Warning there is a bit of swearing and bullying it's crucial to the story so I am including it, if you want to skip it let me know in the comments and I'll give you a summary of the overall story. Thank you!

At the end of school Lee walked Niko to the entrance, "I hope you like it here, Niko!" He said smiling, "People are really nice once you get to meet them! And you can always hang out with me!" Nikolas nodded and smiled. "Yes, Sir." He said, waving as he watched Lee climb into a blue car. " See you tomorrow! Thank you!" Lee smiled and shut the door, the car pulling away and down the road.

Niko yawned, he was tired after a day of walking around and listening to Lee talk. He walked around to the back of the building, remembering that Bryan had wanted to meet there. Niko has told his mom before he walked to school that he wanted to hang out with any friends that he met during the day, but he just wanted to walk around at a local park and fall asleep in a tree. He often did that, falling asleep in trees or near a crook he had found in the woods near his new house.

When Niko rounded the corner, Bryan was not there. He sat against the wall of the school, his eyes drooping as he started to fall asleep. Bryan would probably find him there and laugh, he thought. He closed his eyes drifting from into a dream.

He opened his eyes and he was at his old house, looking out the window he saw a tall man with no face. Niko tilted his head at the man, his vision blurring. The man just stood there, he was as tall as a street lamp and had a tuxedo on. The dream shifted to the park and he looked around again, this time the man was closer. Niko was sitting in a tree, the leaves surrounded him in a green blanket and the sun shined. The man was again staring at him, darkness seemed to pool around the strange man. Niko tried to say something to the man, " Hello? Who are yo-"

Niko awoke to a sharp pain in his gut. Bryan was standing there, frowning. The boy kicked him again, "Hey!" Niko groaned in pain. "I'm awake! Please stop kicking me, Sir!" Bryan jumped seeing Niko awake. "Oh." He said lowering his leg, "Sorry, I thought you like, died or something." Niko rolled his eyes.

Niko looked behind Bryan, seeing two people snicker. One was Jessie, the other Niko didn't recognize. "So!" Bryan said,gesturing to the two "You already know Jessie, and this is Jack." Jessie smirked and Jack stuck his tongue out. Jack had longish brown hair that reached his shoulders, a small elastic band tying it back.

"Ah, nice to meet you." Niko said smiling at the unfriendly faces above him. Jack rolled his eyes "Yeah okay" He said looking at Jessie and smiling. " So Bryan, when are we going?" Bryan  turned around to face Jack. "As soon as this loser gets off of his lazy ass." He said turning his head and scowling at Niko. "So?"

Niko saw a figure out of the corner of his eye, the man from his dream. He froze. "Hey freak" Jack said "Did you fall asleep again?" Bryan snickered, Niko's eyes widened as the man nodded to him. Niko blinked and the man disappeared. A cold breeze blew over Niko and his voice spoke without his consent.

"What the fuck do you want!?" He asked his tone harsh and his voice rising with anger. Bryan jumped, not expecting Niko's answer. "Why the hell did you want me to come here anyway? To kick me awake!?" Bryan growled. "How dare you!?" Bryan said his fists balling, looking like he was about to punch Niko. Niko put a had over his mouth, his body trembling. He had never sworn before, he had no reason to before. What had happened..? He wondered. Bryan sighed, " Cone with us." He said, smiling.

Niko stood, bracing himself on the wall. "W-Where are we going...?" Niko asked, taking a step forward. Bryan smiled, "Our secret hide out." He said, " It's in the woods." He nodded to Jack and Jessie who started walking towards the road. Bryan followed them, gesturing for Niko to follow. Niko suddenly smiled, his body seemed to act on its own. "Let's go, Niko." He said or rather a part of him said. "Let's meet your new 'friends' "
