance you don't want to walk to, even though I might do it for cardio knowing myself.

"classes still might be going so lets get in and not get noticed by any student's because I know one teacher will be on my case about it" said Mr Weber as he even started to sweat a little and I only nodded and followed him inside and we had to move quick.

"which teacher are you scared of?" I asked him to which he said, "not scared, I hate her because of how annoying she is and if she finds me here she might keep me until 9pm so we have to move quick in and out."

"alright, lets do it, " I said as we both made quick moves to the principles office and when we arrived we entered and we met a man with a skinny build and seemed to resemble a rat, "hey James, it's been awhile?”

”It sure has been, what might I do for you?” He asked Mr Weber with a cocky smile which made me want to swipe him and stomp on him, he seemed to be the type that took all advantages he got but backstabbed them after, “I only want to ask for you to enroll my son to the school.”

his cocky smile grew bigger after that he said, “just leave it to me, only buy a uniform and he’ll be a student here tomorrow.”

After he said that we left and headed back to the car, “what type of person is he?”

“Someone you shouldn’t trust Orion, be careful around him that’s all I have to say to you.”

I nodded to what he said, if he caused me trouble I’ll need to find a way to deal with it so I can get in the easy way with no problems. The bell then rang so me and Me Weber started to run so we can get to the car and we did with no one noticing us.

“That was a close one.”

“You can say that again, we nearly got noticed by the bitch,” said Mr Weber but we got in the car and he drove back but he took a different root to stop at barber shop.

“I’m going to get a small snipping, do you wanna get a hair cut?” He said to which I replied, “ I need a hair cut more than anything.”

We then walked in and we both sat down and Mr Weber said what he wanted while I thought what style I should get. “Can you give me what you think will look good on me.”

she nodded and looked me straight in my eyes and then started to got to work. The only thing I was hearing after that was scissors snipping lumps of my hair and I just let her do what she had to.

After around thirty minutes she was done and I saw what she done to my hair, she made that my bangs were shorter and my side burns where sharp to see. It seemed that I looked more mature but she then washed my hair to which I let her do it while I relaxed.

“when was the last time you got a hair cut?”

“Around 7 years ago, why?” I said to which she replied, “you look better when you have shorter hair.”

I just hummed to what she said and let her continue. After she was done Mr Weber payed for it and we left, “up for a small snack?”

I nodded and we both went to a café nearby, while we were getting looked at my a lot of women. "Is this normal for you?"

"What?"

"Getting extremely looked at by women when walking by?" I specified to which he only had a nervous smile, "sadly yes and even more today because I'm with you so they think double reward."

"How do you deal with it?" I asked, "the only way to deal with it is by having a female with you showing your taken but I just take it and deal with it."

I just sighed and took all of it but I was getting annoyed but had to deal with it, 'I swear this is going to kill me.'

We arrived at the café and we got greeted by the staff, "good day sir, will you be eating with us or taking away?"

"We will be dining in and it will be only the two of us" said Mr Weber and we got escorted by the waiter to our table, "here you are, please may I know what you would like to drink?"

"I will be having an espresso with one croissant" said Mr Weber while I replied, "I will just be having one black coffee."

"Alright please wait for your orders sir." she replied and went to give the order in, "didn't see you to like coffee, thought you more of a smoothie person."

"I hate sweet things so I stay clear of them so I normally drinks coffee" I explained to which he nodded understanding where I was coming form, "that's good beside all of the female in the house love sweet things that it might kill a man."

"haha" I laughed but it was a nervous laugh because I could tell Mr Weber didn't have much say over this and he only listened, "can I ask about what type of school is bell academy is?"

"Bell academy is a school where you shouldn't put down your guard that's the first thing to say," he started which I listened well, "most of the teachers are nice but James can make it harder for you because of the type of person he is. you see when we went to school he always did underhanded things to win but he failed most of the times because I stopped him and it caused him to hate me so he can get revenge on you."

"Why not your daughters?" I asked him, "because the things that he has prepared they won't be able to handle but when he saw you he saw his plan being able to be executed so if he does anything tell me."

I put my hand up to stop him for talking, "Mr Weber you don't have to worry about me, believe it or not i know how to fight and strategies against any of that and he causes a lot of trouble I'll tell you so don't worry about it."

he seemed a little sceptical on what I said and even seemed worried for me but he replied, "I'll trust you on that but if something is too much tell me, please."

I nodded to what he asked for and he sighed then our order arrived to which we drank them and continued talking. this felt nice to have someone like Mr Weber to talk to and to see him as a father figure, the only other person that was like that was my teacher so I was happy my life was changing a tiny bit, I even though it was a little it still felt nice that I can have a family.

after around twenty minutes we finished and we headed back to the house and it seemed like Miss Weber texted to Mr Weber about something important so we headed back and it took us around nine minutes to arrive home but when we did I saw Miss Weber outside with two girls and then I understood that they were my step sisters.

"Orion these two are your sisters, first we have Amelia and second we have Freya," she introduced them, the first was Amelia she had long black hair with red hair and seemed to have a slim figure but was a little shorter than me even though she was older than me. Second was Freya she had short purple hair with silver eyes, she was a little shorter than Amelia and she was younger than me but I just introduced myself, "nice to meet you two, I'm Orion Dyers and I hope we can be a good siblings."

Amelia smiled and nodded while Freya just had an annoyed look and looked away, "Freya be nice his your brother."

"No he isn't beside why a person like him, why not someone better," she retorted back but I sensed that Mr Weber was going to explode behind me, "watch yourself young lady, he is more respectable than you and if I hear you causing him trouble you will see trouble later, understand?"

"But..."

"No buts young lady" he cut her off, "beside I heard you caused some trouble today at school, may I know what that was about?"

She then froze but when did he hear about that, I then remembered the call he got and put the two together. "Well you see I might have slapped a girl because she spilled food over me."

"Where are the stains?" He asked and she didn't answer him, "I cleaned i..."

"will you stop with these lies and tell me the truth!" he shouted at her and I only waited to see what she will say, "I beat up an innocent girl because she was pitiful! Is that better?"

"Is that true Amelia?" he asked her to which she said, "yes and no the girl she beat up was walking away because Freya was screaming at her for not having enough money to buy food and she first spilled her tray of food and then attacked her."

when she finished explained Freya was shaking in fear for what Mr Weber will do to her, "Freya come to my office later and Orion come as well."

He then left but I could tell he was trying to hide his anger, miss Weber was only shaking her head in disappointment form what she heard, "Freya what did she do to you for you to do that?"

Freya didn't answer her only looked away and walked inside not caring at all, "is she spoilt?"

"Sadly yes she is, she has even gotten worse for some reason and Daniel is starting to lose it with her," replied miss Weber sounding a little sad.

We then walked inside hoping we could relax a little. When we got inside we sat at the table and I started talking with Amelia, "can I ask how much the girl has suffered?"

"A lot, to a degree she has bruises on her body and she's scared to walk in school most times."
