*Ash's POV*
I just laid on my bed staring at the ceiling thinking mom loves and cares for me. You can't choose who you're related to but you can choose who your family is and I've made one. It's time to destroy and get rid of the bad memories to make room for the new happy ones. So I go into my own world to destroy it and ignore everyone and everything around me until it's gone.

*Lucas's POV*
I get home from the skate park to see dad cooking dinner which was rare cause mom absolutely loves to cook. "Where's mom?" "Recording or editing one. Hey, you ready for your first day of school tomorrow?" I nod and walk up to my room to see ash laying on her bed asleep cuddled up with Charzy and smile.

*Ash's POV*
Everything is black until I'm awake in the offices and see the room full of dead bodies wait a minute these are the dead bodies of my family and friends. I fall onto my knees and cry then I hear a faint voice and I wake up. Only to see Lucas hovering over me "Where am I? I can't go back to that school I just can't-" Lucas cuts me off by putting a hand over my mouth. "Ash, our first day isn't until tomorrow you were having a nightmare that's all." "What, so a guy didn't see me in my pjs and I didn't get coffee poured all over me and didn't get kicked out of the school for beating the living crap out of her?" He shakes his head no and I let out a sigh of relief. "Sounds like you had fun anyway dinners ready." I get up and head downstairs to eat. While we're waiting on dinner I whisper to Lucas "Hey, Lucas wanna sneak out to the skate park after mom and dad go to sleep?" He smirks and nods but that immediately goes away when mom and dad walk in. We head upstairs to our room and I call misty and she agrees to join us for some late night fun before school tomorrow. So we go to sleep early and set alarms for midnight.

*Time skip to midnight still Ash's POV*
We get up grab our helmets and boards and sneak downstairs and out of the back door. Once I shut the door it automatically locks but we left our window open so we're fine. We toss our boards over the fence and hop over and meet misty by the front door and she hops on her bike and we ride together to the skate park. After about two hours we tire ourselves out. "Hey guys, wanna go swimming in the lake by my house?" We all smirk and nod so misty hops on her bike and me and Lucas hop on our boards and ride off to Misty's house. When we arrive she turns to us and says "Ok guys, we have to be quiet cause my parents are having a few people sleeping over." "Got it. Do you happen to know how many people are here?" Lucas asks and she shakes her head no and we hop the fence to the backyard and run over to the small dock. Misty left us towels on the dock so we're fine. We all run and jump into the chilling water and swim around for about two hours and get out and lay our towels down on the grass and stargaze while the sun rises and letting the summer heat dry our soaked clothes. We're having fun picking out the disappearing constellations with misty practically cuddling with Lucas. As we watch the sun rise we hear someone clear their throat. We look where the noise came from and we see none other than Ross standing there with his arms crossed. "So, what are you three doing out here swimming hm?" "Oh, you know just having a little before school fun." Lucas answers and me and misty facepalm. He looks at us "What? Ooooh, was I not supposed to tell him?" We shake our heads and realized that Ross was gone so we get up and leave while misty climbs into her window. While me and Lucas hop back over the fence and ride to our house and climb into the window, get changed, and pretend to be asleep cause it's 5:30am the time our parents get up. We get up 30 minutes later and head to school with misty, and Ryan who we met the day before yesterday. When we get there Ryan asks "Yo, why do you three look so tired?" Lucas answers "We stayed up all night at the skate park and swimming." "Why didn't you guys invite me?" "Sorry bro but it slipped our minds." "Naw it's cool guys. But next time invite me to the party." "We will man." We walk into the school and everyone looks at me probably cause I've been kicked out of 30 schools. I made Lucas and misty a promise to say more than a week at this school. I head to my locker after I pick up my schedule.

*Time skip to lunch*
I walk into the cafeteria to see girls swooning over me and every guy shivers with fear as I walk by to get my food and head to my table. I like when everyone knows not to mess with me. "Ash, why is every girl swooning over you and why is every guy scared of you?" Ryan asked really confused "Probably because they think I'm gay which I'm not and I've been kicked out of 30 schools." He looks shocked but doesn't question it "Anyway this is my best friend Salem can he join our group?" Sure, I don't see why not as long as you don't piss me off we're cool." He nods his head sitting down and we continue eating with our new buddy.

*Time skip to after school*
As we're walking out I get a txt from mom
Xtext convo startX
Mom: you, Lucas, and misty come straight to the offices when you get out of school
Me: why? Also why are you over there?
Mom: we'll tell you three when you get here
Me: ok we're on our way now
Xtext convo endX
"That's weird?" "What?" "Mom wants us and misty to head straight to the offices when we get out of school." "Did she say why?" "No" "Well then let's go." We arrive with Salem following to see a smirking Ross and angry parents it clicks and I figure out that Ross took a picture while we were arguing. "Misty, sweetheart can you please explain why Ross found y'all swimming in our backyard last night?" "Dad, we weren't doing anything like that." We poker face trying not to make it seem like we didn't do it well mainly Lucas and misty cause I've aced that ability. Mom asks "Oh yeah, then why does Ross have a picture then hm?" "He probably photoshopped it." I answer with confidence as the two keep up the facade. "Ok, answer me this why do you have a tattoo on your right hip then?" Ross asked me suspiciously "I don't have a tattoo on my right hip." He smirks and says "Then why can I see it?" Then the facade vanishes as I realized that I was wearing a half shirt and slightly pushing the right side of my shorts down in anger exposing the top part of the tattoo which was a wolf howling at the moon. I flush a crimson red cause I may have a crush on Salem and pull my shorts back up. "How did you even see it?" "I have my ways, anyway what is it?" "I'm not going to answer that." "I'm surprised that you two didn't see it but then again it is kinda small." "Ross don't you fucken dare."It's a wolf howling at the moon." "ROSS YOUR DEAD!" I scream and chase him till he locks himself in his office then we head home. Our parents ground us from electronics and cellphone for a week.
