Dark Secrets ch.1

Ken set down his paper already done with his test when the phone on Ken's teacher's desk suddenly rang causing everyone to look up for a moment. Ken watched as his teacher muttered into his phone for a moment and then hung up. "Oh Ken your done." He said smiling as he looked up at Ken. "Would you mind doing me a small favor since your done already?" "Not at all Mr. Koshkosh." Ken said standing up and walking over to Mr. Koshkosh when Mr. Koshkosh waved him over to his desk. "Ken we have a new foreign exchange student in the office. The office just called and told me that he just arrived here. His name is Devin, he was supposed to be here earlier but his flight was delayed. Would you mind going down to the office and escorting him here for me?" "It would be my pleasure." Ken said with a smile.

"Devin?" Ken called out as he opened the office door. "Mr. Koshkosh sent me here to show you the way to his classroom." Ken's words were only met by silence. "Uhh Devin?" Ken turned to the right and was startled when he found himself staring in to the face of a boy his age. "You Devin?" Ken stuttered unnerved by the cold stare that Devin was casting upon him. The boy narrowed is dark eyes and Ken and just looked at him for a moment before giving an abrupt answer. "Yes." "Mr. Koshkosh class is this way." Ken said nervously as he backed out of the office. Ken could feel the cold hard star of Devin on hi back the entire way back to his class. He was more than glad to take a seat when they finally got back.

"Class I'd like you to meet a new exchange student here in our very own class. His name is Devin, and he comes from America. …. What is your last name again I don't want to pronounce it wrong?" Mr. Koshkosh said in an almost to cheerful voice to the entire class. Devin looked down for a moment. "It's Kimera, Devin Kimera." Devin looked to Mr. Koshkosh the same darkly blank look still on hi face. "May I please take a seat?" Mr. Koshkosh chuckled and pointed to an empty seat behind Ken, where Devin quickly sat. Ken could already feel Devin's stare penetrating into his back. Ken begun to think to himself about Devin he couldn't understand why he was he so unnerving to him.

Of all the places in the class to set why did Mr. Koshkosh have him sit here? Why does he bother me so much? He's just another kid after all. I'm being too harsh; maybe if I get to know him better well get along great. Yeah that's it! After school I'll show him around town! He's probably just nervous, this is entirely different country after all. He probably doesn't know any one here. That's probably why he's so serious looking. I'll introduce him to the others. They'll know what to do that will show him a good time and well a become friends. Maybe I can even invite him to come over for diner. J

"Ken, class is over." Ken looked up suddenly jarred out of his thoughts. "Huh?" "Didn't you hear the bell ring a minuet ago?" Mr. Koshkosh asked surprised. "No sir I'm sorry I better get going. The rest of the day went by like a blur. He didn't even see Devin during lunch. After school he waited by the steps hoping to see him again and get of with a better start. "Hay Ken!" A girls voice called out to him happily causing him to jump. "Yolei what are you doing here?" Yolei smiled as everyone else caught up. "We got out early because there was a school wide teachers meeting. Since we were let out early everyone decided it would be nice to all do something together after you got out. Well that is if you don't have any plans that is." Ken smiled and looked around slightly disappointed that he couldn't find Devin. "Well actually I was hoping that I could find the new foreign exchange student and then al of us could get together and show him a good time, but I cant seem to find him. He must have went to his place right after school." "Well maybe we can catch him after school tomorrow." Kari said smiling. "Until then how about a picnic in the park?" "That would be great."

"I cant believe I ate that much." Yolei groaned lying down on the grass. "Really? Wow I'm still hungry." Davis said looking down at Yolei. Hay I got an idea lets play a game of soccer! Ken can be the leader of one team while I can head the other team." Everyone nodded showing that they liked the idea. "Sorry guys but I just realized that I have to be some where." Cody said jumping up suddenly. "See you all later. Grandpa and I are going to the museum." As Cody ran off Davis monad and slumped down in despair. "Now we wont have even teams." "Hay." Ken said jumping up and pointing over to a tree. "It's Devin, that new kid I told you about. Maybe he'd like to play soccer with us."
