Changed Me ( Rewritten)

Nat and his best friend NuNew are walking through the school halls to get to their locker when someone trips him. Causing him to drop all of his books. " Oops my bad nerd " says the unknown person. He just ignores them and quickly gather's his books before standing back up. " Let's go NuNew " he says before he continues to walk towards his locker.

           As soon as he gets to his locker he quickly unlocks it and puts his books in. " Are you ok Nat " NuNew asked him. " Nothing I'm not used to " he says before closing his locker. He turns around to look at NuNew. " They're coming NuNew " he says as he notices a group of people walking towards their direction. " Do I look ok " NuNew asked him. " You do. However I don't think P'Zee will notice you " he says.

           The three most popular kids in our school. Zee, Poppy and Max. Zee is popular for his looks and intimidating aura. NuNew has idolized him ever since he started coming to this school. Although he doesn't understand why.

           The second one and most tolerable one is Poppy. Poppy is known for his kindness and for his funny personality. If he had to be friends with any of the three, he'd choose Poppy. He feels like there's a small chance him and Poppy would actually be able to get along.

           The last one is Max, his least favorite. Anyone that he sees fit to tease, he will. He's also a major flirt. It doesn't matter who you are, Max will flirt with you. Which he finds incredibly annoying. He could never get along with him.

            " There's always a possibility of him noticing me. You never know " NuNew says quietly as they walk to their lockers. That so happens to be right across from his and NuNews. " I just don't want you to get your hopes up NuNew. It will end up with you getting hurt " he tells him.

           " Who's going to get hurt " he hears someone say so he quickly turns to look at his side. Zee is standing right next to NuNew and him, looking at them both. " N-no one. My friend was just telling me to be carful " NuNew stutters quickly. " Careful of what " Max asked curiously as he joins the conversation. He just rolls his eyes.

           " I'm going to be late for class. See you at lunch NuNew " he says before quickly leaving. He doesn't want to be around the popular kids. Let alone be around NuNew while he's speaking to his crush and idol. Not to mention Max had joined the conversation and he doesn't really feel like hearing Max flirt.

           He walks into his first class, chemistry. He's early so there's no one else in the classroom. So he decides to take out his sketchbook and draw. He loves to draw. Any chance he has to draw he will take it. He finds it incredibly relaxing. Whenever he's stressed, drawing would always help him calm down.

           " What are you drawing there " someone says before they take his sketchbook. So he quickly looks up. Only to see Max looking through all his drawings. " Give it back " he says trying to grab it from him. However Max just holds it high in the air. And with Max being a lot taller then him, he is unable to reach it.

           " What's the magic word " max asked him in a teasing voice. " Just give it back P'Max " he says frustrated as he try's to jump and get the sketchbook back. " Ask nicely and I might give you your sketchbook back " Max says. " Give the kid his sketchbook back Max " he hears Poppy say. " Come on Poppy I'm just teasing a little mouse " Max says. Only making him more frustrated.

           " I'm not a mouse " he says angrily, still trying to reach the sketchbook. " Max he's angry can't you see that " Poppy says before taking the sketchbook and handing it back to him. " Thank you P'Poppy " he says before sitting back down. " You're no fun Poppy " Max says before taking a seat next to him. " What are you doing " he asked immediately. " Sitting, darling. Is there a problem with that " Max asked in a flirty tone of voice.

           He just ignores him before grabbing his things and moving across the classroom to sit down. Which causes Poppy to laugh. Max just stands up before walking over to him. Once again sitting down next to him. " Leave me alone. Why are you bothering me. You don't even know
me " he says angrily. " Because you're cute, little mouse. Feisty but cute " Max says right as the bell rings. So he goes to move again, only to be forced back down by Max. He just lets out a frustrated sigh. Making Max smirk.

           The entire class Max was constantly poking him and trying to get his attention. " What's your name mouse " Max kept asking him. However he just ignores him, writing down notes about their lesson in chemistry. " Alright class that's all for today. There's no homework but study for your test next week. It's worth 80% of your grade " the teacher says. Signifying the end of class. So he quickly packs up his things.

           " You're really not going to tell me your name mouse " Max asked as he laughed. " Go bother someone else P'Max " he says. " See you later mouse " Max said to him as he quickly leaves the class. Why is he starting to pay attention to him. Why won't he just ignore him. These are just a few thoughts that run through his head as he walks towards his next class, art. Which hopefully will help him calm down and relax.

When he enters his art class he sits in the back corner of the room. He always sits here so that no one can see his drawings. He doesn't like people seeing them because it's what he uses to express his feelings. Which is one reason he got so frustrated and angry when Max had take. His sketchbook.

" Alright everyone. Today for art class I want you to express your emotions with your drawing by using oil pastels " the art teacher says. Making him smile. Just what he needed to help calm himself down.

He stands up and walks over to the art station and grabs a thick sheet of paper as well as a box of oil pastels before heading back to his seat. Once he sits down he puts the sheet of paper on the easel. He then takes a deep breath before he lets his emotions control himself as he starts drawing on his sheet of paper.

By the end of class he has drawn two angry looking eyes using red and orange colored pastels. It perfectly depicts his anger and frustration that he'd felt after the situation with Max. " Anger, why are you angry Nat " His teacher asked him. He smiles a little bit before saying " I had a frustrating issue happen. But after drawing this I feel better ". His teacher nods before saying " That's good. Make sure to sign your name before putting it in the turn in bin ". His teacher then leaves to the front of the classroom. Telling everyone to clean up. He then quickly signs his drawing.

He puts on his backpack before grabbing his sheet of paper and box of pastels. He then walks towards the art station, putting the box of oil pastels back. He then heads towards the class turn in bin. He gently places his sheet of paper in the bin before leaving the class as the bell rings. It's now lunch time.
