"What the hell is he doing here," George heard someone say. George turned around to see Clay walking with Zak "Oh hey dream, what do you mean?" Nick asked. "This little bitch got me detention." Dream said while glaring at George. "You're the one who hit me first," George defended. "Whatever," Dream said as he sat down next to Nick. Zak followed and sat down.
George stood up dragging Karl with him to go get their food.

-Dream's POV-

I was really pissed off when I saw that new kid. What's his name? Jeff, Geremy, Gavin? Oh that's right, George. As he and Karl walked up to get lunch Sapnap turned to me, "hey, what's up with you and George? I thought you two would be friends to be honest." He said questioningly. "He bumped into me and just was being a jerk the first time we met," I said with a scoff. "I mean you did bump into him, did you at least say sorry?" Sapnap asked with a worried smile. "No, why should I? He was rude to me first," I said, rolling my eyes. "Clay, you know you can be kind of a dick sometimes" Sapnap said with a loud sigh "So? He can apologize first" I argued. "Whatever Clay, be a dick," Sapnap said with a huff as he turned away from me, something tells me he's not going to be talking to me for a while. I sighed as I walked to get my food from the cafeteria line.

I was almost to the line when I heard someone stop me, it was a small blonde boy, he had big blue eyes and an annoying smile, "Ayyy Big D," he said with his annoying voice that instantly rang through my ears, "Hi Tommy," I said with a sigh. "What do you want?" I continued. "I just wanted to see if you'd wanna come to my party tomorrow?" He asked with his annoying grin. "Why not?" I said with a small smile as Tommy jumped up excitedly. "Awesome get there at—" Tommy was Interrupted by a loud crash. I was curious so I walked over to where the sound was coming from leaving Tommy alone.

The first thing I saw as I approached was George on the floor with an angry blonde screaming at him. I recognized the guy, he goes by the name of Punz. I stand there watching the commotion until I see Punz raise his hand to hit George. I may hate him but I don't need him getting his ass beat on his first day.

"Hey Punz," I saw with a smile: "what're you doing?" I question while looking back and forth from him and George. "The new kid spilled his food all over me" he said with a scoff glaring at George "why don't you let me deal with him while you get on with your day." I said with a grin. George looked at me like he was scared I'd hit him again. "Thanks Dream," Punz said as he walked away. "Wow George, already fucked things up on your first day, you're a mess" I said mockingly with a laugh. I went to put my hand out to help him up as he flinched. "I'm not gonna hit you" I said with a scoff. He grabbed my hand as I pulled him to his feet.

George let out a small sign before turning to me, "thanks for saving me there," he said with a look of great fullness. "No problem." I said before walking to get back in line. George followed behind me because he had just thrown all his food all over the blonde. To be completely honest I thought it was hilarious, seeing Punz covered with food. Highlight of my day. Slowly the line dispersed as everyone had gotten their food. I grab my food before heading out after paying. I walk to sit down next to Nick and Zak. George sits down across from me.

-George's POV-

I sat down across from Clay, he had just saved me from getting into a fight on my first day, sure he hit me earlier and now I have detention but I'm really grateful that he saved me from having an even worse first day, bumping into that guy was really embarrassing. Maybe me and Clay would get along after all, I thought. Karl was sitting right next to me and I decided to make small talk, "So Karl, how's your day been?" I asked with a smile. "It's been good!" He replied with a shimmer in his eyes. I love Karl, he's my best friend, I've known him for years and just talking to him makes me so happy. I looked over to Nick seeing him staring at Karl with rose dusted cheeks. 'Ouuuhh, someone's going to be a couple soon' I smirked as I thought to myself.

I knew the lunch bell would ring soon directing us to go to our next classes for the day so I hurried to finish eating, the American food didn't compare to the food from the United Kingdom. Everything here is so disgusting. It's all so sweet and greasy. School food in general tastes like shit but it's better than nothing. I finished my food before the bell rang. My next class was Science with Ms. Denny.

As I walked into the classroom he immediately met eyes with Punz, he glared at me as I walked to sit at the only open seat, which just happened to be right next to Clay. I sat down as I pulled out my notebook to draw. As I pulled it out Clay tapped my shoulder "what's that?" Clay asked with confusion. "I like to draw, so it's my sketchbook" I answered, and suddenly Clay snatched it from my hands as I tried to grab it back. He stood up holding it above my head while flipping throughout the pages in the sketchbook. After a little while of taunting me with the book he finally gave my back to me as I sat down and put it back in my bag while looking back at him with a glare. He just responded with a laugh.

The assignment today was really hard, I almost didn't finish in time. I remember blanking out for most of the class period, I'm used to daydreaming. It's something I can't control, even though I try my best to control it. Suddenly I heard someone screaming at me and snapping their fingers in my face. "George, earth to George," Clay yelled. "Sorry, I zoned out," George said. The bell rang as I stood to leave, remembering I have after school detention. I headed to room 109 with Mr. Traffis. This has been a long day, I thought to myself, I entered the room and took a seat next to a girl, she seemed nice.

"What's your name," She asked me, "George, and you?" I questioned. "Niki, it's nice to meet ya!"  she said with a smile. "What're you in for?" She asked me. "Fighting in class, Clay was being a dick" I said with a giggle. We both started to laugh. "Why are you here?" I asked "I walked out of the classroom because the teacher wouldn't let me use the bathroom" she said. "Why would they give you detention for that, that's stupid" I said with a small laugh. "I know right?" She said with a grin.

"Alright kids, no phones, no alcohol, and no talking" Mr. Traffis said with a loud sigh before walking back to his seat. Me and Niki decided to pass notes since we weren't allowed to talk. We just talked about school, I'm actually glad I got detention because I met Niki, she's really cool and pretty. I think we're gonna be great friends.

Then there's yelling and fighting, lovely. Clay's picking a fight with some blonde haired boy. Mr. Traffis stands up to stop it before it becomes a fight but then there's a loud crash as a chair is thrown. Everything goes fuzzy before everything went black.
