To New Beginning's

Chapter One

Starting a new school is never fun. Yeah, most people think it's a start to a new beginning right? Well not exactly for seventeen years old, Kol Mikaelson. See growing up in the Mikaelson family is tough, you're probably thinking a wealthy family, what's not to like right? But behind closed curtains, it's far from great, especially for the youngest Member of the family. There are expectations and reputations to live up to, more so for Kol.

When people hear the name, Mikaelson's they automatically think of a perfect stereotypical family, wealth, the perfect husband and wife, perfect children, perfect life. In the eyes of the society, their family is what everyone wishes theirs was like.

Kol longs to have never had this life, all he ever wanted was to fit in, to not have people wanting to be 'friends' with him just because they knew he was wealthy and like most people, wanted something from him.

All throughout his childhood he got used, he knew no one cared to attempt to get to know the real Kol, who hides beneath all these expectations.

So now Kol stands in front of a new school in a new town, a new beginning, leaving all those dark family secrets behind and most importantly him behind. Kol looks up at the sign at the front entrance of the gates 'Welcome Too Mystic Fall's High School'.

"How original" Kol mumbles a small smile resting on his lips, Kol took the first step through the gates and huffs a deep breath of fresh air "Here's to a new beginning".

Kol saunters through the halls looking for the sign that reads 'Reception', Kol came to a stop in front of the reception and takes a step inside, making his way to the desk where a small petite woman was currently sitting shifting through a few files.

"Um...Excuse me Ma'am I was wondering if you by any chance had my schedule?" Kol asks giving a small smile. The petite woman jumps slightly having not seen Kol walk up. "Sorry, I didn't see you there, Ah...Yes schedule, what's your name, sweetie?" She inquires glancing up, "Oh sorry, I'm Kol, Kol Mikaelson" Kol replies shifting from one foot to another.

"Right, of course, Here you are" She smiles handing over a sheet, which Kol takes with a polite smile "Thank you" Kol replies, turning around to head to his first class, but what he wasn't expecting was to run into what he presumed was a brick wall.

Kol's head shoots up cheeks flushed when he looks directly into the brown eyes of what Kol guesses was one of the school's football players, Kol quickly collects himself, standing up straight and moving to the side to make way for the angry football player.

"My apologies I didn't see you there" Kol quickly mumbles, before scurrying out of the all of a sudden stuffy office, " the first day and you're already making a fool out of yourself Kol, great going" Kol whisper-scolds himself.

The first three lessons went by surprisingly fast, yeah he attracted a bit of attention, but that was to be expected to be the new boy in such a small town where everybody most likely new everyone.

Now for the bit he was mostly dreading lunch, Kol eyes the cafeteria, and he was quite mortified by what he was witnessing. It didn't look like what your regular school cafeteria should be. Instead, it appeared to be more like a zoo.

People were laughing and shouting, some were even fighting and others throwing around what Kol guesses was bits of their lunch, sure there were a few individuals who were sitting down and talking minding their own business and eating like normal human beings.

Kol decides it would be best to sit outside near the bleachers where it was quiet instead. To be honest, this was his first time attending a public school. Kol's parents, Mikael and Esther, had always enrolled him into an expensive high-rank and overpriced private schools, they'd always told him that public schools were not a place a Mikaelson belonged.
