He looked happy and sweet all of a sudden, the cold expression melting away as if he could never wear it in a million years.

"It's O.K. I couldn't just sit there and watch them beat on you for no good reason. Besides, no one has EVER been so nice to me on the first day," Ken said. "They just assume that I'm some freak that wants to be a loner, when I'm really not like that at all. I just dress and look a little different then them," he finished with a smile.

I grinned back at him, happy that he felt the same way I did. Just because someone doesn't look like you doesn't automatically make them a weirdo that doesn't want friends or something.

"Yeah, I know how you feel," I said.

We walked away from the crowd of people that were now trying to wake up James. I stuck my tongue out at him as he lay there on the floor.

"Um...I don't have any more classes today, but how about we do something after school? You could come over to my house. So?" I asked.
Ken grinned.

"O.K., that sounds great." He giggled after saying that.

"Good, great! So meet me in the soccer field after school then?" I asked.

"Yep, sure," Ken replied.

From there we ate our lunch in the small time we had left and after walking with him to his next class we went our separate ways.

As soon as I got home I sat on my couch and stared blankly at my wall. I couldn't stop thinking about Ken. Everything about him was new to me. I studied the mental picture of him in my mind, hearing his voice, and remembering his disposition, distant and cold, but warm and sunny all in the same. He'd been so sweet to me, and a major threat to someone else, but somehow I felt I knew him already, maybe because Ken and I seemed to think so alike. Whatever it was, I couldn't wait to learn more about him. It was then that I noticed that I had been sitting there for almost an hour, just thinking about my day at school and how Ken influenced it. I turned to the T.V to keep me busy until it was time to go meet Ken at the school.


I walked down the road feeling rather light on my feet when, out of nowhere, a bad feeling hit me like a ton of bricks. I even stopped dead in my tracks. I looked around myself nervously, but I kept walking to the school anyway. Then it hit me. Revenge, those guys are going to want revenge on Ken for making a fool out of them.

I started to run to the school now, thinking maybe I could get to him first. I reached the school's soccer field and spotted Ken by the road leaning on a pole. I sighed, but kept running nonetheless, that bad feeling still haunting me. Then I saw what I had predicted. James Hally came out from the bushes behind Ken and gave Ken a big shove. Everything was in slow motion as Ken stumbled back into the street. I saw the car headed straight for him and watched the old man slam on his brakes.
