Hi everyone :) I decided to do a 100 Days of the Stuart Trio, so here's the first one.

This kind of follows after the side story "Freshman Orientation" from CP, where the Stuart Trio first meets. Yeah, I couldn't really come up with something else so I just kind of went with this idea XD I hope you like it :)

1. Introduction

After the teachers finally managed to turn the lights back on and calm the students—especially the suspiciously snickering ranks of Windsor—the Heads of the Houses were introduced. The Headmaster separated the students, sending each House away with their respective House Head; the Windsors bounding enthusiastically after Howard, the Hanovers calmly walking after Newman, and the Stuarts strolling languidly after Murdoch.

Julian, Derek and Logan were walking together, hanging back in the group, the speech of Murdoch completely lost to them as they made their way across campus.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Derek asked the movie star, pocketing his phone and turning his full attention towards the two other boys instead of his girlfriends.

Logan turned to look at Julian too, equally interested even though he tried not to show it.

Julian shrugged, expression still as bored and haughty as ever. "My parents decided to put me in this hellhole until my awkward stage is over."

"Awkward stage?"

The actor sighed impatiently, flicking his wrist in the air as he explained. "Yeah, awkward stage. The stage where you're too young to be casted as an adult and too old to be casted as a child."

Logan snorted and Julian sent him a death glare. "Something funny about that, Wright? Like yourparents didn't put you in here for something. I bet they're hiding you too."

Logan glared at him with devastating green eyes. "Fuck you, you arrogant asshole," he snapped.

Julian remained utterly unfazed—merely raising his chin and smirking triumphantly. "I knew it." He looked to Derek next. "And you? Did your parents hide you here, too?"

Derek shook his head and raised an eyebrow defiantly. "No. They just wanted me to have the best education possible, that's why I'm here. None of this "hiding"-bullshit—just to prepare me for taking over the world someday."

Logan snorted incredulously and Julian lowered his sunglasses to sent the athlete a skeptic stare.

"Yeah—right."

But then Murdoch lead the freshmen into Stuart House, and the whole group exclaimed their enthusiasm about the rich interior and the various coffee machines on the counters. Julian grew silent, looking around the common room in mild surprise, eyes wide behind his shades. He'd never been to a school before and Dalton surpassed his expectations. Derek noticed his preoccupation and smirked at him.

"What is it, movie star? Never been in a school before?"

Julian shook his head and shrugged casually. "No, I haven't."

Logan tilted his head in surprise and Derek raised his eyebrows at the honest answer.

Murdoch was instructing the group about the common room, the dorms, the rules—but the trio was well beyond listening, talking quietly to each other as they calmly took in the common room.

Suddenly, Derek jabbed his elbows in both Julian and Logan's sides, immediately earning glares and insults which he pointedly ignored. "Hey guys, when Murdoch finally gives us our rooms—what about a movie night in mine? To celebrate our first day of school?" he suggested lightly, just as Murdoch turned around and gestured for the group to follow him.

Logan snorted, pushing away from the wall and slowly striding after Murdoch. "Whatever. Just not anything with him in it," he gestured towards the actor and Julian pushed up his sunglasses, crossing his arms in irritation.

"Asshole."

"Jerk."

Derek rolled his eyes and grabbed Logan and Julian's arms, steering them away from the common room and up the stairs, behind Murdoch. "Okay then, you idiots, movie night it is."
