What's Behind the Mask? ~A Cryatioc Fan Fiction~

The New Kid

Noah's P.O.V.

It was a normal monday and I was sitting in my class. We were working an assignment when a short boy walks in holding his schedule in his hand. He had some sort of mask on his face. Maybe he is too scared to show the world his face? Is he ugly? So many questions ran through my mind as I stare at the boy. The Whole class looks at him when the teacher tells us that we have a new student. "Class this is our new student he will be joining us today and forevermore. What is your name sweetie?" The weird boy looks around the room but you can't really see his face so you don't know if he is nervous or not. His posture sure does state that he is nervous though. He is repeatedly tapping his foot and his hands are cupped in front of him. "My...name...is" He starts stuttering. "Speak up boy we can't hear you!!" One of the annoying dick jocks Matt says. "Be nice class...go ahead tell us...." Mrs.Summers says looking at the boy. "Ryan Terry." "Thank you Ryan. Let me find you a seat." She scans the room and really the only seat empty is the one next to me. "Well why don't you go sit next to Noah she is the one with the glasses in the front row." The masked boy makes his way toward me and the whole class watches him and he keeps his eyes on me. I see a small smile creep from the side of his mouth and he takes his seat.

Ryan's P.O.V.

My mom drops me off at my new school. Ashton High. It is pretty big. I stare at the school and my mom taps me. "Ryan honey you need to get out." "Mom i'm really scared." "I know but you need to go....first day at a new school is always hard and scary. You will get used to it." She kisses my cheek and I get out of the car and we wave goodbye. I make my way into the large building and head to the office to get my schedule. There were a couple other kids in there for the same thing. Good I'm not the only new kid. I stand in line and the person in front of me looks back and raises his eyebrows. "what's with the mask buddy?" He asks. "I don't like my face being shown" "why not?" I stay quiet for awhile. "Long story." He nods and gets his stuff. "See you around Ryan." He leaves. I don't really know if I like him. I get up to the desk. A lady with short blonde hair and way too much make up looks up at me. "Name." I flinch at her really high voice. "Ryan Terry." She hands me my schedule. "Have a nice day." I leave and go find my locker. L123. I find it and there are math books and english books in there along with a science book. A teacher walks by and comes up to me. "No masks in school." "I have to wear it." He sighs. "Whatever. Also you can take your backpacks to class. Have a good day." I grab my books and got to my first class. I look at my schedule to find the room number. R22 History with Mrs.Summers. I walk in the class and the whole class stares at me. I look around the room and see a really pretty girl with glasses sitting in the front row. She doesn't seem to be interested in me. Oh well I'm interested in her...even though i'm pansexual. She is gorgeous. "Class this is our new student he will be joining us today and forevermore. What is your name sweetie?" I stutter. "My...name...is" "Speak up boy we can't hear you!!" One guy said. He looked like a man whore. "Be nice class...go ahead tell us...." Mrs.Summers says looking at me "Ryan Terry." "Thank you Ryan. Let me find you a seat." She scans the room and really the only seat empty is the one next to the gorgeous girl. "Well why don't you go sit next to Noah she is the one with the glasses in the front row." I make my way to the girl and i smile at her form under my mask. I take my seat and listen to the teacher.

Noah's P.O.V.

"Noah?" The teacher asks. "Yeah?" I say looking at her. "Would you mind showing Ryan around today?" I nod and look at him and my face gets really hot. The bell rings and Mrs.Summers call over Ryan and I to her desk. "Let me see your schedules?" We show her. "Good you guys have every class together. " I sigh and Ryan's face turns really red under his mask. "Be nice Noah I know you are better than that." "I will...I am nice I just don't get along with many people. You've seen the way Matt and his stupid friends treat me." "I know but i think you and Ryan are going to be friends." I nod and leave the room. "Wait up!!" Ryan yells chasing after me. "It's Noah right?" He asks getting to the empty spot beside me. "Yes." "Isn't that a boy's name?" I nod. "It can be a girls." "I know i'm just messing with you. I think its cute." "Thanks." It's quiet after that. "I need to go to my locker and grab my book." He nods and follows me there. I get out the book well basically a novel. "What book is that." "Oh it's called Their Eyes Were Watching God. It's ok I think Mr.Jones will give you one when you walk in." He takes the book from me and looks at it. "It looks good." I give him a weird look. "No it's boring." He laughs and we go to class. We go to the teacher's desk who is on his laptop. "Mr.Jones?" He looks up at me under his glasses. "Yes Ms.Collins?" "This is Ryan Terry and he is in the class." He looks him up and down. "Why the mask?" He asks him. "Well uh...its a long story." Jones just nods and gives him the textbook and rights the number on a paper and gives him the novel. "We are on chapter 6 so will you have to catch up and read it on your own." Ryan nods. "Where do i sit?" "Anywhere." He sits next to me. "Can't you sit somewhere else? You don't have to always sit next to me."

Ryan's P.O.V.

"Can't you sit somewhere else? You don't have to always sit next to me." Noah said. I look at her a little hurt but it's a good thing she can't see my emotion under my mask. "Well your the only one I know in here." She nods. "Alright class turn your books to chapter 6 and start reading." We open them and I start reading chapter 1. Noah was right this kind of boring. After about 15 minutes the teacher talks again and hands me a packet. "Noah can i explain it." Noah explains the packet to me. "Oh so we just awnser the questions based on the story and as we read?" I ask. "yeah." I nod. Class ends after awhile and we go to our next class. "We don't go to our class just yet." Noah says. "we don't?" "No we have first lunch." "Oh ok. Can I sit with you?" She looks at me and nods. "Yeah you will be sitting with me and two of my friends." I nod and we go to the cafeteria and get food. We go to a round table and sit. "Your friends not here yet?" She shakes her head. After a bit they show up and they are all pretty cute. "Noah? Who is the guy with the mask?" One girl says with pretty blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. "HIs name is Ryan Terry he is new here." They nod. "Hi Ryan I'm Dani and this is Abby." I nod and wave. "Why do you where the mask? I bet your beautiful." I shake my head. "I'm not I wear it...well because I....I don't want to talk about it. They nod and talk to Noah. "So Noah have you asked out Nick yet. Noah's face turns completely red. "No...." She says. "You need to!" "i know but its hard." She's right it is. "Yeah i agree it is cause you don't know if they like you back." I say "Yes exactly thank you Ryan. See he knows what I'm talking about." I smile knowing that they can't see it. I know the feeling cause i think i like Noah but I don't know if she likes me.

Noah's P.O.V.

Ryan and I get along real well. He is like my other side but a guy. By the end of the day we were really good friends. Our last class we didn't have it together. "Mrs.Summers lied." Ryan said. I laugh. "Yes." I show where his class is. "So this is my block 7?" "yeah its sociology? Why do you have this." "My dad picked it he said i need to work on my talking skills." "Oh..." He laughs. "It's ok though I really only talk to one person right now." "Really!! Who is that?" Acting like i don't know. "You stupid." I laugh and we hug. "Meet you outside." I say and he nods and goes to his class and i go to mine. After class I go outside and see Ryan sitting on a bench with his hands covering his face and...HIS MASK IS OFFF!!! I go up to him. "Ryan?..." He opens his fingers so I can see his eyes and they are a beautiful green. I hear curse under his breath and quickly turns away from me putting his mask back on. "Ryan? Are you ok?" "Yeah I'm....ok" He stutters a bit. I look at him and touch his arm. "Your mask does a really bad job of hiding your emotions. I know your crying. Your voice is shaky and I can see tears coming out of your mask." He chuckles. "Someone in my last class pissed me off and I got kicked out of class for the day cause i cussed at him." I laugh. "what did he do to piss you off?" "He made fun of me because I had on the mask and called me names and I didn't take it very well. So i cussed at him and he says Oh look the fag is defending himself. I get kicked out and he doesn't and I started crying because well he was rude that's all." I hug him. "It's ok don't let them to that to you your amazing." He hugs back. "Thank you." "Are you walking?" I ask him. "No my mom picks me up. Do you need a ride?" "Oh no it's ok." "You sure my mom would be happy to give a ride." "I appreciate it Ryan but I have to go now I can't be late." "Oh ok...Well byee!!" He says. I smile. "Bye Ryan" I start walking home and I'm a little late and I get yelled at by my dad.
