As I walked down the aisle past my classmates, mostly white humans or Aivels, to the back and sat down I heard some of the obnoxious human girls who sit in front of me talk about a new student. It would probably be useful to know that we are only a week into classes. Just as I sat down the human teacher, a nice Chinese man, walked in wearing a white suit and a white tie, stood behind his desk, and said, "You can come in Blake Kaye."

A black cat Aivel walked in. I almost screamed for joy not only were his cat ears and crew-cut hair black but he had dark skin and was wearing a black hoodie and dark pants plus black tennis shoes. The jerks in front of me however decided to start whispering to each other about how cute he is and about how the would totally flirt with him if he wasn't an Aivel.

"Would you like to tell us a little about yourself Blake." the teacher asked with a smile.

"no i would not. you would probably not find my past interesting anyway.", the new student announced in a monotone voice. He then proceeded to take the seat right in front of the jerks. As class started the annoyances started whispering about how to prank him. This maddened me because they "pranked" me on my first day of class. Their idea of "pranking" mostly consists of beating up the new Aivels, if they can't do this themselves they force the human boys to do it for them, and destroying the poor students homework. The worst part is you can't complain to the principal because he is the lead brats dad. Sadly there was nothing I could do except warn him after class.

When class was done I followed him until we were out of earshot. "Hey Blake, you should probably stay out of everyone's way they're going to gang up on you and beat you up!"

"it really does not matter if i do they will try anyway." Blake said glumly.

"Won't your parents be worried if you come home injured?", I exclaimed.

"i do not have parents.", he said maintaining his glum attitude, "but i do have a master."

"Oh! I'm sorry about that. But wouldn't he be worried?"

"no. now leave.", he said forcefully. If this were some cheesy book I would probably be saying something like 'But you can't just let them beat you up like that then they will realise that you won't fight back and keep doing it', but this isn't a book,cheesy or not, so I'm not going to say anything of the sort, I'm just going to walk away. It would be nice if I could say I didn't see him again but I did... at the next class.

I hadn't planned to talk to him again, but we were partners in chemistry. The rest of the day went pretty much the same he either sat next to me or we were partnered up. At the end of the day I started walking home. My mom didn't pick me up because she had a doctor's appointment. which she had to reschedule at the last minute it was supposed to be tomorrow but last night caused some problems to our schedule. As I was walking home a felt a sting on my neck. At first I thought it was just a mosquito bite so I reached my hand back to slap it, but my hand came across a dart. Confused I pulled it out and started examining it. That's when the ground started rising and blackness was on the fringe my vision. As the blackness overcame my vision I felt myself being picked up. I could tell by the size of the hands that he couldn't be older than me. After realizing this I blacked out.
