Word count: 1483

It was a normal day like any day for Orion, he woke up, ate breakfast, got dressed, said his usual fraze of "this day will be a good Day" and left for school. Orion had dressed in his normal choice of clothing, a red sweater vest over a white shirt and blue jeans. He was always seen as the smart Kid, he was at the top of his class and never skipped. He had eventually made it to the bus stop, he had never liked buses, always so crowded and loud. When the bus did come and Orion boarded he made to sit with his old friend Ryan but was stopped as some of the cheerleaders blocked his path. You see Orion here was quite popular with the girls, his build was tall and lean but strong, he also had one of those faces that all the girls thought was cute, his hair was short and swept to the side neatly. "Good morning girls" he greeted them respectfully, "Hi Orion" all the girls corus in response. "May I please pass so I can sit down" he asked and the girls pouted. "Shure you can," one of the girls, Arial, said.

Orion moved past but not without casualties, one of the girls' water bottles burst and spilled all over him. "OH MY GOSH, ORION ARE YOU OK" cried Arial as she rushed to him. "Im fine Arial, i have another sweater in my locker at school, and besides today will be a good day" Orion waved her off and finally made it to his seat. "Trouble with the girls" asked Ryan looking pointedly at the wet sweater. "All is fine, it's just a little spill" Orion replied while removing his now wet sweater and putting it into his bag. "So how are you doctor of doom" teased Orion, Ryan just glowered. "I thought we had agreed not to bring the campaign into school life" grumbled Ryan "but come on that save last night, who knew you could kill a zombie by throwing a wrench at them", "that was all i had at the time" the two where talking about a game, it was set in a post apocalyptic world and you had to survive, all of Orion and Ryan's friends played as a team. Ryan was the medic and mechanic, while Orion was the team leader.

When the bus eventually arrived at Iacon High School, and its passengers had gotten off, Orion and Ryan walked to the usual meating place of their group. On the way though the two ran into trouble, that trouble being in the form of Sean. Sean,pronounced S-E-A-N no w, is a tall stick of a person who was in a group of friends that generally bullied other students, but he was a bit of a coward and had the tendency to scream."What do you want, Screamer?" asked Ryan dryly. "Oh nothing, nothing, just to congratulate you on your failure","failure of what Sean" ansked Orion. "Failure to be aware of your surroundings" Sean replied with a scratchy laugh, as two of his 'friends' pushed Orion and Ryan into the muddy ground. "OI" cried Ryan, Orion just got right back up and dusted himself off. "SEAN" yelled a new voice. "C..captain"replied Sean in a stammering voice. The new voice belonged to the captain of the football team, Mark. "What is going on here?" Mark asked in a deadly calm voice. "N..n...nothing sir" Sean said and then scampered off with his two lacys in tow. " What did he do to you?" Mark asked while turning around to look at Orion. "None of your business" muttered Ryan, "not you medic, im talking to Orion", Ryan just scouled. "I'm fine Mark, we just fell," Orion replied while avoiding eye contact. A little known fact about Orion is that he had a crush on Mark, i mean he is the football captain and a bad boy. Mark just huffed at Orion's response, "fine then, im off" and with that he left. "Well he is as brisk as ever" muttered Ryan, Orion just nodded his head looking down at his dirty clothes. "Come on let's go to our lockers, after all today will be a good day" the two students made their way into the school.

As they were making their way down the hall to Orion's locker, Orion got 'tackled' by a blond headed boy. "Bee what are you doing?" Orion asked the boy, 'Bee' signed with his hands as he got off Orion's back 'I'm tackling you',"where is Alice, she is usually with you?" Ryan asked the boy. 'Bee' is actually named Ben but due to his favorite colors being black and yellow, and his hyperactive personality he earned the nickname Bee, oh he is also mute. 'She had to get her boyfriend, he was playing catch with Will', "ah i see" replied Orion, 'why are you covered in mud' ever the curious one he is, asked Bee. "Sean ambushed us, we were just going to our lockers to get a new pair" responded Ryan, 'by new pair you mean a lab coat' Ryan liked to wear lab coats whenever he could "mabie" the boys continued to talk as they went to the lockers and got the change of clothes. After changing, the boys went to their first class, English.

"Good morning Alice, Calib, William'' greeted Orion, "come on boss boy, i told you to call me Will" William said, "Hello Orion how are you, you ready for pictures?" asked Alice, "I am well, today will be a good day, and i do believe im ready for pictures" Responded Orion. 'BRINING' rang the school bell and a huge influx of students came through the classroom door. One of the students was carrying a science project, and it's a vat of acid green slime. Just as Orion was moving to go to his seat, the student with the vat of slime tripped on another student's bag and spilled the green slime all over Orion. "ORION",'ORION' called his friends, the whole room went quiet looking directly at the green blob that was now Orion. Taking his hand and wiping his face off Orion looked around, "i'm fine just a bit green" he responded, some of the class snickered and Orion's friends surrounded him Fussing over his ruined clothes. "Oh right on picture day too, these are rewend" Alice, ever the mom of the group, fussed. While the group was fussing, Mark's crew walked in and saw the commotion.

"Well look at that the little nerd got slimed" called Sean, Mark just shook his head and moved forward cutting a path through the growing crowd. He stopped in front of Orion and Orion looked up at him with big slightly teary eyes. Orion generally wont show much emotion unless he was overwhelmed like he was now. Mark reached out and grabbed Orion's wrist, pulling him out of the room and towards an unknown location. "M..MARK'' called Orion as he was dragged out. "Hush we are nearly there" replied Mark. Mark stopped and Orion looked around, they were in the boys gym locker room. "W..wh..why are we here" asked Orion tentatively, "so you can take a shower to get cleaned up" replied Mark as he grabbed some shampoo and conditioner as well as soap and a towel. "Here showers are that way and once you're done, throw those clothes away, I have some clean ones you can wear", Orion didn't argue and did as Mark told him to. Once done Orion returned to Mark who was sitting on a bench with a stack of clothes in his hands.

"Here try these on" said Mark while handing the clothes to a toweled Orion. "Thank you" Mark just nodded his head and motioned for Orion to change. After changing, Orion once again returned to Mark. "hmm pants are a bit baggy but my sweatshirt looks good on you" Mark muttered while circling Orion, "you all set" Mark told Orion who was blushing up a storm. "W..why" asked Orion in a flustered voice. Mark just sighed and turned to look at Orion, "is it not obvious?" he asked, and upon seeing Orion shake his head he moved closer and lifted Orion's haid by his chin. "Then let me make it" ever the poet Mark is. Leaning forward he kissed Orion, not one of those 'a second' kisses but a full on kiss. Orion stood there shocked, HIS CRUSH JUST KISSED HIM, FHSIBEFBKWEHF. Orion eventually closed his eyes and returned the kiss. After a bit the two broke apart. "I knew it was going to be a good day" whispered Orion, Mark just Chuckled and moved away. "Come on, we have pictures to take" Mark said with his signature smirk. Orion just blushed and followed the retreating back of Mark.
