The bell rang, signalling that it was lunch period. Thus far Scott and I had done science and math.

We were walking through the halls again, trying to make it to the cafeteria. I got some glances from people which is getting me really annoyed. It was really hard to just focus on Scott and not these other people.

Scott opened the door to the cafeteria and we walked in. "Follow me." Scott ordered.

"I don't know where to go." I replied and Scott laughed. "Well, you're going to be sitting with me, right? Just follow along."

We walked over to the lineup for the food, which was gigantic.

Scott and I got our food only after the apparently new lunch lady gave us both a lecture on why we shouldn't have tattoos. Clary was waving at us at a table with Scott's pack there, well, except Derek.

We made our way over as discreetly as possibly trying to avoid people staring. It is times like this when I use the invisibility rune. Oh, the joys of high school.

As we were walking, I somehow end up on the floor. There are mashed food I was holding on my shirt, staining it. I groaned. On the first day of school.

I look beside me, and there someone else on the floor covered in food too. "Stiles right?" The guy smirked.

"Uh, yeah." I replied. I got up and held his hand out to help me up. "Thanks."

He didn't look so young, he looked almost older than a senior. Then again, most seniors look older than they are.

"The name's Apollo." He stuck out his hand so I could shake it. I shook it uncomfortably, then continued walk on my way.

He grabbed my arm. I looked down and saw that he had some sort of symbol on his hand, which was glowing as he kept his hand on me. I looked up at him, and then back at the hand. He looked confused, but then his eyes widened and he covered his hand.

"Can I sit with you?" Apollo asked me and Scott longingly. It didn't look like he had any friends really.

"Sure." I answered, Scott looked at me with anger in his eyes.

Apollo smiled and he followed us to our table. Apollo sat beside me on the right and Scott on the left. Erica sat across from me. Because Apollo was there, everyone seemed to be acting awkward.

"Oh, this is Apollo. Apollo this is Erica, Boyd, Isaac, Allison, and Scott." I introduced pointing to everyone when I said there names.

"Hey." Apollo said, and waved around around the table. Just then, his tattoo started to glow again. I was the only one that noticed. He put his hand down quickly.

Apollo cleared his throat. "So, how you liking high school?" He asked me, but I was confused. How did he know it was my first day?

"Um, how did you know it was my first day?" I asked, moving a little further away from him.

"Um," He started, and ran a hand through his hair. "Well, you just looked like you were new."

"Oh..." I responded awkwardly. "Are you gonna eat?" Scott asked me with a concerned tone. I just noticed that didn't even start eating my lunch.

"I'm not hungry." I said. Before Scott could reply, the bell rang.

I took out my phone, when Apollo wasn't looking, I took a photo of his tattoo quickly.

This was going to be a long day.

I kept checking the clock during the last period., which was my least favourite subject, history. 1 more minute until I can finally get out of this hell hole. In my history notebook, I started drawing Apollo's tattoo. It looked so familiar, I've seen it somewhere, but I didn't know where.

Eventually, the annoying bell rang. The teacher told us to read pages 97 to 106 and do questions 1-10, yeah, like I'm going to do homework. I ran out of the classroom with my textbook and notebook.

I packed all my things in my schoolbag and left. When I was about to get into my car, I saw Derek standing beside I'm guessing his car. He must be picking up Isaac. I glanced at me and walked over to him.

"How did it go?" He asked.

"Fine, I guess." I responded. "I have to show you something." This is the time to ask someone about Apollo's tattoo. I took out my phone and showed Derek the photo. "Do you know what this is?"

"Where did you see this?" He questioned.

"There was this guy at the school named Apollo. There was something off about him, I just know it. When he touched me, the tattoo glowed, and when he sat beside us at the table in the cafeteria, when he waved at your pack, it glowed again. I don't know what it means." I babbled instantaneously.

"Woah, slow down." He replied. "We should ask Deaton about this. Meet me at the Animal Clinic at 7 tonight."

"Okay, I'll bring Scott." I stated, He nodded. "I better go, Alec and the others-"

"Yeah yeah, see you later." He waved and walked away. "See you." I went over to my car and waited for Clary.
