It wasn't uncommon in Marlin Academy that one boy would leave, and then another boy would take his place. So, after another average Joe left the school, his parents deeming him to be good enough again to come home, it wasn't shocking when the next day, a new boy showed up.

Everyone had to come down to the common areas to greet the new tenant, like usual. Francis was, of course, among the members. Commander Spangler stood next to the teen, hand moving as he spoke. "Now, he will be moved to the last guy's room," The man explained as he walked back and forth. "HOWEVER!" Commander Spangler yelled, his voice rising as he shouted to the rest of them. A few boys bit back flinches. "He will have a room to himself, and he will NOT be sharing bathrooms! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?"

As he explained everything, a few teens bit back groans, but they all murmured, "Yes, sir," Out of the basic respect they had to give, no matter what.
