|Vikk|                ~Lachlan~

I sat at the back of the small classroom keeping my hood down to avoid stares and bullies,

I'm not the same as these pesky people around me, I'm different compared to them, abnormal, a freak, a nobody.

The bell rang signalling the end of school for that day, and for the weekend,

I rose from my seat at the classroom and slowly walked out of that God forsaken room to wait at the bus stop,

I thought today was different, no bullies until Brad came up to me,

"Hey Freak, how are we doing today... Good you need your daily dose of punch it's not healthy to go without it."

He smirked towering over me, as he motions over to his friends to do a group beating,

My favourite...

I just stood there unable to do anything, just hoping that it would go away..., that it would stop.

I laid there on the ground helpless till I heard a voice,

"Stop hurting him what did he do to you?"

"Ooo look at the mess up standing up for freak, why are you even popular?, your standing up for this nobody?"

I used what ever strength I had left to sit up,

Isn't that the guy from my English class?

Right mate, you never noticed me?

I looked at the boy, he smirked at me,

Was he like me? Is that why Brad said that to him?

Not gonna lie he was cute sandy blonde hair, and ocean blue eyes?, I have never seen them worked better than him, and the Australian accent just tops it off,

I just thought to myself,

Oh god I hope he didn't hear that,

Hear what?

I sighed with relief,

I just looked at him again wondering why he stood up for me?

I'm just a nobody, a castaway, a freak and for all I know is that he's popular, a jock and that he has tons of friends,

Oh am I now, my looks deceive you do they?, Im a jock cause of what I can do, im a nerd cause of what I like, I get bullied cause of what I am. Okay got it?

I nodded to him,

"Okay blondie you asked for it, you keep staring at the freak and his my bait so stay out."

"Oh Brad this is why nobody likes you, you think your cool but be real, think twice about what you do to me."

By now everybody was staring and I was to scared to move off the floor,

Brad walked up to him and aimed a punch to his head,

I couldn't even see it but somehow he had dodged the punch and Brad was on the floor,

"Your like him aren't you?" Brad whimpered

"Exactly."

To my surprise he didn't finish him off, he walked up to me and lent down, leading me a hand,

"I'm Lachlan."

"Vik."

He gave me a friendly smile,

"I can take you home if you would like, your in no condition to be walking, plus I can just run you there."

"Thanks but won't you get tired."

He laughed a bit, it was cute,

"Your about to witness the only reason why I'm a 'Jock' , how I dodged that punch, why I do sport and why I'm never outside."

"Sure, just tell how you did that thing before when we get there."

"When you tell me yours."

"Deal"

"Address?"

"*insert address*"

He picked me up bridal style

"Ready Vik?"

I nodded

"3... 2...1"

I closed my eyes to be moving in slow motion almost, Lachlan running full speed, and the air wiping my face, the next time I blinked I was outside my house,

"Um wha... How did yo..that was epic!"

"Sorta" he said rubbing the back of his neck,

I got my key out of my pocket, and unlocked the door, it sliding open,

"Don't worry come right in, I live alone now..." I trailed off

We both walked inside,

I walked through to the hallway to the living room,

Lachlan still following me,

I turned to sit on one of the two chairs sitting across from each other,

I sat down in one and Lachlan in the other,

"Please explain to me Lachlan."

He smiled

"Well I'm Lachlan I'm in your English class, I moved here from Australia because too many people found out about what I guess you could call powers and we decided to move to America so that it would be harder for people to track me down, I use being a so called Jock as my only way to fit in otherwise I'm dead to every single person I care about, I'm average at school I guess, and I can run fast and read and talk through minds, so yeah I'm pretty basic I guess, what about you?"

"Well I'm Vik, and I moved for basically the same reason, except it was because of family problems that were caused by me having some powers or whatever they are called, I'm a main target for bullies for many reasons but I keep my powers on the down low, the only reason that Brad bullies me is beacause we used to be friends except he found out, and I made a deal with him that if I  let him bully me everyday because of it he wouldn't tell anyone about it, and I'm smart and invisible, so not helpful to say the least."

I smiled probably thinking that I would hear a gasp or a Yelp cause of what I agreed with Brad,

Instead what happened was that I felt a hug,

Without even thinking I hugged back, it was the first time I had been hugged out of free will in about 3 months, before Brad found out, and I became the main target to him and his new friends,

"I'm so sorry, about all that you've been through, but I'll tell you a little secret."

I nodded

"I've always wanted to come say hi to you but I wasn't aloud to do anything out of the 'code' of being in the group of people I was with and I wasn't aloud to leave under any circumstances, I was being forced to hang with them, if I could change that I would."

"Why don't you try?"

"I'm a nobody without them, I haven't had the chance to make any friends or anything like that because of them."

"I guess we are just kind of stuck in the same suituation except your stuck with the 'Jocks' and I'm stuck by myself."

"I think I have a way I can change that.."

"Me too.."

"Friends?"

"Friends!"

We continued to hug each other for who knows how long but who cares I now have a friend and that's all I care about,

I looked at the clock on the wall,

"I think you should go it's getting late."

"Yeah, probably should, bye Vik."

"Bye Lachlan."

"You can call me Lachy."

"Okay, do you want to meet up tomorrow?"

"Defiantly."

I waved as he stood up and let himself out,

He slowly closed the door behind him,

"I have a friend."

I smiled to myself,

A friend
