{Virgil's POV}

 My older brother Gerard needed to move here for college and mom just couldn't live without him. I have to leave the school that I grew up in, that is my second home because I couldn't bare to break my mother's heart. First days suck, they really do. I never thought I'd had to have a first day again. Ugh. I slipped my shoes on. Doc martins, my mom bought them for me, said she wore similar boots when she was my age..I put in my headphones and put my phone in my jacket pocket and tried to block out the world.. I climbed onto the bus and sat in the empty seat and put my bag on the one next to me and waved goodbye to my mother. The bus ride was an hour long, dreary and loud as frick. As I walked into school, I put my headphones on and Beautiful from Heathers started playing. I put my hood up and walked to my locker, I took my key out and opened it and then put my phone in because we can't have it out during school hours or they'll take it away. I close and lock my locker and walk to homeroom when I see this dude. He was surrounded with his other friends and you could tell he was typically popular. He was of average height, was broad shouldered and had red streaks in his hair and had a letterman jacket on. I couldn't see his face and frankly didn't care, I just rolled my eyes and kept walking. I went to homeroom and took a seat. Not long after I came in, Logan and Patton did too. They walked up to me and I stood up.

"Hi Kiddo, How are you?" Patton greeted me with a huge grin and a hug. He had soft blue streaks in his hair and was shorter than me, his head only came up to my chin, so it was like hugging a kid.

"Hi Patt, I'm..Okay" I hugged him back because it was Patt. I turned to Logan who had his head buried in some calculations, probably mathed himself into a cycle of calculations only confusing himself further. No one else can solve those problems and Logan take it upon himself to do so. Eventually he looks up and says,  "Salutations, Virgil"  He had dark blue highlights but those were barely noticeable and he also wore a tie, insisting on keeping his outfit professional.

"Hey, Logan" I reply back as we all take a seat and do basically nothing because that's just what homeroom is. I ask what Logan's and Patton's fist classes are after H.R; Patton says he's got Drama and Logan says he's got Literature which means that I have ASL first. Luckily since our school is barely organized our classes are close together (or at least that was how it seemed when they gave me my schedule and map of where everything is), we can walk there together. On our way to class Logan and Patton started talking, I didn't really contribute or pay attention but then something Logan said caught my attention.

"Ah yes, Patton. The students from the neighboring high school are coming to stay for a few months as the academic tournaments, football season and school musicals are starting, I believe the school's name is Greene High School. I believe they are arriving tomorrow" I heard Logan say. Greene High School is really weird. Like fever dream weird. It feels like all of us have counterparts so much like us there, it gives me the chills. There is only one other emo between our two high schools and his name was Michael.

"Wait a second, doesn't that cute emo boy Michael go there? I know someone  really likes him.." Patton said in that typical 'embarrassing parent/friend' teasing tone while playfully poking me near my stomach and ribs. Logan snickered and then quickly regained his composure as if nothing happened. 

"Yes. Michael does go there. But someone  barely knows michael as someone has already told Patton." I said with my jaw clenched. We all walked to our respective classrooms. I walked in and I took a seat near the back. These are going to be a rough few months.

A/N: Eek. That was the first chapter. I know it kinda sucked egg but I think I did an okay job. I know the pacing is a bit weird. Forgive me. What do you think about Michael, have you made it your mission to hate him? Try not to, he's a good guy I swear. Um.....Yeah that was it. Kinda medium in length, I tried to make it longer but then it would have been boring. Expect an update around Friday or Saturday maybe?
