Chapter 2: Stand Out

Calli: Hello again, i'm back. I'll be narrating the duration of this chapter as this is my study hall period. My cousin Nathaniel and his little rabbit have gone off to english. Nate walked as Elijah ran, poor Eli was being chased by one of the jocks. Lets clarify this situation, Jack is an idiot, a scumbag, and that undercut is clearly not working for him. Jack and Elijah used to be friends in elementary school, that was until Elijah had come out to him. That is when everything changed. Oh look, there's Elijah now.

~Elijah~

I ran through the quad doors and slammed into the north wing wall. Not only did I bang my already messed up knee again, but I also banged my right funny bone, WHICH ISN'T FUNNY! I saw students faces pass as I ran down the hall and to the right. The hall wasn't entirely empty, but it was empty enough for me to run through.

"WHY ARE YOU RUNNING RUNT!" Jack yelled.

I could hear him coming closer and closer, I started loosing my breath. Then suddenly I felt a hand grab me and pull me to the side. They pulled me into a room that appeared to be a small janitor's closet.

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO!" Jack yelled as he passed the room.

I checked my watches, two minutes before class started.

"Are you okay?" A voice said to me as I began to walk out of the closet.

"Yeah! Thank you for doing that. Who are you?" I turned around to see that it was another jock. I quickly ran out of the room with fear, I was afraid that it was one of Jack's friends trying to capture me and lead me to Jack. I somehow avoided both of them on the way to class. I finally made my way to the classroom door and slammed it behind me.

"Elijah are you okay?" I heard a voice say as I ran towards my desk. It was Emmett; he always sat in the desk on the right of mine. I nodded my head as I took my seat whilst trying to catch my breath. We sat in the front row with me being dead center. My father always wanted to make sure I was paying attention in his class.

"What happened to your knee?" Another approaching voice said.

I looked up to see my friend Electra Rose taking the seat to my left. Her curled blond hair with neon hair dye gently fell off of her bare pale shoulders. I looked down to see that I still had the handkerchief wrapped around my knee.

"I kinda fell down the stairs on the way to the quad, but someone helped me and wrapped it up." I explained.

"Who is this someone?" Another one of my friends said as he took the seat behind me.

"His name is Nathaniel, he's an old friend of mine." I said turning to him. Mason Beaumont was always the protective one in our friend group. His glasses sat on the bridge of his nose as he pushed his dyed banana yellow hair away from his golden brown eyes. We called our friend group E cubed plus Mason. Mason is the only one in our group without and "E" in his name.

We all met in Crazy Eights Elementary School. We had all bonded with our parents being some of the most important figures of Wonderland. Emmett Liddell who is the son of Alice Liddell (our Principal), Electra Rose who is the daughter of Aurora Rose (our Assistant Principal), and Mason Beaumont who is the eldest child of Belle and Adam Beaumont (our School President). But then there was me, Elijah Galvin son of Manuel Galvin, the white rabbit. I couldn't even compare to my peers around me.

The door opened, Nathaniel had entered the room, he took the seat at the right of Mason and behind Emmet.

"Why did you run off back there bud?" Nathaniel said with his concerning, brown, doh eyes.

The door opened again and Jack Clubs entered. He took the seat at the very last seat of my row.

"Because of him." I said to Nathaniel in a shaky whisper.
