I narrowed my eyes, tapping my feet intensely in impatience. My friends, did the same in unison. My hand pushed a few strands of my blond hair aside. The Nurse told us to stay put.

We clearly had no intention of doing so though.

Dwayne appeared, with bruises and scratches all over his arm and face, he groaned and entered in the same Nurse's room where Rocky was kept

The two gave each other a death glare, Dwayne sat on a seat, distancing himself from Rocky

The nurse could see those two didn't like each other, she told Rocky that he was fine and only needed a plaster. Rocky went out and narrowed his eyes at me and my friends.

The Nurse followed him until she met our eyes "Could you guys please, be around Rocky? I don't want him to be in more trouble," The nurse sighed, I felt extremely furious, Rocky was an absolute pain.

"Of course we will..." Everest replied while she grinded her teeth, she gave Rocky a negative expression and looked away. Zuma ignored the nurse, he put his headphones on and played some music.

"Thank you so much!" The nurse grinned and went back to Dwayne

Now that she was away, we now had to handle him...Rocky.

"I don't think being around him is a good idea! Can we just leave him somewhere?!" Zuma shot in a whispered tone, so Rocky couldn't hear him

"I wish, but we have to..." Everest sighed

Rocky had enough of the quiet chit chat, so when no one was looking at him, he paced off.

I realised Rocky was trying to escape, I rubbed my forehead "Rocky!" I yelled with fury "Come back here!"

But, he didn't come back. Rocky looked like he was escaping from a mob of morons. He gave a smirk and disappeared through the crowded halls.

"Well then...I'm gonna get a snack with Rubble," Zuma shurgged and pulled Rubble's arm

Just then, the bell rang. It was time for another lesson of English.

"Urgh, let's go," Zuma stated, with his hands in his pockets

We started walking to our lesson. People rushed past us, me and my friends tipped over multiple times but we managed to finally get to class.

My English class looked quite gloomy, Marshall was bickering with Dwayne, Rubble was now crying over a fallen crisp packet, Sylvia was screaming at a girl who lost her mascara and Chase and Gasket were completely stiff on their seats without saying a word

I sighed and sat next to Chase, he was viewing our table like it was a prized possession, I glanced at him with a confused expression

"Earth to Chase?" I shook my hand in front of him, he groaned and snapped at me

"What do you want now Skye?" Chase questioned in a raspy, hissing tone, he crossed his arms and scoffed

"What happened to you? Did you get into a car accident?" I glared at him, his eyes were half open and his voice was like his switched his voice box with a snake.

"Very funny..." He rolled his chocolate eyes and continued to stare at the 'fascinating' table

Gasket was staring at me, her eyes filled with anger, she was probably mad because I was speaking to Chase, even though she told me not to.

"Class! Settle down!" Katie yelled, while setting up her laptop to our latest work

Everyone became quiet. As Katie was the wife of the Vice Principal, nobody wanted to mess with her.

"Thank you. Now, has anyone finished their homework?" She asked, she stared intensely at us, waiting for a response.

Ella was the only one to put her hand up, Katie smiled in satisfaction.

"Ella, I guess you and your partner where the only pair who did the homework! Well done!" She clapped loudly and continued with her bright smile

"Uhm no, I just wanted to ask a question," Ella mumbled, looking slightly embarrassed

"Oh...What may that question be?" Katie's smile turned into a frown, she asked in disappointment

"What was the homework?" Ella answered, putting her hand down slowly

Katie sighed "Don't you guys remember the Writing Homework I told you about, in our last lesson? The one where you were assigned in partners to create a book of any genre choice? That homework." She snapped and narrowed her eyes at us

'Oh's' filled the room. Not gonna lie, but I actually forgot about that homework as well

"As everyone forgot about it, the deadline for the homework will be extended till next week, you guys have plenty of time to do it now, so, If someone doesn't do it, I will have no interest of your boring excuses of why didn't do the homework," The teacher stated, "Alright then, registration time,"

After registration was over, Katie, put on some tasks which lacked the attention of the students including a long essay at the end which looked impossible to most, Mrs Katie expected us to be silent but my class...were the complete opposite

Most of the students were chatting away, unable to listen to the words that Mrs Katie gave, only a few people in the room were actually doing what they were supposed to do and was only three people. Me, Everest and Chase...?

That was right, Chase was doing his work in complete, dead silence, a bit too silent if you ask me. It was like Chase was somehow planning a mass murder. I shuddered and continued to do my work but my annoying brain started to imagine Chase with a formal noir suit with a polished gun in his hand, shooting away, gunshots fired and it all ends with his incredible smirk...

I daydreamed away and then saw a glimpse of Chase staring at me like I was in some sort of obsessive fan club over someone, I smacked myself into reality, only causing Chase to just widen his eyes and look the other direction, shaking his head.

Get it together Skye! You are fierce! You are a freaking warrior!

Katie announced that we had 15 more minutes to complete our tasks but the moment she closed her mouth, Chase immediately rose up from his seat, carrying his filled paper in his hand and placed it down Katie's work table, she gave an impressed, satisfied smile to Chase as he walked back down to his seat and crossed his legs with his arms folded looking like he found a cure for cancer!

My widened eyes were embedded into his, my mouth was unlocked.

Was Chase actually smart?!

Of course, he's smart dummy. Smarter than you. Even though I went to the most well rated grammar school in all of Foggy Bottom, Chase was the one who looked like he could beat all my former classmates in some wizards duel!

"You can stop looking at me like that, you know? You're starting to creep me out Miss Quill. I know I'm extremely hard not to recognise but try and give me some peace," He shot at me with a whispered tone, clicking his fingers at me.

"How?" I just asked, with my eyes still wide eyed at him

"What do you mean 'how'? Speak in proper sentences Skylar," He snapped at me in a hushed tone

"First of all it's just 'Skye' mate! And second of all, what I mean is...HOW DID YOU JUST COMPLETE THAT ESSAY IN LIGHTNING SPEED, ARE YOU LIKE THE SECRET FLASH OR QUICKSILVER OR SOMETHING, IF SO...TEACH ME YOUR WAYS FELLOW CLASSMATE!" I loudly whispered causing other students to give me a bizarre glance.

Chase chuckled awkwardly "I'm touched that you think that I'm like a superhero, but stop acting dumb. Just with a bit more studying you could become just like me," He gently patted my head and leaned back on his seat returning to his cold stare at the wall.

After an hour, the bell rang officially making it hometime again, Chase and me both exchanged a awkward smile and then I stuffed all my equipment in my worn out backpack, leaving the room and waited for Everest, Zuma and Rubble.

Eventually they came out, and we all walked through the crowded halls.

"Oh gosh! My fingers hurt so much!" Everest complained, balancing herself on Zuma's shoulder

Zuma laughed "It was, I thought my fingers were about to fall off!"

We all chatted now knowing a special someone was staring at us.

    ************

"Just do it Marshall! There's no hope getting married to her at this point!" Chase teased, nudging his friend playfully

"Chase, I didn't know you had such a good sense of humor!" Marshall sarcastically responded, crossing his arms tightly.

"Seriously Marshall, you never even interact with her, to get the girl you need to create a bond with her!" Chase spilled out facts

"Who told you, you were Cupid? You never even dated someone Mr 'I Know Everything' " Marshall narrowed his eyes

"Well, I am very good with the ladies," Chase proudly responded and flicked his brunette hair

"And so am I!" Marshall huffed "But, there's only one lady I like."

"Why her though? As I said, you rarely interact with her, I thought you were the popular football captain, who could get any girl he pleases! Not some shy idiot!" Chase placed his hand in his pockets, pleased with his 'impactful' words

They both got through the school gates and paced through the pavement

Marshall slowly chuckled "We were extremely close in Elementary and Middle School," His eyes darted at Everest who was smiling around her friends and invested in her chat "I don't know...High School just changed me, I became 'popular' and the 'Football Captain' blah blah blah and then Everest just stopped talking to me, like I was the loner, but I wish-"

Dwayne suddenly appeared, pushing Chase out of the way and then grabbing Marshall's collar banging him against a red brick wall, choking him right in front of all the students. Marshall was trying to pull Dwayne's arm away from him but was unable to, his face started turning into a unsettling red.

"Aw, you thought you could just run away from the drama that happened at lunch? Did you think you just left me there to cry? And you just walk away feeling confident about yourself? Well, now I have the upper hand," Dwayne smirked and forcefully grasped Marshall's collar, tightening his neck

Dwayne's eyes landed on Chase's, who gave him a furious look

"Oh! Look everyone! Marshall's hanging out with this loser, with not a sense of emotion or compassion! Wait guys! Do all of you know the story of this mysterious boy?" Dwayne yelled, causing all the students to mumer and gossip and giving him full attention

Me and friends turned around in horror, with another fight that happened on the same day. We all gasped when we saw Marshall being choked by the devil himself.

Chase's fists closed, he grinded his teeth and stared directly at Dwayne's malicious eyes

"Aw! You wanna punch me? Look everyone! Emo boy wants to punch me!" Dwayne chuckled, waving his left hand up in the air while is right hand was tightening his grip on Marshall's collar

Chase's face went cold, his eyes narrowed, head tilted, his face was locked.

Until suddenly, Chase's fists flew onto Dwayne face causing him to bang himself on the brick, solid ground...

Blood poured from Dwayne's face and he started to wimper, tears falling from his damp eyes

Photos, videos, lives all being taken at this moment. Lights shone at the two. Chase and Dwayne while Marshall stared at Chase in horror.

"He punched me! Chase Gunn punched me! Look everyone, this is what he truly is! A cold, emotionless monster!"

Chase slowly looked upon his fists only showing his components blood just shimmering at him, his eyes locked as he sighed, clasping his hands on his face in disappointment.

"See?! All the evidence is shown on his knuckles! Do you know what happened to his former best friend?" Dwayne cried out while blood poured into his mouth

"He disappeared! Gone! It was rumoured that he was murdered. By who, you may ask?" Dwayne lighlty chuckled, and pointed directly at Chase "The one who is covered by blood,"
