Oh, first stories galore! I'm so excited!

Now without further adu-

"Why is it always me?"

Warren Peace could see Will Stronghold waving at him from across the school. Hell, everyone could see Stronghold, his patriotic colour scheme stood out like a sore thumb and his hippie girlfriend was holding him up via some sort of free standing ivy.

"Warren! Over here Warren! Come on Warren, over here!" Stronghold's squeaky voice echoed across the school grounds. All of his friends joined him in calling out to the pyro, eager to have him join them on the school steps.

Sighing, Warren made his way over to the group. He just couldn't help himself, they were annoying, yippy, and cynical, but they were the closest thing he had to friends.

"Hey, it's the 'Dub-Dog!" said Zach Erlantz, his hair almost blinding in the sunlight. Warren rolled his eyes but said nothing. Zach was about a half a foot taller than him, and flame retardant, a gift he had learned of the previous year. Fighting him would be stupid. Granted, Warren was probably much stronger than him, but his minute and very protective girlfriend was a black belt.

"Hello Warren. Did you finish Medulla's homework last night?" This came from Ethan Volkan, the only person in Warren's advanced ray class. Warren gave him a nod and Ethan smiled. "Correct me if I'm wrong here, the hot dog ray is the sausage ray in Italy, right?" Another nod and Ethan turned to his notebook to record this. Out of everyone in the little posse he had recently been forced into, Warren preferred Ethan that best.

"God Warren, where were you when I was nearly failing Algebra last year?"

Magenta Portia was, on the other hand, one of the people that Warren did not get along with. Everyone had assumed that because they both dressed like My Chemical Romance groupies that they would get along. However, they didn't. Not in the slightest.

Magenta thought Warren was a prick and that his powers were over rated. Warren thought Magenta was a stuck up poseur who had problems treating anyone as a respect deserving human being. He was vegetarian, she was carnivore. He was lighters, she was cell phones. He liked quiet, she liked loud. The list of their differences reached the moon and back.

"Hush Mag, you passed that class with flying colours." Layla George smiled at Warren and Magenta as they glared at each other. Her red hair was in a high, twisty bun thing, making her look like Lucille Ball. She laughed as Magenta rolled her eyes and Warren turned away smoking. He often wondered if it hurt to be so happy all the time. Surely her mouth must get tired from the perpetual smiling?

"Come on Lay, let the kids have their fun." There was Will, trying to look mature to impress Layla. Ever since homecoming they had been dating, and Will had spent the entire time trying to prove his worthiness. He had crossed out all the hearts he had made with Gwen's name in them, replacing her name carefully with Layla's. Earning a smile from his beloved girlfriend, Will's own grin grew even larger and he put his arm around her.

This show of affection quite frankly made Warren sick. His own girlfriend, Crystal Izotz, would never put up with such foolish behavior. She went by a system that said you only got to hold her when you gave her a kiss, not just because. According to her it was more special that way, made them cherish their time together. Warren didn't quite get this, but he agreed with one of Crystal's other philosophies: Public displays of affection should be sitting next to each other, or buying each other lunch. Not lip locking in front of the student body, as Layla and Will were now doing.

And speak of the angels, Crystal appeared and plopped down next to him. "Hey there Warren!" She said, her high-pitched voice quivering with excitement. Her fingers drummed on her jean leg, the nails painted a chipped dark blue.

"What's all this excitement about?" he asked. They had been going out for almost 3 months; their anniversary had been 14 days ago. It seemed like a lifetime to Warren, a lifetime that he enjoyed living. Crystal was his best friend; she got his crazy moods and urges to kill people. She understood when he needed to be left alone and when he needed a hand to hold. Not ever a shoulder to cry on, he had cried enough in his life, but Crystal understood that as well. It was all enough to make him sick to his stomach some days, but other days it was nice to know somebody who understood him so well.

"I just found out I got a 4.0!" That was another thing Crystal was good at, school. She was intelligent enough not to get lost when Warren started speaking geek.

Sometimes her perfection made his head hurt. She was like a paid actor, the way she said what he wanted to hear, no matter what. He knew that it wasn't a healthy relationship; she was his caretaker more than anything. It just felt good to be loved by someone just because he was himself.

"So guess what?" Will was sitting on his kitchen counter, helping him eat a triple cheese pizza. His mom was not home, though that was very normal. She was often much to busy with saving the world to come home for weeks at a time.

"What?" asked Warren, preparing for some thing stupid or pointless.

"My cousin Anahera is going to be transferring into our school. She's really excited."

`"I'll bet." Said Warren absent mindedly.

"Gee, you sound excited." Will flicked part of his crust at the boy, who caught it and torched it. Smiling nervously, Will said "Why the monotone?"

"It's just, you people flock to me like I'm the Dahli Llama. What's another stalker to add to the mix?"

Will sighed, the boy he had appointed to be his best friend was lacking in some aspects, particularly those involving social behavior.

"She's different, weird." He said. "You'll like her."

"Of course I will."

And that is the end of the prologue. I hope everybody enjoys the story to come. Also, I would like to note that this is not an Anahera/Warren flick, and that she is NOT by ANY MEANS a Mary Sue. Just so you know. Though Warren and Crystal have been going out for a short time because of reasons that we will find out later, it is set in September of Will and Co.'s sophomore year. Warren is a junior.
