The good mood didn't last.

As soon as Dan saw what was next on his timetable, his heart sank.

Parkour - Playing Fields

"PJ?" he called.

"Yeah?" PJ walked over to him. "What?"

"I- I've got parkour next lesson, and I don't know where the playing fields are."

"Parkour? Parkour? Why would you choose parkour, of all things?"

"I didn't. I went a bit crazy when I was choosing my timetable and, long story short, I made the receptionist fill in the empty spaces with other lessons."

PJ nodded, pretending to understand. "Well, I can't help you there, because my next lesson's right in the furthest corner of school, but I can get you some directions on your EMD."

Dan smiled gratefully and handed it to him. "Thanks."

PJ tapped a few buttons and handed it back to him. "No problem. See you some other time, yeah?"

"I hope so."

PJ walked backwards for a few steps, then waved quickly and ran off.

Dan looked down at his EMD. It beeped quietly, directing him left, down the corridor. He scanned it at the exit of the changing rooms, and hurried off down the hallway.

After a confusing few minutes of searching, Dan found the playing fields. They were set up with piles of bricks, branches and walls, and people were already there, jumping over things and scrambling around obstacles.

Dan found himself a small space at the edge of the field and stood, quietly watching.

The teacher strode towards them, arms swinging. "Good morning, class!" he called.

The class replied cheerfully. It was obvious that this teacher was well liked.

"For those of you who are new, I am Mr Hartley, and I will be taking you for parkour. The idea here is, you do some parkour on the field with the obstacles, and I watch you, and learn."

Everybody nodded their understanding.

"Now, get into groups, and off you go!"

People quickly formed groups with their friends, and Dan was left standing alone. He shuffled over to the teacher.

"Um... Sir?"

"Yes, Charlie? It is Charlie, isn't it?"

Dan shook his head. "Dan, sir."

"Dan- Dan... Howell?"

Dan nodded awkwardly.

"Ah. Well. Shall we... find you a group? They can show you the ropes."

Dan faked a smile. "Thanks, sir."

The teacher strode over to the nearest group. "Boys?"

They all turned to look at him.

"Can I have a quick word?"

They groaned, but turned to face him.

"This here is Dan Howell. He's new to the school, and he's got a... Condition."

"Why are you telling us this?" a short, blonde boy asked. He was looking at Dan with distaste.

"Ah, well... Dan needs some help... Learning things."

They stared at him. "What?"

"He's not a Master."

The blonde boy wrinkled his nose. "And you want us to look after him?"

Hartley nodded, ignoring the boy's angry undertones. "That'd be great, thanks." He turned to walk away.

"Great. Now we're stuck with a freak." Blondie snarled, turning his back on Dan. Two of the others followed suit, flicking their hair and watching Blondie as he ran quickly up a wall and grabbed the top.

The last boy, however, didn't turn away. He was looking at Dan with something close to interest, and when Dan turned to look at him, he couldn't help but stare at the boy's liquid blue eyes.

The boy looked up at Dan, and saw that Dan was watching him. He flashed a quick smile, and Dan tore his eyes away from the blue to smile nervously back.

Something seemed to spark between them - a connection, maybe, or perhaps an understanding.

Dan felt a sudden glimmer of hope. This boy didn't seem to be accepted by his group either. Maybe he was different too. Maybe they were both Non-Masters, and Dan finally wasn't the only one.

The boy smiled again, and Dan was on the verge of opening his mouth, when someone yelled.

"PHIL! GET OVER HERE AND TRY A TIC-TAC ON THIS WALL!"

The boy looked startled, but ran off towards Blondie and his 'squad'. He didn't even pause before running up the wall, turning, and pushing himself away, clearing Blondie's head and landing neatly on the floor behind.

Dan sighed. Of course he's a Master. Who isn't?
