As soon as Vance reached the school gates he felt eyes lingering on him. He glared at people who were staring at him while making his way to the schools large front doors.

The bell rang and he was off to his first class, which was English. He didn't really mind English since he sat at the very back alone, and since his teacher didn't check up on him at all.

As soon as he entered the classroom he realised that there was a new seating plan. Great. He quickly scanned his eyes over the board and found himself sitting at the very front of the class next to someone called Bruce Yamada.

As he sat down pulling out some scrap paper and pen, the kid next to him began to introduce himself. "Hey, im Bruce! You're Vance right?" He murmured out a quick yes and started doodling on the left corner of his paper. After around 15 minutes Vance found himself looking at a small sheet of paper that was passed to him, laying on his desk saying "Hi-Bruce". Vance looked up at the boy next to him but seen him busily working away.

The note
"Hi-Bruce"
"hi-vance"
"Do you need any help on the work? I noticed you're not writing much- Bruce"
"no i dont need help, mr perfect- vance"
"Alright then, if you do need help I'm always right here :) -Bruce"
"uhm ok-vance"
-------------------------------------
Vance wondered why this kid was being nice to him. No-one except his mum was nice to him. He quickly brushed the thought off as Bruce just checking up on his peers. Surely he passed notes to everyone. Right? After a few moments of thinking the bell rang, letting the students aware that class was over.

Thankfully Vance had a free period next, so he packed his things and headed out of the classroom slinging his bag over his shoulder. As he walked through the wide, loud corridors he bumped into someone, the kid accidentally knocking him to the ground in the process. That 'someone' just happened to be Bruce. "Im so sorry!! Let me help you up!" with that being said, Bruce reached his arm out to Vance extending his hand out with a slight smile. Vance blushed slightly, his brows furrowed. He pushed the other boys hand away and got up himself. "Watch where you're going next time Yamada", Vance said with a tinge of harshness in his voice. Bruce let out a quick sorry, but he didn't leave Vance's side. "What do you want?!" Vance said, beginning to get a bit annoyed. "I was wondering if you'd want hang out this period" Bruce said with a smile. Vance began feeling his face heat up as he quickly hurried away, leaving Bruce in the middle of the corridor confused. Why did Bruce want to be around him more? He didn't think someone like him, a 'perfect' baseball star would want to hang around with someone who gets into fights on a regular.
