A middle aged man just starting to show signs of hair loss stands at the front of the class writing complex algebraic equations on the white board. Everyone at the front of the class is

either talking, or gossiping about their lives normal adolescent teenagers;however, there were two in the back siting side by side not taking part in the socialization process. One very

good looking shiny neat black hair combed to the side which every now and then a strand or two manged to move in front of his eyes in which he would just brush it to the side. He

was slim, long limbed,not exactly cut out for the foot ball team his bright blue eyes were staring at his notebook while he doodled having already finished his class work. To some he

seemed a bit too pale this came from his almost constant hours of being inside either on the computer or just drawing whatever manged to come into his head. The old math teacher

Mr. Harvey although he made it clear to be called professor Harvey made sure every student had a little name tag on their desks, he was getting old he needed help remembering

who it was wasn't paying attention to him. Draven Remerix that was what the doodling boy's name tag read,every now and then he stole a look at his partner in their isolation from

the rest of the class. Staring out the window the other was almost opposite to his neighbor in every way. Although he equally disliked the sun the other had a healthy tan which

seemed to almost glow. Black hair with strands of bright red hair standing out every once in awhile was messily sitting atop a very uninterested face with deep gray eyes staring out at

the empty cloudless blue sky. Victor, Victor Alexander was printed on his name tag in clear neat cursive which every teacher recognized instantly. The girls always had debates on

which was the most attractive of the two but it always came down to "Victor would be pretty hott if he cared more and cleaned up a bit in the morning". That is exactly why victor

didn't wear anything that made him stick out , not because he was shy he just did not want any of the girls bothering him with their advances he got enough of that his freshman year,

he didn't want his junior year to be the same. The girls have also started having weird fantasies about the two of them and why they spend so much time together. Victor was tall with

compact muscles covering his body yet he wore a baggy black shirt and a old pair of jeans, 2nd period had become the girls favorite Draven and Victor had to dress out for P.E.,

The locker room was being repaired. Draven loved theTwilight series and was always telling Victor about it whenever he found out something new about Edward and Bella. Every

girl has a copy now it seems. Manga and Anime was considered dorky around the high school. Victor loved it he always had a new Manga volume he was reading when he wasn't

staring out into space or listening to Draven. Manga books are one of the most checked out books in the library nowadays.

"Mr. Alexander... Mr. Alexander... Victor!"

The Professor didn't seem pleased as his student snapped back to reality.

"Yes Mr. Harvey."

"Its professor young man."

"Right I forgot."

"Did you hear anything I said the past thirty minutes of class."

"Should I lie and say yes?"

Laughter spread throughout the class.

"It wasn't that funny" victor said more to himself the the class, he did smile though when Draven let out a little chuckle.

"Quiet down class, Mr. Remerix's bodyguard may be funny but lets get back to work."

The class turned and looked at Draven. His face instantly burned up and he looked straight at the table embarrassed. Mr. Harvey should have known better then to pick on Draven.

"Mr. Alexander"

"It's Victor professor"

"Right, please find all the real zeros in three x squared minus two x squared plus x minus two"

He smiled thinking he would embarrass the air head.

"Sir you wrote that wrong if you meant three x cubed then that would make sense"

"Oh that.. that was a mistake"

"Right now judging from the degree technically there would be three zeros however there could always be unreal ones so that also needs to be taken into consideration."

" y... yes right"

"I could always tutor you after class if you are having problems Mr. Harvey oh sorry I meant Professor Harvey"

The angry teacher was cut off by the end of period bell at which Victor and Draven took off.

"you know he is probably pissed at you right now"

"Huh who Draven?"

"Mr Harvey"

"Yes most likely"

"your not worried?"

"nope"

Draven smiled as Victor put all his stuff away in his locker ad picked up his guitar.

"well?"

"Well what you know you worry too much Draven"

"you don't worry at all"

"see we balance each other out"

"Sometimes I wonder if you really are a genius or if your just mentally insane."

"hmm whats this how come you cant talk to anyone else like this?"

"Because... I trust you... You saved me."

"I didn't do anything."

"yes you did"

Victor walks into the cafeteria and Draven quickly catches up to his friend both remember very clearly the day they met and just how cruel society can be to those who are different.
