=Jordan's pov=

It was almost 10.

"Will, I have to go, but want to meet up again tomorrow," I ask him as I stand up . "Yeah sure," he says as he stands up beside me. "Ok see you later, Shadow Boy," I call out to him.

"Bye Jordan, see you later," he calls back as he walks into the shadows and disappears.

"That was cool," I say as I keep walking home.

<time skip to when he comes home>

I slowly open the door. I enter my house and see.....

I moan at the sight of my mom sleeping on the couch with someone.

I role my eyes the head up to my room, to sleep. I flopped in bed.

I watched the wall on the dark corner of my room for a while. It's dark because the rest of my room is lit up by a street light.

Then the shadow grew a little, and someone was there .

I sat up and moved back in fear.

"Who are you what do you want! " I whisper yell because I don't want mom or her 'special friend' to wake up.

It took a step closer.

It was a male.

"Come on you don't remember me you just left," he laughed . "W-Will?" I ask with fear.

"No it's another shadow boy who's brave enough to go into a humans room at night. of course it's me" he says laughing .

"Oh my god you gave me a heart attack, and keep you voice down , last thing I need is my mom hear us" I tell him.

He shrugs then takes a couple steps closer.

"So how and why are you here?" I ask Will

"Well, I wanted to check out your room, and one of the good things about being a shadow boy is we can teleport between shadows. As long as they are there we can get to them. But we can only get to them if there's another shadow we can go into," Will tells me

"Ok t-then , I'm going to bed now, mind giving me some space , but I'll see you tomorrow" I tell him as I put my head on my pillow. "Ok. Watch the shadows," Will whispers as he disappears.

<the next day>

I open my eyes and moan because I have school today. "Another day." I sigh

As I walk to school I see all the different groups: populars, rockers, jocks, geeky dweebs (smart needs), hippies, and my group, the nerds.

My group of friends is Dan, Graser , Liam , Zack and Dylan (8Bit). Our group used to be huge, but then they all became cool. People like Brayden and Grape became jocks, Joe became a rocker, Bee and Struab became popular, Ryan joined the hippies, and Mitch became really smart and joined the dweebs.

So our group was a little small but we didn't care.

You probably wondering who's Dan. He's an old childhood friend of mine, and we are really close .

As I open my locker I can feel someone is watching me.

Oh, and I should tell you the Jocks and the Populars are both mean.

I can tell.....

Brayden is watching me.

I close my locker when I get pinned against them.

My books fall and I see its Brayden.

"Hey Nerd , how's a going?" He asks sarcastically.

"What do you care?" I snap at him.

"Oh, just wanted to know before I break you," he says with a evil smile on growing on his face.

He holds me with one hand and punches me in the gut with the other....

Oh god that hurts, I think as I fall to the ground.

Then I hear laughter fall on me. Bye everyone.

"What the hell?!" I hear a British accent say. "You don't mess with me!" I hear it again. Then I see who it is.....

Dan!!

He walks up to Brayden and punches him.

Brayden throws and punch but Dan doges it. Brayden trips Dan and Brayden kicks him. Dan jumps up, and slaps Brayden, giving me enough time to run. I run to the washroom. I locked myself in a stall and took out my pocketknife..

"One for thinking I could go one day without a fight, another one for thinking you would make it to first class unharmed, and the last one for being targeted..." I say as I feel the pain

"Why are you doing this?" I hear a voice ask.

I see a pair of dark shoes and dark jeans standing in front of my door.

Then it hit me.

"Will?? How are you here?" I sigh.

"There are shadows here ; I can come in whenever I want, and I wanted to see what's up, what happened?" he asks.

I explain everything, by then the blood has dried and I open the door, hiding the knife in my pocket. Before I can walk out, Will stops me. "Why?" he asks me.

I know he knows, I just know it. "I-I can't explain," I said and walked out of the washroom. I watched the door as I walked away, waiting to see if Will would follow me . Then again why would he.

I'll talk to him later but now I need to go.
