Three and a half months later, Casio walked into the school for his first day. He had done pretty well on the exam, and had gotten in with high scores. However, nothing could have prepared him for the challenges of dealing with people who believed they were better than everyone else just because they were from a higher class.
By the third class of the day he had been deemed a spazz, as he was startled whenever someone came up behind him. He had always been jumpy, as anyone from the Black Market would be, with the constant hiding and running away from the law enforcement.
Casio was on the way to his last class of the day when some of the older students gathered around him. The leader of the three was a large candid named Logan, and he was followed by two smaller candids named Jacob and Marcus. "Oh... um.. Can I please get by? I need to get to class." Casio said, looking down at the floor.
Logan smirked. "Awh, is the little kitten scared?" he sneered. His lackies laughed, and then shut up when Logan glared at them. "Listen, new boy, if you want to survive here you gotta toughen up. Otherwise, I might have to teach you all on my own.~"
Casio unintentionally let out a growl. "Ohoho, seems I angered him!" Logen smirked.
"I just want to go to class. I don't really want a fight."
"Hmph. Whatever, I'll get you one of these days. Trust me, you don't want to be on my bad side."
"I think I can handle myself. Bullies are nuttin new to me."
Logan growled and walked away, closely followed by Jacob and Marcus. Casio just shook his head, and headed to his last class.
