Alright! First Chapter! Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't. Either way I'm still going to make your lives miserable by pouring my obsessive wants into words!
Chapter 1
Jay's POV:
"I have yet to comprehend as to why all you're inventions are coordinated with the color blue, my friend." Zane mentioned to me.
I allowed a few seconds of silence to be filled with our soft feet scraping against the rough concrete the school had outside. It's not that I didn't want to answer the question, I just had to take a second to process it. In all honesty, I wasn't paying attention. But I was going to allow myself to answer. I didn't bother looking at him, and he didn't bother looking at me. We simply looked at our feet and watched them drag us to our destination. Our feet weren't more interesting than our friendship, but we felt more comfortable in the current position. It was calming, per say. I stopped myself from the short stalling and answered the question.
"How can I not? Blue is like, the BEST color!" I smiled at him, throwing my hands into he air and twirling around at the word 'best'. Zane smiled at my reaction as well. I felt pleased knowing I had amused him.
"Then I prefer the color ivory." Zane mentioned, not seeming as excited as I was about colors, but the happiness in his eyes was clearly enough.
"Zane, ivory is the same thing as white. Why don't you just say white?" I attempted to confront him.
"Ivory and white have two contrasting differences. Ivory has a gray tint, while white does not." Zane pointed out as we drew closer to the school.
"Whatever you say, buddy." I shook my head with a smile as we reached the steps.
I gripped tightly onto my soft backpack straps as Zane and I ventured up the stairs. We rushed up them and looked up from our feet to the entrance of an all mighty hell hole. But, we were learning, so maybe it wasn't all that bad after all. It's just that some rules and experiences would be better gone untold.
As soon as we both looked up we saw a scene we were all too familiar with ourselves. One of the school's seniors, Morro Bay, was picking on someone who seemed to be a Freshman. He was one of the smaller students, so I can imagine he was a first year. Zane and I have been picked on by Morro before, it still happens every now and then, but we know how to handle ourselves now. I had pity for the kid. I knew his situation and I knew his mind. Feeling helpless and alone. Like no one was there to help or save you. I looked over at Zane. His eyes allowed me to realize, we were both thinking the same thing.
"I got your back, you got mine, and together we got his?" I clarified, pointing to each person throughout the sentence.
"Indeed, my friend." Zane agreed with a nod as we walked over to Morro backing the kid into a locker.
"Morro, come on man. Leave the kid alone." I said, the disappointment obvious to my tone.
Morro put the kid down and changed his attention over to Zane and I, a large smirk plastered on his face.
"And what if I don't?" He smirked, testing our limits.
"Boy would I love for you to find out." I crossed my arms and got a bit closer to him than necessary.
"Fiesty, aren't ya Walker?" He pointed out to me with a devilish tone.
"It seems the former victim of your abusive ways has escaped your grasp." Zane pointed out, causing Morro to turn around and look. Once he looked back at us hate seemed to burn in his eyes.
"What's wrong Bay? Sad that you don't get to take out all your bad boy problems on innocent first years." I said, it was obvious that I was now pushing his limits.
"Watch that mouth Walker. Or you and your weird friend will find yourselves 6 feet under." Morro threatened.
"Is that a death threat Morro? I'm sure Mr. Wu would love to hear that one." I teased with him. He began to grit his teeth out of anger.
"How about you two mind your own business next time." Morro harshfully suggested.
"Very unlikely. We despise seeing innocent peers being bombarded by your cruel actions." Zane argued with Morro's suggestion.
"Shut it Julien." Morro was squinting his eyes as well now, we really were pushing him. I've come to notice that he doesn't say a person's first name, but their last name instead. I don't know why, but it makes him all the more scarier.
"I shall take the recommendation into consideration but I cannot promise any of your hopeful results." Zane said chilled. I felt a smile cross my face.
"Ugh, I will never understand you." Morro rolled his eyes and looked back at me, "Just stay out of my way." He poked me in the chest painfully and rushed off, more than likely to go torment another kid.
Zane and I watched as he stormed off. We may have been able to stop him this time, but I'm not so sure how that's going to go over next encounter. But, I refuse to think about it. That is for the future to decided, not for me to worry about.
"I don't predict he will be stopping in the near future." Zane pointed out.
"I'm getting the same feeling too buddy." I shook my head, Morro just never listens.
"Uh, thanks." Zane and I looked over to see the kid who was previously being bothered stand before us. I took a closer look at the kid. He looked quite familiar. His hair was sorta wavy and more blonde than Zane's hair, almost a golden color. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and embarrassed. After a close examination he didn't seem physically hurt, maybe shaken up a bit, but overall he seemed fine. He seemed nervous. But why?
Then it hit me like a brick.
"Lloyd!" I exclaimed, "What the hell are you doing here!? You idiot! You're supposed to be at the middle school building!" I yelled at the mere 8th grader.
"I know, I know! Please don't tell Nya! Or Kai..." Lloyd stopped rubbing the back of his neck and looked at us pleadly.
"I am questioning as to why you are present in the incorrect building." Zane asked Lloyd.
"Ya Greenie, why are you here?" I asked Lloyd, using his nickname. We call Lloyd 'Greenie' due to an old story about him.
After talking with Nya, she finally opened up about her youngest brother, Lloyd. Apparently Lloyd was adopted from a young age, so they took him in and raised him as their own. Lloyd knows this, Nya's parents didn't keep this from him, they didn't plan on it ever keeping it from him.
But, they have one famous story about the adoptive brother. When he was only 7 years old, they allowed him to paint by himself. This was a choice that they would later regret.
After leaving him alone for no more than a few minutes, they came back to see him covered in green paint. Only green pain, and ever since then his nickname has been Greenie. He's grown accustom to it and doesn't seem to mind.
But his nickname was the least of my problems right now. All I wanted to know was why he was in the wrong school building.
"Brad told me that he'd give me 10 bucks if I spent the day at the High School..." Lloyd lowered his head in shame as I rolled my eyes.
"Lloyd! Kai will kill you before you get the chance to get those 10 dollars! Get back to the middle school!" I ordered him meaning only good.
"But-" Lloyd was interupted before he could finish his arguemntal sentence.
"Lloyd Montgomery Smith!!!" I heard a familiar voice yell. All three of us looked over to see a very ticked off Kai Smith standing only a hall away.
"Uh, thanks guys, bye!" And with that Lloyd was out of the building.
Kai ran up to us, knowing he wouldn't have time to catch Lloyd. If he wasn't going to get information out of Lloyd just yet, I guarantee he'll try to get as much as he can out of me. Although, I don't really wanna be a part of this family issue.
"Why the hell was he here?" Kai asked, genuinely confused.
"Some stupid bet. Nothing to worry about." I smiled at him, trying to calm him down.
"Oh I'll be worrying about it. Little rat could've gotten himself killed." Kai ironically mentioned, shaking his head at his brothers stupidity and looked at the door he just recently left out of.
"On a related term, he did run into Morro Bay. Fortunately we arrived soon enough for him to result with no harm." Zane immediately replied as my face grew red with embarrassment.
"Oh, and when were you planning on telling me this Jay?" Kai asked me, now facing my direction.
"Uh,...I actually...you see...I was...what was that? You need me Mr. Wu? I'll be right there." I nervously laughed, "Got to go. Sorry to cut this conversation short Kai." I grabbed Zane's wrist and dragged him down a few halls and away from Kai.
Zane was reluctant to follow me, but after he realized that there was no point in arguing with me, he finally gave in. Once I felt like I was far enough from Kai that he wouldn't find or chase me, Zane finally spoke out.
"I don't recall hearing a voice resembling Mr. Wu." Zane looked confused as I finally let go of his wrist.
"That's because there wasn't!" I pointed out to, needing to lower my voice.
"Then why the urge to make a false accusation?" Zane asked.
"Trust me, no one wants a yelling from Kai Smith." I mentioned to the confused friend.
"He did not show any intentions of wanting to physically harm you." Zane pointed out to me.
"Ya, but I don't want him yelling at me. We still have Robotics Club with Nya and I don't want her thinking I'm some child or something." I whispered to him, finally lowering my voice.
"I understand now." Zane smiled.
"Alright, let's get to our lockers. I don't wanna be late for Mr. Garmadon's class." I shook my head, Mr. Garmadon was the toughest teacher, he had absolute no chill.
Zane nodded and we walked over to our lockers. Today may not have started out as I had planned, but let's hope it gets better.
End of Chapter 1! I hope y'all like it! I had a great time writing it! Please Review
