Zero's POV:
"Man I'm late", I tell myself as I increase my pace .
I woke up 6:50 am that Friday and my mom made me finish all my chores before letting me go to school. I check my time and it's now 7:30 am , school starts in 15 minutes. I look up and see Felix , the principal's son, and his friends approaching me and they are all laughing. I take in a deep breath and sigh "Here we go again".
"Hey loser", says felix
"It's zero", says one of his dumbass friends, and they all start laughing.
"Guys it's not really nice to make fun of the elderly" says felix and they start laughing again like a bunch of sick goats .
I can't stand it, so i try to defend myself "Leave me alone, or else I'll......."
"You'll do what , blue eyes?" Says Felix cutting me short "turn all of us into grey haired losers like you?"
They all burst into hysterics. seriously anything can make these guys laugh.
"It's okay guys ", says another "he is a zero after all ".
"Yeah lets go guys " says felix and they all start walking away. One of them turns around and pushes me down , then goes ahead to catch up with his pack, they all start laughing .
"It could have been worse" I say to myself as I get up and dust myself ,"jerks".
I see them picking on another kid. I would have helped but , school starts in 5.
As I walked to the class , I tought about what Felixx and his group said and they were right. You see I'm a black but, I have grey hairs and my eyes are light blue . So I'm pretty much the oddest kid in this school.
I don't know but maybe if i dyed my hair , and changed my name, maybe Felix will stop bothering me .
The bell goes off . I'm already sitted in my class. It's English class my favorite subject.
Other students troop into class all of them talking. Among them is Kindness Winterfield. Don't tell anyone, but she's my hearts crush, but I don't think she's into "grey-haired" Zero, I hear she's into boys like "do-it-all" Grace Moses, the best boy in our class. Speak of the devil, here he comes now.
Everyone seems to gravitate towards the guy, "hi, Grace love your hair" , "Got a date" blah, blah,blah. He flashes a set of pearly white teeth, and brushes his his hair backwards. And they call me weird, this guy a comb and brush everywhere even to the toilet , no one notices because he's kind of like a celeb in our class.
"Hi kindness" says Grace to you know who , She doesn't but waves back .
He takes his seat right next to mine .
"Hi zero ", He says "Didn't see you yesterday"
"hi perfectson" I reply , "sorry I couldn't make it , I was really busy"
"You should have called"
"Nigga, it's a chess club meeting , no need to get upset I told you I was busy "
"You call a marathon of 'The Walking Dead' busy?"
Hey, how did he know?
"who told you?" I ask
"I called your mom, since you weren't returning my calls"He replies
"You know what I'll make it up to you next week" I promised.
"Fine, next week " he says.
"What's taking Mrs Brown so long?" asks know-it-all Wisdom (she's a geek').
But she was right, Mrs Brown wasn't normally late and everyone noticed it .
