Chapter 2

I am walking through the halls of the high school I graduated into. My brothers and sisters go to the same high school. Three of my brothers are in sports while the fourth brother is into the more logical stuff.

As I'm walking through the halls, I see my brother, Alex, a hybrid oddly enough, standing with a husky named Kodi. Kodi has three siblings; Aleu, Dingo, and Saba. His mom is a red and cream husky named Jenna and a wolf/dog hybrid named Balto.

I overhear Alex ask Kodi, "So when's the party?"

Kodi shrugs his shoulders. "Sometime this week. That's all I know. Juan is throwing it so he expects everyone there."

Juan Gomez and Kodi are on the soccer team with my brother, Alex. I always see them hanging out with each other.

Alex looks over at Daniel and smiles. "What's up brother?"

I smile back. "Nothing much. Just trying to find all my classes."

Alex nods his head. "Alright. How 'bout I show you around?"

"That'd be great! Thanks bro!"

Alex looks back at Kodi. "We'll hang out later, ok?"

Kodi nods his head. "Ok, see you later."

"You too bro."

He then turns towards me. "Let's go, little bro."

I smile and we walk down the hall. He shows me where all my classes are and who the teachers are.

"You'll like Mr. Grenway. He's kind of weird, but he's funny. You'll probably hate Mr. Mertan. He's kind of a dick if you ask me."

I frown at him. "What about the others?"

"The others are alright. You'll probably like them."

"Thanks Alex!" I say gladly.

"No problem bro. Anytime."

I watch as my brother heads off to class or something. I turn around and enter the classroom. I see Mr. Grenway, a tall chocolate Labrador, smiling at me.

"Ah, you must be Daniel Isington. Welcome to Language Arts IX. You can sit anywhere you want."

I smile and I sit down near the middle. There are a couple of others in the class. I see Aleu is in here, as well as Steele's son, Brett. Brett is probably one of those kids you expect to be a dick, but you'll be surprised. He's one of the nicest people in the school. He's best friends with Alex and Hunter. He's even on the basketball team.

Next to him is Kaltag's daughter, Michelle. She is the complete opposite of her father. She never talks unless she has to. She uses the least amounts of words as possible when describing something. But she is extremely sweet… and kind of hot too.

Next to her is Star's daughter, Britney. Britney is kind of a brat. She's mean to people and is a bully. She used to tease my brother Ryan until he called her a bitch. Now she's mean to anyone who is smaller than her.

The three of them are talking and laughing, or maybe Britney is laughing and Brett and Michelle are angry. I have no idea. Next thing I know, Britney is looking at me like how a lion looks at a zebra. She walks over to me and smacks my books onto the floor.

She starts to laugh. "You're so helpless! Being helpless must mean you're weak and stupid!"

I suddenly break out laughing. "Helpless? You are helpless, bullying those who can't do anything about it. How about you go back the way you came before I have to get my brother Ryan to call you a bitch again."

She glares at me and as she walks away, she mouths the words 'This isn't over' to me and sits back down. Well I certainly made an enemy today, haven't I?

As soon as first period was over, I walked to my second class. I see Ms. Cadwell looking at me.

I sit down and I see my best friend Viktor from Ukraine enter the classroom. "Viktor, what's up bro?!"

He smiles at me and says "Nothing much. You?" with that Ukrainian accent.

"Same."

He sits down next to me and we begin talking about our summers and whatnot.

Already, I feel like my day just brightened up a bit more.

When school ended, I took the bus home, completely forgetting that my brother Alex drives a black Dodge Ram.

I made it inside and I did my homework, bloody math, and then went out and played basketball with Hunter.

I wish I could do this every day! Unfortunately, something will destroy my paradise forever.
