Raodhog's PoV

There's something nice about the start of a new school year, maybe it's all the opportunities that are there for the fallowing year, or maybe it's just the fact I don't need to be sharing the hallway with couples all the time. Listen, if you can walk between people the you should not be waking with two or three of your friends taking up the whole hallway and moving at three steps a minute. Some people want to get to class. Next time I'm just walking over them.

"Salut" I hear a call and turn to see a familiar face. I turn to see my friend walking closer. "It's been quite a while Mako"  Amélie said.

I couldn't help but smile at her. "How was dance camp?"

"Oh you know, training, waking up early, just like home" I could tell there was a slight strain in her voice, but it was gone quickly. "Another boy tries to kiss me"

"What hospital is he at?" This earned me a slap.

"It was only a broken nose." She shook her head then fixed her ponytail. "Who's that?" She pointed to someone getting off the bus. He had short blond hair that looked darker in the ends. He was hunched over and walking strange. That's when I noticed why, he had a peg leg. Not not a prosthetic, well yes but, it was a real, a peg leg. I quickly tries to look away but only found myself looking at his face. He had some kind of look as he walked. He was squinting, keeping eyes eyes to the ground in front of him.

"You should talk to him" Amélie said, "after all I have never seen you with that look before"

"Who is he?" I said still staring at the door he walked threw.

Amélie sighed "I'm going to mane sure you're his tour guide. Hurry up before some else took the spot." I rolled my eyes but didn't bother protesting farther. That almost never worked against Amèlie, she was very stubborn. Especially when it cane to matters of the heart.

I waited outside his classroom, five minutes, ten minutes, nothing. Maybe he had gotten lost, the principal did say he kinda just walked off. I peeked into the window and sure enough he was there, sitting with his back to the door. I took a breath and knocked on the door. I could see the kid nearly jump at the sound as the teacher walked over and opened the door. "Umm I'm here to take the new kid in a tour" the kid sighed. "If it's that important fine" he stood up and walked over. He let the door close behind him before he turned to face me.

"We just gonna stand here? I hate waiting" he started to walk passed me. I said nothing and walked with him. "I know you're not mute, why the sudden silence?" He didn't look at me when he asked. It must be difficult to turn around, or at least it wasn't something he was used to.

"Just wondering where you're taking me. Oh yeah, and what your name is" I tried to be cute, I was never very good but I thought it would break the ice well.

The question seems to make him stop, as if he was debating a lie.  "Jamison" he said.  He stopped and turned to me "and what's your name?"

"Mako" I said starting to walk the other way, "Now will you let me take you on the tour?" After a beat of silence I could hear the sound of the peg leg hitting the ground.  I kept my pace slow, so Jamison could keep up without having to strain himself. "This hallway as almost all of the English classes, but it also is the fastest way to get to the art rooms.  Can I see your schedule?" he took a paper from his pocket and handed it to me.  It wasn't neat but at the same time not crinkled.  I smoothed out the wrinkles, from the pattern it looked like the paper had been folded more then a few times. I looked over it quickly, trying to compare it to my own schedule. "I think the best way to go about this to show you were all of your classes are, then things like the cafeteria and guidance and other things like that, if that's alight" I smiled.

"Sure, as along as we keep moving" He took the paper buck starting to fold it again. I started walking just a bit faster and he seemed to keep up without too much of a problem.

"I know you get asked this a lot, but how did you lose your leg?"

"No need to worry mate, I got it bitten off by a crocodile a few years ago" He flashed a big smile, but the answer was almost too quick, too rehearsed. He was lying, but what about? Why would he lie about what happen to his leg?

I decided to drop it and to explain how to get to different classes. "and that would be all of them"

"That's seven classes and we have eight blocks" Jamison gave me a slight glare but I could see the slightest upturn of a smile.

"Well your last class is art and I'm also in that class so I was going to walk you down there..." I looked at his, expecting some kind of harsh reaction.  Why would I even try flirting?

But he smiled.  "Sounds like a blast, I'll see you then".
