Chapter 1: The Beginning

One hot summer morning two brothers were on their way to their first day of High school. "Wow I can't believe I'm finally in High school!" exclaimed 14-year-old Van in a voice full of energy and excitement. "Settle down Van, I've never seen anyone as excited about going back to school as you." Said Van's older brother Jase "Easy for you to say Jase, you've already spent a year at Golden Cove High, I've been stuck in Golden Cove K- 12 for 10 years; with the same teacher every year too!" "I know Van, I've heard the story of your ten years with Ms. McDougal too many times." Jase said, trying to get his brother to just shut up. "Hey! Look Jase we're here! We're finally here!" Van cried. All their talking had gotten them there in what seemed like no time. As Van ran through the doors Jase said in an already exhausted voice, "Hello Golden Cove high. I'm back." As the boys made their way to their separate locations Van managed to say one last thing to his brother, "Well, this ought to be fun!" "We'll see about that bro!" Said Jase before disappearing into a crowd of students. "Well, let's see here, I'm supposed to be in room 137, now where is that?" Van asked himself as he wandered about the halls in search of his class; after spending a few minutes and going just about everywhere in the school he finally managed to find it. "Who are you and why are you late?" asked the old woman sitting behind a desk in the back of the room. "I'm Van Yukio, am I in the right class? Please tell me I'm in the right class." The woman quickly shuffled through some papers before replying, "Yes Van, you are supposed to be in this class." "I'm Ms. Edwina, your homeroom teacher. We're going to have some fun together this year aren't we Van? She said in a slightly demonic voice. "Oh no." Van said to himself as he walked over to the only open seat, luckily it was far away from Ms. Edwina's desk. Next to him was a boy that just seemed to reek of evil; Hair spiked up and jet black, full black leather outfit, and something else that Van couldn't place but was a bit scared of. "That's Brad Carver, most kids just call him Raven 'cause of how he looks." Said a voice from behind Van. "What?" Van asked the boy next to him. "I said, that's brad car-" "Yeah I heard that, why were you telling me?" Van asked, cutting the boy's sentence short. "I noticed you staring at him and thought you might like to know." He said. "By the way, I'm Brady Davis." "Van Yukio." Van replied to the boy's greeting. Meanwhile on the other end of the school, Jase had just met up with his old friends. "Hey guys!" Jase cried as he rushed to meet his buddies. "Jase! How ya' doing?" "Okay, so what'd you guys do this summer?" Jase asked his friends "Slept" They both replied. "Me too, but now it's time for school again, I can't believe it's time so soon." He said as he started to wander to his next class. "Well, see you guys at lunch!" "See ya Jase!" The rest of the day went on like any other school day. Van and Brady happened to have all the same classes, and Jase made it through the day without falling asleep in class (Funny how he could still do that after sleeping through the summer), but it was after school that things began to get interesting.
