Before the lost boy

1

New school, new house. New reputation? Just a new everything. My parents though it would be best for us to start over because of Ethan.

Never going to talk about him to anyone at this school. The last thing I need is to break into tears in front of someone. It's just me, walking to my new school. They want me early at the office so they can give me a tour of the school.

I need to at least make one friend here. I don't like walking, but what can I do about it? I put my hands in my pocket of my hoodie.

I walk into the school office. Did I mention I'm a school transfer so, I'm pretty much alone. "Good morning, name?" The lady at the front desk ask.

"Good morning, Blaze Bowers." I say. She types on her computer and hands me a piece of paper. " Transfer, welcome to the school, this is your schedule, wait here we'll get someone to show you around." She says and gets the phone and ask for someone, that will show me around.

A guy that looks around my age, brown hair, hazel eyes, walks in. He walks over to me. "Are you Blaze?" He ask. Let me try to make a good impression and not embarrass myself.

"Yeah, I'm Blaze." I say. I assume he's going to show me around, right? "Hi, I'm Adam, I'm going to show you around the school." He says and puts out his hand for me to shake.

"Hi." I say and shake his hand. We go into the hall ways which are pretty wide. "So why'd you transfer here." He ask me. Well I'm not going to say because of Ethan. Try not think about that right now.

"Just a fresh start." I say. I wasn't lying. "But this school?" He says jokingly. I laugh. He's so easy to talk to. "Yes, this school, I didn't chose it. But I guess it's good enough." I say.

"Well, I hope you like it, so obviously this is our hall ways. I will show you your locker and the only reason why I know were it is, is because I am the one that usually shows around the school to new students and I am required to show it to you, so don't worry, I'm not a stalker." He says. I love this guy! He so easy to talk to and he's funny.

"I wouldn't take you for a stalker, but that's great because I don't think I will find it without you." I say. Then he stops and says. "Well, this is your locker." He says pointing to a red locker. There is a pattern of red, blue, and white lockers."Mine is actually across from yours, so we're not that for away from each other" He says pointing across from mine. I notice that there is very little people right now.

"Your passcode is at the bottom of your paper." He says. I look at the bottom of my paper and see numbers that say 24 23 81.So Adam showed me most of the school and now that there is more people here, he is explaining who everyone is.

"So that's Mitch, he's obsessed with the hunger games so don't talk shit about it front of him and he wont threaten to kill you." Adam says. He's a short kid, black hair and he has freckles. I laugh, "Sure. I don't really have anything bad to say about the Hunger Games anyway." I say.

"That's Jack and his crew, you know your typical jock, plays football, is a jerk. Just don't talk shit to him, and try your best to avoid him. Since it's your first day and he might figure that out, he might start messing with you a little bit to see how vulnerable you are." He says. Jack is tall, chocolate hair, of course wearing a letterman jacket that is white and blue.

"Ok, well fuck. Not looking forward to that." I say. I look back at Jack WHO IS STARTING RIGHT AT ME. We make eye contact and I quickly look away. "And that's, Gabby. Gabby! Come over here!" He yells. She comes over to us. She has short, black hair with red lowlights. she's just a bit shorter than Adam.

"Oh, dude, is this the transfer?" She ask Adam. How many people already know I'm a transfer? "Yup." He says.

"Hi, I'm Gabby, obviously because Adam yelled my name." She says and puts her hand out for me to shake. I shake it. "Hi, I'm Blaze and how many people know already know I'm a transfer?" I ask. If Jack already knows then, I don't know. I just don't want to deal with that.

"I don't know I just heard someone in Jacks crew saying it, if you know who he is. Anyway I know what Adam is usually one to give tours and I've never seen you here before." She says. Fuck! He knows.

"Shit! He was starting at me too and we made eye contact and stuff." I say. "Be careful you look like an easy target. Don't take it offensive." She says. I give out a nervous laugh. "Great." I say sarcastically. "Not offended, I was an easy target." I say

Beeeeeeep

Well that's the bell. "Well, that the bell, it was nice meeting you guys." I say. "You too." They say. First period. okay.

I walk into class just a couple of people. We have five minutes to make it to our classes each passing period. I sit on the side middle of the classroom.

I mess with my pencil as I wait for class to start. "Your the transfer right?" I hear and look up and see that it is Jack. Fuck. We have first period together and he's talking to me.

"Yeah." I say trying not to sound nervous. "What's your name?" He ask immediately. "Blaze, I'm guessing your Jack." I say. He smirks. "Wow, you already know how I am." Jack says. I am dieing inside right know. I'm pretty sure everyone knows who he is.

"I'm guessing a lot of people do." I say. I really don't know what to say to him. "Yeah." He says. I look down at my pencil and start messing with it again.

I look up agian to see his crew surrounding me. My fucking luck! his whole damn crew is in my first fucking period. Just don't whimper, Don't whimper, don't whimper, I tell my self.

"His name is Blaze." Jack says. "What a weird name." One person says. My fucking first day and first time talking to them and there just going to attack me.

"Yeah, what a weirdo." Another one says. Honestly I'm not offended by that. I should just try getting up or something. I know this might not end well, even though class starts in a couple of minutes.

So I try getting up but one of them pushes me back into my seat. "Where do you think your going?" The one that pushed me says. From that sentence I can tell that there not going to leave me alone and this might be a constant thing for the rest of the year.

"The bathroom." I say. Stupid excuse, but what am I supposed to say? "But, glass is about to start." Another one says. There is about 5 to 6 people surrounding me. I had to deal with people like this and I was able to get them away from me, but this is a group. This is different.

Should I even try getting up again? "Yeah, I guess that's true." I say. Then the one on the right side pushes me. I sight. "Ok. here we go again." I mumble to myself. Out numbered by a group, not my first time. But it's not like it happened every day and for here I hope it doesn't.

"What did you say?" Jack says grabbing my shirt. WTF dude! I didn't do anything!

"Jack! that unacceptable behavior, detention in my class after school." The teacher says. The teacher saw this. Jack lets go of me gives me a death glare. All eyes are on us.

I am so dead. Jack gets up sits BEHIND ME. I look back at him and he gives me a death stare. Fuuuuuuck.

Near the end of glass a note is passed to me. I open it and it says 'your dead'

Well. That's from Jack. Anyway, the my Teachers name is Mr. Able. He's really strict. This is English class and I usually do good in English so I hope for the best.
