In the cafeteria, during lunch time, Nyre found himself sitting amid five girls in the twinkle of an eye. The first girl who greeted him was blond, tall, slender, thin and perfectly shaped pink lips. She sat down right next to him and the other girls sat down on the rest of the empty sit.

 “Ugh... give me a break. Humans disgust me, so puny... this is getting extremely annoying. A few seconds from now, I am going to explode. They keep asking to touch my hair, talking to me, and violating my personal space. I can’t even breathe because my life has been cramped up by these things!” Nyre thought.

 "Your hair is so silky," a girl said as she was patting and running her fingers through his hair like she was petting her dog.

 "What are the deal with you guys and my hair? Just give me a break," Nyre muttered.

 "So, what brings you to Richmond High?" The girl said as she moved closer and leaned towards Nyre who sat right beside her.

 "I just moved here that’s all," Nyre replied.

 "Really," The girl said with interest, flipped her hair, and crossed her legs she like as if hadn’t heard about him moving into the city throughout the whole day. 

 "Yeah," Nyre muttered.

 "So, how are you?" Another girl with luscious curls and caramel skin who sat on the other side of Nyre asked moving closer to him and slightly giggling.

 "How's it going?" The blonde girl said as she placed her on his shoulder lightly and smiled brightly showing her perfectly aligned white teeth which sparked amidst the light that seemed so inanimate. 

 "Umm... I just realized that I have a class, I have to go to now. We would talk later," Nyre said as he stood up from his desk.

CLARIE'S POV

Another day of school, Oh how wonderful. I didn’t get enough sleep last night, I had to work an extra shift at the cinema because I needed the extra money to fix my broken skateboard or get a new one since this is already broken. Thanks to Leo’s test drive, he broke my skateboard trying to perform the new stunt he learnt from the movie he watched last week. I am glad he got hurt at least that paid for the emotional cost of breaking my skateboard.  

"Leo keeps on ranting about this new game he learned to play during the weekend. Right now, I just want to strangle him so he’d keep his mouth shut.” Claire thought to herself as she walked through the hallway with Leo.

 "Claire, you should play it sometime," Leo started.

 "Sorry but the thing is that I have no interest in make-believe games," Claire said.

 "Don't worry you would like it, I promise," Leo assured.

 "Oh really? Thank you!" Claire said sarcastically. 

 "Please stop being sarcastic. Anyways, how has your martial arts training been going?"Leo asked

 "Good, I guess. Sensei says I am as feeble as a lamb. He says I should eat more," Claire said.

 "Yeah, it’s true. You do not have the stature of sixteen years old. You look like someone who can be snapped like a twig," Leo said.

 "Excuse me? I mean, how dare you?" Claire said as she grabbed Leo’s ear and twisted it.

 "Ouch!" Leo cried.

 "Not so feeble again, aren’t I?" Claire asked still holding Leo’s ear firmly.

 "Sorry okay!" Leo cried.

 "That’s not enough,"

 "Sorry. Okay! What else do you want from me?" Leo cried.
