My brother wiggled and squirmed in my arms, his boney elbows dug deep in my knees and meatless legs wrapped around my neck, "OI! REN!" He screamed, voice angry and aggressive, my grip tightened as he yelled louder, "I GIVE UP!" I loosened my grip, at the age of nine and he still brags about being 'stronger' than me, although it always ends up in his defeat... He puffed and cried as he crawled away from me, "I'll beat you next time..." He mumbled as I laughed at his determination, "Good luck!" A huge grin spread across my face as I scoffed down the meal that had been rudely interrupted... A cold slice of bacon excited my taste buds and a runny egg easily melted in my mouth, this is what I call a meal!
"Ren! You should go now!" My mothers' husky voice boomed, it frightens me how deep her voice is compared to her looks! My mother is beautiful and young-looking for a 40 year-old but her voice is that of an 60 year-old man!
I stuffed my bag full of the useless crap I have to bring to school, I ran down the stairs immediately, calling back as I went, "I'm Off!" As I passed my mum in the kitchen she smiled, "Have a nice day!"
"Promise!" I waved my hand, my only reply was my brother, sticking out his tongue And he pushed past me...

I trudged aimlessly, kicking the marble floor as I directed for HELL, "Aidan... Why do we have school?"
My buddy, Aidan smiled, smacking my back, "it's the adults way of torturing us!" He jokingly laughed at my unusual lack of enthusiasm, "why the long face?"
I groaned, opening the door to the classroom, " I feel like something will happen, today... It's the gut feeling, Ye' know?" We separated ways as I sat on the opposite side of the room, the teach thought it would be best if we were separated, lousy bastard...
The room was littered with noise, several guys were throwing aeroplanes and the girls wouldn't stop giggling, I felt their usual gazes eying me up and down. I turned to them, smiling and waving, to be polite, of course! The girls sighed and waved back, hopelessly blushing...I don't get girls...why do they like me?
The sound of the door opening interrupted the class' nonsense, the teacher stalked into the room, resting behind the desk in front of the classroom, "Class, we have a new student..." His voice sounded dull and unamused, Teach waved his hand as a girl walked in. "This is Janice, be nice"

The girl was the owner of long, red hair, covering her face and looking as if it had been dyed by blood, she was tall, about my height and stood with a perfect posture, her uniform wasn't modified like the other girls...she wore everything modestly, she wore no jewellery  or makeup...And her face had less expression than a brick, giving off a unnatural vibe...what a...an interesting  girl...
"Take the seat over there" the teacher pointed to an empty seat in the back, but quickly turned, picking up a whiteboard marker and beginning to write.
I couldn't help but let my eyes follow her to her seat, she kept her composure even as she noticed my stare, she glared at me then at the desk, holding her head down, her eyes an almost white grey darted around tthe room uncertainly, I want to be friends with this girl...Janice, I will break that expression into a million pieces to see that smile...
I kept my gaze on her as the girls attempted friendship, Janice ignored them, as if they didn't exist...rising from her seat, she left the classroom, and the girls in a bitchy mood.

Voices around us giggled and chartered, everyone was loud and excited, their conversations ranging from school to the mall, as I began to break our silence Aidan tapped my shoulder as if he meant to punch me, quickly laughing his ' I have a terrible idea ' laugh, "Dude, that's that Janice girl!" I faced forward, towards the lunch tables, she had a table to her self and was reading as she rose from her seat, slowly heading to our direction. With a nose stuck in a book, she had great coordination, dodging sprinting students and the crowds, " I dare you to lift her skirt " Aidan was giggling like a little school girl, he pushed me towards Janice before offering me with a cash bribe, "50 bucks"
I shook the hand he stuck out and ran towards her, my movements as cat-like as possible, I reached out my hand and found myself paralysed in my tracks as my target had stopped moving. Janice tucked her book away in her messenger and turned, catching me in the act, not a muscle in her face moved and no shits were given, my hand was slapped in a blur, "Don't" a voice stern and quiet resounded in my ears, in a trail of tapping shoes she walked away...
Interesting...

When I came to my senses I realised I had a crowd, students were watching in awe as my deadly stunt had failed miserably...A couple of classmates started Snickering, I heard someone yell, "Nice try, Ren!" I laughed alongside them, "maybe next time!" Another screamed.

I watched her through the lessons, learning her every move, she never smiled, she rejected all means of the classmates being friendly, everyone started to ignore her as she did them...but her eyes didn't seem uncertain anymore, they looked content and complete...
At lunch I decided to initiate the first attack, she changed her spot and began eating on the school roof, near the greenhouse.
I tiptoed towards her, stopping as she looked up, " Let me sit with you! " I smiled, with this deadly weapon of mine I have slaughtered countless beasts, from the seducing succubi to the finned Naga, " I want to be friends!"

But my lady-charm failed...

She glared, her gaze able to pierce icy spears through your stomach, "why?"
She paused to close a book, "so you have all-day access to my skirt? No thanks" she got up, swinging her bag on her shoulder and book against her chest, her eyes met with mine as she stood.
"It's not like that..." I shook my head, "I just want to get to know you...that was a dare, sorry!" I dug through my pocket and revealed a 50-dollar bill from Monday, I didn't wash my jeans..."I'll give you the money I earned for trying that!"
She shook her head lightly, for someone who was tall and almost scary she was gentle, "no"
I pushed, forcing the money into her bag, "go ahead!"
"..." She opened her mouth to let out nothing, fetching for the bill I forced on her, I swear I caught the corner of her lips move..."thankyou" as she went pass me she grabbed my hand, returning the money as she left, "...but I don't need it..."
I ran after her, hastily stepping down the stairs, as I attempted to catch up to Janice I called, "Yo' Janice, can I be friends with you?"
She never turned or looked back, but I saw a thumb stick out, facing upwards...
