The story i stared on way just too huge in scope for me to handle, so imma restart and do something else, and this is it, i have no editors but i try my best, but please if ya find any problems, do tell so i can right my wrongs, enjoy.


Daniel pov:
Moving can be both the best, and the worst experience in the world, all really depening on the person and their general situasion, for me, it is both, i hated my old home, old school and just old life, but for all i know, this is gonna be even worse, espeically seeing as this is an even smaller town in bumfuck nowhere!
Fields and forests, with a small town, or even worse, a village i would call it, but hey, its got a school and a mall...cinema, what more could you ask for.... and oh yes, forgot to mention, this is another country, from the idyllic Northern lands, to middle America, land of the great American Exceptionalism, maybe i am just being the biggest asshole, with my ''superor'' Scandinavian thinking, which is also being an asshole...bah!
These and simmilar thoughts are going thought my mind, as me and my mother are driving towards our new home in a new place, so far removed from my comfort zone that i want to puke
As we pull up to the driveway, i see our glorius abode,

*Alright Daniel* my mom looks at me *Welcome to our new home* she smiles kindly, i can see the hope in her eyes, that i will smile back, and at least pretend not to give up before our new life has even properly started, i turn to head to her and give a weak, not at all convising smile, but hey, its a start.
Exiting the car i walk to our new home and unlock the door, as i snached the keys from mom and delve inside the unfamiliar but rather cozy looking house and decide that i get to pick the bedroom first.
------------------------------------------
2 days later:
*Moooom! come on! its been 2 days! i havent even gotten over the bloody jetlag! i havent slept properly these past two days!* i whine and complain at the prospect on going too school with the feeling of dragging around an anvil, mom just tsks and shakes her head
*I have called your school and informed them that you probably wont be at your full 100 for atleast the next week*
Groaning i pick up my backpack and trut over to the door, *Love you mom, but you can truly be so freaking annoying sometimes* i turn to mom and says with smug amusement in my eyes
*Right back at you child of mine, now get!* she shoo me out the door *Do you need a lift?* she askes.

*Nah, if i get into that car i will fall asleep and not even a train could wake me up, i'll walk, try to get a little familiar with the place* i smile, give mom a hug, poke her in the rips and runs away like i was lightning itself as i hear a *Just you wait until you get home!* followed by barely contained laughter.
I trot along the side walk, noticing that, alright, bigger than a village, small town, also rather nice looking, dose not look like the coveted white picket fence american dream, but an older design, before such notions exsisted, but in it self a very idyllic and calm place... and no doubt boring as hell.

I walk for about 10 minutes, give or take a couple of minutes, the the highschool of Silver Valley comes into view, two stories, rather wide school, not bad i guess.
Now... do i dare stride in the front doors, with so many freaking student outside! it is truly never fun being the new kid, standing there for 5 minutes, thinking through my options, my decision being to nope the fuck out of there, having made up my mind, i spin around then charge forwards, just to be met with a soft yet freaking steel wall, looking up i realize i have just ran into a person, whos Emerald shining eyes....wait shining? i speed back quickly and fall back on my poor ass *Fuck!* i curse out, eyes shut as that really hurt!

Looking back up i see the same guy, looking back at me with concern in his... blue eyes? must have been the sun or something, he reached his hand out towards me *I am so sorry kid, are you alright?* grabbing his hand he helps me up,
*Yeah, yeah i am fine, sorry for running right into you* i give a weak smile.
But then, that piercing gaze again lands on me, and i feel like prey being stalked by a predator, *Umm, is there something on my face perhaps?* i ask the strange guy, and this seems to snap him out of whatever otherworldy trance he was in
*Ah! no, no nothing, i apologize for my rudeness, i am a teacher in this school, names Harry and you must be the new student Daniel that i heard about* he says as we shake hands,
*How would you know?* i ask in a half mocking half accusatory manner
He chuckles, but by god what a deep and hardy chuckle right from the gut, mesmerizing.
*I know every student in this school, and you young man, is not one i have met before and as such by process of elimination you must be the new student, and i am your teacher* he says, grinning a huge victory grin.

I huff and cross my arms, *Yes well congrats, now if you will exuse me, i have stuff to do* i try to almost slide past him, but then his big... strong arms fold around me, i would have melted right then and there if he had not lifted me up and sat me down on my feet infont of him again *EEH HEY!* I screeth at him while he laughes *Your mother did mention that you might try to sneak away, so here i am to stop you and make sure you get to where you are suppose to be... my classroom* i roll my eyes at him, *Oh joy* i say not at all in any convicing manner, he then pushed me gently towards the school and now every students eyes are upon me, this is gonna be such a long day.
