Anna, such a beautiful name. "Well, its nice to meet you Mark. Oh, and don't worry about Josh. He's just a jerk who thinks he can walk over everybody."

"Oh. What game are you playing?" What am I doing? I'm breaking rule number three: DONT make any friends! The less friends you have, the less painful the goodbyes are when I move away!

"Only the greatest game in existence. The Legend Of Zelda." She said with awe. "Oh." I could feel my face getting red.

Why do I feel so... weird. "Hey, are you okay?" Anna asked. "Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine."

The ride to school was full of funny coversations, conspiracy theories, and jokes about videogames. Sadly, our fun time was cut short. "Aw! Stupid school! I'll see you later Mark."

My first period was math. Uhhhhhggg! I hate math!

My teacher was a nice woman who's name was Samantha. I like to call my teachers by there first names.

"Class, this is Mark Hollowman. He is a new student here and I hope you can friends with him."

I scanned the room and spotted Anna in the back of the room. She waved at me with a huge smile. I was going to wave back but, someone in the middle row asked. "Why are you wearing your hood indo-"

"It's very simple really." I cut him off. "I wear it... because I want to. Nothing more, nothing less."

Dead silence. Good. My intimidation trick is working. "Well, uh, tell us a little about yourself." Samantha said trying to keep me from being a social outcast.

"I like music, books, and I don't like when people bother me, so please don't bother me unless it is absolutely necessary."

I walked over to an empty seat behind a blonde guy.

Intimidation complete.
