A/N) Here's' the first real chapter. I decided to crank it out to actually start the story. And don't worry if this seems boring, I will keep my promise to make it as out of the ordinary as my brain can come up with. I hope it's fun enough for you guys.
Have fun!
It couldn't be any worse then what he'd already been through in his other school. His parents had decided to send him to a further school tin hopes of a higher opportunity. it really was unexpected seeing as he had already started tenth grade for a month now. Maybe he wouldn't be beat up in this school. And even if he was, he could handle it. After all, this was one year closer to the end of high school. He was positive his weapon could carry him all the way through.
He took a deep breath through his nose, tightened his grip on his backpack strap and started up the brick steps.
Come on Jay, just keep smiling.
He entered the huge building and stopped. Inside was... CRAZY! Jay gasped, outside looked like a normal domed, brick building. But inside was a whole different story.
The lockers were multiple colors, all pinned up on the walls. The floor was a shimmering red hardwood floor. The walls a sparkly white and yellow. Books were floating everywhere, somewhere a puff of colored smoke exploded, students wore a uniform that didn't seem so uniform-y(he hadn't gotten his yet) that looked awesome anyway, the doors opened by themselves, the lights were a weird green and white glow that turned on and off by themselves. The soda machines rolled around on their own. Someone was wearing a sorcerers robe, someone else was carrying a couple of spotted colorful eggs.
A janitors sauntered by, his mop following behind him, his bucket thumping after. Jay grinned, his head swiveling almost all the way around, taking in all the weirdness, and technology at the same time.
He looked at the passing students uniforms again, more closely, to see if he could pull it off.
The girls wore skirts that swished right above their knees. Each girl had a different color, he skirts sparkled lightly, but the over all designed was the same. Each one personalized to fit them at the same time, it was a pressed kind of style, where it looked small but really twirly. They all had on a white quarter sleeve shirt that buttoned down. And each one wore a vest again the same designs but different colors, each personalized to the girl. Some had on boots, others sneaker, or flats. They all had their hair up different but each had a pin with the school logo on it.
A dragons head the color of gold with one white crystal for the eye.
It was, after all, called Dragon High. He smiled to himself again as he looked at the boys clothes. Pants of any color or style, as long as they weren't jeans he figured. A white buttoned shirt, with vests like the girls only more guy like, all in different colors and a matching tie. All wore the logo pin. Jay was so busy thinking about how good he'd look in a tie that he didn't watch where he was going until he smacked right into a medium sized boy with ridiculously styled auburn hair. Jay stepped back, slightly worried.
"Um, hey sorry dude I - " He was rudely cut off as the boy grabbed him by his tee and lifted him up.
"Who are you?" The boy snapped, his eyes narrowing, as people stopped to watch what was going on.
Jay stuttered, "Um.. J-Jay. Jay Walker." Horrible flash backs of last year suddenly immobilizing him.
The boy sneered, "Newbie. And a dweeb at that." He shoved Jay roughly into the high lockers. "Stay out of my way or else." He hissed and began to walk away.
Jay straightened, "Sorry. Sheesh, can't I catch a break from numb skulls." His eyes widened in horror as he realized what his stupid mouth just said. Out loud! Two seconds later he was pinned to the wall by the neck, struggling like a cornered rat. The reddish haired boys face burning fury, man... he was actually scary!
"Wanna say that to my face runt?" He spat as more teens gathered around with choruses of:
'He is so dead'
'Is he new?'
'Yah, that's why he's dead.'
'Poor guy, somebody should have warned him.'
'He's stupid, shoulda kept his mouth shut.'
Jay totally agreed with the last guy.
Just as he was about to receive his first black eye in this school, the fist was stopped by a loud:
"Cut it out Burner!"
Everyone froze and turned, even the bully, "Make me Cole."
They all backed away to reveal a tall, muscled boy with shaggy black hair. His face was set and firm. He had silver eyes that were currently narrowed at the bully boy.
"I don't have to. But I bet principal Wu would love to see this performance." He raised a thick brow at the bully.
Slowly Jay's feet touched the ground, the grip around his neck loosened, then he was shoved onto the floor.
"Next time dweeb, keep your mouth shut." He hissed and walked away from Jay. Leaving him with his head down to hide his embarrassment, the crowd dispersed right after that. All except Cole.
He walked over to Jay and helped him up. "Hey kid, you ok?" He asked as Jay took his outstretched hand.
Jay nodded, "Thanks, who was that guy?"
Cole shrugged,"Kai Burner, school tough guy. Frankly I call him a jerk, but everyone else thinks he's to cool to resist, and scary." A twinkle in his eye caught Jay off guard, "He hates me though, knows I don't care. Stronger then him too. So, what's your name?"
Jay smiled now, "Jay, I'm new and I guess I've been labeled as a loser here too." He let out a heart hurt sigh, "And I was so hoping it would be different here."
Cole patted his shoulder, "Naw, not here. We don't really label that fast. Most kids here are pretty ok, aside from Kai and his likes. I'm Cole, I'm probably the only guy with more groupies then Kai and Zane."
"Who's Zane?"
"Oh, you'll meet him soon enough, he's a chill dude, you'll like him. Most people do." Cole started down the bright hall, "Come on, we'll be late."
Jay shuffled to catch up, hey this Cole guy seemed ok. Maybe... he could have friends here! That idea never even crossed his mind. Guess he doomed himself to loneliness forever in his own mind... Cool! A friend! He picked up the pace. Maybe he didn't have to wear his armor here after all.
A spit wad hit his ear, he turned to see from where it came from.
Kai was glaring at him, daggers tipped with fire.
Jay gulped, then again... maybe he did.
