A Taylor Swift song wakes me up from my dreamless sleep, it means Adam sent me a text.

Adam: Watch ur back Rodney's mad u.

Marcus re Adam: y

Adam re Marcus: a video of u beating him up got posted online, Trent's not happy since u beat up one of his best offensive linemen.

Marcus re Adam: He's the P.E. teacher y should I b afraid of him?

Adam re Marcus: He wants the whole football team to teach u a lesson. I don't know y ur really smart.

Marcus re Adam: lesson in this context means 2 beat up

Adam re Marcus: Ok

Marcus re Adam: G2G

Adam re Marcus: Bye!

I hope Douglas didn't see that, he would kill me if I exposed my bionics.

"MARCUS!" Douglas yelled.

I throw my school clothes on and grab my backpack before making my way down stairs. When I reach the bottom I find a very angry Douglas with an iPod in his hand.

"What is this?" Douglas asks showing me the video that someone took yesterday.

"Um a fight?" I say.

"It looks more like you beating five humans up. If people find out about your bionics I will personally turn you into the government so they can experiment on you. I will not take the fall for your stupidity, do I make myself clear?" Douglas warns. He looks at me, waiting for a response. He squeezes my arm, leaving bruises, when I don't reply.

"Yes sir." I reply, and then hastily leave to my bike.

Line break

As I enter the building I get mixed reactions some people, the ones who usually get bullied smile at me but have fear in their eyes, the popular crowd send glares my way, Maya refuses to looks at me, and when I see the Davenports they all give me surprised looks.

"Go away." Leo demands, but his small figure leans away from me.

"Be nice." Bree whispers to Leo.

Then Owen walks up to me, "Thanks for finally putting those bullies in their place." His sincerity surprises me, but what makes me lose my poker face is when he sticks his hand out and says, "I'm sorry for the way I treated you in the past, and I hope we can become friends."

I take his hand, and recompose myself, "Sure." I agree.

Then Bree and Owen wonder off to their lockers, I hear Bree say, "That was really nice of you." She then kisses him on the cheek.

Caitlin seems to materialize out of now where and asks, "Is it true, did you really beat Rodney up?"

"It was self defense." I reply, that seems to be enough of an explanation for her, and she walks off to go gossip or something with her friends.

"Maya called me last night and ranted for an hour about some fight she witnessed. She didn't reveal any names but I assume she's talking about you." Chase says, trying to seem neutral but I can tell he's on Mayas side.

"Yeah. They threw the first punch." I defend myself.

Chase holds his hands up in defense, "I'm not taking sides, but I'd watch my back if I were you. Upsetting the football team leads to humiliation till you graduate." He warns.

The bell rings and we all head off to our separate classes.

Line break

Saying today was weird would be an understatement. Before I was the new kid, with a bad boy attitude, now I'm one of the most feared people in the school.

As I walk to my motorcycle I feel people following me, I don't look over my shoulder knowing it's the football team minus Adam and some freshmen. Right before I reach my bike they surround me.

I smirk, causing some to get angry, "Sorry, I can't talk right now I have plans." I try to push past them but they prevent me from leaving.

"I think your plans just cleared up." A guy with red hair and brown eyes says.

I just roll my eyes and find a small freshman that looks like he's only here to be cool. So I walk up to him and push him out of my way, he falls with a loud thump. The guys next to him seem stunned so I just walk out. I'm on my bike before anyone notices I'm gone. As I drive off I hear them blaming the freshman.

Line break

I'm sitting with Adam, Chase, and Leo during lunch. Leo is shooting me glares every five seconds, which I respond with throwing mash potatoes at him when no one else is looking.

"Hey so I heard about this band competition coming up, and I think we should enter." Adam suggests, and then pulls the crumpled flyer out of his bag.

"That sounds like fun!" Leo enthusiastically says.

"Leo you don't have any musical talent." Chase says.

"Neither do you." Leo retorts.

"I can play the guitar and sing. Plus the violin, ukulele, banjo, -" Chase brags before Adam cuts him off.

"I can play drums." He says ignoring Chases glare.

"Can you play any instruments?" Adam asks me.

I can't but I'm bionic so I'll learn fast. "Yeah. The base guitar."

"HE CAN'T JOIN!" Leos voice becomes high pitched as he says that, causing the people around us to laugh at him.

"Why not?" Adam asks.

"Yeah Leo why not?" I sarcastically say knowing he won't be able to justify his complaint.

Leos face turns red and he looks down at his food, which he just realized is covered in mash potatoes.

"We can practice at our house after school." Chase suggests. We all agree and then talk about band names through out lunch. Leo is still irritated about me hanging around their house.

Line break

We practice for a few hours, I'm the base guitar, Adams on the drums, and Chase plays lead guitar and sings. Leo tried to join, but he discovered he had no musical talent so he just watches us.

"You guys sound great!" Tasha says when she comes out to check on us. We all say thanks.

"So I ordered Pizza for dinner. Marcus would you like to stay for dinner?" Tasha asks.

Before I could answer Leo says, "I'm sure Marcus has better things to do."

"If it's fine I can stay." I say mostly to upset Leo.

"Of course you can say." Tasha says.

"No you can't stay." Leo says at the same time Tasha says yes. Tasha shoots Leo a look that says you are in big trouble.

"Just kidding, of course you can stay Marcus." Leo squeaks.

A/N Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes. I try to get them all, but I miss some. If you spot any let me know and I'll go back and fix them.

I haven't decided yet. Sorry for taking so long to update, I was having writers block.

Soooooo goodddd: I'll try to be more prompt on my updates.

actressesrnerds2: Thanks for the review, and I plan to continue the story.

.2002: I'll read some of that and its really good! I was born and raised in America (I've never left the country even though I live 100 miles away from Canada). But if I could speak Russian that would be cool, a translator app I have translated that.

Do you speak any Russian?
