Chapter 1
New Day, new kid
Class started as usual as any other day, when the teacher stood up to dismiss homeroom when Mr. Krein said, "Today, class, we have a new student. His name is…," Mr. Krein nose wrinkled as it always does when he reads a new name. Then he said, "Who knows how to pronounce this name?" He turned and wrote the name on the board. Of course my hand was the only one up. "Ah, yes of course our student body president would know yes come on up and being on the 'Welcome' committee you will introduce him to everyone, and show him where his classes are. Okay?" I nodded, and trotted up to the front of the room and started to write on the board the English translation of his name. "Do you know anything about him from his name, Nikk?"
"Possibly his name is derived from a Greek name so…" I broke off, when he walked in the room; all the eyes in the room went to him. He was in a jogging suit and high-tops converse, he had a smirk on his face like he just pulled off a prank and almost got caught, his eyes were a bright blue (when I say bright blue a mean, more like a deep sparkling blue), he had upturned eyebrows like he was going to drop a firecracker down your shirt at any moment, and dirty blond hair.
Mr. Krein said to the new kid, "This is Nikk, she will show you where your classes are."
"How are you, Hermes?"
