Chapter 1: First day of school

...

The sun shined through the window of River Noon's bedroom. River was the town's local bad boy who often gets himself and others who get involved with him into trouble. Today was the first day of a new year of High school. He was one of those people who would much rather do anything but go to school.

River's alarm clock buzed, but he didn't budge. He stayed sprawled out in his bed, blankets barely covering him, and his shaggy blonde hair in a mess. After awhile his father barged into his room, looking and sounding very angry.

"Get out of bed boy!" His father, Marty yelled, coming to the side of his bed, pulling the blankets off of River.

River's eyes shot open but he didn't move, instead he tried to reach for his blankets back but was stopped when his dad slapped his hand away.

"River, I said get up! Don't be such a lazy bastard." He yelled again, getting more red in the face with every word he shouted.

"What's your excuse!" River shouted back.

"Don't you be saucy with me. Get up for school or i'll..."

"Or you'll what dad?!" River said, sitting up in bed now.

Marty took a deep breath "Whatever, just get up." He said trying to calm himself down, but you could still hear and feel the tension in his voice.

River grunted before getting up "Fine." he said "No need to be such a douch." he said under his breath before walking over to his bathroom to get ready for school.

...

Noel Blake on the other hand, was up bright and early, like he does every morning for school, especially for the first day of school, he gets up extra early. Noel also enjoys school, except for the fact that he gets picked on a lot. Noel came out to his parents last year and it was very difficult for him but he got through it and they now both except him. But some of the people at school could care less. He gets gay bashed a lot, especially the first year of being out. He learned to sook it up and not let it get to him, much.

When he was done getting dressed and spiking up his hair a little in the front, he walked down stars where his mom and dad were. His beatiful mother cooking breakfast and his dad sitting at the table drinking coffe while reading the mornings paper.

"Morning my dear." His mom, Penny said while turning towards him.

"Good morning Mother, father." Noel said before sitting down at the other end of the table.

"Are you excited for your first day of school?" His dad, Joshua asked.

Noel smiled wide at him "I am so excited." he said before excitedly clapping.

"That's great dear." Penny asked before putting the food on their plates, sitting down between them.

"I am going to make this my best year yet."

"Good luck with that son." His dad said, smiling at him before taking another sip of his coffee.

"Thanks."

...

loud, powerful music bleared as Matheus Garcia worked out in his bedroom. He was doing pushups in front of his mirror, giving himself some motivating words.

"You're awesome, you're a beast, you are...hot." He said to himself.

Matheus was small all of his life, but he never let it stop him from being so egotistical. Even though he was small, he felt like he was larger then life. He got up from his pushups and looked himself in the mirror, smirking at himself as he flexed.

"You really are a beast." he said as he continued to flex. There was a knock on his door "Come in!" He yelled over the loud music.

The door opened and it was his sister. Rona is Matheus' fraternal twin sister. They were complete oposites. Not just personality, but also their looks for example She was born with red hair, where as he was born with a dark head of hair. But she recently cut and died her hair black.

"Hey, are you ready for school?"

"Yeah, I'll be ready in a few. I still need a qucik shower." he said, turning off the music and grabbing his clothes from his dresser.

"Hey um...are you nervous? I'm a little nervous." Rona said, trying to calm herself down.

"Why, it's only the first day of school."

"Yeah but it's our first day in a new school. I've never been a new student before and I never did fit in at our old school, and I am afraid that I am not going to fit in at our new school." She said, very worried.

Matheus walked up to her, feeling a bit simpathetic "Don't worry about that R. You can stick with me and we can either be cool together or losers together."

Rona smiled down at him "Thanks. Now get ready then I can give you a ride to school."

"Alright, be down in a few." He said before going to the bathroom.

...

Justice Monco used to be one of the most happy, girly girl you could meet. But ever since her mom died when she was thirteen, she changed. She changed her style, she went from girly to gothic, she went from happy to depressed, and she lost her best friend, and on top of all of that, her father also changed. He started taking up drinking and hasn't been himself since. Ever since she found it hard to trust anyone, so she started isolating herself from all those around her. But she never let any of this get in away for her school work. She has always been smart, that is one thing that she didn't change. Her father always put pressure on her about her grades, he said that it was in their "asian blood". She never wanted to let him down so she tried her best.

Justice was up in her room, brushing out her long, raven black hair, singing along to "Keep hanging on" by Avril Lavigne when her dad came barging into the room.

"Justice! Turn that noise off!." He yelled, holding a mug in his hands.

The yelling always made Justice crindge and jolt "Dad I..." she started, sounding scared.

"I said OFF!" He yelled again, taking a huge gulp out of his mug.

Justice rolled her eyes "It's a little early for whiskey don't you think?"

"Don't you start with me you little brat!" He continue to yell, getting louder with every word.

"I..i'm sorry." She said, getting nervous.

"Whatever. Now hurry up and get ready or you'll have to walk to school."

"Dad...you can't drive me anyway...you are drunk."

"I am not. I only had two, maybe three drinks." He said, before chugging the rest of his whiskey.

"I'd rather take the bus." She said, rolling her eyes before turning back to her mirror, turning off the music.

"Suite your self." He said before turning to walk out the door, but accedentally hitting the wall on his way out.

Justice managed to hold in the laughter that was about to escape.

When she was done getting ready she walked down the stairs, seeing that her dad was half passed out of the sofa.

"Wait...I made you some...bacon." he slurred.

"Dad, I'm a vegetarian." she said before taking an apple off of the counter.

"Since when?" He asked.

"For about four years now."She said, getting annoyed.

"Whatever." He said before passing out.

Justice rolled her eyes again before walking out the door. She looked around before walking down the drive way, down the sidewalk. She walked until she saw the bus stop. seeing that the bus was already there. She sighed before trying to speed walk to catch the bus, but then the bus drove off.

"Damn it!" She yelled, stopping, rubbing her hands through her hair in frustration. "Not the best way to start off the first day of school."

...

Tyson Young is up in his room, with a black permanent marker writing the letters L and R on his boxing gloves before he started to punch his punching bag that hung in his bed room. He was always stressed, and boxing was his way of releaving his stress. Tyson, also known as Ty was not the smartest person, but he tried. He was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was five years old and had trouble in school. He always had to write the letters L and R on his hands to tell the difference between his left and right hands. While he was punching he heard yelling coming from his neighbours house. He stopped and looked out his window, which looked into Justice's bedroom/ He sighed when he saw her dad yelling at her. Justice used to be his best friend when they were kids but ever since her mother died, she pushed him and never talked to him since. He always liked her, and was always trying to talk to her but she just ignored him. He didn't take it personally because she did it with everyone.

"He is such a jerk." He said, as he angrily watched. He felt bit guilty for eavesdropping so he slowly turned his attention to his punching bag.

He boxed for another 20 minutes. He stopped to look at the clock, he tried to catch his breath as he got ready to get a shower before school.

...

Lex Tate sat at the dinning room table with his Dad and his step mom. His father re mairred three years ago, to a woman named Diane. She, along with her son Chase, who was around his age moved in with him and his dad. He lived a totally different life in school as he did at home. At school he was the popular jock, who was the school's bully. But at home, he acted like an innocent angel around his parents.

"Lex, sweety, would you be able to go up and call you're brother down for breakfast?" Diane asked sweetly.

"Yeah, sure." he said before getting up, heading up the stairs to Chase's room. he knocked on the door but there was no answer. He walked down the hall and saw that the bathroom light was still on, he knocked on the door.

"Yo, nub." he said before opening the door.

Chase was not long out of the shower, wearing only his jeans, staring at a scar he had over his heart.

Lex came in and paused when he looked down at where his scar was. His face went from intimidating to disapointed "Um...dude your mom told me to come get you for breakfast." He said, trying not to stare at Chase's scar, that was bringing them both bad memories.

"Oh, uh yeah i'll be right down." Chase said, before taking the gause out of the cabnit, trying to cover it.

Lex nodded "Okay." He was about to leave but then turned around again "Does it still hurt?" He said.

Chase sighed "Not as much. What hurts the most is when I look back on it."

"Yeah...Okay well hurry up." Lex said before leaving.

Chase watched as Lex left. When he was done wrapping his scar in gause and putting on a t shirt, he came downstairs to the dinning room with his family.

"Glad you can finally join us son." Chase's step dad, Boris said.

"Yeah, sorry." Chase said before sitting down to the table.

When they were finished their breakfast, the boys were heading out the door.

"Have a good day at school boys." Diane said with a proud smile.

"Thanks, we'll try." Lex said with a smile.

When they walked outside. Lex's fake smile faded "Remember, try not to get in my way this year." he threatened.

"Dude." Chase said, getting annoyed.

They seperated, walking to their own cars, driving to school.
