Chapter 1: Moving Day

Will looked up from his cell phone to see the cul-de-sac he would be living at for the rest of his high school years. He sighed and adjusted his truck mirrors. Dog tags rattled as his hand brushed by them. He pointed the mirror to where he could see his mom and little sister behind him in the large moving van, in reality they just needed another truck; his dad's would've done, but his mo m didn't want to take the chance and have to leave anything in Tennessee.

As he turned left into the driveway of his new home, will saw a really skinny looking fellow walk out the house two doors down. Will got out of his truck and grabbed his hat and glasses. He place his glasses on his head along with his hat. He was proud of this hat, it was the hat he wore in his last rodeo. He had been chosen to ride the most aggressive bull they had. Will still remembered the sinking feeling he always got when he got excited as he wrapped the ropes around his right hand. He tugged on them a couple of times and the buzzer went off, opening the gate , and that was all Will remembered. He was told that he lasted the whole eight seconds, but he couldn't recollect anything from it he was drunk from the fun at the time and blacked out for the night.

"Um, excuse me, hello?" Will heard a nerdy voice call out behind him, he turned around to see the fellow that was walking over here. The kid wore a red t-shirt that hugged his body, showing off that he has never lifted more then a sack of feathers in his whole life, and purple cargo shrts that hung just below his knees, near his shin. The oddest thing about him, though, was the giant black beanie on his head that looked like a stretched out sock

"Howdy name's Will, I guess you can say we're new 'round here." Will's country drawl could be heard by the deafest of people. The guy stopped in front of Will, and stuck out his hand. Will took it and started shaking it, his hand completely crushing the other kid's.

"Oww! Well yes, I did, my name is Eddward spelled with two D's. Most of my friends call me Double D though, because of the two D's" Eddward chuckled , will gave him a look. Double D? The jokes must be horrible, if he went to Will's old school with a name like that, the kids would've eaten him alive.

"Well, Eddward, if you want, my mom and sister has a lot things they need to unload. I'm sure they'd appreciate the help." Will pointed to his mom and sister opening the back of the moving truck. Eddward nodded and walked over to help

Will smiled as he saw the boy struggle with some of the boxes he had to carry. He shut his truck door and started to unload his things from his tuck, he walked up to the room he decided was his. As he walked in, he noticed that it wasn't cleaned out. There was zebra print rugs on the floor, and zebra print bed spread on a ragedy looking circular bed. Will sighed as he set his stuff down, and went out to help with his mom and sister's stuff.

"This is going to suck" he huffed looking into the setting sun. He proceeded to unload his truck and moved his stuff into the living room. As he set the last box down, he told his mom that he was headed out. He noticed the Eddward kid huffing and puffing as if he just wrangled a wild bull. Will laughed and asked

"Hey man, my mom can get the rest, come with me and take me to the place where everybody hangs out." Eddward nodded after pulling an inhaler out and taking two big puffs of it. The boys got in his truck and headed out. Once he was on the road, Will pulled out a small round tin from his back pocket

"What is that? If I may inquire" Eddward asked looking at the tin. Will smiled and chuckled a bit as he put the tin in his left hand nd flicked his wrist, making his forefinger tap it three times, loudly. He then opened the tin; a strong minty smell filled the air around him as he took his right hand and pinched a wad of what looked like dirt from it and placed it in his lower right lip. He put the lid back on and placed the can in his back pocket and grabbed a water bottle with black liquid int it, unscrewed the bottle, and spit it it.

"It's called dip. It's smokeless tobacco." will explained as he spit again. He placed the bottle back in the console cupholder and kept driving. Eddward looked at him questioningly. He never seen dip before, only heard about it from his father, who worked with people from all over the states.

"isn't that illegal for underaged kids to have that?" he asked, confused on how Will could get something like that. Will pulled out his wallet and showed Eddward his license. His 18th birthday was two days ago. Will put his wallet back in his pocket and kept driving. Eddward pointed at a house full of cars and told Will to pull up here.

"this is Kevin's house. He's like the jock of the group." Eddward explained as Will parked the truck and turned the engine off. They climbed out, and headed to the front door. As Will followed Eddward, he heard music coming from inside. Eddward knocked on the door and a short blonde girl with a white tank and black leggings opened the door. She smiled at Eddward and gave him a hug. Then she noticed Will

"what's up dude I'm Nazzarie, but call me Nazz. You must be the guy who moved into Eddy's house." at the sound of this Eddy guy's name Eddward drooped his head a bit. Will looked puzzled, but didn't ask any questions. He reached up and gabbed his cowboy hat and dipped his head in greeting.

"howdy ma'am, my name's William, but call me Will. And yes, I just got here today from Tennessee." he answered his southern drawl making Nazz blush as she let him in. will walked into the house, and noticed that more people was here then it looked. He looked around for a group he could hang with and not be different, but it was definitely clear that no one would be into the same things as him. He should have figured since his truck was the only one not a Nissan or Toyota. Nazz noticed him looking and grabbed his arm to pull him towards a grou of kids laughing as she walked up she called out

"Hey dudes, this is will. He's new in town." Will did the same thing he done to Nazz. The others said hi, but one just laughed. He had on a green muscle shirt that showed his biceps and baggy black gym shorts. He had on a red straight brim hat turned backwards, causing some of his red hair to stick out.

"Wow, we lose one dork just to gain another." he jeered. Will took his sunglasses off and stared at the boy coldly. He could tell the boy is someone who tries to be the touh guy. Will hated some of those guys.

"damn, son. I would have figured that since you're a senior from the looks of it that you would have better nicknames then what my grandmother called me when I was five." the other kids started laughing and the guy started to get agitated. Sensing the hostility, Nazz grabbed the boys arm and said.

"Babe, calm down. He just got here, don't go picking fights. Besides, I'm sure he's way cooler then eddy." but the guy wouldn't hear it. He glared a Will then nodded towards the door to motion that they should finish the conversation outside. Will obliged and calmly walked outside. When he exited he door, he headed to the truck and placed his hat and sunglasses in the bed. He then turned around to the boy and said.

"Now this could go two ways, son…" he started to say, but the boy cut him off.

"Don't call me son, my name's Kevin, and what makes you think a dork like you an just disrespect me in my home?" he sneered, his eyes filled with anger. Will calmly unbuttoned his shirt wan placed it next to his hat. He stretched and popped his knuckles one by one. This isn't what he wanted on his fist day here. All he wanted was to say hi, but this jackass was being rude. And Will hated rude guys.

"disrespect? No I didn't disrespect you. I just calmly stated that you needed better names then what a five year old bitch could think of" will retorted. This threw Kevin over the line. He charged at will swinging for his head. Will side stepped him and sent his left hand into Kevin's gut, knocking him over. Kevin stood up, enraged even more now. Will got into a boxers stance and started bouncing on his toes. Kevin didn't charge this time but edge closer slowly. He threw another punch, but will dodge it. Sending two left jabs into his face causing him to stumble backwards. Seeing the opening, Will attacked. Within seconds he was on top of Kevin, first sending a right uppercut into his gut again. He would then proceed to put two more right jabs into his face, then ending the fight with a left hook, knocking Kevin out.

Will sighed and put his shirt and hat back on. He grabbed his sunglasses and placed them back on his face. He turned around to see the other teenagers staring at him. No one there was able to even come close to protect themselves from getting hurt too much by Kevin in a fight, much less knock him out. After a few second, the kids started cheering, but one girl who was there was just staring at him. No one else saw during the fight, but she caught a glimpse of three large scars on his muscled chest as the boys fought. When she saw the new boy knock out Kevin, she got a weird feeling inside her that she only had once before with the guy who came with the boy.

After the fight, a couple of kids dragged Kevin back into the house and laid him on the couch; the rest of the teenagers followed suit and resumed the party. Pissed off, Will got in his truck and drove off. After ten minutes, he parked his truck and climbed out. He walked over to the passenger side and opened the back door of his truck and pulled out an old beat up, black leather guitar case and headed off to the woods. He walked around a bit until he found a fallen tree by a large creek. He looked around, almost feeling back at home in Tennessee. He sat down, opened the case, grabbed the guitar and pick, and started strumming the tune to a song he loved. After he played a bit, he stared singing the song

" Girl, I been think of us, and you know I ain't good at this stuff.

These feelings piling up won't give me no rest.

Now this may come out a lil' bit crazy, a li' sideways maybe.

I don't' know how long it'll take me but I'll do my best"

he kept playing and singing until the song was over. He then placed the guitar back in his case and just sat there. After a few minutes, a voice from behind him said.

"You're really good. What kind of music is that?' Will turned around to see a girl with short blue hair standing by a tree looking at him, she walked up and sat down by him. He could tell she was nervous. Hell, he was too. He never really acted the same around girls after his last break up before moving here.

"my name's Marie, I saw the fight. Kevin got what came to him, so don't worry." she told him. Will smirked and winked at her

"I'm not I'm just pissed. The jackass wanted to intimidate me, it I've handled worse things then him at home. Name's Will nice to meet you Marie." he said. Marie looked down nervously, she looked back up ant stared at his chest where she saw the scars.

"I kind of guessed that after seeing your scars. How did them where are you from?" she asked. Will tensed up. He hated those scars because it made people worry about them even thouh they didn't look bad. It made him seem suspicious.

" back home I was a bull rider and cattle farmer with my dad. In one of the rodeos I fell got flipped onto the bulls horns nd they scratched me up pretty bad, but I'm fine. And I am from Tennessee. My mom and sister decided to move here to be close to her parent. Her and dad had a falling out. I decide to move with them because I was just tired of the place I was at. Now I just wanted to go home. There I didn't have to get into fights with punks, at least there they had manners and didn't want to fight over senseless crap." he looked over and noticed Marie staring at her in awe. He reached into his mouth and took the wad of dip from it and threw it into the creek. He spat a few more times to get it all out and then just sat there. He didn't say anything else, but noticed she was still staring.

"So you live around here? I didn't notice any houses around this place?" he asked. Marie blushed and smiled at him. After a few seconds she answered.

"there is a trailer park a mile back. I saw your truck on the way home and decided to see what you're up to. Never knew you to be the forest type, but then again you did grow up around them right?" she told him. Will just laughed a bit. He couldn't believe that he'd actually be making friends in the woods. Much less a girl. He chuckled some more then noticed the moon out. He checked his phone and cursed. He stood up quickly and grabbed his case .

"Nice talking to you Marie, but I need to head on home and help unpack." he explained. She looked and him and diverted his eyes. She cleared her throat and asked.

"mind if I helped? I feel kind of responsible for keeping you out so late by talking to you." she asked nervously. Will thought about it. Well, he was sure his mom could use the help so he said sure and they heade to his truck and drove home

AN: Thanks everybody this is my first fan fiction story so I hope y'all like it. I decided to make it a long first chapter to give y'all some bit of reading to do. What y'all think of the fight? I wanted to have at least one antagonist from the group, and since will is a no crap guy, I decided Kevin would be the best choice. I don't know if I'll have them become friends or not, so ill put it to a vote and incorporate it in towards the middle or ending, but not right now because everybody needs a little action. This is when everybody is about to start their senior year by the way. The song is called Honey Bee by Blake Shelton. I don't own the song nor do I he characters except for will. Don't worry ill have the next chapter out soon. Thanks everybody enjoy!
