Why is she talking in third person?

"Kawaii Chan didn't see you there! I'm so sorry!"

Huh? Wait… I FORGOT SHE'S TALKNG TO ME!

I got up, trying to retain my calm composure. "Why don't you watch where you're going?!" I sneered. She looked at me with a tinge of hurt on her face.

Oops…. I went too far….

"Why don't you? You big jerk!" The girl shouted at me with an angry face and ran off.

"Huh? N-no! I didn't…. UGH…." I lifted my hand to stop her but she was already gone.

"Real smooth baby brother." Garroth's voice came from behind me. I turned and looked to see if anyone had heard him call me by that dumb nickname.

"UGH… Garroth, how many times have I told you to stop calling me that!" I rubbed my bruises and looked at him in annoyance.

"Why? You don't mind when we're at home and I say that. Also, you don't mind when mom calls you Zuzu…" He smiled and crossed his arms.

I lost it. "GARROTH SHUT UP! THAT'S ONLY AT HOME!" I yelled at him.

Now everyone was staring at us…

"Why is he yelling at Garroth?"

"Wow, he has the nerve to stand up to him?"

"What a freak."

"He looks nerdy and evil…."

"Garroth, pound his face!"

"Baby brother…" Garroth sighed sadly as he looked around at the crowd then back to me.

"NO! THIS IS THE LAST TIME GARROTH!" I shouted, all my rage coming out. I didn't really fully understand why I was shouting at him, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was taking out my anger about the world… On someone…

"…."

"LEAVE."

"ME."

"ALONE!"

I ran off without looking where I was going.

Ever since I was little it's been like this. Even when I go to this dump, it's still the same.. It will always be the same… I'll never get a girl to like me… I'll never be able to come out of my brother's shadow….. I'll never get a friend…

It makes me so mad!

"You okay there?" I turned around to see who was talking to me. It was the short brown haired girl from before.

"WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU FIND ME?" I shouted in frustration, trying to figure out my own emotions.

"Calm down. I just wanted to see if you were alright…" The girl said sympathetically, keeping her hands behind her back.

"Hmph… Who are you?" I lowered my tone but still glared at her.

"My name is Aphmau! I'm a freshman here! Your name is Zane, right?" Aphmau asked, grinning brightly.

"I'm a freshman too." I said bluntly. "And you're smile is annoying."

"Rude much?" She stopped smiling and removed her hands from her back. "You're a weird fellow, but I'd thought that you'd at least like this." She handed me a cupcake. I started to fanboy.

"CUPCAKE! AND IT"S PINK!" I gobbled up the pink desert. I heard a giggle escape from her lips. "What are you laughing at?" I asked, wiping up the frosting from my mouth with my hands.

"Nothing, it's just I didn't know that someone so evil looking could be a nice freckled boy who loves cute things…." She giggled a bit more. Blood started rushing to my face.

"Shaddup…" I mumbled.

"What are you two doing here?" A black haired boy walked up to us with another boy and a girl. They looked cool.

"Nothing. Why do you care?" I crossed my arms and wiped more of the frosting away so that they wouldn't see.

*Bell rings*

"Well, we'll be going now….." Aphmau said and then whispered in my ear. "I don't like the look on their faces. Come on we have to go." She began to pull my arm.

"Oh so you're going to have your girlfriend drag you away like a baby?" The black haired boy sneered as his two cronies laughed.

"Go on without me. I don't need you." I said, pulling my arm back and completely changing my attitude. I didn't look at her.

"Tsk…. Have it your way then…." Aphmau mumbled and ran off to the entrance. I turned around and saw her disappear in the crowd.

"Wow… I didn't think you'd actually do that. Maybe you have some spunk after all…" The boy mumbled to himself and reached his hand out towards me. "The name is Gene. The brown haired atrocity behind me is Zenix and the gray haired girl is Sasha."

I shook his hand in delight. This guy is so cool! And he looks hardcore!

"So you see, we run a small….. Club here at Phoenix Drop High…. If you want to join, you're more than welcome to." He smiled at me, letting go of my hand quickly.

"That's awesome! When do I join?" I jumped up in excitement.

The three looked at me weirdly. Gene put his hand up. "Wait. If you want to join the Shadow Knights, you have to show us how hardcore you are." He said and leaned in, as if to give me words of wisdom. "And if you're not hardcore, then you don't get to join. Got it?"

I saluted. "Yes sir!"

"Yeah, and um, don't do that…." Gene said quietly and went off with his friends.

"See you around, nerd!" Zenix laughed as they walked away.

I started walking to the entrance, in deep thought.

How can I be hardcore….

"Excuse me! Are you Mr. Ro'Meave?!" I heard a loud screech in front of me. I looked up and saw a black haired woman in a blouse coming towards me.

"Yes that's me. What's it to you?" I asked taking a good look at her. I immediately wanted to take back what I said.

"Is that how you address your teachers?! DETENSION MR. RO'MEAVE! AND ON THE FIRST DAY, WHY I NEVER!" She took me by the arm and started to drag me inside the school.

This year is going to be interesting…
