CHAPTER ONE Ian Hecox did not like change. So when Matt Sohinki invited the new kid over to their table and Ian sat next to someone, he wasn't too happy. The new kid's name was David Moss, and he had moved in from Ohio at the beginning of second semester. He was now living with Mari Takahashi, who was a close family friend. Why he lived here now Ian didn't know. He didn't care to find out. All he knew is that the new kid was taking the only empty seat and he wanted it back. Ian barely heard a word of conversation that day, but he could tell that all his friends liked David. By the fact that Anthony and Kalel, who had been dating since the first few weeks of freshmen year, took their eyes and hands off each other for at least ten minutes, talking to him, Ian could tell that he was here to stay. He hated it. He wanted everything back to the way it was. His easy days of life were now over thanks to David Moss, a kid he hadn't even uttered a single word to. Now, Ian had to focus on getting over the hurdles. He should have been happy to have a new friend, but he just wasn't. He cursed him over and over in his head. Ian had only known of his existence for twenty minutes. The next day, Ian decided to listen in. David was shy and mostly quiet, but everyone kept asking him questions. "Where did you say you were from?" "Ohio, originally." "You're a sophomore with us, right?" He nodded. "Do you like video games?" He nodded, his eyes lighting up. Simple questions went around, and David would ask similar ones to get to know everyone. The one question that was asked a month later made David lighten up. It only made it worse for Ian. Just what he needed. More change. "What do you think of my hair?" It was the first time any of them had seen David smile. He gave Kalel a look, "I like it." Kalel's hair was a caramel color, but the tips were all different colors and it looked like one of those lollipop sticks. Ian honestly thought it looked nice, but he wanted the old way back. She smiled up at Anthony, "I told you. The have cool people in Ohio." "But no one cool comes from Texas am I right?" David looked at Matt, grinning. Everyone was shocked. No! Ian thought, I was just getting used to you barely being here and now you're talking and joking and smiling stop it go back to how you were! David looked down, "That wasn't funny, I know." "That was awesome." Joshua smiled, giving Erin a quick glance before pushing his glasses up and looking at David. "I'm surprised you said something that long." Erin said in a joking manor. "I'm still caught up over the fact that he smiles." Mari said. David laughed. "Don't overwhelm us!" Anthony grinned. Ian was still upset over the change, and he remained indifferent towards David all year.
David pushed his chair across the room to reach Mari. It started spinning and he had to brace himself. He hated spinning. "Whoa. You okay there, buddy?" Mari was busy playing video games. He nodded, then remembered that she couldn't see him, "Yeah." "Pretty good school year, huh?" David and Mari had just gotten home from the last day of exams. Kalel had driven them, as usual. That was David's favorite part of the year: Kalel. Of course, he wasn't interested in her romantically; he was just surprised that someone like her would hang out with someone like him. He honestly thought that the two of them were becoming closer than he was with Mari. He and Kalel told each other everything. "Yeah. I don't think Ian liked me very much." "Bullshit. Everyone loved you." "Except Ian." David frowned, pulling his jacket off. Mari shrugged, "Ian doesn't do well with change, that's all." "Hopefully I won't be considered change by next year." David frowned. "Relax, everyone loves you. Kalel and Anthony stopped making out all lunch and actually talked to us for more than five minutes. It was awesome." David smiled, "I really do like her hair." "She's dying it again." "She is?" She nodded, "Some kind of turquoise. She told me all about it. Don't tell Anthony though." "Right. Don't tell Anthony. Got it." David nodded. "You what's going to kick ass?" "Me beating you in this game." David grabbed a controller. "Yeah right, but no, I meant this summer." "This summer is going to kick ass?" "Well, yeah. We got invited up to Anthony's lake house, remember?" "I didn't get an invitation." David frowned. "It was addressed to the both of us." "What the fuck is this game?" David stared at the screen. "It's really underground; I'd be surprised if you had heard of it." "Well, I haven't, now move over. I want to play Portal." "Go play with your little turret thing." David rolled his eyes and pulled his inflatable turret over his head so it rested on his shoulders, "I'm supposed to be getting Wheatley soon." "He's downstairs." Mari replied, not looking at him. David bolted downstairs without another word, "Mrs. Takahashi! Mrs. Takahashi!" "Honey, you can call me mom now." She smiled, "You're living with us." "Err….mom." David almost had to force out, "Mari told me I got a package." "Ah, yes. There are several boxes here addressed to you." She crossed her arms, "If I remember correctly, that credit card was for emergencies only." "This was an emergency!" "Two hundred dollars' worth of Portal gear isn't an emergency." David could tell that she was trying not to crack a smile. "You know I only had four shirts." He frowned, "I needed more." "I also see that you have bought a Chevy Chase poster." She looked at the receipt. "Our room is literally just solid girly posters." David crossed his arms, "We needed someone manly." "So you chose…." She looked at the poster, "The only man who changes his identity more often than his underwear?" "It's a classic movie, Mrs. Takahashi!" He frowned, "Um, I mean, mom." "Alright, alright. I'll explain that I bought this for you and I'll replenish your card." She pulled him in for a hug, "Just promise me, no more spending it without my permission. David released one arm and reached for his boxes. HEY EVERYBODY! LIKE I SAID, I'M GOING TO BE 'ADOPTING' Unwashed Wonder's STORIES BECAUSE SHE ISN'T IN THE FANDOM ANYMORE...
