Chapter 1: Friends, Bullies

And Detention.

It was a normal day at school. Zack and Cody were strolling down the hallway, towards their lockers. They were walking by themselves (Max and Tapewormmoved away, Bob is really ill). "I just can't wait to get my test results back! Can you? I hope I did really good, the questions were a bit hard though. But that's not going to stop me! I probably aced it like last term!" Cody kept ranting on about the science test they did last week. He just wouldn't stop talking about. Zack was getting really annoyed with his blabbering. He just wanted to slam a book in his face, tie him to a chair, his mouth gagged, in a dark room and leave him there for all eternity! But he himself knew he wanted to know the test results he got, after all it was an easy test that not even he could fail. tThey approached their lockers and entered the correct combinations. Cody took out his notebook, science book and a textbook. He placed his english book inside and shut the locker. Zack just took out a science book and textbook. He wasn't the person who took notes in class. After that they walked to the science room and waited for the teacher to arrive. Dr. Tandeas was a teacher who had short-term memory loss and was a very idiotic person. One time he was doing a science expirement with a class and he forgot everything he was meant to do. In doing so he placed a large chunk of magnesium and placed it above the bunsen burner instead of taking the small piece. Once the metal reacted, a bright white light filled the room literally blinding everyone in the room. A few moments later he arrived, unlocked the door and ushered everyone inside. Once seated, Cody took out his pen and began scribbling notes down as soon as Dr. Tandeas started babbling. Every few minutes or so Cody would remind him of what he was saying. Twenty minutes later, Dr. Tandeas began handing out test results. Once Zack got his he started whooping and hollering to his classmates that he actually got a C- (instead of the usual D or F). Cody, as usual, got an A+. "Cody, look! I got a C-! I actually got a C- in science! Mom is probably gonna give me a present or something! She has to, I just know it!" Zack kept screaming in everyone's face that he got a C-. After twenty long minutes, he finally fell asleep like he usually does.

After school finished, everyone walked out of class, glad to get out of the hellhole parents call "school". The twins were heading back to their lockers to put their stuff away, and grab their jackets. It was getting closer to winter, which is why they had them. It also meant that it would be snowing and that school would be closing for a few weeks.

As they headed back to the exit of the school, Cody took a drop onto the floor landing on his face, hard. It was no surprise that it was Markus who tripped him up. He always bullied everyone. Especially Cody. It became a daily routine that Cody was picked on by Markus and his "gang". Everyday it would be different with what Markus did to Cody. Yesterday it was mugging him and last week would be shoving his head down the bin right after everyone had their lunch. That way his head would be clouded by unrecognizable foods. Zack tried defending him once but he got worse than what Cody got, so Cody told Zack not to defend him so only one person would get hurt, not two. This time Makus decided to just beat him up, badly. He and his goons began ganging up around Cody, and gave him punches here and scratches there, but worse was to come, they only just started. Two other kids, a boy and a girl around Zack and Cody's age, noticed Cody get beat, receiving no mercy whatsoever. They began to murmur to each other. Onc they finished talking, they walked up to Markus and his posse.

"Leave him alone, you twat!" The boy yelled at Markus. Wrong move. Markus ordered his posse to stop beating Cody and head for the other two standing there giving him a cold, icy glare.

"What d'you call me?!" Markus yelled right at their faces, yet they didn't move an inch. Nor did they answer back. "Are you lot deaf or something!" Markus said, not intending it to sound like a question. "I'm going to ask you one more time. What d'you call me?"

This time the girl spoke up and said "He called you a twat. And so do I. What are you going to do about it?" She answered calmly and clearly and without hesitation. ''Well?"

Markus' posse stood there shocked by what they just heard. Noone ever, ever, talked to Markus like that. He clenched his fists tightly ready to kick the opposing two's ass. He knew the six of his gang (including himself) was enough to take care of the problem. Boy, was he wrong.

As Markus took a swing at the two, they ducked with ease. The boy did a roundhouse kick to Markus' face, by doing so, his lip began to bleed-in two places. As if on cue, the gang got in fighting stances ready to defend themselves, and if neccassary, to kill. Markus just stood back, letting his goons do the work for him. Three of them, two boys and a girl, headed toward the girl, who looked like she fought her whole life. Meanwhile the other two goons of the gang, both boys, attacked the boy. One of Markus' goons tried to give the boy a kick to the face, but the attack was dodged. The boy(who called Markus a twat) gave the other boy who was regaining his balance, two fury punches to his face. One to his right eye and one to his left cheekbone. And to finish it off, he gave him a kick to the chest. It was so powerful that it knocked him off his feet, sent him flying through the air into a wall which knocked him outcold! The other goon was shocked to the core! The boy(who called Markus a twat) took this opportunity to take him out of the picture. With one smooth punch, the goon was knocked to the floor and and was bleeding from his nose.

At the same time, the girl had already taken out two of the goons. Just one left to take care of. Markus' goon, the only girl of the group, gave a punch to the girl's lip. Now she was pissed. Her lip was bleeding. She gave the goon an uppercut and a jab to the face. And to finish her off she gave one BIG gobsmacker to her cheek which twisted her neck all the way around, but not enough to break her neck, but enough to knock her out.

Now Markus was all that was left of the gang. He was furious. He pulled out a knife from his backpocket and says "Bring it on, retards!"

"What'd he call us!?!" The girl was so pissed that she gave multiple hits to his face and finally gave him a kick in the crotch. Whining because of the pain he recieved he drops to the floor screaming like a baby girl.

A teacher walks by and notices the kids who just recieved the beatings of their life. After making up her decision she gives all of them detention, including Zack and Cody, an hour long.

"So I never got to thank you two for saving our ass back there. And what's your name by the way?"Zack asked the two once in detention.

"I'm James, and she's Renai. And no need to thank us. She's your whitlighter it's her job to. And I'm a witch just like you..."
