Walking Dead: Sins of the Parents

First chapter of another new Walking Dead story, similar format to my other story but with a different main character and storyline, anyway, enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Walking Dead or its characters.

Episode 1: Chapter 1

The sunlight trickled in through a crack in the curtains, falling on the young man as he slept. He mumbled slightly in his sleep, turning over in the bed until a female voice called out.

"Kyle, it's time to get up!"

The young man, Kyle Sherman, grumbled as he scrambled to get up from bed.

"I'm up, I'm up mom, I'm up." He replied, voice still thick with sleep.

His mother Cindy replied. "Don't take too long honey, you've got your first day at your new school today."

Kyle scratched the back of his head, looking over at the bedroom mirror.

'That's right...First day at the new school since moving here for mom's work.' He reflected. 'Well, I better get ready.'

Standing before the mirror, clad only in the black boxers he had slept in, Kyle bit his lip. Kyle was a tall young man at five foot eleven, he had close cropped reddish-brown hair, olive green eyes and tanned skin, he had a barely noticeable five o'clock shadow and a normal broad-shouldered build. He was still feeling in a rut from the move, not happy with having to move here and leave his friends and such behind. But as he got dressed, he decided not to dwell on things like that and try to make the most of it. He was lucky he was starting the school somewhat early into the semester, it was the tail end of September, with the trees beginning to lose their now yellow/orange leaves.

He finished getting dressed in the school's uniform which, for the boys, consisted of either a black polo shirt or long sleeved sweater under a black blazer. A purple and gold tie with the blazer having the gold school crest with purple accents on the left breast pocket, the boys had the options of wearing black slacks or mid-thigh shorts, Kyle opted for the slacks and finally finished off with simple black socks and black polished shoes.

'Hey, not bad.' He admitted as he checked himself out.

It was a smart look, one he wasn't used too, being a more casual kind of person. But it wasn't too bad.

"Kyle, come on, we're going to be late." Cindy called up again.

He quickly turned away and approached the door to his room. "I'm ready, mom, let's...let's go."

With that he left the room and got ready to begin this new chapter in his life.

Kyle bit his lip as he entered the school, noting the size of it.

'Oh God...that's all I need, I'm gonna get lost.' He thought to himself. 'I'm sure of it, it's gonna happen some time.'

Even right now he was struggling as he looked around at the various students milling around, all of them clearly in a hurry to get somewhere. He had somewhere to be too, namely the main office to see the Principal and secretary, get his schedule and everything else he needed. But unlike everybody else, he had no idea how to get where he needed to go. To his relief, he saw two other boys that did not seem to not be in a hurry, simply standing talking. They both wore the shorts version of the boys uniform, the first was tall with dreadlocked dark brown hair and brown eyes, light brown skin and a lanky build, the other a tall blonde boy with his hair in a messy mullet, blue eyes and fair skin.

"Hey, sorry, I was hoping you could help me." Kyle said as he approached.

They looked up and the dark skinned boy spoke. "Hi, oh...you must be new here, not seen you around before."

Kyle nodded. "Y-yeah, I'm Kyle Sherman and yes, I'm new here. I'm looking for the office."

"Marlon Chase." The blonde boy introduced himself. "This is Louis Sulieman."

The boys began to explain to Kyle where to find the office and helped him find his way there through the sea of students walking around. But then they had to go to their own first classes and Kyle thanked them before heading inside the office while they headed off.

Exiting the office, Kyle smiled and straightened the tie and blazer, checking the schedule he had been given.

'Well, that's me enrolled, just waiting for the student the Principal called to come and show me the way to class.' He reflected.

He was glad that things were already going well, a good start to the day would hopefully make things more bearable at least until he got used to the move.

"Hi, Kyle Sherman right?" A girl's voice caught his attention.

He turned to a girl of around medium height, fair skinned with long auburn hair tied back in a ponytail, light blue eyes and a slender curvy build with long legs and wearing the girls uniform, which consisted of a collared button up white top with a similar tie and blazer with crest to the boys. They wore a black pleated skirt with plaid purple lines with gold accents that came down to mid-thigh, with black stockings up to below their knees and flats. Brody had her hair tied back with a purple hair tie, the school allowed that colour, or black or gold, the school's colours.

"Brody Burress, nice to meet you." She said.

"Nice to meet you too." Kyle replied. "So, I guess you're here to show me around?"

Brody nodded. "That's right, well, we better get to class...we don't want to be late on the first day after all."

Kyle smiled and nodded, following Brody as they headed to the class.

Reaching their class Brody spoke to the teacher and introduced Kyle.

"Ah, so, you're the new student." The teacher greeted Kyle in a friendly manner. "Pleased to meet you, young man, I'm Mr. Sanders. Why not introduce yourself to the class."

Kyle bit his lip, he had expected something like this but hadn't been looking forward to it. Doing his best to swallow his nervousness however he did so and was soon directed to a vacant chair, next to a young man, wearing slacks like Kyle, somewhat tall, but not as tall as Kyle with dark skin hinting at an Indian heritage, short black hair and black eyes. He smiled warmly.

"Hi, I'm Aasim Rajan." He greeted him. "Brody and I are friends."

"Oh, cool." Kyle replied, that was some relief, it also made him wonder. "Um, you know Louis and Marlon too?"

Aasim nodded. "Yeah, we're all one group, along with Ruby."

Aasim's voice strangely changed a little as he said the girl's name, catching her attention. Ruby was somewhat short with short red hair, blue eyes and pale freckled skin, she wore the girls uniform and was rather self-consciously tugging at her skirt, likely due to not feeling confident showing her legs, probably because of her chubby and admittedly busty build, which also showed mainly on her legs too.

"Aasim, what...oh, hey." She smiled and greeted Kyle.

Kyle nodded. "Nice to meet you too."

But they had no chance for further conversation since at that moment, the class officially began.

XXXXX

Kyle smiled lightly as he finished his latest class, the only issue was that Brody wasn't in this class nor the next one. Which left Kyle in a bit of a quandary about what to do now or where to go.

"So, you're the new boy huh." A sultry voice remarked from behind him.

He turned, startled and saw three girls standing there, the one in the middle being the one who had talked. He noted they all were not exactly wearing the uniforms as regulated by the school, their skirts being far too short, the other two girls socks were only up to their shins, the girl who had spoken wasn't even wearing socks at all. She was pale skinned and rather tall, especially for a girl, almost six feet, in fact pretty close to Kyle's height, she had raven black hair mid way down her back, that was tossed over her right shoulder and brown, almost black eyes as well as thin pink lips.

"Rondi Pels. This is Becca Jones and Michelle Brown." She said, introducing herself and gesturing to the other two.

Both were of medium height, Becca had a petite figure with lightly tanned skin, some Asian features with shoulder length brown hair, thick eyebrows and brown eyes. Michelle was dark skinned with short black dread-locked hair, brown eyes, an average build and full lips.

"Um, okay...can I help you?" He asked.

Kyle was rather wary already, something about this girl didn't sit right with him.

Rondi smiled. "Well, I was thinking I could show you around. You're clearly the perfect kind of guy and I can make sure you get the 'right' people to take note of you…"

"Excuse me?" Kyle said, eyes narrowing.

"Oh come on, I saw you being shown around by that Brody, you can do better, you-" Rondi began.

Kyle fought back a snarl, seeing his initial opinion was right, this girl was a snobby popular kind, the other two her minions.

He was saved the effort of shutting her down however when another girl walked up. She was short, only five foot one with medium length curly dark brown hair, golden brown eyes framed with long lashes, her skin was a pleasing caramel shade and she had an athletic build and was wearing her uniform properly.

"Get lost Rondi, it's people like you that are the problem."

Rondi glared, all niceness disappearing. "You think you're so special Everett, you-"

Kyle then cut in. "Compared to you, maybe she is, now excuse me.

He turned away while Rondi looked scandalised, along with her minions, he walked away with the other girl.

"Sorry about that, but I felt it prudent to step in and end things then and there." The girl explained. "I'm Clementine Everett."

Kyle nodded. "I thought I recognised you, you've been in a few of my classes, Brody told me about you. You guys are friends?"

"Yup." Clementine confirmed.

He smiled and followed Clementine who revealed she was in his next class and would show him the way. However they had barely got around the corner from the classroom when Kyle grunted and stumbled back as he walked into someone, a female someone going by the grunt they had in response, also stumbling back, apparently almost falling over from the sound. Then Clementine laughed and remarked.

"Ah Kyle, I see you've just 'met' Sophie Leigh."

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
