DISCLAIMER
It's not mine. Higher Ground belongs to Fox Family and Kyle belongs to Universal Pictures. And a special shout out to my first reviewers especially Twinkie: yay. Another fan of The Unsaid.
The next morning, Kyle awoke with a troubled expression on his face.
"Oye, you okay? You seem kinda funky," Auggie commented.
"Yeah, just…um…bad dreams," Kyle lied.
"Okay," Scott accepted. The boys got dressed and ready for the day ahead.
"Come on. Kitchens," Ezra stated. The boys walked into the kitchen where they met the Cliffhanger girls.
"So, meal prep. Do we do this often?" Kyle queried.
"No, we just do it about once a month," David sarcastically replied. Kyle started for him only to be intercepted by Daisy.
"Main rule of being a Cliffhanger: basically ignore anything and everything David says," she advised.
"Right," the newcomer agreed. The kids turned to their tasks. Jess, Scott, and Shelby grouped themselves together and continually glanced at Kyle.
"What do you think?" Scott whispered after a while.
"I don't know. I mean, he acts kind of tense," Shelby replied softly.
"You think he's like us?" Jess queried in the same tone.
"I hope not," Shelby responded. They all looked to Kyle who was busy washing carrots.
"Yeah. Who'd want that pain?" Scott murmured. With that, he returned to his task of peeling potatoes, his thoughts whirling around the strange actions of the new boy.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Okay, I had an idea that I thought I'd throw out. An AU Higher Ground fic. Okay, I know this has been done before, but the Cliffhangers are going to a regular school and some---but not all---of them still have their problems, except for one main twist: Elaine is not Scott's abuser. Tell me what you think. Love it, hate it, what?
