"George c'mon. You are coming with me today," Nick said as he and his brother walked out of the house.

His brother just chuckled and got into the car. Once again he was thankful for the cool leather seats as he leaned his head back. The leather soothed the ache in the back of his head.

"How's your head?" Nick asked, glancing at his brother.

"Aches but it's healed. I heal quickly, remember?" George smirking. Nick just scoffed playfully and pulled into the school parking lot. They got out of the car and walked into the school. Nick pulled him to a small group of people.

"Hey, guys. This is my brother George," Nick said as he approached the group.

"Hey Nick," A short male said. Surprisingly, he was shorter than George but if George was actually mortal then he figured he'd be that height as well.

The male that had spoken had darker skin and eyes that shimmered like diamonds. He was being held by a taller male with glasses. The male was tan in color and had light brown hair.

"My name's Zak and this is Darryl," The shorter male said grinning. George recognized one person in the group and that was his brother's boyfriend, Karl. Karl walked up to Nick and kissed his cheek, smiling.

"So you finally convinced George to hang with us huh," Karl smiled.

"Yes, I did," Nick grinned holding Karl's waist. George smiled as a male walked up to the group.

"Hey, Nick. Who's this?" The male said nodding his head at George.

"Oh, Clay. This is my little brother George," Nick grinned. Clay nodded and brushed his sandy blonde hair out of his face.

"Hey aren't you the kid who passed out in the hallway yesterday. The janitors suck here so the blood is still on the floor," Clay asked curiously.

"Yeah, that's me," George said, his facial features hardening.

"I think it's pretty cool that you're able to hide your feelings like that," Clay smirked. George smiled a little, his shoulders relaxing.

"Wait you're that kid! Can I check your wounds?" Darryl asked somewhat worriedly. He also seemed to be pretty excited. George guessed that he was gonna become a doctor or something.

"There are no wounds to check anymore but ok," George said grinning. Nick grinned as well.

"What do you mean there are no wounds. Your head was smashed into a locker and tile floor," Darryl said confused. The other two looked confused as well.

"George has faster healing than the average human. His wounds heal and disappear in under twelve hours. I found that out when he got hit by a truck and survived. It wasn't just any truck either no it was a damn semi," Karl said, shuddering slightly. Darryl and Zak looked astonished and had awe on their face while Clay's expression was hard and calculating.

"So are you, like, superhuman or something?" Zak asked curiously.

"I guess you could say that. I mean, I'm no Superman," George said shrugging. His brown eyes shifted from brown to auburn for a millisecond before returning to their normal chocolate brown color.

Nobody seemed to notice. At least, George thought nobody noticed. Clay noticed it and narrowed his green eyes. "Hey, aren't you colorblind?" Clay asked, changing the subject.

"Yeah. I have protanopia," George shrugged nonchalantly.

"What does fire look like to you? I heard online it looks brown," Clay said intriguingly. George's eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store.

"For me, it looks like liquid gold. It's so pretty," George said grinning. Clay smirked at the short boy before two more people walked up to the group.

"Hey Finn, hey A6D," Nick said as the two walked over. Finn greeted the group and introduced himself and A6D to George. A6D nodded, acknowledging(word of advice the best way to spell that word is to spell knowledge first) the short male.

The bell rang for the first period and Clay walked George to class. George told him he didn't need to but Clay insisted. Apparently, he had a free period so he was just gonna walk George to his class since it was on the way to the library.

George waved goodbye and sat down at his desk. The class zoned on and when the first period ended George saw Nick waiting outside his class with Karl. Nick kissed Karl while George walked out of his class. "Hey lovebirds, we have a free period next," George said, getting the two to pull apart. They blushed and George laughed.

"One day you're gonna have a boyfriend too and you're going to have PDA to ya' know," Nick joked.

"No, this pringle is going to stay single," George said, smirking.

"I doubt that. There are plenty of people who think you're cute," Karl said, smirking.

"Mortals are too stupid for me so I'm probably going to be single for the rest of my immortal life," George responded. Nick made a flabbergasted nose and flailed his arms.

"You know it's true, Nick. Don't try to deny it," George laughed. He felt someone grab the back of his collar.

Karl's eyes widened as he turned and watched George shut down his emotions. Nick glared in anger at the bully as George lifted his hand. He smacked the bully in the face and the bully screamed holding his cheek. When he lifted his hands the bully's face had a scorching red handprint. It was seemingly glowing. George walked away and Karl and Nick were quick to follow.

"Is that why you refused to let me do anything?" Nick asked as people started whispering.

"He's got another thing coming if he thinks that's all that's gonna happen to him," George said grinning.

People's whispers soon turned into murmurs which soon turned to rumors. The rest of the periods droned on until lunch. George, Karl, Nick, and Nick's friends sat at a table outside.

"I heard Jackson had to go to the nurse today. People were saying he had third-degree burns on his face," Darryl said during lunch.

"It's second-degree burns," George said, not looking up from his book.

"Do you know what happened?" Zak asked curiously.

"Yeah, I slapped him," George said nonchalantly.

"He got second-degree burns from you slapping him?!" Clay asked as his eyes widened. Zak started snickering and Darryl couldn't help but let out a small laugh. I mean nobody likes Jackson except for his posse.

"Yeah," George smirked. Darryl was astonished he slapped Jackson. Though he shouldn't have been too surprised. According to Nick, Jackson has been bullying George for a little over a year.

"So, do you have a significant other?" Clay asked. George couldn't blame him for asking, everyone else in the group had a boyfriend.

"I'm answering for you George. Earlier he said, ' This pringle is gonna stay single, mortals are too stupid for me.'" Nick said, snickering.

"Mortals? Aren't you a mortal too?" Zak asked curiously.

"Oh uh, yeah. Um, it was a joke though it was very true," George said quickly half lying.

"Didn't you say you slapped Jackson and it caused second-degree burns?" Darryl said, eyebrows furrowing.

"I think it was an allergic reaction to my hand lotion," George quickly lied again. He doesn't even wear lotion.

"If you say so," Darryl said, backing down. George let out a silent breath of relief and stood up.

"I need to go to the library. I will be right back," George said when Nick asked him where he was going.

"I'll go with, I need to drop a book off," Clay said standing up as well.

"Fine by me," George said, grabbing his bag. George went inside and Clay followed soon after grabbing his bag.
