I bolt down the hall until I eventually reach the right class. I burst thru the door, my bag almost falling off my shoulder. "I'm here!" I proclaim, rather loudly. "Mr.Zvhal." My teacher looks at me, a look of disappointment and in-amusement on his face. "You're late... Again!" The teacher scolds. "I-I'm sorry...! I--" I get cut off. "I don't want excuses. Just because you and your petty sister are raising a weak child together doesn't mean you can get out of everything easily!" He growls.

I feel anger rumble in my stomach. I clench my fist and look down, a shadow casting over my eyes. "What did you just call my family?" I ask in a dark voice. "Wow! Mad Meteli is coming out, everybody!" A student chimes. "Number one, I'm from Meteli. That's not my last name." I raise my head, "Secondly, my family is everything that you'll never be." I snap.

"HE'S ABOUT TO BURST!" Another student yells. My eyes glow a red color, "AND HE BURSTS!" The same student shouts. I feel my body getting bigger. "Fine. Be that way." My voice is demonic, "I didn't need you or your class anyway. Have fun sitting on the guilt of ruining, not only a person's dream. But the income of a struggling family." I slash thru the walls with my sword and storm out.

"TO THE DEAN! IMMEDIATELY." The teacher barks out orders. "Nobody tells me what to do." I melt into the shadows.

"Levin! Come on! We're going to miss the bus!" Malachi exclaims. He's now a senior in high school and Levin's in fifth grade. "Coming!" Levin says. My stomach immediately turns, "Zenix!" I call out. "Yea?" My brunette best friend walks into the room. "Do you have an odd feeling at all?" I ask. Zenix shakes his head, "Not at all." He states.

I had this feeling since... Ty. Is he back? No. He can't be back. He died a few years ago. I sigh, "Ok..." I murmur. Zenix takes a few steps, getting closer to me, "What's wrong? I know that look." Zenix questions. "Just.. My stomach's turning. I feel that something's wrong." I inform.

Zenix plants a kiss on my forehead, then looks me dead in the eye. I stare into his crimson orbs, "Everything's going to be fine... Nobody's in trouble," Zenix places his hands on my shoulders, "I promise." I nod nervously, "You're right. It's just my mind playing tricks on me." I say. Zenix nods, "That's probably it." He takes his hands off of my shoulders and walks up to the stairs, "Levin! Malachi! Come on! You're actually going to miss the bus, it's here!" Zenix calls out.

"Coming!" Both boys yell. Levin and Malachi come barreling down the stairs, "Coming thru!" Malachi hops onto the railing and slides past Zenix. Malachi lands on his feet. Levin tries to do the same thing, but can't reach the railing as well as Malachi can, so Levin just ducks under Zenix's arm. "Lets go, buddy." Malachi leads Levin out the door. "Bye!" Both of my brothers exclaim in sync. Levin slams the door shut. I see them run off and get into the bus.

"Well," Zenix walks over to me, "I gotta go, Aph." Zenix gives me a quick hug, then runs out the door, grabbing his satchel on the way out. Ever since everybody disbanded, Zenix moved in with me as Aaron and Amber moved away to raise their child together. I don't see them often, but when I do, I have to give their little kid a cheek squeeze. Lil' Andrew.

I smile to myself and grab my bookbag. As I'm leaving, I hear something get knocked over. I turn around and see a shadow looming over me. "H-Hello?" I stutter. "Long time, no see." The voice sounds so familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. Who is that? The shadow turns into a human.

"Old friend." Laurance smirks.
