Hello everyone, how's it going? If you see this, then I probably got this up at about 1 A.M.

Lol

"Time to learn place," he said, with his gang closing any escape for us. Life just keeps getting better and better. As he closed in, I pushed Cel up a little, so I could get him off me. I then grabbed and set him against the wall.

Once that was done, I turn to face the MudWing with fists raised. When he saw this, he just grinned, as if he wanted to pick a fight, especially in front of the whole school.

Wait, I'm no better than him if I fight back. I'll just defend myself, I thought to myself as he threw the first punch. His form was slow and sloppy, making it easy to dodge. I dodged the first punch and ducked at the second, but this left me vulnerable to any other attack. The MudWing then hit me with his tail, causing me to fly until I was stopped, by hitting my head against the wall. I fell to the ground, my head spinning from the painful impact. I then felt something grab my shirt. I was pulled up into the air, my legs dangling helplessly. My dizzy vision went back to normal, only to see a very angry MudWing a few inches away from my face.

"Your life will be more painful after this," he said in a cold voice. He brought his fist back. I closed my eyes and prepared for the fury of pain to hit me.

"SILT!"

The grasp holding me up disappeared, causing me to hit floor with a hard thud. I groaned and opened my eyes, seeing every suddenly interested in their lunches. Then you have the few who looked where the yell came from. I saw this and looked to where the others were looking. My eyes widened when I saw the source.

At the door was a jaw dropping, gorgeous SeaWing named Waterfall with a female SeaWing, SandWing, and SkyWing. She was the pretty much the most popular dragon in school, also a dragon I had a crush on, but that was ruined when she got a boyfriend. She was also royalty, being the niece of Queen Coral (I forgot to mention the dragons from the Wings of Fire series will be in this story too, but they will be hardly seen during the story) and an heir to the royal throne, which she had no intention of being, since she told everyone who asked her. She had deep blue scales that were polished, and a white underbelly. Her emerald green looked directly at the MudWing (who I guess is Silt) and started towards him.

"What are you doing!" she yelled as she was approaching. A few dragons from the tables glanced up, and then back to their lunches, which were body parts of cows and sheep. "Are you going to answer?" she glared at Silt, who was backing away from her.

"I was just showing this NightWing his place, babe," he told her, quickly adding the last part. She then looked at me for moment before looking back at Silt.

"Well-uh I-um," he stuttered for a moment, before getting his snout under control. "He was insulting you and your royal family," he lied. I gave him a 'really?' look while Waterfall gave him an unconvincing look, clearly not believing a single word he said.

"Tell me the truth," she hissed at him, causing him to take another step back. Silt was trying to find another lie to use, but Waterfall wasn't going to be tricked easily.

"I needed lunch money, so I was asking him," he answered truthfully, pointing at me.

"So you decided to beat him up for the money besides asking him nicely," she said, looking very pissed off. "You decided to pick on him just because the teacher said he is successful." I looked at her with an eyebrow raised; clearly interested that she even thought about whom the NightWing was. She then took another threatening step towards the muscular MudWing.

"Do you even know why I decided to be your girlfriend?" she asked. Silt was about to answer when she kept going. "I decided that because I thought you were a nice dragon. Someone who cares about others and what happens to them. A dragon that was responsible about everything he did."

"You, on the other talon, were none of those. You pick on helpless nerds," I cringed back at that part. "You beat them up if you don't get what you want. You use them as punching bags, whenever you're pissed off. Besides, you aren't even responsible! You can't remember to bring in lunch money! You're not the nice I thought you were going to be." She hung her head low, as if she was blaming herself for all the trouble Silt caused to other dragons.

"Baby, I'm-,"

"No more of that!" she roared at him. I covered my ears to avoid going deaf. Other dragons cringed back at their tables, avoiding the conversation that was going on. "No more fake apologizing to me! No more thinking I'm in a toy you can use! You're a hopeless, stupid, short-tempered pervert!"

She then stormed out of the cafeteria, followed by her three friends. Silt just stood there, completely shocked by what just happened. Then he slowly turned to me, with a face that was full of fury, looking like he was ready to kill anyone in his path.

"You!" he roared. "You caused me to lose my girl friend!" He lunged at me with a speed my brain couldn't process. Goodbye world, as he tackled into the wall, again. My back roared in pain as he dug his talons into my shoulders, making blood start to spray out. I cried out in pain as my shoulders burned in agony. Tears started to form in my eyes as I thrashed back and forth, trying to get him off me.

After a few seconds of unbearable pain, I heard some yelling, and an oof that came from Silt. Opening my watery eyes, I saw a Cel holding down the MudWing, who was struggling under him.

"What is going on here!" a familiar voice roared. Everyone stopped what they were doing, especially Silt and Cel, and turned to the voice. I was relieved when I saw it was Quickthinker. He rushed towards me, and gently grabbed my shoulder. I gasped as I felt pain spike up where he touched. He realized what he was and let go, muttering something that sounded like an apology. "You'll be alright," he whispered to me before getting up.

"WHO DID THIS TO HIM," he roared. Every dragon in the room looked towards Cel and Silt. The dragons in Silt's gang were backing up, clearly trying to escape the wrath of the calculus teacher. Quickthinker turned to Cel and Silt, processing as if he was trying to figure out who was the one guilty. Dragons murmured to each other, clearly talking about what just happened in the cafeteria.

"Celsius," he said, looking at the IceWing. "Take Galactic so you both can see the nurse."

He nodded, walking over to me. He ducked down as I put my shoulder around his neck. I groaned in pain as he lifted me up, but managed not to yell out in pain again. As we walked out, I heard Quickthinker say one more thing.

"You and I are going to talk to the principal, Silt," he said in a cold voice. I smirked as we headed down the halls.

Going down the hallways was very uncomforting. On one talon, I felt a new, sharp pain every time I took a step. On the other, all the dragons in the hallways were staring at us. They looked at us with wide eyes as we passed them, as if we've gone to war. I knew that most of them were probably looking at the blood gushing out of my shoulders. They moved out of the way as we headed towards the main office.

"There you go, boys," the RainWing nurse, Vibrant, told us after she wrapped bandages around my shoulders, stopping the bleeding.

"Thank you," Cel said. He looked extremely tired, due to the scuffle he and Silt had. I knew he was worrying about me. This is why I was grateful to have Cel as a friend. He was always loyal to anyone he cared for, even to those who rejected him in the end.

"You two better get back to class," Vibrant said, putting her medical supplies back into the cabinet next to us. I nodded as Cel lifted me up and put an arm around his neck. Vibrant told me I was still too weak to walk by myself, and that I should be able to walk on my own in a couple hours.

We headed out of the office and towards the class we had next. No one was in the hallways, which took off some of the stress I had, but there were going to be a lot of eyes on me as soon as I walk in, which didn't help comfort me.

It was a quiet walk, before Cel spoke up. "You going to be alright after school?" he asked.

I nodded. "The nurse said I should be able to walk on my own in a few hours," I responded.

"Okay," he began. "I'm going to stay in your class for the rest of the day to help you around." I raised an eyebrow at him suspiciously, but I couldn't argue with him. I had no chance of being able to walk without falling on my face. It was better to be treated like a young dragonet rather than being humiliated every five minutes.

We approached the classroom and walked in, only to be greeted by silence. Our geography teacher was sitting at his desk, focusing on us as we walked. Cel walked over to him and gave him a slip of paper. He took the paper and looked at it. He folded the paper and nodded to Cel as he threw the paper away.

"A couple of empty desks are back there," he told us. We nodded gratefully as we headed towards the back of the room. Dragons glanced at us as we passed, but none of them bothered to look directly.

Cel lowered me into my seat, and then he went to the seat next to me. There was nothing going on and dragons started chatting to each other. I guessed that he let us have quiet conversations. I sighed, being tired and in pain did not help with the last day of high school. We already had our ceremony for some reason I didn't know. There was nothing for me to do, so I just closed my eyes, resting a little before school was over.

RRIIIINNNNNGGGGG!

I shot up from my seat at the sudden sound, my heart beating heard. I calmed myself down as Cel made his way towards me.

"Let's get out of here before Silt has any ideas," he said. I nodded, shivering at the thought he was waiting for us somewhere outside. He lifted me up and put my arm around his neck. We headed towards the door, and dragons still in the classroom cleared a path for us. We walked into the hallway, which was half empty. Some dragons were hurriedly taking out anything left in their lockers, while others just walked out the nearest exit. Cel took me to my locker, and I grabbed my wallet out.

We exited the building and headed towards my car. As we walked towards the car, I heard someone yell my name. I turned around and I immediately froze.

It was the most popular dragon in school, Waterfall, making her way towards me. At first, I thought she was pissed at me. Her face had a blank expression, but that didn't really give me any reassurance. I then scanned around the parking lot, seeing most dragons were staring at me intently.

"Hello-uh hey-um hi Waterfall," I stuttered as she stopped, six feet in front of me. I mentally slapped myself for stuttering in front of the school. Most of the dragons in the parking were trying hard not to laugh. "What a nice surprise."

"Galactic…" she trailed off when she looked at my shoulders, looking very concerned. I was confused for a moment and looked down at my shoulders, only to see them starting to turn red. Shit, I thought, panicked. I'm still bleeding, not good. "Are you okay?" she asked. I was shocked by this, not really ready for a question concerning me.

"Yeah…..yeah, I'm fine," I responded, avoiding eye contact with her. It was a long, silent moment before she spoke up.

"I'm sorry about what happened in the cafeteria," she told me, her voice shaking.

"Don't be," I said bluntly. "If I just gave him the money, I wouldn't be in bandages having my friend care for me like I'm a hatchling." She coughed to cover up what I would assume was a giggle, but then got all serious again.

"If that's what you say," she said coldly. "If that's the case, then you ruined my life." I backed up a little bit, but she took a threatening step at me. "I still don't believe it's your fault, but you had a part in ruining my life. You will have to go through a little bit more pain."

I started to walk backwards, unaware that I was using my arms while walking back. Waterfall stared at me, wide-eyed, when she saw me do this. I was quite shocked when I did this too. Realizing that I could walk and possibly run, I gave her a dry smile and bolted.

"Galactic!" she screamed at me, running after me. Cel was already at the car, frantically trying to find the keys. Grabbing my keys, I yelled to him and blindly threw them. My arms erupted in pain by the sudden activity, and I stumbled, before doing a roll and continuing to run across the parking lot.

I saw the keys fly through the air and land in Cel's hand. He pushed the keys into the ignition, making the engine roar to life. I was only twenty yards when I heard wing beats behind me. I quickly turned my head to Waterfall gliding towards. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, I continued to run, ignoring the pain.

Cel then put the car in drive and stepped on the gas. He accelerated towards me, carefully maneuvering so I had a better chance of getting. I jumped, closing my eyes that nothing would go wrong. The next thing I knew, I landed into the car, but jerked back to the speed Cel was driving. He drifted out of the exit of the parking lot, and onto the road. The last thing I ever saw was Waterfall screaming at me to come back. I shivered of what she was would've done to me if I stayed. That thought quickly disappeared as we drove on, getting away from the hell Cel and I had to go to for four years.

Hello everyone, sorry this wasn't uploaded at 1 A.M. in the morning, I was tired. I hope you enjoy the new chapter and I will see you soon.
