Episode 2: Chapter 1

The bitter chill of winter had set in and the school students were all glad to be inside. The drop in temperatures had of course caused changes to the school uniform. Namely any boys that wore shorts had switched to joining the other boys in wearing slacks while the girls had swapped their knee socks for thick tights. Among a group of friends, this was notable in the boys, namely for five of the boys who had worn shorts just back in the fall. Those boys were Louis Sulieman, who was was tall with dreadlocked dark brown hair and brown eyes, light brown skin and a lanky build, Marlon Chase, a tall blonde boy with his hair in a messy mullet, blue eyes and fair skin with a normal broad-shouldered build. Omar Silverstein, a slightly chubby dark skinned young man with brown afro hair, brown eyes and a casual smile, Kenny Jr., better known to them as Duck, who was lanky with short brown hair, brown eyes and fair skin with prominent ears. The final boy who normally wore shorts but had switched to slacks for winter was Tenn Leigh, a dark skinned boy with short cut black hair and black eyes and, shockingly, a burn scar on the right side of his face. Four of the remaining five boys hadn't had to make any changes, two of them were seated with their girlfriends, two of the girls from the group, while the other girls were all smiling and chatting too.

The two single boys were Mitch Daymond, tall with short but messy brown hair, brown eyes and fair skin, along with a normal but broad shouldered build, and Willy Cowden, who was somewhat below medium height with short brown hair, brown eyes and fair skin, fairly skinny. The remaining two boys were Gabriel Garcia who was with his girlfriend Brody Burress, Gabe was a moderately tall with medium length messy brown hair and brown eyes, tanned skin and somewhat lanky. Brody 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. The other two were a boy, somewhat tall, with dark skin hinting at an Indian heritage, short black hair and black eyes and a girl who was somewhat short with short red hair, blue eyes and pale freckled skin and had a chubby and admittedly busty build, which also showed mainly on her legs, they were, respectively, Aasim Rajan and Ruby Hillis. Amongst the remaining girls, two of them were seated next to each other and kept sharing glances and looking away quickly, as if trying to hide something. They were Clementine Everett, a five foot one girl, 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 Violet Adlon, a girl around five foot two, yet despite that she had long legs, shown by her uniform. She also had short somewhat stringy blonde hair with heavy bangs, pale skin and green eyes with strong features. Of the remaining girls, there was only one, a girl with short but thick black hair that didn't quite reach her shoulders, olive toned skin with soft brown eyes behind red framed slightly thick glasses, she was skinny, rather petite, her name was Sarah Chaikin.

There were three other members of the friend group, but they were not seated with the others. Of the other three, one was a boy, 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 sighed as he brushed off his uniform slacks and looked longingly towards a girl, one of the remaining two girls who were part of the friend group. A tall lanky girl with long red hair and light green eyes, pale skin and who had just quickly pulled her own longing gaze away from him before he could lock eyes with her. His name was Kyle Sherman and he was confused and worried about the girl he had been growing feelings for.

'And I was sure...I was certain she felt the same. She gave so many signs.' He thought sadly. 'But now, now she's keeping her distance from me, will hardly talk to me, it's like something happened.'

He watched sadly as Sophie Leigh finished getting what she needed from her locker and walked away. He shook his head and went to grab what he needed as he had an impromptu, indoor, football practice. As he did so he noted the final member of the group and glared at the smug look on the girl's face. Sophie's twin sister Minerva, who naturally looked similar to Sophie, but she had her hair short, shaved on the left side and a scar in her eyebrow.

Kyle narrowed his eyes. 'Minerva's always hated me, I don't get it...regardless I'm sure she had something to do with Sophie's sudden change.'

Even if she wasn't, Kyle could clearly see that her smug look was indeed due to that, given the smirk she sent his way before heading off to her own class.

Shaking his head he finished grabbing what he needed and had just shut his locker when it happened.

"Hey Kyle."

He groaned and turned to glare at the girl who had approached him with a grin. 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, it was Rondi Pels, the girl who was obsessed with him, while being the school's mean girl and main bully. She wasn't flanked by her usual minions but he could see them standing not too far away, also grinning. Both girls were of medium height, one had a petite figure with lightly tanned skin, some Asian features with shoulder length brown hair, thick eyebrows and brown eyes. The other was dark skinned with short black dread-locked hair, brown eyes, an average build and full lips. They were respectively Becca Jones and Michelle Brown.

"What now, Rondi. I'm in a rush." He said firmly.

Rondi shook her head. "C'mon Kyle, you we need to talk about us, we-"

"Us, there's no us, Rondi." He snapped. "When are you going to get it, I don't like you, I don't like girls like you, now leave me alone."

He stalked off to football practice, his mood darkened even further. Rondi watched him go, well aware of Michelle and Becca's eyes on her. She flushed in anger and humiliation.

'What, what was that?' She thought angrily. 'I don't get it, this isn't right, he should be all over me, why isn't he reacting properly. I'm hot and the best, he wants me, he was just getting his head turned by that whore Sophie and I took care of her, why isn't he…?'

Her confusion and anger remained with her as she stalked off, her minions hurrying to try and bring her back up. It was just another typical day, albeit with some tension for Kyle in regards to wondering what was going on with Sophie. He had no idea however just how bad she was feeling.
