So, I had an idea on a new fanfic, don't worry, I'll continue my other one but I just got the idea and want to see how it would go. Enjoy.
"Uhg, I'm not sure how much more I can take of this." I mutter to myself. "It has been over three years since I came back up, and I can't handle it for much longer." And I couldn't, I mean, I've been able to scrape by, with b's and even the occasional a. I try not to bring too much attention to myself, but it just seems to happen. the girls love me because I'm so secretive, and the guys hate me because of it. I try to stay to myself, and stick to the shadows, but someone always notices, and then I'm crowded by people asking questions, uhg questions, why all the questions? No one cares about anything else than asking questions. I just want to be alone. but no. That's too much to ask. Why can't I just be left alone? I'm always trying to stay away from people, but they don't care. I just want to get through high school and got to college. Oh, ya, we ended up moving to Virginia, about a year ago. Anyway, I have accepted the fact that I will never get back down there, so I've been considering some schools, I have my eye on the University of Virginia, because of the track team. As you may or may not know, I'm pretty good at track. I'm undefeated on the high school team.
"Gregor! Its's time to go." my mom ripped me out of my thoughts.
"Coming!" I yelled back. I ran downstairs and said" where are we going tonight?"
"We're going to olive garden tonight." my mom told me as I walked outside.
" Sweet! I love olive garden!" I said, sarcasm dripping from my tongue.
"Oh shush. You know I love olive garden" she said. we've gone to olive garden multiple times in the last week. I got in the car and we drove off. We were alone as Dad was working, Lizzy was at some mathletes club, and Boots was over at a friend's house, were picking her up after we eat.
"*sighs* I have to get my homework done when we get home, so we've got to hurry."
"Why didn't you get it done before we left?" she asked
"I was working on it when we left." I answered. By this time, we were parking." alright, let's get this done and over with so I can finish." We hurry - ate and were leaving within fifteen minutes. a and we had picked up Boots and been home in record time of only ten minutes. I rushed upstairs to finish my work. I finished I less than ten minutes, I just wanted to rush so I could run before showering and going to bed. I guess I enjoy running so much because it gives me time to think and clear my mind. I grab my ear buds and put on my running shoes and walk towards the door but I'm stopped by my Mom.
"where do you think you're going?" she asked, a little annoyed.
"running" I answered, confused with her sudden annoyance.
"I thought you had homework."
"I did. I finished it." I answered, walking past her.
"Oh, ok. well be back by ten." all traces of annoyance gone.
"Easy" I answered over my shoulder, I walked out the door and started running. I love listening to music while running, I don't know why, it just makes it easier to think. After my run, I hop in the shower and go to bed.
- The next day -
I wake up to my alarm and hop out of bed, for some reason the nightmares stopped when we moved, my mom was sure happy, using it as a way to make the move seem to be better than it was. I walk downstairs after changing and make a couple of pieces of toast and get a glass of milk.
"Morning Gregor!" I hear from behind me.
"Morning Liz" I answered, kind of sleepy. "What've you got going on today?"
"Well I have Chess club after school, then volleyball." Liz became a very good athlete after growing a little. I never really got very into sports.
"Good, good." I said, a little groggier then before, uh oh, falling asleep. Whack!" Hey!"
"You were falling asleep. I just woke you up." Liz said
"I swear, you become more and more like Ripred everyday" I said. Whack! This time on the back of the head. "Now what? I thought we could talk about the underland, I've already accepted that I'm never going back" I said, annoyed. "Isn't that enough punishment for talking about it?"
"That's true honey, he was forced to leave the one place he felt at home" his dad said walking in.
"He should feel at home here, at his house!" my mom yelled
"Huh, whatever" I walked away, toast in hand, got my shoes and backpack on and left, walking towards the school. When I got to school, I walked to a dark corner, trying to not get seen, and for once, succeeded. When we went inside, I went straight to class, as all the things I need were in my bag. I slipped into class and sat in the back, as always, but this time, someone else sat next to me, fully expecting questions, I got ready. But none came, I was surprised. "Hey! Have I met you?" I seemed to have startled the girl, because she seemed to jump in her chair.
"U-uh, I-I don't think so, I'm new here " So that's it, she's new.
"My name's Gregor, what's yours?"
"Luxa." I froze, did she just say Luxa? "Hello? Are you alright?" I snapped out of my trance and answered.
"Ya, sorry I just knew someone else with that name. Before I moved." I said, still frozen.
"Oh. Well, maybe we could be friends." she said
"Ya, ya. That would be nice." I said happily. " I don't have any friends, everyone I meet, accept for you, have asked all sorts of questions, it sucks." I said honestly.
"Why?" she asked
"I have a lot of secrets, that are best unknown." I told her
"Oh god! You didn't kill anyone, did you?"
"No no! God no! Well, not exactly." I said.
"Not exactly? NOT EXACTLY?" She was starting to raise her voice so I quickly shushed her.
"No, uh, look, I've done some things that I regret." She looked like she was going to say something so I quickly said" But, I've never killed anyone."
"Oh, ok. Well, I won't ask any more questions, even though I have a lot." She said
"Thanks" I said, my day went normal after that, it turns out, we have three more classes together," I feel like I am finally going to know someone who actually want to be my friend." I thought. And that's when all hell broke loose.
"HEY!" I hear an angry voice coming from behind me. But as I turn around with reflexes only a rager could posses, I block a punch thrown at my head.
"What the hell are you doing?" I yelled. "What did I do to you?"
"You were talking to my girlfriend!" He shouted back.
"What the fuck are you talking about? I've talked to a maximum of one girl today, that being the new girl." I yelled, getting annoyed.
"Ya! That new girl is my girlfriend!" He yelled back. At this point, I've lost all hope on this ending peacefully, and try just walking away, when he yelled this. "That's right punk! Run away!" I don't know why, but punk just pushed me over the edge. I walked straight up to him and punched him in the chest, just where it would leave him breathless, but not in any danger. However, I didn't tell you that he had a group of friends behind him, and they were not happy. One of them started walking towards me, ready to fight. In lightning fast speed, I tripped him up and knocked him on his ass, but as he went to get up, I punched him in the side of the head, right where it'll knock him out. As I looked up, the rest of the group was just eying me wearily.
"You done yet? I asked, in response one of them ran towards me yelling angrily, I easily side-stepped him, throwing him on the ground. After that, one of them yelled
"You just threw Josh onto the ground! He's our best fighter dude!"
"Don't tell him that, you fucking idiot!" another one of them yell at him, and I just start walking away again, knowing that they feared me. I just went to my next class." Thank god it's the last hour" I muttered, and as luck would have it, guess who walked in next. Luxa. Great." Well, you've got some explaining to do. You know, the whole "dating the schools most annoying kid who thinks he's strong, when really he takes one punch to take him out" thing?"
"Ya, about that… I just broke up with him, I thought he was a nice guy. Until you had to knock him out just because we talked." She said, with complete honesty.
"Oh, cool." The rest of class was kind of awkward, we didn't even look at each other, let alone speak. When the final bell rang, I grabbed my bag and bolted for the door, being the first out of the classroom. I just headed straight home. When I got home my mom greeted me at the door asking how my day, I answered normal and went straight to my room, getting my homework done in minutes at most. After I finished, I lied down on my bed and started to listen, my echolocation has been getting better and better. I know where everyone in the house is, and what they're doing always. It must have been three hours later when his mom called him down to supper. As always he finished quickly and left soon after he started, put on his running shoes and went on a run. When he got back to the house he showered and went to bed.
I know some of you are going to say "No! Just work on the other one!" But I don't want to right now, and I like the way this is going. So, give me some constructive criticism and wait for the next chapter of both this and the other one. BTW the other one is almost done! So, Relax!
