A/N This is my first ever posting so reviews are welcome but please be nice. This has a T rating for now but it may change if I continue the story.
Suggestion: Read Waterwicca's story PAST THE SORROW. It is the best story I have ever read here on fanfic. It is an absolute EPIC!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters.
Prologue
Kendall sat on the bleachers in the Hockey area of his high school. He was busy watching the other students pathetic attempt at playing.
They would never amount to anything Kendall thought to himself. None of them would come even close to how good he and his friends were, on the ice or not. Kendall and his friends, Carlos, James, and Logan ruled this school. And why shouldn't they? They were the best hockey team in the state. Kendall stood up and placed his black hoodie over his head and headed off to the front entrance. He was thinking what to do for the rest of the day when he bumped into someone.
"You should know to get out of my way!" Kendall growled as he went on his way. Didn't everyone know by now that they should move out of his while he was walking.
"Excuse me, but I believe you bumped into me." Kendall heard a girl's voice ring out all of a sudden. He couldn't believe the nerve of this girl thinking that he should go out of his way for her. Everyone at this school knew not to mess with him.
"Listen girly unless you are new here, you should-". He started. He never got to finish. What he saw in front of him took the words right out of his mouth, not to mention his breath. In front of him stood a girl defiantly holding her hands to her hips.
"I am new here and if the people here are like you then I think I will hate my stay here even more than I do now." She yelled at him. Kendall just stood there staring. "First you yell at me after you bump into and now you give me the silent treatment. Freak", she said as she stalked off.
Kendall just stood there watching her walk off. She was gorgeous he thought to himself. The shiny blonde hair, hazel nut eyes with pale white skin clearly left an impression. What intrigued him the most for him was her response when he yelled at her. She didn't back down when he yelled at her. He was so used to people backing away from a confrontation with him. He stood there for a few more minutes thinking about his encounter before he sauntered off to finish the rest of his classes for the day. He didn't even get a few feet towards the main part of the school before changing his mind and headed to the parking lot.
He was walking for quite some time, lost in thought and apprehension on where he was heading. He really didn't want to confront what was coming but he had no choice, he had put it off long enough. He had to face them, it was after all exactly one year ago. It was a long walk and when he started hearing thunder he cursed silently. Figures it would rain today of all days, I suppose it's nothing more than I deserve. He supposed he could have borrowed one of his friends' cars today but he hated that thought as soon as it entered his head. He could barely drive on a regular today without having a meltdown and today would have been worse. He doubted he would have made it more than a few miles before he would have to pull over. He felt the first droplets of rain hit his head so Kendall increased his pace. He hadn't made more than a few feet when the sky opened up and soaked him completely. He turned as soon as he saw the metal gate, he was getting close to his destination. The path he was on forked into several ones and he quickly took the one on the left. He hated that the rain always seemed to stick more here. It always felt that this area did it's best to be as gloomy as possible, that it wanted to reflect the moods of those who came to this area.
He kept his head bowed down low in his hoodie to keep the rain out of his eyes. His clothes were completely drenched by now and he felt chills through his skin and seep all the way into his bones. He wasn't all that sure if the cold he was feeling was from the rain or from what he was about to face. He stopped when he reached the stone slab in front of him.
"Hi baby sister, hi mom…" Kendall whispered. He dropped to his knees in front of the graves, sadness overcoming him. He fell to his knees, the wet grass soaking his jeans even more. He rested his forehead on the tombstone as he began to cry.
Jo could not believe the kind of day she was having. Not only had she gotten lost on her 1st day in a new school but on top of that she had a run in with what had to be the biggest jerk on campus. The nerve on that guy! She was still seething when she realized that she had lost her way again. She looked around and approached a young brunette.
"Hi. I was hoping you could help me. I'm trying to find the studio for theater class?" Jo approached the brunette.
"I was actually heading that way. It's my next class. This way, right behind the gym and rink. I'm Camille by the way." She said enthusiastically. Jo let Camille lead her back out the way she came. They walked silently for a minute until they got to the entrance. Jo noticed the boy who was rude to her do an about face and head towards the parking lot.
Camille followed Jo's gaze and smirked. "That's Kendall Knight. Probably best to stay out of his way."
"Yeah. I noticed that. He gave quite the first impression." Jo really meant to show her disdain but for some reason she could not peel her eyes away from Kendall Knight.
Camille rolled her eyes as Jo continued to watch Kendall walk. "Uh huh, so much for my warning."
Jo shook her head, "No, I mean- I was just wondering why does he look so sad?"
"Sad?! Are you crazy? You are looking at Kendall right? That boy is angry, is always angry. Try not to set him off because him and his hockey goons have a habit of making peoples' lives a living hell."
"And what exactly sets him off?" Jo's asked, frowning a bit while she was thinking of her earlier encounter.
She heard Camille give of a nervous laugh. "How about hearing you breath? It would probably be easier to name the things that don't set him off. And you can figure those out on your own I don't him to even know that we talked about him."
Jo ignored the last statement. She knew that Kendall was rude and angry but was she really the only one that could see the mask he was hiding behind. Was she the only one who could see the overwhelming sadness behind those beautiful green eyes. Jo surprised herself with that last thought. Did she really just think that his eyes were beautiful? She sighed slightly, trying to shake off that thought.
"C'mon we are going to be late." Camille tugged at her arm. "So you are new here right? My friend Stephanie is having a welcome back to school party later. All the popular people are coming. You should come."
Jo was about to decline when she said, "Yeah, I'll come. Hopefully I can meet people who aren't going to yell at me right of the bat."
