Part 1 .....Life Sucks.....

Hi, my name is Cyrex Dark and I am a 16 year old kid I go to North High School. I am a sophomore I don't have many friends and many people refer to me as being an emo which I have gotten used to. Well anyways let me explain to you my story...

It was the first day of school and I had the worst summer I was working with my dad the whole time and only got Sundays off which was pretty bad, I was happy to be in school because at least I got Saturday off as well. I went up to the office and asked for my schedule once I got it I headed towards class but on the way there Derek, a bully from last year pushed me and I fell, I got mad of course and used all my strength to try to push him back but barely pushed him. Even if my push wasn't affective Derek the bully punched me in the ribs which hurt a lot! I put my hand on the area where he had punched me and I turned around a bit as if I was leaving but I swung my hand at him and back hand slapped him so hard that he lost balance and almost fell.. afterwards I realized this was a mistake because his bulk hit me seconds later like a freight train. He slammed me with his fist and it fell with the force of a ton of bricks. As he swung for another hit someone pushed him off of me which only angered Derek more. He turned around and threw a barrage of punches at the kid who seemed to be the same age as me. I assumed he was new because I hadn't seen him the year before. The kid was dodging the hits like nothing, annoyed, he punched Derek on the nose then kicked him on the leg which made Derek fall to the ground. The kid moved so fast as if I was watching lightning hit Derek and it was amazing. The kid got on top of Derek and punched him once on the jaw then Derek was just in the fetal position, he got off of him and helped me up. He asked if I was alright and I said yes, he asked me what my class was and it was English he had the same class with me coincidentaly so he went with me he told me his name was Zerin he was also 16. He had my type of style, "emo", but he was friendly, which I wasn't because I was somewhat annoyed of most people. When we entered class we sat next to each other because the seats were paired, he told me that he was new to my school he said that we should be friends and I agreed seeing as I barely talked to anyone. At the start of class I could tell a lot of girl liked him they looked at him and smiled. As class ended we walked out and were surrounded by girls all wanting to speak with him but he shooed them away and said if they wished to speak to him one at a time later because he was with me.  We shared a couple of classes together including P.E. as we went into the gym the teacher was talking about what we would be doing. Zerin asked me if I ever wished that I had more friends and if I would like it better if I had more good looks seeing as how girls didn't really see me as an acceptable guy. Obviously I said yes because I really didn't like being the way that I was, scrawny, ugly and weak. All he said was,"oh cool", when class ended we left and went our separate ways because I had Biology and he had Math. The class felt like it was hours long, 55 minutes later I headed towards my History class.  Zerin was in there, he then greeted me with a handshake and a smile, once class ended we went to lunch, while walking towards the cafeteria Derek and a group of his friends cornered us. Zerin shoved me out of the way and as soon as he did Derek and his friends assaulted Zerin. With so much skill and speed Zerin took all of them down swifltly, but with no mercy, to the point where some of them were crying and apologizing I had a feeling of nostalgia with a similar event that happened just hours ago. I asked him how he was so good at fighting while we were eating and he said it was just natural which I didn't believe because anyone with that much skill would most likely have been taught to fight like that. The next two classes I didn't have with Zerin. School ended with the bell so i began my long trek home, I was walking towards the gate of the school  Zerin approached me and asked to accompany me, walking together because he lived a few streets from my house which was good for me because I always wanted a friend. We went to our separate homes and later Zerin went to my house I introduced him to my family they all liked him because he was nice and friendly he told me he wasn't going to school the next day because he was still moving stuff to his new house, I said okay and he left at around 7:30 pm. The next day I didn't want to go to school because it was so boring but I got up and walked to school I went to my first classes and then lunch came. Derek beat me up with a feeling of vengeance that he had gained from the beating he recieved yesterday. Since Zerin wasn't there to protect me I got the crap beaten out of me. The rest of the classes passed with a dull pain all over my body, I walked home alone that day. Zerin went to my house again and saw my bruises he said he was sorry for not being there to help me I said it was alright but I could tell it was eating at him.
