Rythian’s POV
I paced the hall, not knowing where I was going. I was new here and I needed a little help making my way around. I turned a corner bumping into a small blonde haired boy.
“I’m so sorry!” I helped him pick up his books; they were mostly on science things. I never really liked things like that. “Hi I’m Rythian. I’m new here.”
“Oh crap! I’m supposed to be showing you around. Follow me! I’m Duncan by the way.” He grinned, grabbed my wrist and dragged me into a large room. “These are the science labs.” He spread his arms, emphasising the size. “My favourite room by the way! Ok next!” He dragged me down a corridor. “This is Miss Rutherford’s room, she teaches history and geography. Don’t get on the wrong side of her.” He continued to show me around. Art, where I met a girl called Zoey, English, where I met Lewis, Maths, where I met Mr Honeydew, Music, where we met a teacher who we called Sparkles, and more. I liked this boy who was showing me around, he was alright.
“Erm... Duncan, would you like to be my friend?” Duncan turned to me, a large grin on his face.
“Sure! Now we can’t be late for first period.” The bell rang. “Shit! Come on!” He ran down the hall, pushing past people.
“What’s the hurry?”
“We have science; I can’t be late for that!” I sighed and ran ahead of him. “How did you?”
“Guess I’m just fast.” I shrugged and walked in. I sat next to Zoey; Duncan was sat with Lewis.
“Hello class. I see we have a new boy. I’m Mr Ridge and I’m your science teacher. I trust Duncan has shown you around?”
“Yes sir.”
“Good. Now today we will be learning the dangers of red matter.” He looked over to two boys who were sniggering. “Sips! Sjin! It is not funny, you could have destroyed everything!” They lost it; they burst out laughing. Sips fell off his chair, making Sjin cry with laughter. I smiled at them, Zoey sighed. “Sips get up now and Sjin stop encouraging him.” Sips clambered back onto his chair, trying to contain his laughter. Sjin was still sniggering. “Advantages and disadvantages of red matter.” Duncan’s hand shot straight up. “Yes, Duncan.”
“Red matter is extremely dangerous and hard to get hold of; it can only be set off by the equally dangerous anti-matter. It is always growing, swallowing up everything in its path. On the other hand, it does produce a lot of energy that can be used for electricity.”
“Very good Duncan. As per usual.”
“Show off.” Sjin muttered. Duncan heard him, Mr R didn’t though. Sjin pulled his tongue at Duncan, making Sips laugh. I looked at a bored Zoey.
“What’s wrong Zoey? Don’t you like science?” She turned to me, her eyes glowing.
“No, I love science. It’s just Sips and Sjin’s idiotic nature. They can’t stop for more than five minutes.” I smiled. The bell went after an interesting lesson about red matter. Sips and Sjin laughed as they walked out of the door. Duncan and Lewis sighed at their laughter then walked to their lockers. I turned the opposite way with Zoey.
“Rythian, we have art next.” Duncan called after me.
“Art is amazing.” Zoey said, as I turned back around. “You can help me with my project if you want, I need some help.”
“Sure, can you show me what it is now?” She nodded and ran down the hall with me. We reached the art room.
“Over there.” She pointed to a large cut out of a partially painted dragon.
“Wow, what is that?” I walked over and stroked the delicate brush strokes.
“That is the mythical Ender Dragon. It is said she controls these deformed people called Endermen. It is also said she lives in a dark world, full of the Endermen and a stone called Ender stone. Her health lies on large obsidian pillars and to gain full control of the Endermen you must defeat the Ender Dragon. She has an egg but it is unobtainable. The only way of reaching her is through the rare and probably fake End Portal.”
“That’s an amazing story. I love it.” I turned to her. “I would love to help with this. Can I do the wings?”
“Sure. We have ten minutes left before lesson begins, what do you want to do?”
“I want to hear more of this Ender Dragon.” I sat on the floor with Zoey and she explained everything she knew about the Ender Dragon. I sat and listened in awe.
“Hey! Sjin look at the love birds!” Sips laughed as Sjin made kissing noises. Zoey’s eyes filled with anger and she got up. Sips and Sjin bolted.
“You two better run!” I held her back as she went to chase them.
“Leave them; they’re not worth it.” She turned and hugged me. The art teacher walked in.
“Hello. Little early, don’t you think? You’re the new kid? I’m Nilesy, that’s pretty much what you should call me. I’m your art teacher.”
“Hi... Nilesy.” I hesitated, not sure on whether he was being serious or not. He shook my hand.
“I assume you have nothing to do?” He said, checking on all the students’ drawings.
"Actually, Zoey said I could help with hers. Is that ok?” He nodded. Duncan walked in with Lewis, then Sips and Sjin looked inside. They decided the coast was clear and walked in, Zoey saw them and growled. “Zoey, don’t.” I walked her over to her painting and picked up a brush. “Let’s get going.”
