John pov
John have been to different high schools in the past year but this one have to be the worst and the reason for that is the one and only Sherlock Holmes.
"You're still not done the assignment? How long is it going to take you idiot?"
"Not everyone is a boy genius like you so just back off," muttered John.
"You're a brave one aren't you? We're going to have such an enjoyable year, well for me."
John shuttered at the threat since he knows Sherlock wasn't one to joke around. Sherlock have a reputation of being an emotionless machine who looks down at everyone else. Most people are afraid of him, don't even dare to even go close to him. But John wasn't, Sherlock have been the prince of the school for much too long and now it's time to give up his throne and John is going to be the one to throw him off of it.
Sherlock pov
Sherlock wasn't sure why he was so cruel to those around him. It was the only things he was unsure about. But he have collected that the most problem was caused by his life at home.
"Please Mycroft, don't go. Don't leave me again."
"You know I have to go. Don't get sentimental Sherlock, caring is not an advantages."
"I know Myc just come back soon okay."
"I'll see what I can do."
Sherlock knew Mycroft won't return for another 6 month for Christmast since he disliked being at home almost as much as he does.
Their mother died a year ago, the time their father became an alcoholic and everything changed for the Holmes brothers.
Their father blamed the death on them, mostly Sherlock. He, like everyone else, think of him as a freak. A freak who has brought shame on the family and caused their mother to fall ill. Mycroft have some restrains when making deductions while Sherlock liked to share all the information he have deduced to everyone.
The beatings were horrific, Sherlock have been burned, punched, kicked, he even blacked out half way a couple of times.
After Mycroft left for university, Sherlock have never felt so alone, and the only logically solution seemed to be turning off his emotions.
He has successfully turned off all emotions except for pain. During his 2nd year, he decided to turn his pain into anger. But he didn't know how to control it. That's when everyone began to fear him, stayed as far away as possible, making Sherlock feel more isolated than ever. He wanted to make friends and be care, but he didn't know how. He can't let in one emotion without letting out all the rest. There was no one worth enough to care about, certainly not Donovan or Anderson.
That all changed when John arrived. At first he tried to nice, he even tried to say hello. But he saw the look in John's eyes, fear and disgust. He must have listened to rumours. Sherlock felt a spark of pain which he immediately turned into flaming rage. Deep down he still hoped he could be John's friend than foe, but some connection is better than none.
