Chapter Two: Confrontations

Katie held him by the wrist as she led him through the horde of students. She released him when they reached a tree with only a few other students.

"Hey!" Katie yelled," show some manners and introduce yourselves."

In an almost military fashion they gave a short role call.

"Jed Rogers." Was spoken by a boy about 6'4" with red hair.

Next a girl with blonde hair and fair skin said with a soft, almost silent voice,

"Sarah Holt."

Last but not least a girl with black hair and a look on her face that said I'd rip your head off if it wasn't illegal said,

"Allison Rose."

"I'm Aiden Marks, nice to meet you all." He said, hoping they would accept him.

Alison walked away but Jed approached him and shook his hand.

"It's about time I wasn't the only the only guy around here."

Jed noticed Aiden was looking over in Alison's direction.

"Don't worry about Rose; she'll warm up to ya eventually. For now you might to glance past my other shoulder and see the way that Skye is looking at you."

"Who's Skye?" Aiden asked.

"That's Sarah's nickname." Katie said.

"Oh." Aiden said as he made a quick glance over Jed's other shoulder.

It seemed it was like the look he thought he gave Katie the first time he saw her.

"Maybe there is something in the air because these crushes are coming in fast." He thought to himself.

"So is this everyone?" Aiden asked.

"No, Jack is gone today." Jed said.

"I'm guessing her full name is Jacklyn or something?"

"Yea." Katie said.

"Anyways, what classes are you guys taking?" Aiden asked.

"Well, I'm taking battle classes and Kat is to I think right?" Jed paused and continued after Katie gave him a quick nod. What he didn't notice is the mocking look Aiden gave Katie at the mention of her nickname.

"Then I believe that Skye is taking advanced care class and both Rose and Jack are using it as a free hour. What are you taking?" Jed asked.

"Well I think I'm gonna take-"

He didn't have time to finish his sentence when someone pulled him away from his friends.

"You don't want to hang out with these losers, do you?" Spoke a blonde haired boy.

"Who are you talking about? Are you looking in a mirror or something?" Aiden calmly responded.

"I'd be careful about saying such things if I were you." He made a quick glance over his shoulder to show the well muscled bodyguards behind him.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. You'd break any mirror you looked at."

The boy was now red with either embarrassment or rage, or perhaps a combination of both. He gave his final warning,

"One more comment like that and I'll have to have my friends hurt you."

"Oh really?" A voice from behind him said. "Let's see what your father has to say about this, just bring you and your friends to his office."

"Will you need us Ms. Clark?" Skye said sweetly.

"No, just this young fellow. What's your name?"

"Aiden Marks." He said.

"Ah, yes the new arrival here. Come with me."

They walked through what seemed to be an eternal labyrinth of hallways. Finally they reached the principles office.

"Yes what is it Ms. Clark?" A man with brown hair that seemed to be in his forties asked.

"Well sir, it seems your son threatened a new student."

The principal turned to the blonde boy and said,

"You are aware of the fact that threatening a person is a misdemeanor if you have the means to do it."

He then noticed the large boys in the back of the room.

"And it seems that you did."

"But dad…" The boy whined as if he was three.

"I am you're principal here and you will address me as such."

"Yes sir." He said grudgingly.

"As his parent I apologize for his actions." He said to Aiden.

"It doesn't bother me, even if they can back up their threats." He said as he shrugged. "However, it does affect some other people, I'd advise you look out for more stuff like that because it happens more than you think."

"I will thank you. You are dismissed."

"Thanks but, I have no idea were to go."

"Oh yes. Ms. Clark would you please lead him to class sign ups?"

She nodded and beckoned for Aiden to follow.

A/N: Originally the fight was physical but that just seemed to rash. If you have any questions just message me. Thanks to theAmazingIronCook for help in this chapter.
