"NEW YEAR, NEW SCHOOL"

Masterlist | Credits go to @jiphenn | Characters: Felix (he/him), Reagan (she/her), Bliss (she/her), Akali (he/him)

Felix was awoken to the ear-rupturing sound of his alarm blaring and the bright sun glaring into his eyes. 

He groaned, burying his face deeper into his pillow and trying to drown out the noise. Ugh, he thought, shrinking down even further under the welcoming warmth of his blanket, the softness of his mattress and the fortress of pillows snuggling his body making the action of merely opening his eyes impossible. Not today. 

It was at that moment that his phone started to blow up, piercing notifications going off one after the other after the other. Felix sighed loudly, scrambling to shut off his alarm and pick up his phone. He rolled over onto his back, met by a bunch of texts from his group chat: 

Inside Felix’s Bowl Cut 🥣 • 2 active 

Felix wake up 

Are you awake Felix? We’re coming to pick you up!

Wake up

Felix sent a quick text back, carelessly tossing his phone across his pillows and stumbling out of the cozy comfort of his bed. 

He padded across his room and headed into his closet, eyes scanning over his wide array of clothes. Today was September 1st, and to his dismay, meant it was also his first day at Diantha Rose High School. A brand new school for the start of eleventh grade — a brand new start. No one that suspected him, no one that hated him, no one to mock or judge him. No one that knew about what he really was. A new year…. to make things right. He’d been in more schools than he could count over the past eleven years, the names and faces that were nothing more than a blur, fading from his memory the minute he had to pack up his things and disappear to another town. 

Only this time, Felix was determined. He wasnt going to mess anything up. He wasn’t going to cause more problems. He going to stay. They wouldn’t have to move, there would be no accidental blow-ups on his part, no fights or almost getting caught, and no one was going to find out his secret. 

This year, things would be different. 

But to make that happen first he needed to make a good impression. What other way to do that than with a stunning fashion statement? He peered into his closet, flipping through the many different articles of clothing. Neon colours, stripes and patterns, gems and sparkles, and complex knit designs all greeted him, bright and blinding like always, but for once, he wasn’t satisfied. No, he needed something better. Something eye-catching, but not too outrageous. Something that would turn heads, make him stand out. Something that really screamed Felix Rodriguez. 

“A-ha!” He grinned, eyes landing on a vibrant shirt and pants combo peeking out of the evermost corner, stuffed in there haphazardly — almost forgotten. He shoved the mountain of clothes to the side, pulling out the two very special articles of clothing that had caught his eye: a low cut, tight-fitting turtleneck, which was a blinding neon green in colour; paired with tight, shiny mauve bell bottoms that could not have matched better. This was perfect. 

He shed off his oversized basketball shorts and jersey, tugging on the clothes and adding the final finishing touches to his outfit. With neon green high socks patterned by magenta kisses, a black belt with an intricate rose-shaped buckle, and several silver necklaces, the look was complete. Felix stood in front of his mirror, admiring himself. Besides the bed-head and his empty face — he’d get to that next — he had to admit, he looked incredible (as per usual). He’d really outdone himself this time. 

With this outfit, he was sure to make a lasting impression. 

“Are you awake in there Felix?” A knock came to his door, pulling him from his thoughts. Reagan’s voice, soft and laced with worry, filtered in from the hall. “You can’t be late on your first day.” 

“Yeah, yeah, I’m up!” He called back, plopping down in front of his vanity and starting on fixing his hair and make-up, arguably the most important parts of the look itself. If he wanted to make a good first impression, then he had to get these unruly curls into check. His hair looked like an absolute nightmare right now. 

“Okay, good.” Reagan let out a sigh of relief. “What do you want for breakfast?” 

“Akali and Bliss are picking me up. I’ll just grab something on my way out.” 

Fifteen minutes later, finally content with his appearance, Felix swung out of his room, bag in tow, his phone tucked into his back pocket. 

Reagan was waiting for him in the kitchen. She walked over, watching him with a concerned look as he shoved a croissant into his mouth, before handing him a small goodie bag stuffed to the brim with little hand-made snacks and sweets. “Take these in case you get hungry. And don’t get lost. And make new friends. And if someone messes with you, tell me.” She said, fussing with his hair and smoothing out his shirt. 

Felix sighed, worming out of her grasp and tucking the snacks into his bag. “Yes, mom.” He said with a smirk, rolling his eyes. 

“I’m being serious. You never know what’ll happen.” Reagan let out another stressed and sleep-deprived sigh. 

“Relax. It’ll be fine. Nothing’s going to happen.” He assured her, slinging his bag across his shoulders. And he meant it. Nothing was going to happen this time. He was going to make sure of it. He was just a completely normal human guy, going to a normal human school, with his normal human best friends. Nothing else. No accidents, no mess-ups, and no mishaps. No explosions or losing control. Everything was going to be completely and one hundred percent normal. 

Reagan gripped him by the shoulders, turning so he was fully facing her. Her hands were tight around him, like she was trying to keep the both of them steady. “Felix, you have to be careful. Nobody can find out!” She said, voice tight with anxiety, almost hushed. He could just feel her stress, radiating off of her in waves. But when he met her worried gaze, her eyes softened, just slightly. “I don’t want anything to happen to you.” 

Felix huffed, a mix of guilt and nervousness lingering in his chest as he shrugged her off again, quickly making his escape out of the kitchen and all of Reagan’s smothering. “Yes, yes, I know.” He paused at the doorway, waving off her concerns with a reassuring grin as he called over his shoulder. “You worry too much. I’ll see you tonight, alright?” 

Reagan let out a huff of amused exasperation, smiling despite herself. “What am I going to do with you…” She murmured under her breath, watching her little brother disappear down the hall with a wave. 

Felix burst out of their apartment, skipping down the steps leading to the bakery and giving Paisley a quick wave as he ran past her in the kitchen. As much as he loved Reagan, her nerves definitely weren’t helping him feel calm and prepared for whatever this new school might have in store for him. He knew there were over a million different possibilities for what could go wrong, he knew that his past track record wasn’t helping him in any way, and that even one step out of line could get him taken away…. Or—

No. Felix quickly shook that thought off, doing his best to forget about the possible horror scenarios and push them all out of his mind. It was going to be fine. Reagan was always worried — he was pretty sure she didn’t know how to function at this point without stressing about him just a little bit. So it was fine. He wasn’t going to get caught. Nobody was going to find out. He’d…. He’d make sure of it. 

“Felix!” A familiar chipper voice called out to him the second he stepped foot outside, a welcome distraction from his spiralling thoughts. 

Standing in front of the bakery were his two best friends, Bliss and Akali, one looking much more excited than the other. Bliss’ wispy black bob had been pinned up today with an assortment of cute little barrettes, her hair tucked behind her ears which were adorned with dangly little frog earrings that suited her perfectly. Her soft, pastel aesthetic and comfy clothes greatly contrasted to Akali, who was in all-black, wearing a baggy overcoat that looked far too large and bulky in Felix’s opinion, his dark blue hair neatly parted in the middle, giving a whole “dark and mysterious” look to his appearance. 

“Felix! I missed you!” Bliss said, greeting him with a bright smile, her eyes crinkling around the corners. Unlike Bliss’ wide grin and wave, Akali’s expression was harder to read behind his black mask, his eyes dull and tired. Instead of shouting out Felix’s name, he opted to raise up a gloved hand from inside his pocket in a small wave. “Hi.” 

Felix grinned at the two of them. One thing he knew for certain: With both his best friends at his side, he could tackle anything this new school threw at him, no matter how difficult or stressful it may be. 

“We met up last week, Bliss.” He told her with a small laugh. 

“Last week was so long ago.” Bliss retorted with a roll of her eyes, and Akali let out a huff of laughter. Together, the three turned onto the sidewalk, making their way to the direction of the school. 

“Are you excited for your first day?” Bliss asked, skipping alongside Felix. 

“Ugh.” Felix puffed out his cheeks, letting out a loud and exaggerated groan. “I guess. But it’s school, so….” 

“Maybe you’ll get a boyfriend!” Bliss said in a sing-song, making kissy faces at him. He laughed. “Ew, gross.” 

“Just kidding, just kidding!” Bliss said, shooting him another smile. “There are a lot of nice people here though!” 

Akali turned to Felix with a deadpan look: She’s lying. 

The three continued on their way, the silence of the early morning filled by Felix and Bliss’ nonstop chatting, but eventually, they found themselves in front of the school. 

Over summer break Felix had avoided stepping anywhere near this building — he would have rathered dying than checking out school while on vacation — but seeing Diantha Rose in its full glory now, it was…. Unimpressive, to say the least. Although it was much larger than his last school, it was old and ancient-looking, and kind of more rundown than he had been expecting. Having been to over twenty schools in the past eleven years, he guessed they all just ended up looking more or less the same at one point. Either way, Diantha Rose was definitely nothing to be scared of. Just like he thought, everything here was completely normal. He would fit in just fine. 

“Here we are.” Akali murmured, looking like he wanted to slip away into the shadows and never be seen again. 

“What classes do you guys have first?” Bliss asked. 

Felix pulled out his phone, squinting and the screen and skimming through his schedule. Math 20-2… no, that was third period. English 20-2… or wait, that was next semester. Where was it….?

“You have gym.” Akali said, interrupting Felix’s fumbling. He pointed down at the section that clearly read: 

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 10_5

Wildhorse Prader 

Period: 01 Room: Main Gym 

Felix grinned. So this day could get better. School with his best friends for the first time since probably kindergarten and Gym for first period. Maybe Reagan really was stressed over nothing. This school was a actually starting to seem like it wasn’t going to be so bad, even with its lackluster appearance. 

“I got Social, so I have to leave now.” Bliss said with a sigh. 

“I have Astronomy but it’s by the Gym, so I’ll walk you to class Felix.” Akali offered. With a wave goodbye to Bliss, the two of them set out in direction of the Gym, while she skipped off to wherever her Social class was. 

Akali walked beside Felix, completely silent as they navigated through the busy halls, which were slowly filling up the nearer the clock ticked to nine. But eventually, they stopped in front of two large double doors. “We’re here.” 

“Catch you later!” Felix said with a slight grin, giving him a wave before disappearing inside. 

“Bye.” Akali waved, continuing on the way to his Astronomy class. 

If only Felix had made a run for it while he still had the chance.

Breakfast Ideas Without Eggs 🍓🥞

Eggs are a breakfast staple, but if you're looking to mix it up (or just don’t do eggs), there are so many ways to start the day without cracking a single shell. Here are some delicious, easy-to-make, egg-free breakfast ideas that won’t leave you missing a thing.

1. Oatmeal - Go Beyond the Basics

Oats are a breakfast classic and can be customized endlessly! Cook them on the stovetop with almond or oat milk for extra creaminess, and then top them with:

Fresh berries 🍓

A dollop of almond butter or peanut butter 🥜

A drizzle of honey or maple syrup 🍯

Sprinkle of nuts or seeds 🌰

Pro tip: Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract while cooking for a cozy twist.

2. Avocado Toast (Spice it Up!) 🥑

Use whole-grain bread for extra fiber, and smash a ripe avocado on top. Add some fun toppings like:

Cherry tomatoes 🍅 and basil for a fresh vibe

Chili flakes and a dash of lime for a spicy kick 🌶️

Sliced radishes and hemp seeds for crunch

You’ll get healthy fats, fiber, and so much flavor – all without eggs!

3. Smoothie Bowl 🍌🥭

Blend together frozen banana, mixed berries, and a splash of coconut milk. Pour into a bowl and top with:

Granola for crunch 🥣

Sliced banana, chia seeds, and coconut flakes for extra texture

It’s a refreshing, nutrient-dense, and colorful breakfast that’s easy to personalize.

4. Vegan Pancakes 🥞

Pancakes without eggs? Totally doable! Mix flour, plant-based milk, a touch of vanilla, and a little baking powder, and cook as usual. Top with:

Fresh fruit, like blueberries or strawberries 🍇

Maple syrup or agave

A dollop of coconut yogurt for a creamy finish 🥥

Soft, fluffy, and endlessly customizable!

5. Chia Pudding with Fruits 🍍

Mix chia seeds with your choice of milk (try almond or coconut), and let sit overnight. In the morning, you’ll have a creamy pudding that’s great with:

Fresh mango, pineapple, or berries 🫐

A sprinkle of cinnamon or cacao nibs for an extra treat

It’s packed with fiber, omega-3s, and makes a great grab-and-go option!

Whether you’re avoiding eggs or just looking for something different, these breakfast options have got you covered. Who says breakfast without eggs has to be boring?

Maple Pecan Pie Bread Pudding Recipe 🥖🍁🥧

Ingredients:

- 1 loaf of day-old French bread, cubed (stale bread absorbs the custard best) 🥖

- 4 large eggs 🥚

- 1 cup heavy cream 🥛

- 1 cup whole milk 🥛

- 1 cup packed brown sugar (for a deeper sweetness, try dark brown sugar) 🍬

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍨

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (add a pinch more if you love extra spice) 🌰

- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 🌿

- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂

- 1 cup chopped pecans (toasting the pecans beforehand adds even more flavor) 🌰

- 3/4 cup maple syrup (1/2 cup for topping, plus 1/4 cup in the custard mix) 🍁

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and set aside 🧈.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup until smooth 🥣.

3. Add cubed bread to the bowl, stirring to coat each piece well. Let the bread soak for about 15 minutes so it absorbs the mixture 🕒.

4. Gently fold in the chopped pecans until they are evenly mixed throughout the bread mixture 🌰.

5. Spread the bread mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish 🍞.

6. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup of maple syrup over the top, letting it seep into the mixture for added maple flavor 🍁.

7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding is set 🌞.

8. Once done, allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving ❄️.

Tips: Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a comforting dessert. For extra texture, sprinkle a bit of coarse sugar over the top before baking!
