Beep. Beep. Beep.
Zander woke up to the sound of his alarm clock. Its 7 am. He got up, took a shower and went down for breakfast. He looked at his giant kitchen.
No one is here as usual he thought to himself. He walked to the pantry, grabbed a cereal bar. and a bottle of milk from the fridge.
He sat down at the kitchen counter and like reflex, he looked at his phone.
7 new messages
6 were from random girls that shamelessly threw themselves at him. Then he saw a message from his mom.
Mom: Hi honey, me and your dad will be on a business trip for the next 3 month, I am sure you can handle yourself, my credit card is on the counter, have a good day at your new school.
Zander rolled his eyes and finished his breakfast.
His first day at NeverFall High, great.... He was used to constantly moving around because of his parents, but even when they do move to a new house, his parents were never there anyways, he didn't see the point in moving. But he was used to this. Oh well.
He didn't really need school, he goes only because he wanted some sort of normal in his life. His parents run the pharmaceutical industry worldwide and have companies all over. They were powerful and members of the world government. That made Zander was a bit of royalty.
He put on a pair of jeans, white T-shirt, and a black and a white windbreaker jacket.
He grabbed the keys to the blue dodge charger and drove to his new school. when he got out of his car, he noticed everyone had stopped what they were doing and started to look at his direction.
Typical... He ignored the stares and walked into the school building.
As he walked to the main office, he heard whispers.
* who is the new kid? * * he's cute* *is he Zander Knight?! I heard he's family is loaded * * giggles* *I heard he was the prince of Knight INK** *hehe**

I saw the lady at the front desk, before I can even speak the middle age lady with oversized cat eyed bifocals looked up with the widest fake smile "Hi I am Miss. Sue and you must be zander!" sounding overly enthusiastic. "we are so ecstatic to have you attend our school, I have your schedule right here"

While I was looking at my schedule, a guy wearing a black and macaroon varsity jacket with the letter A on the top left corner had walked next to me.
"HI! I am Brad, I have been asked to show you around today." He said with a big smile.
I looked at the boy standing in front of me, he was lean, muscular, buzz cut, blond hair. overall not a bad looking guy. judging by his looks, he must be one of the popular guys here.
"Zander" I replied. and handed him my schedule.
"Oh cool, we have the same homeroom!"
When we walked into class, everyone looked in our direction, well more specifically mine.
The teacher made the new kid announcement. She then said, you can sit with Brad here, right Brad?" He smiled and said, "of course Ms. Janice!"
As I was walking to the desk, a preppy girl in a short skirt and pink blouse passed me a note and winked.
The note:
Call me: ###-###-#####
- Ashley
I looked back at her and smiled.
When we sat down, Brad asked me some questions on where I was from and if I liked it here. I replied with short and simple yes and no's but I don't think he mind.
When I looked out the window, I saw a boy running towards the school. Interesting.
I went back to talking with Brad, it turns out he's a pretty cool guy.
Our conversation halted when we heard Ms. Janice yelling. "Late again I see! I already gave you 2 warnings Kyle, you will have detention after school today" I looked up and saw the boy from earlier.
He had brown hair that covered his eyes, wore a black hoodie, black jeans , worn out shoes that looked like it was white but now just dirty, and a beat up backpack. He was breathing like he just ran a marathon. He was also profusely apologizing to the teacher, but it didn't look like it was working nor did the teacher cared that he was apologizing, she seemed annoyed with the boy.
There was a change in tone from the teacher as she was speaking to him. When I looked around, no one seemed to care.
After a while, he started to walk into the room.
Then, some guy at the front stretched out his leg. The boy tripped over this guy's feet and dropped to his knee, making a pained wince. The rest of the class laughed. I watched the boy slowly got standing up while using a table for support. Then he went to sit down at a desk ignoring everything that just happened. I felt a bit annoyed.
I nudged Brad with my elbow and asked him "what's his deal?"
"Him?" Brad shoot a glance at Kyle then back at me.
"yea"
"Oh, that's Kyle, I don't know him personally, but I heard stories of him doing lots of hardcore drugs and getting into fights. if I were you, I would stay away from him. He's bad news"
I looked over at the boy with his hoodie on, head hanging down and eyes fixated on his desk. fights? Drugs? Him? but he look so.... Fragile.
I guess homeroom is just a free period because for the rest of class, two of Brad's friends had came and started to talk with us.
Ever so often, I would shoot a glance at that boy. He sat silently and looked out the window until the end of class. When the door bell ringed, he grabbed his backpack and left. I
