The Undefide

Chapter One; The New Start

    Hearing the tapping of Sarah Markson's foot tapping on the floor is irritating, the room was so silent before she started coming to class early. I always had this half hour to myself to draw, now her tapping is getting louder, its time I say something, she's been coming here and just sitting there tapping for the past three weeks. As soon as I open my mouth the bell goes off and everyone starts to crowed into there seats as she pulls out her black, history text book, I pull out my red one. Since I came to school late I have the only red textbooks, she painted her blue textbook black. Sarah doesn't care what anyone has to say about her, so why do I care so much what she does? I guess it's because it's irritating. 

    "Ash. ASH" I finally look up and my teacher, Miss Bulls, is looking me down with the most serous look ever. "What are you doing?" I look at her and tilt my head, I thought it was obvious," I'm reading." She puts her hand out, honestly I was looked at her like she was doing a hand stand on the statue of liberty drunk, and reached out and gave her a high five. The whole class laughed for some reason and I looked around in confusion as I felt my textbook get snatched out of my hand," Well, I'll let it pass this time, since you are reading ahead. But only if you can tell me why the final war started." I stood to my feet, I knew this answer," The final war started because the leaders of the three factions couldn't agree or disagree on rather or not the 20 people should be execute for their crimes or be made into a new faction ran by the leader of the resistant." Miss Bulls nodded and I heard Angela Barns sneaker and laughed jokingly as she said," Kiss Ass" The rest of the classed laughed. I could feel my hands start to feel as if they were on fire, so I took a deep breath as I sat down so I would calm down. 

    Angela Barns is a huge bully, but what she doesn't know is no one here is nice to her because she's a ray of sun shin, no, their nice because they are all scared of her. I haven't been in the school long, see I don't have parents, I was left on the steps of an old ladies house, she's taken care of me and taught me everything about the world, and how shitty it is, all up until last month when she died. No one but me knew her, so I took her out and I have been living there for the past month, stealing food from the market along with clothes, I would steal more valuable things besides there hasn't been anything of value since before the Final War. I needed to deal with being around people, so I could blend in better in a crowd when doing what I need to. 

    Once the final bell of the day for class went off, I grabbed my bag and ran out of the classroom. The market closes two hours after school, but my locker is on the other side of campus, and I won't make it without my bag. I pull my hood over my head as I run, I finally make it to my locker, but I have a guest. Angela Barns and her two puppy dogs standing in front of my locker. They were talking to the quarter backs as I walked to them and said," Excuse me." Her dogs heard me, I could tell because they rolled there eyes at me and looked back at their boy toys, I repeated myself and Angela looked at me," What do you want kiss ass?" All of them laughed and mocked, I at this moment was pissed the f**k off, so I didn't say anything. She put her hands on my hood and started to pull it down," Let everyone see that ugly face you have, no one has seen you since you joined this school." Instantly I slapped her hand from my hood," It's none of your business." That ticked her off to a point I guess because she grabbed my jacket and slammed me into the locker," Look you little bi-" I headbutted her in the chin," I have a name you know." She put her hands to her mouth," Jackson! She broke my tooth! Get her!" he looked at me and I pulled my hood off, showing my bright red hair and shocking him and everyone else, it was unusual to have any color hair other then black, brown, or blond. He looked at me in shock, I could feel my hands getting hot," Don't. Touch. Me. " He grabbed my arm and I grabbed his hand and for some reason he screamed in pain and I punch him in the jaw," Now I guess your mouth matches your girlfriends." He put his hand that I had grabbed to his mouth, but I was shocked, Jacksons hand had burned blisters all over his hand," What did you do to me?!" He cried out as everyone looked at me. I don't know what I did or how I had done it, but it was defiantly me.

    I grab my bag from my locker and run out of the school with the smell of smoke coming from behind me. Once I am standing on the side walk I turn and look at the school, which is somehow engulfed in flames. Police Officers started to show up along with firefighters. Each running past me one by one to try to control the flames and the fire itself. I couldn't believe I just did that, what did I do exactly? I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was cold, I turned around to find a boy with red hair like mine," Ash?" I looked at him and nodded," Hey, I'm Glacier. Why did you light the school on fire?" My eyes got wide," I....I DIDN'T!" Glaciers look changed instantly," You don't know??"
