Hello everyone it is I ShadeyMike at your service I know I have another story going on called The Game of Life and I will keep continuing it but this story came to me about a week ago I am using a School type fic for the first time! (Go me!) So I know it might not be the best but I hope you enjoy. So thus begins Lose Yourself.

Ch.1: How Bad Can Life Be?

"Garfield! You're going to be late for your first day come on!" yelled a soft voice that I recognized as my care-taker Ms. Brumfield.

She was a tall beautiful young lady. She had long blonde hair, and caramel skin. Her eyes were deep green that seemed to stare into your soul. That's why I wasn't like her. I lived in the Boy's Home in Jump City and of course I had just started High school.

My name is Garfield Logan, my parents died when I was 8 and I had lived on my own for 4 years. Then the service found me and sent me to this place. Jump City Boy's Home better yet known as Prison with no cells. I had just turned 15 about 2 weeks ago and now I start 9th grade.

If you don't know yet let me tell you, when I was 5 I had come down with a weird disease only curable to animals. My father and mother Mark and Mary Logan who were scientist tried to save my life. They created an antidote that when applied to my body had turned everything on my green. That's why the say 'The Cure is worse Than the Disease'. I was still a short kid for 15 and always wore a black jacket and cape with the hood up.

Ms. Brumfield was a nice lady but every now and then she would get annoying. So I climbed out of my small bunk bed with no one ever on the top and put my clothes on. I decided to wear black jeans and a white T-shirt with my famous black jacket and purple cap. I picked up my almost empty backpack and began to walk downstairs to the very large kitchen filled with kids already.

There I met my best friend named Victor Stone. Another orphan whose parents died young; we never talk about it so I don't know how. His nickname was Cyborg for his scary love for technology and computers. He is 16 and drives me to school now and then inside his favorite care. He made it himself he calls it the T-car, T for Turbo.

Victor is in the 10th grade and goes to Jump High himself; with his ex-girlfriend Jinx. I never known he real name or her last name for that matter, but I didn't care. A real witch if you listen to me. He sat down eating a big plate of bacon and eggs.

"Hey G man want some bacon and eggs?" he asked with a smile.

I hated him for this joke. He knows I'm a strict Vegetarian and never ever will eat a piece of meat.

"Go to hell Vic."

Victor chuckled and got up. He dumped his plate in the sink and picked up his back pack. We walked over to the front door but were stopped by Ms. Brumfield.

"You make sure he knows his class Victor."

"Yes maim I will."

"God luck little Garfield I am so proud."

I blushed under my hat; she always treated me like a real son I didn't know why. I hugged her good-bye and went out the door. There I saw the sparkling T-car ready for another drive to Jump High.

I jumped in the passenger seat and sighed, another school were my color is gona get me killed. I had always been picked on but Victor was there to help me. I was always the weak kid with very little fighting skills and Victor was my opposite, big strong ladies man with a punch to send you up to heaven and back to hell. I know I have had a couple in my lifetime.

I watched him put the key in and I buckled my seat belt quickly.

"Please God let me die in the classroom and not this idiot." I prayed as he turned the ignition.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing."

As I tightened the seat belt we were off like a rocket. Speed limits my ass. Victor couldn't even hear the sirens behind us if there were any. I watched the other cars eat our dust and I yelled out the window in excitement. The window began to close on me and I yelled in anger. Victor always liked pulling pranks on me. But I got him just as good later. Like the time I keyed his car when he through away my tofu.

Jump High was a prison with cells, it was a large 3 story building and behind it were smaller longer buildings. In front were a large football field and basket ball courts and bleachers for people to hang out at.

"What sports you trying out for this year?" I asked him.

"I was thinking football, basket ball, track, you know normal stuff. How about you?"

"Um…uh… guess maybe baseball I have always been a good first base men."

"Let me guess you're going for drama and art to huh you fairy."

"Hey I like those classes and I'm not a fairy!"

"Ya your right, you're a pixie."

I fun punched him in the shoulder and got out of the car. We had parked in the student parking lot to the side of the school and I saw a lot of older kids walking into the main building. I hid my face deeper into my hood and cap and cap and put on my leather gloves.

"Yo G man you gona be alright?"

"I don't know, I don't know what people are gona think."

"Don't let them down; you always have me to back you up man."

"Thanks man, I am gona need it."

He rubbed my hood and laughed.

"Come on lets go get our classes."

I nodded and slipped on my Metallica CD into my CD player it was the black album my favorite one. Victor had bought it for me on my 14th birthday. As I began to walk towards the building I saw one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen. She was slim medium height and had short violet hair. Her eyes were a deep purple and she had pale death skin. She wore a black shirt with a Raven on the front and black jeans. She also wore as deep blue cloak around her.

I saw her look at me and I waved to her. She just looked the other way. I sighed maybe high school wasn't going to be so bad after all if I can get a class with her. Inside the main building there were signs saying Welcome back and others like that. I saw many doors and a couple staircases, most of the doors were open and I saw main rooms like the health office, principals office, dean and counselor offices as well.

Victor took me over to a large room with a big desk and a black haired girl. She was Victors color and had a yellow and black striped shirt on.

"Hey Bee, how was your summer." he greeter her with a large smile.

"Hello Cyborg, mine wasn't bad I got desk duty this year, so you want your classes? Oh who's your little friend?"

I looked down hoping she wouldn't see my face.

"This is Garfield he's my brother down at the Boy's Home. He needs his schedule to, maybe a little later me and you could show him around."

I knew Cyborg was hitting on her and she seemed to like it. She nodded and gave me a large white paper. Then she pointed over to a large area with posters and sign up sheets.

"Those are you electives that you can choose from. If you picking a sport it will be after school, if you're picking a class you have only 2 spots to fill in. Remember that when your looking at them."

I nodded and said thank you softly and walked over to the sign up sheet. Victor followed.

"Great foot ball and basket ball it is then. I guess I will take a Auto shop class as well." He said as he signed the sheet on all three papers.

"I'm going for base ball, drama, and oh I always wanted to learn guitar."

"Are you serious? That would be awesome pick that and then me and you could form a band I can play drum's and I am sure there are other people here who would like to as well."

I though about that and nodded I always wanted to sign I knew I had an o.k. voice and maybe I could get a band formed I made a mental note on that and signed my classes. We walked out and headed over to a corner were a perky young girl meted us.

She was tall and slim with purple boots, a purple skirt and a purple short top. She had long burning red hair and gem green eyes.

"Hello fellow students my name is Koriand'r but you may call me Starfire."

I was looking at hear weird and I knew it. This was a strange girl but I shook her hand anyway.

"Hi I'm Garfield Logan and this is Victor Stone you knew here to?" I asked her.

She nodded and gave me a bone crushing hug.

"Need air please!"

"Oh I am sorry that is how we say hello were I am from. Maybe one of you could help me find my first class."

I nodded and looked at her paper she had almost all the same classes as I did. And first up was my most hated subject, Math. I told her to follow me and we began to walk off to our next class. Victor took us to the room and the left us to go to his science class.

"So tell me are you and Victor good friends?" she asked as I knocked on the door.

"Yes we are, we live together at the Jump City Boy's Home."

"Really that is most interesting I live with my Uncle Galfore not far from the Boy's Home. Maybe we can become good friends!" she said happily.

I nodded and have her a smile under my hood, she was weird but she defiantly was the nicest girl I ever met."

"Please friend Garfiled why can I not see your face. I am sure you are most handsome."

Blushed and shook my head.

"Call me Gar, Star, and don't worry if this teacher has the policy I think he or she does then you will see it soon enough."

I gulped as the door opened slowly. There stood a tall man with a white striped business shirt and long brown slacks. He had on small glasses and spiky black hair. He was actually a good looking dude except he was a dude and he gave us a white toothed smile.

"Good afternoon you two, you're on of the first ones, my name is Mr. Dick Grayson."

I nodded toward him and Kori shook his hand, we walked in and in and saw the same girl from this morning and another boy. He was a little taller than I was and wore a black T-shirt and jeans. He had on black and white sneakers and tall spiky hair like the teacher. His eyes were a hazel brown and he tried to hide them behind some of his hair. He had muscles showing on his arms and chest. This was one of those perfect guys that mad me feel even worse about myself.

"Hey." said the first girl in a monotone voice like she didn't care who I was.

"Come on Raven, give them something more than a hey, how ya do in the names Richard Grayson Dick Grayson's brother. But you can call me Robin."

I nodded to them both and Strafire seemed to melt at Robin's smiled, I could tell she liked him and he blushed when he saw her. They were already hitting it off. We set in the back of the same row me next to Raven and Kori next to me and Richard.

"How you doin the names Garfield but you can call me Gar." I said to both of them.

"Mr. Logan I am sorry but there is a no hood policy in my classroom." Mr. Grayson said as he began to write a sentence on the board.

I made a gulp and sweat came to my face.

"Can I keep the hat on?" I asked desperately.

"Go ahead but I am not sure why you want to hide your face."

I removed my black hood and raven could see the dark green hair but my hat kept a shadow over my face. I sunk my neck and chin into my jacket to keep my skin from showing.

"You have green hair, most adorable!" giggled Kori as she looked at it.

I blushed and sank deeper into my jacket. This was going to be one hell of a year, I can tell.
