Chapter 3: School

Gregor finished his run in under an hour and a half he was very fit for his age and much stronger than everyone else in his class. All his time in the Underland had changed him for both better and worse.

It was currently 5:45 am and Gregor had a lot of time to kill. He walked into school and nobody was there. He wandered through the halls for a while his mind drifting back to the Underland. He went over all that had happened. He remembered when his dad moved the rock that separated him from the Underland and her forever. It was a horrible memory that he hated. He knew that if he ever saw that rock again he would not be able to resist going back.

The first couple days after leaving the Underland went by in a blur. Gregor was completely numb to feeling he couldn't remember much from those few days, he just ate and slept all day, but then he slowly started to become aware again. It had been a struggle to decide whether to stay or come to Virginia. Everyone wanted to stay but Gregor's mother was bent on leaving.

His mom decided that once his grandma was able to move they would move down to his uncle's farm here in Virginia. It had been 3 months and his grandma still wasn't healthy enough to move and his mom kept growing more and more anxious. Eventually it became too much for her.

She decided to move without their grandma despite what everyone said. promised she would take care of her and that was perfectly fine with his mother. Within the week she wanted them in Virginia. His mother was paranoid of him returning to the place that took so much from him that she couldn't see all that it had given him. He had to say goodbye to all his friends in New York because if his mother had it her way he would never set foot there again.

Their weren't many goodbyes because he never had many close friends and those goodbyes we're easy compared to the ones he had to say to the people he grew close to in the Underland. His friends had asked why he was leaving and he had just made up excuses that his friends knew were fake but they knew this was hard on him and didn't want to make it worse. Through the years they still kept in contact and were still friends.

Gregor's life had changed so much these past years and…

Wham Gregor smacked right into a tall big guy that he never know.

Villain POV:

Mike was stomping through the halls mad at everyone and everything. He couldn't tell why he was mad he just was. He wanted to do something bad and he never know if he could control himself.

Wham this small puny kid walked right into him. This pushed him over the edge.

"Watch where your going kid!" he yelled.

The kid tried to move past without acknowledging him but he wouldn't have it. He moved to block him.

"I'm not moving till you apologize!" he fumed.

"Sorry" the kid mumbled.

"No that won't do, I think I need to teach you a lesson you won't forget!" he yelled as the kid looked up.

He got ready to throw a punch and swung but it never connected. Before he knew what was going on he was on the ground body aching in able to move.

"Never try that again" the kid hissed.

Gregor's POV

"No that won't do, I think I need to teach you a lesson you won't forget!" yelled this y'all kid.

The kid got ready to punch and started to swing but Gregor was way ahead of him. Gregor saw the punch coming from a mile away and easily doged, buckles the kids knees, punched him in the stomach and pushed him to the floor. All this happened in less than a second and it ended with the kid on his knees hunching over his throbbing stomach. The kid looked up at him and Gregor could see a look of pure terror in his eyes.

"H-How did you d-do that?" he whispered still scared.

Gregor ignored the question and told him not to mess with him or anyone again or he would have it far worse than today. The kid nodded rapidly and got up to leave. Right as he was about to go Gregor grabbed his collar and told him harshly "Trust me you'll regret it".

The kid scrambled away still in shock of what had just occurred. It was still quite early so lucky no one had seen all of this go down. Gregor decided to just wait in his first class which just so happened to be science.

Gregor has waited for about an hour or so until one of his friends walked in and sat next to him. Gregor wasn't really been close to anyone but he didn't isolate him self because it was too much work and he didn't want to draw extra attention to himself by being alone all the time.

"Hey" Larry and Emma said enthusiastically.

Gregor gave a small hey back and a wave as they sat down next to him.

"How long have you been here?" Larry questioned.

"Oh not to long just before you guys got here" Gregor lied

They looked disappointed.

"Why?" Gregor asked warily.

" oh we saw this kid mike who tries to act tough but today he looked so scared and like he was about to pee himself we just wanted to know if you knew what happened" Emma replied.

"Nope nothing" Gregor lied again.

Lying had become a second nature to Gregor because he did it so often. Nobody could tell when he was lying unless he wanted them to.

"What you doing after school today" Emma inquired.

"Um nothing why" Gregor replied cautiously.

"Perfect" Emma sung enthusiastically, " Larry and I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the arcade tonight and since your free your coming!"

"Actual I just remembered I have work to do" Gregor said trying to wriggle himself out of this.

"Nope you already said you free" chimmed Emma.

"There's no getting out of this is there?" Gregor asked already defeated.

"Nope not a chance" Emma happily replied.

"Fine what time." Gregor asked reluctantly.

""6:00 sharp and your picking us up."

"So I'm being forced into this and I have to pick you guys up? This isn't fair" Gregor complained although he was happy to get out of the house.

"Actually I can't make it" Larry whispered sadly.

"What why?" Emma demanded.

"I have to babysit my brother and sister" Larry said defeated.

"Can't someone else" Emma replies trying to find a way for him to come

"Nope" Larry replied.

"Well I guess it's just you and me Gregor." Emma said happily enough.

"I guess it is" huffed Gregor.

Then the bell rang and the rest of the day went by uneventfully except what was announced in band class with Larry and Emma. The mere thought of it made him so excited he could barely contain himself.

Till the end of school Gregor couldn't stop thinking about announcement and never pay attention the rest of the day. He got on the bus and before he knew it he was home.

He knew his mom would probably never let him but that didn't stop him from being excited. He took his keys out and walked into an empty house. His parents and uncle came home after him and his sisters school ended after his. Gregor leaped up the stairs and ripped the paper out of his bag. He couldn't wait to ask.

Gregor got ready for tonight because he knew right as his parents got home he had to ask them. He put on a pair of jeans and a hoodie even though it wasn't cold out because of all his scars. Then he just waited on his bed for his parents to come home. His dad would be home at around 5 with his sisters because he taught science again at their school and his mom should be home shortly after, she worked as an assistant for the boss of some internet company. Click he heard the door open and he raced downstairs and was greeted to the sight of both his parents and sisters. His mom must have gotten to leave early.

They looked at him quizzically because he was never this excited.

"Honey is everything ok?" his mom questioned.

"Yes yes" Gregor said quickly "But there was an announcement in band today!"

"What announcement" his dad asked cautiously.

"A trip" Gregor yelled.

"Where to?" asked his mom carefully.

"New York City!" Gregor yelled enthusiastically.

It was dead silent no one moved

"Lizzie, Boots go upstairs." his mom said in such a dangerous tone they didn't even ask why.

"No absolutely not" his mother whispered harshly.

"But" Gregor tried.

"No buts end of story." his mom said trying to end any thought of it.

Gregor why don't you go upstairs while I talk to your mother unless you have plans." His father said trying to calm things down.

"Actually I'm going to the arcade with Emma at 6 so I'll wait for Jerry to come home and I'll borrow his truck." Gregor replied.

"Ok you can wait for him then" Gregor's dad said.

Gregor walked out the door to go wait for his uncle hoping that his dad could convince his mom. He saw his uncle pull in and went to go greet him.

"Hey" Gregor greeted.

" Hey what ya up to" his uncle responded.

"Nothing I just need to borrow your car I'm going to the arcade." Gregor said kind still thinking of New York City.

"Sure thing" his uncle said willingly " just don't scratch it"

" I won't" Gregor promised as he took the keys and got into the car.

"Bye thanks" Gregor thanked.

"No problem" his uncle replied "Be safe".

"I will" Gregor responded as he put the keys into the car.

His uncle walked into the house to an unpleasant sight.
