Kendall looked at herself in the mirror in the taxi cab, as she leaned back in her chair, daydreaming about the day that her planet was attacked and then the other numbers being seperated. They were stronger together.. as a team. Kendall sighed looking at the school, as she payed the cab driver getting off of the cab. She walked towards the school, noticing other students laughing, arguing , and gossiping about stuff. Kendall was thinking about what her protector have told her, which she died in the attack back in the planet. Mongadorians , might be back for her and the other numbers...but her main concern was, when will they attack. She sighed opening the door and walking towards her locker, opening it. "Mm. History class." she said grabbing her text books and walking towards her classroom.

Henry was thinking back to what he had been told about his past. His real home was attacked by Mongadorians and he was sent here to this place. He could probably do just well on his own, but he had promised to go to school and don't do anything that might get people suspicious about him. This was easier said then done, he felt like each time he walked in those school doors the only thing people did was look at him. After picking up his own history books he went over to the only person that made this whole school thing worth it, and that was Emma. Henry had taken himself in just forgetting everything else when she was around. He saw her over at the lockers so he ran over to her and placed his arms around her waist. "Hey there" He said with a smile "Ready for history?"

She was at school early this morning, in due to prepare for a test later that day, and though she had studied a lot she couldn't help but to feel a little nervous. "It'll be fine..." she muttered, trying to convince herself about that and calm down. Emma picked out her history books, being a little lost in thoughts, when Henry's arms folded around her. A blush lighted her face, and she wondered if she ever would get used to this sensation "Hey, Henry..." she mumbled, feeling a little bit nervous when he was around, he seemed to have that effect on her. Emma closed her locker quickly, and turned towards him, hugging the books to her chest "Always ready for history!" there was enthusiasm in her voice when she spoke, and a smile formed on her lips as she looked at him. "And you, have you done your homework today?" she asked, teasing him a little, the very same moment the school-clock rang.

Kurt enrolled to the Sword and Cross High School, pushed by the invisible hand of fate, as he was making a "Pit Stop" in Amsterdam. Legalized women booze and pot, what more could a teenager ask for...High School it seems. Because probably while having a bad trip he worked out the papers and "transferred" from a nonexistent school in Holland to the USA. After a last round on the Red Street, Kurt took his leave too the exciting life of Amsterdam from the top of the tallest building. Taking off all his clothes he took a pis right of it, marking this city as his for yet another year. After he carefully packed his clothes in a easy to carry bundle he stepped back a few steps. Bones begun to crack as they lengthened or shortened, thickened or slimmed(?) and started to rearrange into Kurt's body. His body started to grow a thick black fur, a short tail slipped down between his legs, his face rearranged to that of a bat and a thick membrane and last but not least a membrane stretched between all his members, his tail included. With a last high pitched shriek he took of garbing the pouch he just made and fluttered of into the night.

Some days later close to a small town in USA in a forest that is most unfriendly to strangers, Kurt landed in the middle of the night. Using echolocation he easily found a friendly enough cave, where he had as neighbors just some other bats. Returning to his human form he installed himself in a remote but easy to reach alcove, got dressed and headed out. After so much time spent away from woods he felt somewhat nostalgic. Thus he took a slight detour before heading into town for school, doing a round of parkour on the uneven ground of the forest, mapping water and food supply both animal and plants. After unwinding himself from the long flight and learning a bit more about his new home, Kurt headed to the river that streamed through the forest and took a cold shower before heading out for his first day at school. He couldn't have himself reek from the first day, now, could he?

As he reached the school, Kurt was happy that he had all his necessary scholar tools bought by the school and delivered to his locker, of course he payed by credit card from his "homeland". But, even thou his locker was packed with all the possible materials he could need, Kurt only took out a notebook and fountain pen. Then without checking what class he had, just the room, he headed straight there. Thanking God that the hustle and bustle of the first day of school allowed him, for once, to go unobserved he finally reached the 4th year's first class.

Jade had just gotten to this new town about two days ago. Her former name was Esperanza Cortez. When the numbers split up, her protector took her down to the country of Mexico, where they lived for a good fourteen years. She arrived at this planet at the age of four, so she still had a good memory of her old planet.

Signing up for school wasn't hard. She had been placed as, what humans called, a senior in high school. In the country of America, any foreign student would be held back a grade. She sighed as she collected her things in her backpack, and hiding a small blade in a sheath in her boot. Jade lived in an abandoned house in the woods, just north of the school. She lived alone as well. Her Cêpan had died this summer. That was why she had to relocate away from Mexico. The Morgs had found the small village they lived in, even though it was up in the mountains. She checked her outfit before putting on her backpack. She wore so,etching not many would notice. Tan combat boots, light blue skinny jeans with a white button down and a black scarf. She slung her backpack over her shoulder before heading downstairs and heading out the door.

This time, she had her hair a brown color and long, something fairly common amongst humans. She didn't wear anything valuable or try to be special in any way. As Jade finally got to school, she sighed and made her way up the steps. Taking a quick look at the schedule in her hand, she memorized the room number and began walking around, trying to find it.

Lena looked at herself once more in her bathroom mirror, sliding a clip into her golden hair and taking a deep breath. She'd had another nightmare last night, of the night they'd been taken. The nightmare was recurring and each time she had it, Lena woke up in a hot sweat. She was being hunted, they all were, wherever they were. As long as they stayed hidden though, they were safe. Pulling on her clothes and applying the tiniest bit of red lipstick, Lena declared herself ready and left for school.
Arriving there, she walked through the corridor and to her locker, opening it and pulling out her History book.
"History. Yay." She said, sarcastically. She would have preferred to learn about the history of her own planet, she thought, slamming her locker and making her way to class.

Kendall walked into a chair sitting down, placing her bag ontop of her desk. Looking up at the teacher as he was already writing. "Ugh.. already?" she shooked her head as she took out her notebook and her pen and began to write, looking at the door as she saw a guy and girl walking in, it looked like they were a couple. And then another girl came in. Kendall raised an eyebrow as she turned her head back to the teacher paying attention. If she was. Her mind was somewhere else.. it was in her planet. She thought about the other numbers, to see if they were okay, then their protectors dying because they had to protect the numbers. There was too much stuff, in her mind that she just didn't have time to be in school, but she had to.. she had to blend in so the Mogadorians wont find her. But for some..strange reason, she felt.. protected.

Jake awoke with a jolt “Oh gosh I’m late” he said as he jumped out of his bed and made his way to the bathroom. He washed up quickly and got ready, messing up his hair slightly so it looked decent. He threw on a dark hoodie and some jeans and made his down the hall grabbing his backpack on his way out. He turned and yelled “See you Pete” as he closed the door. Jake had been living with his friend Pete for a couple years. After his only friend from his planet died Pete took him and said he could live with him while he figured things out. Jake knew that the other Numbers were out there and that he needed to find them eventually but for now he just needed to lay low. He of course didn’t tell Pete what he really was in fear of putting him in danger.

Jake arrived at school about twenty minutes later rushing through the hall he ran to his locker looking at his schedule he grabbed his history book and made his way for class. As he was walking to class he saw a girl who looked pretty lost. He thought about going to class but he figured he was already late so he ran up to Jade. “Hey do you need any help?” He said to her giving her a smile.

"You know that I am just as smart as you and I don't have to do the homework, so the answer is no" Henry said as a lame excuse to Emma teasing him. As the clock rang you could feel the school change, everyone suddenly stopped talking to each other and went to their class rooms as fast as they could. "And now I would not have time to do them anyway so" He said and laughed, before they started walking to history classes. As Henry got into the class room he quickly found his seat and waited for his teacher to start the class. He did not like the teacher, she had moved Emma as far away from him as she possible could just to be mean to him, it had nothing to with him completely losing focus on class when she was around. Well at least he did not sit next to some noisy asshole, he sat next to this girl named Kendall. Kendall looked like she was lost in her own mind or something so Henry snapped his fingers a couple of times in front of her and tried to get her back to our world. "Kendall? Kendall are you there?"

Emma laughed, "That isn't any big surprise... But anyway, you're right, you seem to manage without it..." she smiled, and it was the truth. Emma had no idea how he did it, but somehow he seemed to do just fine without doing any homework and such, she would probably never understand it. Walking towards the classroom she watched him secretly, he was actually quite handsome, however her thoughts broke of when they reached the classroom. She waved at him, and smiled, putting her books down on the desk. They used to sit together, but for some weird unreasonable cause the teacher had decided to separate them, not only separate apparently she had moved them as far apart as possible. Oh well, it could've been worse, and she couldn't deny that even though she enjoyed having him around he made it harder to concentrate. She dropped down on the chair and opened her book, looking quickly at the homework she had done earlier today, while she waited for the class to start.
