Storm ran into a few walls,while not paying attention while drawing,but luckily she was okay,but I then had to steer her away from walls."Master!Master!"The puppy bounded behind me."What?"I asked in response while looking forward steering Storm away from a post."Are you going to name me?"He asked with huge eyes.I looked down at him."Oh!I hope I can get a cat!"Storm smiled."I think I can do something about that."I replied."What do you mean?"She asked."Oh I am suppose to help the teachers give out a certain pet to a certain student.So I think I can get you a cat."She looked at me and then hugged me."Thank you!"She squealed in delight.
I heard millions of voices coming from down the hall."I think the cafeteria is down here."I said.We both stopped outside of the cafeteria and looked around at all the people."I wonder if they like to draw?"Storm wondered aloud and looked around at all the different people."Well come on!"Storm grabbed my arm and pulled me towards some tables.She stopped at one table with a lot of pretty perfect girls and the jock-like tall boys."Hello!"Storm cheerfully greeted them.They stared at her and then started whispering to each other.Storm sat down on the end seat and smiled."Do you guys like to draw?"She asked .The girls looked at her and then at each other and giggled."Why are you here."The tallest one asked."What?"Storm's eyes had gone wide."Your'e a freak!Only the cool kids can sit here."One of the boys!"Replied."Yeah your'e just a freak,and you can't sit here.Why don't you go over their and sit with the booger picking loser."One of the other girls with lost of makeup laughed and pointed towards a kid that was at the moment picking his nose and wasn't making things any better.Storm opened her mouth but no sound was produced."You don't deserve to hang out with us and art is for losers!"One of the boys buddies laughed and grabbed her sketchbook."Hey!"I screamed,"give that back!"He took one look at the sketch and laughed.His other friends looked over his should and started to laugh as well."Just go die in a hole you idiot!"He screamed and ripped the artwork she was working on in half and threw it to the ground.And tossed the sketchbook into a nearby trashcan.Storm sat there and tears welded up in her eyes.
I felt really bad for Storm.I know I had just met her but she was really nice and friendly and I thought she was cool,unlike the popular kids.I grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her away.She covered her eyes and tears streamed down her face.She sobbed and I picked up the picture they ripped in half and grabbed the sketchbook out of the garbage can and pulled her aside.Their laughs echoed behind us;her sobs increased."It's okay Storm.You know your'e better than them."I comforted her.I looked over and saw Phoenix sitting with Kevin,Scarlet,Paxton,Cassidy,and so on.Phoenix looked at me and sprung up,running at full speed towards me."Oh my gosh!Are you okay?"She asked Storm,but Storm didn't respond. Phoenix gabbed ahold of Storm and pulled her towards the table and sat her down next to her."It's okay."Phoenix mumbled while patting her head.I sat down on the other side and pushed her sketchbook and the ripped paper towards her.Storm cried on,but gripped ahold of her pencil box full of her art supplies."Who are you two."Asked some kid with orange and black glasses."I'm Lily Wolf and this is Storm.""Why is she crying?"He asked."Some kids were mean to her."I replied.
A girl walked up to us and smiled at me.She wore a black hoodie and her awkwardly bright white hair fell down her back like a waterfall."Hello."She said kindly;She reminded me of Paxton,with her wide smile,just a female version of him."Hi?"I mumbled."Could you come with me?"She asked.I stood up and followed her out of the cafeteria."What did you wa..."She jumped into the air and the formed into a teenage male."Sorry about that,but I am kind of uncomfortable talking to girls around other people."He said cheerfully."Oh and my name is Jaxson,and yours?"I stood there confused and opened my mouth but no sound came out."Hey don't worry.I already know your name."I stared at him in confusion."Don't tell me you can read minds as well?"I stepped back."Oh I can't read minds,but I am one of the special students here and I will be in every class with you.I am just like you."He smiled;his white hair fell into his face."Why is your hair white?Why is it that white?It looks neon?But I never seen someone with such white hair like that?Is it natural?"I asked multiple but he just looked at me like he had never heard a human talk before until that day."What a funny question."He giggled."I get that a lot.I got asked that many times at the airport."He smiled,"Yes it is natural.It is a condition I was born with.Want to see it?"He looked at me with huge eyes."See what?"He grabbed my arm and pulled me down the hallway."Where are you taking me?"My short hair flew behind me,as he ran at full speed,which I didn't think was even possible for a human to run at that sort of pace.He ran down the hall and his hair glistened in the overhead lights,and he turned the corner,and ran down another hall."Where are you taking me?"He stopped abruptly,causing me to slam into him."Come on."He pulled me into a small,dusty room which reminded me of a broom closet.
"Welcome to my home!"He gleefully screamed and jumped onto the tiny little bed in the corner."Do you like it?"I looked around and smiled weakly."Yeah.It's cute."I lied.Chains lined the walls and spiders streamed down from a small crack in the ceiling."Why are these in here?"I asked and tugged on the chains."Don't get close....They're hungry.....They are waiting for the taste of blood to hit their tongues......They don't want us here.......I don't want to be here......Help they keep hurting me......Help me......"I looked around at him and asked "Why are they hungry and why are they hurting you?"I asked.Jaxson cocked his head and looked at me."How did you know that?"He asked."You just told me,didn't you?"I looked at him."N...no I didn't.Please!Don't tell anyone.They will get mad,they will hurt you and the ones you love,and don't...."he stopped."Don't what?"He looked down and poked a little spider that had crawled across his foot."Don't go wandering around places you shouldn't be,and especially don't do it at night,and be aware of the...""Beware of the Monde Perdu beast that hides in Night Land."I mumbled under my breath."How did you know?"He asked."Oh ummm,I've heard of it many times before."I lied and smiled weakly once again."Now lets forget about that.What did you want to show me?"He smiled and jumped up off the bed."Now,please don't freak out."He stood and his eyes turned a cloudy white and his hair lifted up behind him like a huge breeze had come out of nowhere,which was not noticeable to me."Now get me upset."His smile was still on his face."But I can't do that,that wouldn't be nice.""Okay.Well I can try doing something to myself."He said and walked towards his bed and slammed his foot into the leg of the bed."Ow!"He screamed and he held his foot in pain.His hair exploded into a neon red color and his eyes turned a deep blood red,and his clothes turned a reddish tint as well.And like it had come,it went.He turned back to a whitish color once again,and smiled sheepishly.
"Cool,right?"He looked at me,waiting for my response."It is very cool."I smiled and walked towards the door."Red is for anger,blue for sadness,green for disgust,yellow is cheerfulness,orange for excitement,purple for fear,pink for in love,grey is for bored,black is for lying,and rainbow is for a mix of emotion."He opened the door and aloud me to go first."Well what is white for?"I asked."He looked up and laughed."White is for the weird and special little me."I rolled my eyes and we headed down the hall towards the cafeteria."Master!"Rung throughout the hall,and the puppy turned a corner and jumped happily,Paxton right behind him."Wiwy!"Paxton screamed and jumped on top of me,dangling from my arm."Who are you?"Paxton sneered threateningly."I am Jaxson.Nice to meet you."Jaxson held out his hand,but Paxton growled and stepped back.Jaxson turned purple and backed up and acted like he was overpowered."Paxton you scared him!"I screamed and pushed Paxton away."But he wants to take you from me!"Paxton started crying and fell to the ground.Storm,Scarlet,Phoenix,and Cassidy swung around the corner and stared at Jaxson,me,and the sobbing mess laying on the floor that was Paxton."Oh my gosh!"Scarlet laughed."What happened?"Phoenix asked."Storm just stood there,not even noticing what was going on,and Cassidy just giggled and ran up to Phoenix.
I walked forward a little bit when Paxton lunged at me and grabbed ahold of my leg,making me fall in the process."PAXTON!"I screamed while kicking him with my free leg and foot.Jaxson jumped on top of him and they both screamed and rolled on the floor;Phoenix grabbed my hood and pulled me up on to my feet."Thanks."I mumbled as I watched them wrestle each other on the floor."She's mine!"Paxton screamed."Well if you want her maybe you shouldn't tackle her to the ground.And yes don't think I didn't see that little one in the auditorium!"Jaxson replied.Everybody else that was at the lunch table ran up to us and stopped in confusion when they saw Paxton and Jaxson screaming at each other as one of them would pull the others hair and punch the other one in response."Oh my gosh!This is the greatest day of my life!"Scarlet yelled as she grabbed her phone and started to record."Oh my!Someone do something!"Two female twins yelled while the other male twins just screamed "Fight!Fight!Fight!""Reece and Cris stop now!They are hurting each other can't you two dingbats see that!"Phoenix yelled while Storm was totally oblivious to the whole fight;Storm had her nose in her sketch book and had escaped to her own little sketching world.
Everyone ran over and pulled the two apart while I snuck away into one of the many hallways to clear my head.The hallway was long and I still didn't know my way around so I turned a corner down a very colorful hallway.A sign hung halfway down the hallway that read in big messy black letters "Disabled students."I was a little confused thinking that they meant the special students that needed a helper that would run them around the place lived and had classrooms in this hallway.It was really small and I couldn't even believe about being stuck in this hallway for a whole year with out my new friends.I slowly walked up to one of the classroom doors and looked in through one of the small windows.Some kids were sitting in wheelchairs while others were laying on the floor or on some of the window seats,talking among themselves.One of the kids that stood out to me the most had long blonde hair,black Beats headphones,a black hoodie,jeans,and stereo shoes.
