I truthfully have no idea where this story is coming from. I guess….it's just….I don't know…me wanting to write like this….
Well, I do not own anything but the plot. I hope you guys like it. It's AU. …
"Zero Kiryuu, please report to the principal's office."
The office attendant's voice rang through out the school halls and classrooms. Heads turned to look at the young man getting out of the lunch line with an apple in his hands. His silver hair made him stand out in the school and made it easy for people to spot.
People rolled their eyes and began to make rumors on the spot of why the teen was being called down to the office again. It was the second time in a week already. In the three week period he had arrived at the school. A rumor was that he had beaten up a teacher, while another was that he had robbed a store.
Most people thought Zero Kiryuu was an undisciplined rebellious teen who never did as he was told. He did not care about his studies and hated his parents and fought with them and slept around.
His dyed hair, piercing, and tattoos made him an outcast.
Many teachers judged him on the spot and gave him looks when something happened. Others that had never had him as a student talked about what a nuisance he would be.
Zero ignored the looks he received. He took a bite of his apple and made his way to the principals. He paid no heed to the loud whispers that spoke badly of him. He knew that no matter what people believed, they truly knew nothing of him.
"I bet he's going to get suspended"
The teen threw the rest of his apple in a garbage bin next to him as he walked out the doors and into the halls that were beginning to get crowded by students going to class.
"Yeah. I bet he got transferred here so he could learn something."
Zero went to his locker and took out his book for his next class. He knew the principal would keep him in the room after the tardy bell rang.
"I bet he smokes"
He put his other books in the small space so wouldn't have to carry so many things for his next class. He would get them before he left.
"And drinks."
After closing his locker, the silver haired teen walked down the halls on the opposite side of the students and made his way to his destination.
"I think he has some disease. I mean, I heard someone say they knew someone that slept with him and gave them something."
As he walked, someone bumped into him causing his books to fall from his hands. Some papers fell and scattered about.
"Oh god! He is so disgusting."
People made sure to trample over his things and keep on moving.
"I bet he's covered in tattoos."
Zero grabbed the papers that he could reach and moved on.
"This school isn't right for him. They should just send him to like, juvenile detention or something.,"
He reached the principal's office and once again, accidentally ran into someone coming out. He fell back and sighed. His papers were once again scattered.
He slowly reached out and picked them up one by one until he had them all in his hand and put them back in his folder.
He got up and knocked on the principal's door.
"Come in."
Zero twisted the doorknob and walked into the office.
The principal sat in the lavish chair. His suit was perfect and no emotions were visible on his face.
"Zero, please, have a seat. I would like to discuss certain matters involving you." The teen sighed and sat in the chair in front of the large desk. The principal took out a folder and began to take some papers out.
Now, concerning the matter of you being here."
Zero had a feeling that the principal got a whiff of the rumors that had been going around.
"I was thinking of having you transferred to another school not too far from here."
Zero arched an eyebrow. "I…don't understand. Why am I being transferred to another school again?"
The principal sighed. "Well, since you got here, I have been hearing nothing but bad rumors concerning you. I have also gotten some feed back from your teachers and I must say, it is rather odd. Some teachers believe that you have been cheating on your tests and homework. Others are not certain of how to judge you."
The older man stood up and grabbed a packet on his desk. He walked over to Zero and motioned for him to follow. The two went out of the office and down one of the halls. He opened the door to an empty room and closed it after Zero went in.
"I would like to see for myself at your IQ. I want you to take this test. If you pass, I will send you to that school, but if you fail, then I guess we could figure something out. Now, you have two hours to finish this test."
Zero was confused, but took the packet and went over to one of the desks and began to thick packet.
Some of the problems were simple, but others were a little difficult. Zero wasn't sure any more of why he was even trying to do well on the test. No matter where he went, looks were everything. The mind always judged on first appearance. If he actually went to that school, they may be more strict. Telling him to remove his piercing, dye his hair a natural color, cover his tattoo, and god knows what else.
As he neared the last problems, Zero looked at the clock on the wall. He had answered about 124 questions in an hour and a half. The questions were in sections and in every subject. From Math to geography to physics and chemistry.
It was a rather tough test. After finishing, Zero looked through the test and made sure he answered all the questions.
"Finished?" Zero nodded and gave his answers to the principal. The school bell had already rang and Zero began to gather his things. He wondered if his last teacher was going to write him up again for skipping.
Oh well. It's not like he was going to care. After he graduated, he was going to go into the work force and try to keep a semi steady life.
"Ok then. I'll check these today. Come into my office first thing tomorrow morning to get your results alright?" Zero nodded and walked out of the room. Some people were still in the building and getting their things. Zero went to his locker and retrieved his belongings. He sighed for what felt the millionth time.
Tomorrow was just going to be another day. He hoped the rumors weren't going to be too bad.
He made his way out of the building and began to walk home. The sky was a dimly gray and the cool autumn air made him lightly shiver. Students gathered about in little groups as they chatted away animatedly to one another.
Zero walked down the sidewalk and away from the large building. He crossed the streets and made his way home.
Home…
A half smile graved his lips. He wondered if that was really his home. If that was what a real home was.
He passed a small park and noticed some kids playing about. Chasing each other and swinging on the swings, in the sad box, and showing things they found to their parents.
The teen rubbed his hands together after he fixed his book bag. It was really beginning to get cold. Soon, it would be too cold to go out without a coat.
He stopped in front of a large tree and looked up into it's leaves. The colors were beautiful. They were all changing at the same time.
A breeze suddenly hit Zero and he shivered. Some leaves were pulled off the tree and gracefully fell to the ground.
Soon, the tree would be bear, and the leaves gathered up into piles. Snow would fall and cover the branches in a white blanket along with the rest of the city.
After looking at the elegant tree one last time, Zero made his way home. He hurried so he could warm up under his blankets. Soon, the night would fall and the world would stand still in a silent night as the city slept.
And that was how it begins.
Yeah. I hope you guys liked it enough to come back. I know I have other stories to finish, but….I guess….I just wanted this one to be out there too.
Expect the unexpected on this one.
