Danny Green
The red haired boy was usually the first one awake out of most of the students at the Institute. He was never one for sleeping in and actually enjoyed watching the sun rise along with tending to the garden out back. Danny had only been at the school for about year and he already felt like this was his home. Of course he missed his parents and got homesick like most kids did, but the atmosphere of the school was something he had grown accustomed to. Knowing there were others here like him where he could be himself without fear of prejudice was like a dream come true for him.
Danny made sure to grab a quick drink of water that he kept on his nightstand. He did this first thing in the morning as he woke up looking a little green from having no sunlight or water for 8 hours. When this first happened it obviously frightened him, but now it was quite normal. After his natural color came back into his skin from drinking an entire glass of water, he got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to get ready.
After taking a quick shower in his bathroom, he walked out into his room with a towel around his waist. Along his nightstand and window sill were rows of plants that he kept. It wasn't exactly a forest in his room but it was more plants that an average person would keep. His room was clean and tidy so it didn't appear to be a cluttered mess. Grabbing some clothes he laid out on his chair he put threw them on and and looked into his mirror to adjust everything. Today he was going to show off his love for Queen Bee by wearing one of her black concert shirts along with some skinny jeans and a green beanie. He adjusted it on top of his head to make sure it was on right, his bright red hair sticking out covering the top of his forehead. He didn't feel like being all dressy today as the weather called for a casual look.
Danny stepped out quietly not to disturb his sleeping classmates and made his way outside into the greenhouse that was next to the garden to watch the sunrise. As it did, the rays kissed his skin ever so gently as he felt his body start to revitalize and feel the best it could be. It wasn't the brightest sun at the moment since it was battling clouds and drizzle, but anything helped. For the next few minutes, he just walked around the rows of flowers and vegetation to make sure everything was growing correctly. The campus had already been beautiful when he first arrived but since he's been here, he made it look even more spectacular. Most of the new plants, trees, and vegetation was grown thanks in part to Danny. A lot of the fruits and vegetables that were in the mansion's kitchen were grown right in this very garden for students and faculty alike to enjoy. It wasn't asked that he did these activities but rather he just took the initiative and was appreciated for it. Other minor things he did was ask the teachers if they could have some recycling bins for appropriate management of waste products. Some of the students didn't take it lightly that they were being told how to throw away trash but it helped the school stay clean and positive.
So they can get over it.It wasn't before long that some of the male students came out for their morning run as if on cue. It wasn't a bad thing that he got a view of attractive guys taking their job even though most of them were the typical dude-bro-thick-in-the-head jock types. He loathed those types when he first attended public high school but learned to deal with it as they weren't all that bad. Knowing that those boys would soon run into the dinning room and eat everything in sight, it was Danny's cue to head inside for the big welcome breakfast. Saying hello to some passing students, he managed to make his way into the dining room where others were already sat down and took a seat quietly on the other side of Allison. She was practically his best friend here and someone that kept him from going insane.
"Morning," Danny said with a smile to the others who were already there. Looking forward, he noticed there were a stack of pancakes that were for vegans like himself and helped himself to a couple. Soon after everyone had arrived, Bobby gave his usual introduction followed by one of his ice puns that were either a hit or miss. Danny couldn't help but try to hide a smile behind his hand that was covering his mouth as he was chewing. Bobby was like that cool uncle that you had that tried to be hip and cool but ended up being cringeworthy. Nevertheless he was still a cool person.
The red haired boy noticed the withered flowers that were in a glass vase next to the stack of pancakes that stood in front of him at the center of the table. With a slight wave of his hand, the flowers that were slumped over were now standing up with the color returning to their petals almost instantly looking as if they were brand new. With a smile of accomplishment, he looked down to continue eating his vegan pancakes.
