Look, I just wanted to have a normal life like everyone else. Being an outcast in a school full of other outcasts isn't easy. Most of the time, you feel lonely and depressed. Sometimes it even drives you crazy.
If you're reading this and have an average normal life, don't try to dig into anything. Just believe in whatever lies people tell you and try to live a normal life. I warned you.
My name is Neo.
I'm fifteen years old. And I'm a student at Nevermore academy, a school for outcasts. I've lived here my whole life. But Am I an outcast? I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
See, my parents abandoned me on the doorsteps of the school. I was raised by the staff and teachers, never knowing the love or care of a family. I didn't really want to think about it or talk about it. Until things took a dark turn in the Poe Cup.
I was so excited, sitting in the canoe, I can even hear my heartbeat. I was the copilot in my team the Raven, also my favorite poem.
People cheers on the dock and the canoes were lined up. I was sitting there cheering, getting ready to win this. The only thing that suck was, there was Zane captain of the Lanore the other team. He's An athletic, conceited, popular guy, for me he's just a bully.
He has been beating everyone at the Poe cup for several years, no one hasn't gotten close to beat him. I can see him on my left in their canoe, proudly waving his hand at the crowd, girls screams his name, "ZANE!" "ZANE!" "ZANE!".
He turns his head towards me and sees me," You're going down, Loser" he said. "I doubt it" I murmured, as the starting gun went off, all the canoes langed. I paddle as hard as I can, and we were set to the Raven island.
Just when we were off the dock The Bells, sirens, bump into our canoe and passed us, they were fast . We were in second place and doing great so far, but then we got approach, the spinning saws from the Lenore's cnoe were getting closer and closer, I need to think fast, just before the saws nearly cut open our canoe I shouted "everybody stop paddling!" everyone from my team stopped paddling and look at me confused. The spinning saws past by just a few inches "that was close I said".
"That's what you get Losers" Zane shouted as they passed us. We were save for now, I can not stand him, I need to beat him and show him that he is not better than everyone.
They catch up to the Bells. It's nice of them that they didn't use weapons on us earlier, since I have good relationship with the sirens.
As we paddle our way up the river I can see the island up ahead we need to do harder go faster. As I am speaking another team, The Sleeper catch us up, one of them swing his peddle over my head as I duck, almost hitting me, "That would have been bad" I murmured to myself. I push him hard with all my strength in to the river with my paddle, I almost fell into the river in the process.
Kai and Noah my teammates and bestfriends, poak holes to their canoe with spires, they don't stand a chance. We peddle our way to the island as their canoe start to sink.
When we arrived to the island the other teams has already left with their flags. Me and Axel our captain ran as quick as we can, grab our flag and ran back to our canoe. We jump in to our canoe as Kai untie the rope.
We were off the island, peddling as hard as I can, going as fast as possible. I can see the two other teams in the horizon attacking each other, when we approach The Bell team's canoe head was chopped off and sinking, Zane knocking people in the river "come here cowards" he shouted".
He's a ware wolf. he has brown hair and brown eyes, he's very competitive and good at every sports, that's why even the Bells, sirens can beat him even in their own game. We were close to the finish line I can see the dock people standing on everyone cheering.
I got carried away when I see Selena, the girl everyone likes in the school, she was cheering smiling and just beautiful. As I was gazeing I fell my feet getting wet and cold when I look down there were a hole in the side of our canoe and the cold water of the river getting in.
Have we lost? I ask myself I can't prosses this, when I look back up I see a paddle coming straight at my face. I got hit, by the crazy maniac girl Kylie. "Ha ha gotcha sucker" she says as I fell into the river. the cold water hugging me, then I was blacked out.
