Dawn
   Great... Time to meet the new people who'll use me as a punching bag.
   It's the first day of high school and I'm already hating it. I dressed in my regular black jeans with a clean white shirt. Eh... I didn't care. Sweater? Yeah... Didn't want people questioning me about the scars... No shut up... Don't do this to yourself, maybe it won't be that bad. I tried to not think about it anymore. Crap... 7:19... I'm gonna be late.
~*~
I actually made it and with 15 minutes to spare. Our first period class didn't start until 8:00. I was able to get my class schedule.
Schedule:
•Period 1-AP World History. No... Why. History has to be the worst subject ever.
•Period 2-AP English. Seriously, do they hate me that much? And it's in the morning... Frick. I'll be falling asleep for sure.
•Period 3-Honors Chemistry. Huh, not that bad. I hope it's not too bad.
•Period 4-Computer Science. YES! Finally a break. The one class I am actually looking forward to.
•Period 5- Pre-Calculus. Man... I just did this class. Too bad I'm not allowed into the AP class until next year. Whatever, I'll use it as my break time.
•Period 6- Swim. Brandon...
   AP were college level classes that could possibly get me college credits. I was one on the few who got AP classes since they were only allowed for 10th graders.
   Well my schedule went from holy-shit-I'm-actually-gonna-fall-asleep-everyday-in-this-class to huh-I-think-I-can-survive.
Thud! Uh I think I bumped into some guy. It's my first day and I was already annoy people.
"I'm so sorry!" I heard him say as he kept running by. He didn't even check to see if I was fine. Well he was being rude. But I'm not surprised... the way he was dressed. Typical bad boy. Oh well.
Man... I can't wait to get out of this hell hole.

Mikah
Beep...beep...beep...
Shit...6:30. I need to get up... I hated this. A new school. Same old shitty students. I dressed as quickly as I could. I changed into a black long sleeve, black jeans, and combat boots. I should really get a new pair of shoes. Maybe but I still need to save up for Alex and Isabella. I was planning to buy the girls some new clothes since they outgrew their old clothes months ago. But I couldn't get a job back then and the bastard would spend all his money on booze and women.
"Morning, sleepy heads." I said as I saw Alex and Isabella. This is Alex's last year in middle school and Isabella's first year in middle school. Isabella was excited to get to be with her older sister but Alex not so much.
"So Alex you know the plan. Protect Izzy at all cost. And if some guy comes near him, you kick his ass for me. Okay?" I laughed.
"Hey...I told you to stop calling me Izzy!" Isabella pouted. "I'm grown up now. Ya know I'm about to be 13 soon. Hmm... And also your not suppose to say 'ass'. You know the rule." She's right, ya know.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Here...and a little more. I can't make anything today but here's something for lunch." I said as I handed them a five dollar bill each.
"Woah...thank you, big brother!" Isabella responded.
"Hey...thanks." Alex said. Its hard on us financially and Alex knew. She was growing up and realizing what our situation was. But I try my best to keep them from worrying.
"I promise I'll make breakfast and lunch for tomorrow. Oh also I'll be picking you up today guys so I'll be at your school around 3."
"Um... Mikah... It's 7 am." Izzy and Alex said. Crap... today is not my day. I can't make the girls late either.
"Hurry up and finish you cereal. After that wash the dishes and your teeth. Come on...hurry you two. I don't want you guys to be late." I hurried them. Their school is about 20 minutes away but we are gonna cut it pretty close to the time. And I still had to get to my school which closes the gates at 7:50 and I needed to get my class schedule. Crud... I still need to brush my teeth and get my stuff. Oh fuck...I almost forgot my army jacket. Damn... today is gonna be a long day.
~*~
I was able to get in before the front gates closed. Phew... barely! Oh...frick. My class schedule!!! And that's when I started running. I need to wake up earlier. I can't just be lat-
Thud! I felt my shoulder bump into someone.
"I'm so sorry..." I yelled. I was running late to get my schedule. I couldn't stop to ask if he was okay. Doesn't matter... you need to hurry!
~*~
After getting a few scowls from the administrators, I was able to get my schedule.
Schedule:
•Period 1- English. Eh...
•Period 2- Biology. Eh.
•Period 3- World History. Crud...torture already.
•Period 4- AP Computer Science. Well at least it's not too bad.
•Period 5- Pre Calculus. SHIT! What the hell?! I'm so screwed...
•Period 6- Swim. What the fuck...I never said anything about swim. This is a mistake.
Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to go to the office and change that mistake. Guess I'll have to wait until after school. Here we go...
~*~
Most of classes were okay. Boring but okay. History is the class I can't stand. The teacher has the most annoying, high pitched voice you'll ever hear. I have no idea if I'll be able to survive her lectures.
   Lunch had been the same as always. I would go to the usual place...the library. It was the only place I can find comfort. For some weird reason books always made me feel better.
   Ring!
Shit...math. I have no idea why I'm in Pre Calculus. I was barely able to pass algebra.
~*~
   I got to the class a bit early so I could choose any seat. I hurried to sit in the back row. Fortunately this is the smart people class so most of the kids wanted to sit in front to be the teachers pet.
"Ah... I'm... sorry I'm late...I couldn't find this class and... I accidentally went to another room." Said a voice. He sounded out breathe. Poor kid.
   Hmm...wait...crap! Isn't that the kid I accidentally crashed into this morning? I couldn't believe we have the same class together. He walk over to sit next to me. I kinda feel bad because I didn't even get to say sorry properly. Now that I really looked at him he wasn't as scrawny as I remember. He was a bit short, maybe 5'4 or 5'5 at best, had some really sick looking eyes, as he hadn't slept in a while, and was quite pale.
   "Good morning students! How is the first day going?" On thank god she doesn't have that high pitch bitchy voice "I will be you teacher for this class and you can call me Ms. Gustafson. I'm sure this cl- huh? Is that you Dawn? Hey, your taking my class?" She seemed to be looking at the guy next to me. Huh? That was weird...he knows a teacher.
   "Uh... hi Sara- erm sorry I meant Ms. Gustafson!" He seemed embarrassed. Well, there are a bunch of students whispering who the new guy was and how he knew the teacher.
   "Class...this is Dawn. He is an excellent student and is quite intelligent. If anyone needs help Dawn will be able to answer any questions. Treat him well because he will be this schools pride one day." Uff... The moment I heard that, I could feel all the teacher-pets-wanna-be's just turn that guy into their enemy.
   "Crap..." I could hear him whisper to himself.
   "Erm...are you okay?" I asked. I just really felt like talking him 'cuz I still felt bad about the morning accident.
   "Oh...um...it's fine. I may have just made some new friends." He said sarcastically. 
   "Haha...erm...so um...sorry about what happened in the morning. I was in a rush and I still hadn't gotten my schedule. So um sorry about that." I was feeling really anxious. Why was I anxious?
   "Ha that's fine. I've been through worse." Huh...I couldn't tell if he was joking or being serious.
   "Oh well my names Mikah Michelson...erm yours?"
   "Uh um... my names Dawn...Dawn Stark." OH SHIT!
   "Stark...As in Stark cooperation?!"
   "...eh... yeah. My dad founded it. But it's no big deal. Erm... Can we not talk about it, please?" NO BIG DEAL! What? Was he really trying to be humble about it? Stark corporation is every computer geeks dream job. They always had the newest phones, the fastest running computers, and they even had the best security systems. But now that I look at him clearly, you can tell he has money. I mean his shirt was clean and white, with no wrinkles, and his shoes looked like he hadn't worn them, they were band new. Pff...he was probably some spoiled, rich kid. After that I kinda stop talking to him. I pretended to pay attention to the lesson. My head kept telling me to stay away from him. He is rich and you're poor. You guys can't be friends. Just leave the kid alone.
   "Huh...oh um here, take a test and pass it back." I said as I handed him the test. The test is pretty much like the final test like we'll be doing at the end of the year. It's suppose to help teachers figure out where you are at math wise. Nobody ever passes this test 'cuz it's on stuff we haven't learned. It was a total waste of time.
   "Oh erm...I'm good. I don't need to take it." What the hell? So apart from being a spoiled white kid, he's also a smart ass and thinks he's all that.
   "Dude just take it...the teacher will wonder why you didn't do it and you'll get in trouble." I could really care less if he was smart or not. He was at school and he need to do the work just like everyone else.
   "Oh erm...okay, I guess" he said.
   15 minutes later and everyone heard him stand up. He handed his test to the teacher. What the fuck?! He was already done...I'm sure he bull shitted it. Nobody could ever finish it that fast.
   Ms. Gustafson was already grading papers and his was the first. Hm... Now will know if he's as smart as he says. Probably not. That guy couldn't have done that in only 15 minutes.
   "Class... I'm happy to say we have our first A of the semester!" Everyone was looking around. What? An A? And on this test?! "Dawn... You got all of them right, congratulations! But you got a 10 point deduction...erm...dear, remember to put you name on your paper. I'll be forgiving because it's the first time but please remember to write it next time." Everyone started laughing...who the hell forgets there name and who the hell passes this test. The poor guy was so embarrassed and you can see the red on his pale face.
   "Now class... It's the first day, I'm sure you guys have having a hard time getting used to being in school. Dawn is just a bit tired and so he forgot. It's fine, it's not the end of the world.
   Ring!
   Oh well... Math wasn't too bad today.
~*~
Crud...Can't believe I'm running late again.
   I'd gone to the restroom and got a bit lost on the way. I rushed in to the class.
Shit...only one seat open. I rushed to get the seat.
   "Morning, class. I'm Mr. Finch and I'll be you Computer Programming teacher. So we'll start right away. I'm sure most of you have done this before, right? So turn on your computers, log in and wait for further instructions." Yes... Finally a class I didn't hate.
   I turned on my computer. Hm... What the hell is he doing? The nerd...what's his name, erm Dawn, just sat there looking at the screen.
   "Ya know, that ain't gonna turn itself own." I said jokingly
   "Erm...haha yeah I know..." Dawn said nervously. Well then press the fricking button! A minute passed by and he was still sitting there like an idiot. Wait... Don't tell me he can't...
   "Umm... You just press that button."
   "Oh um... Thanks... I'm not really use to being on computers." What! The son of the Star Corporation CAN'T TURN ON A COMPUTER! Oh man... he is seriously gonna have a hard time in this class.
