Zack and Cody timidly walked towards the entrance of Rogers High School,afraid of how their new classmates would treat them.New students aren't exactly the favorite members of high school.

They gasped as they walked through the double doors of the school,and was welcomed by sterile,white floors.God,those floors were blinding.Hundreds of students buzzed around them,all laughing and talking together,totally oblivious to the newcomers.

Slowly,they made their way towards the attendance office.

"Zack Martin." Zack said to the lady sitting behind the desk,who was currently typing with fast clicks on her laptop.

"Cody Martin." Cody said as well,nodding.

The lady looked up from her screen and spun around in her chair to another computer seated behind her.They saw her type something onto the screen,and looked over to the printer,which was currently printing out two pieces of paper:their temporary ID's,they guessed.

Zack walked up to the printer and outstretched his hand,taking the thin sheet of paper that it had just produced.A small picture of himself smiled up at him.'Zachary Martin' was typed under the goofy picture of Zack's face,which had it's eyes crossed and it's tongue sticking out of it's mouth.Beside it's face,you could see two fingers sticking out in an attempted 'peace' sign.Typical Zack.

"Locker 14..."Zack whispered to himself,his eyebrows furrowed.

Cody outsretched his hand as well and took his temporary ID just as Zack did before him.'Cody Martin' was typed under the smiling picture of Cody's face.Unlike Zack,Cody took picture day very seriously.Crinkled blue eyes stared at the camera,his right eye slightly hidden by his dirty blonde hair.A small smile flahsed the camera.

"Locker 15..."

The twins made their way out of the office and down the hall towards their lockers,but not before a curtious "Thank you" from Cody.

Zack let a sigh escape his lips as he looked down at his paper and slowly started to turn the knob of his locker.

"26...6...26"

A smile spread over his face as he pulled the purple locker open.He looked over at his brother and smirked. "Having trouble?" he mocked.

"Yes," Cody whimpered,looking back down and trying once again to open his locker.

"36...10...8.How come you get an easy combination?!" Cody said in frustration as he slammed his fist against the cold locker door.He gasped as the door made a soft click and opened with ease.

Cody smile and looked over at his brother. "Piece of cake."

Zack's Point of View

"Piece of cake." Cody smiled at me,after successfully pounding his locker open.

I rolled my eyes and returned my gaze to my locker.I felt my eyes narrow.There was something...carved?...in the back of my locker.

Slowly leaning my head into my locker,I narrowed my eyes even more,trying to get a closer look at the odd picture.A small hangman.The purple paint now chipped away,a light-blue hangman stared back at me,no larger than the size of a marble.

I withdrew my head and shrugged.

'Oh well,' I thought to myself,closing my locker and slinging my backpack over my shoulder. 'It actually looks kind of cool.'

But the thought hardly even ended in my head,when I suddenly felt myself being pushed onto the ground,and I slid across the floor.

I groaned.Unfortunately,I had fallen on my tailbone,which had knocked the wind out me.I shut my eyes tight and took in shuddering breaths.

"Zack!" I heard Cody squeek.I opened my eyes and saw him being pushed against the row of lockers,an even skinner guy than him pinning him to the lockers.He wore tight black pants and a black trenchcoat.

'Identical to Ian's...' I thought,starting to push myself up from the ground.But I was immediately pushed back onto the floor,and felt pain enter my stomach as I felt someone's boot forcefully kick me.

"Get away from him!" Cody screamed.I looked up through my soon-to-be tearful eyes,only to look up into the face of none other than...Ian.

"How's it going down there?" Ian mocked as he leaned over,tilting his head to the side.I heard his...friend?...laughing from behind me,shortly followed by the sound of Cody's struggling.

I grunted as I pushed myself off of the floor.I leaned against the lockers,holding my stomach,and glared up at Ian.Yes,he was just a bit taller than I was.

"Just dandy.You?" I whispered,wincing.Why did it hurt so much just to talk?

I felt his fist collide with my stomach.I groaned and slid down the lockers and got on all fours.

Coughing,I saw crimson blood splatter on the floor.

"Let...me...go!" Cody screamed,and I painfully turned my head to see him punch the boy in the mouth,causing him to stumble backwards,and finally let go of Cody.

He rushed over to my and put his arm around me,slowly helping me to my feet.It hurt to stand.I glared up at Ian,me slightly leaning against Cody's shoulder for support,and wiped a thin line of blood off of my chin with my sweater sleeve.

"What do you want,Ian?" I hissed.

And all he did was shrug. "Just thought I'd give you a preview of what your school year's gonna be like."

He turned around and started to walk down the hall,his friend following him,but not before Ian got the chance to slap me across the face.

"That's for your cocky mouth."

Cody looked at me,pure worry and sympathy spread over his face.

"Come on.Let's go down to the nurse."

'So this is what Cody went through at our old school...' I thought miserably as I stumbled to the nurse's office,slightly depending on Cody's steady arm to keep me from collapsing.

Okay.So yeah.Try and guess who put the hangman in Zack's locker.Lol.Even though it is SO not obvious. o.0

I'm trying not to make my story not so much like the movie.But I hope you guys enjoy the story/chapters none the less. :D

Ok.Definately count on Zack getting really angsty in the next chapter.Warning:It will involve cutting.

Please review.Tell me what you think.It motivates me to write more. xD I want to know that people are reading my story. :(
