Chapter 5

Nothing sucked more than sitting in the office waiting to see the principle. Karl was probably going to ground me for even longer now. I was sitting in a chair next to that Hazard kid. Every time out eyes met he would glare at me, I'd glare right back and he'd look away.

I looked around the office and noticed pictures of the Numbers up on one of the walls. They gave me an idea of getting the green haired kid in trouble. He'd probably end up hating me but I didn't really care.

"You have a marker?" I asked him.

"Yeah. Why?" He questioned.

"I need it." He reached in his pocket and pulled a black permanent marker out. He handed it to me and I stood up.

I walked over to the wall with the pictures and pulled the cap of the marker and started doodling on the pictures.

"What the hell are you doing?" Hazard exclaimed. I ignored him and kept doodling. I drew devil horns, a curly moustache and a pointed goatee on Number VIII (8) picture. I had just finished when I heard someone coming. I put the cap back on the marker, threw back at Hazard and sat down just as Number VIII walked in himself. He looked at the marker in Hazard's hands then at the pictures.

"Hazard, mind explaining why you decided to vandalize theses pictures?" He asked.

"I didn't do it! He did!" He exclaimed as he pointed at me. I smirked and Number VIII looked at me for a split second.

"Explain why you're the one holding the marker."

"He threw at me."

"Do you have any proof?"

"No."

"Then I'm letting Mason know," and with that he left. As soon as he was out the door I burst out laughing. Hazard stood up and finished messing up the rest of the pictures just as someone else was coming. He threw the marker at me and sat down just as the person walked in . It was Mason. As in our principle Mason, and he was looking right at me. He looked at the marker that was now in my hands then at the pictures. All the evidence was pointing to me now. Hazard was so going to pay for this.

Mason led us into his office and started lecturing us. I must have fallen asleep because I woke up when someone jabbed me in the ribs. I blinked.

"Train Heartnet, you do not fall asleep during my lectures. I'm sure Mayor Walken will love hearing how much trouble you've caused."

Just great. He was calling Karl because I had fallen asleep during his really boring lecture.

"And you Jenos Hazard. Don't think you're parents aren't going to hear about this. I'll be calling them too." Now I finally knew his name and at least he wasn't getting off the hook. "Now, both of you head back to class."

That night Karl wasn't to pleased. He grounded me for another two weeks. I was stuck on the property for over a month. After supper, I went to my room. This had been that Jenos Hazard's fault. He was going to pay and I couldn't wait. For the next few hours all I did was think of ways to get back at him.

The Next day at school wasn't that bad. Except for the fact that Jenos Hazard was in all of my classes. I was better then him in all of them and he had apparently been the best. Most of the class were surprised that I could beat Jenos in so many things. I had the best shot in Marksmanship, I was the stealthiest person in Stealth. I had even managed to sneak up on Anubis, our teacher and he's a wolf.

I could tell Jenos wasn't to please with me. Especially because all the girls were paying more attention to me then they were to him. I guess I was slowly becoming more popular than Jenos and he hated me for it. I sat down alone at lunch but was soon joined by a couple of girls that were in my classes. Jenos followed.

"Hey girls. Greeting the new kid?" He asked as he sat down across from me, in between the two girls.

"Hey Jenos," they both greeted him. I didn't get what they saw in Jenos. I mean who would find a kid with green hair good looking? Definitely not me and I'm not just saying that because I'm a guy and so is Jenos, but having green hair is weird, even if it looks black sometimes. I didn't say anything.

"I'm Jessica and this is Tiffany," the girl right in front of me said, "What's your name?" I was a bit surprised that she was actually talking to me because no one, except Jenos who didn't count, had talked to me all day. I had heard some people, mostly the girls whispering and glancing at me. I looked up at her. She had blond hair pulled back in a ponytail, with her bangs hanging out and blue eyes. I looked over at her friend. She had light brown hair in the same style as Jessica and she had green eyes.

"Train," I told them. I waited until they started laughing but they didn't.

"I like it," Jessica said. I just looked at her. I still had to get used to being at this school. It was different when no one made fun of you.

"So ladies," Jenos said before anyone could start ignoring him completely, "Do either one of you ladies have anything going on after school?" I stopped paying attention to Jenos and his flirting and looked at people still coming into the cafeteria. Out of the corner on my eye I noticed Jenos put something that looked an awful like hot sauce in my sandwich. I couldn't stand hot foods. I waited until he was busy flirting with Jessica and Tiffany when I switched our sandwiches. The girls had seen Jenos put the hot sauce in my sandwich and they noticed me switching them. I put my finger in front of my lips to tell them not to tell Jenos. They started giggling as Jenos grabbed his new sandwich.

I watched as he brought it to his mouth and took a bite. His face turned bright red and he started going crazy trying to find some water. Jessica and Tiffany started giggling even more and I burst out laughing. Peoples started looking over at our table. I finally stopped laughing and a smirk found it's way onto my face as I noticed Jenos stalking towards the table. The cafeteria was silent as he approached.

"How was your sandwich?" I asked him.

"You're going to pay for this Heartnet. Watch your back," Jenos told me before turning around and leaving.

"Wow. I never seen anyone beat Jenos with a prank," Tiffany told me. It was the first time I had heard her voice.

"I guess this year is going to be a fun year then," I told her.

"How'd you know he put hot sauce in your sandwich anyway?" Jessica asked.

"I always pay attention to my surroundings and Jenos isn't very stealthy." They both laughed.

The last class of the day was Combat. It was the same class that me and Jenos had first met in. He had taken a little longer coming out from the change room so I was a bit suspicious. After class I went to the change room as fast as I could. I had managed to get my hands on some itching powder and I was planning on putting it all over his clothes.

I grabbed his shirt and threw half of it on it then I threw the other half of the powder on his pants. He'd have no idea what happened. I changed and was just leaving as Jenos walked in. I started heading to my locker when my arm started feeling itchy. I scratched my arm and that just made it worst. I was feeling itchy all over when I started putting my stuff away. I was scared that I had accidentally put the itching powder in my own uniform but then I saw Jenos and he was scratching. Then it hit me. We had both put itching powder in each others clothes. We glared at each other as I headed out the door.

As soon as I got home I asked Vanessa to wash my uniform and I took a shower. Jenos was going to pay the next day and I knew exactly how to do it. It was only a matter of if I'd be able to do it or not.
