Ch.3: The new kid

As Melissa drove me to my new middle school, I started having second guesses about myself. Wondering if I should make friends at all, or just be completely silent, my thoughts were broken up when Melissa pulled up into the middle school. It was a white building that was shaped like a U and had 2 floors with 2 extra building, the P.E. and library most likely. The main office was the gateway to the school and already had groups of kids in groups talking. The school had some red pillars to support the stairs and such. Overall a nice done building that looked cool. To me though, it was my next nightmare. As Melissa and I walked to the main office to get all the paperwork sorted out I took a seat down and just tried to relax. A thought came to my head and I asked Melissa.

"Hey don't they usually give us the schedule right now?" I asked

"I asked the school to hand one over just for good measure" she said

I slumped back in my chair and just waited. After about ten minutes, Melissa said that her work here was done and she was heading home. I then stood up and the assistant principal began to talk to me and lead me to the next room.

"Ok angel, we are going to have someone show you around to your new classes and such. Are you nervous?"

"Oh me? Never." I said

She smiled than talk to some other staff. After a while she said to wait here and someone will show me around the school. About five minutes later, a girl came along. She had black teared up jeans, a red tank top with black jacket, red Nike shoes, white skin and dark hair that went down to her shoulders. She looked around and noticed me.

"Are you De Angelo?" she asked

I just nodded my head

"My name is Mercy, Come on I'll show you around"

She stood up and walked out the room and I followed her. She began the tour and explained where and what everything was and such. I wasn't really paying too much attention. I never said a word the whole time, just nodding and shaking my head. At the end she finally turned around to look at me and said

"So what do you do think?" she asked

I just shrugged

"Well look, I can understand being shy and all but I promise I don't bite. Communication is what makes friends. Soooo if you don't want to be the weird guy in the corner say something.

I thought about that maybe making friends was not such a bad idea. Just don't get super close that's all.

"Thanks for the tour Mercy, I just don't know if I'll fit in so I thought staying quiet was a good idea." I said

She smiled "That's ok. Were in the same grade and we have 3 classes together so hopefully you're not the weird guy in the corner and we can be friends." She turned her back and walked away to the main office. I headed for breakfast and got some of the nastiest eggs and bread I've ever had in my life. I could smell others people terrible food too as well. I ate it and drank the chocolate milk and went back outside and sat on a bench to wait for classes to start. I looked at my schedule and I had math, science, robotics, lunch, language arts, P.E., culinary and civics. The bell rang and I put my hands to my ears and winced. After the sound ended I look at my schedule.

"Room 463, here we come." I whispered to myself

Most of the day was pretty uneventful, just the teacher explaining there was a new student and that etc. Though in culinary was the only class I noticed Mercy in. I sat down where I was told and waited for instructions. Our teacher Mrs. Green stood up and said

"Ok class, today were going to have a lab. We're going to make brownies, so who wants to make it?" she said

Some hands shot up but not mine. She then looked at me and said

"Angel, go to the back and make some brownies for the class please." She said

"but I don't know how to make brownies" I said

"You would only need one brain cell to know. The instructions are one the back and trust me its easy.

I knew somehow I would mess this up and the class would blame me. I needed help

"Can Mercy help me? I asked

She nodded her head.

As I headed to the back room, Mercy followed behind me. There was a metal looking tables with some ovens and microwaves and more. There was a red box that had the brownie material with some spoons and bowls.

"Ok, ill get some water and you fill the bowl with that brown stuff." She said

"Got it." I said

Once I was down, Mercy came over to the table as I stood next to her. She was about to pour the glass measuring cup into the bowl when it slipped out of her hand. It looked like it was about to shatter when I caught it with my hand, a centimeter away from the ground. I stood up and gave it to her.

"Be careful, I'd rather not step in glass and get my shoes wet." I said

She smiled "How did you do that? You moved so quick and awesome! Thanks, Mrs. Green would have killed me if I broke it." She said

"Nah don't thank me" I said

After mixing some other ingredients and measuring the liquid and such, she told me I can mix it all together. She handed me a wooden spoon and I began to mix very quickly.

"Whoa dude, relax" she said as she put her hand on mine and took control of it. She began to stir quick but not as fast as me. The whole time her hand was on mine and I did not mind. After that she poured the bowl into a pan that would go in the oven. We both looked at our work.

"This looks like pudding topped with chocolate chips with a tornado effect" I said

"Yeah but it will taste great watch." She said as she took the pan and put it in the oven, and she accidentally burned her pinkie.

"Ow Angel look!" she said. I turned over to her and saw her injury. It didn't look bad or good ether. As I saw the class watching a cooking show I had an idea.

"Hey just watch the show, get your mind off it." I said

"How Is Chopped going to help me? She said a little angrily

"Trust me ok? I'm trying to make a friend."

"Ok, ok fine" she said

I grabbed her wrists gently and started to take her pain away. I could bare it and I took all of it in matter of seconds. She turned back at from the Tv and said

"How did you do that?" she asked

"uhhh…oh I read somewhere that human contact can make people feel better" I said

"Well thanks" she said as we both headed back to our tables and watched Chopped. After about 20 min our brownies were done and the class began to ate them. When I bit into the brownie, I looked at Mercy and raised my eyebrows at her. The brownie tasted good, just a little too hard. After a bit the bell rang and we went to our next period. Not much more happened. I went home on my bus and headed to my room. I threw my book bag down next to my bed. I took a deep breath and exhaled. I had at least one friend so I guess I'm not the weird guy in the corner. Scott came in and we talked

"So how was school?" he asked

"Could have been worse" I said

"Yeah well believe school can be a nightmare."

"Let's hope I don't have any dreams lately."

"Yeah well…"
"Yeah well Scott, when are we going after the Calaveras?"

"We?"

"What you're not going to help?

"Kill people? Of course not"

"Murders Scott, there's a difference"

"So what makes you different then?"

"They are NOT innocent!" I said standing up and looking right at him

"Nether are you!"

I took a step back as there was a pause

"So I'm just a 10 year old murder? I whisper. I guess Stiles was right" I say waling past him

"Wait angel". He says as he puts a hand on my shoulder. That's not what I meant. I'm saying if you kill them you won't be."

"So what am I supposed to do!?" I said raising my voice

"We find them and lock them up in a jail or something. Not kill." He said calmly

I was frustrated. Frustrated because Scott was right, killing was wrong. The feeling of power and evilness is not something I liked after Gerard. I laid back down on my bed.

"You…You're right. I should never question my alpha, I'm sorry Scott." I said

"My alpha?" he said

"Scott you punched me once in the chest that made me cough blood, you have earned my respect."

"Yeah sorry about that"

"That's ok Scott. So if I capture and not kill the Calaveras you will help?

"We all will."

"I can't do this without you so deal"

Sorry about mixing the names up together, when I edited it I did not realize that. Also fixed a few other things and stuff. I'm thinking maybe writing 2 more ch and then skip school to the summer and the hunt begins for revenge! Let me know at u guys think. Plz review and like and and that junk
