(Strap down everyone cause this.. this is gonna be long- also first book woohoo! hope yall enjoy!)

Scott woke up that day, a nervous wreck he had no clue what to expect because he had been homeschooled all his years before. "Scott, Xornoth, Owen!!! YOUR BUS WILL BE HERE IN 45 MINUTES" Mrs. Major yelled up the stairs "ughhhhhh- another day of stupid freshmen year-" owen sighed to himself sitting up on his bed "New school, old grade i wonder if sophmore year at Mcc high will be any different than my old school..." xornoth mumbled to himself before getting up and choosing his typical E-boy outfit because thats just xornoth him and owen met in the hallway and went downstairs to wait for scott. 

~current time: 6:37 am~

scott went though his closet grabbing a white T-shirt with a pride flag print on it, a blue jacket and wideleg ripped jeans with light blue and cyan patches on them from spilling hair-dye on them even though he was just his basic boring blond self right now. The buss pulled up 37 minutes later and the three got on after saying bye to lauren. Scott was immediately affected by the noises on the bus. He bolted to his seat next to his twin brother  and took his headphones, turned on some music and just let the bus ride happen.

~When they arrive at the school, Current time: 6:54 am~

They all got up and hopped off the bus scott anxiously walking next to his brother. "youll be fine. just stick with m-" xornoth got cut off "Im not sticking with you and your group. I know your rep." Scott said plainly walking faster. "Cmon scott! youll be a total loner, your just a trans dude with boring blonde hair that likes to cross-dress way to much." Xornoth stated catching up with his brother "Just because im trans and have blonde hair that wears skirts and dresses sometimes or am proud of being gay that means ill be a loner" scott said offended glaring at his brother "Yes." Xornoth said very plainly. Scott just scoffed and walks away to his locker. 

~Current time: 7:03 am~

Scott opened his locker, which had a group of kids standing next to it in which he ignored. And just grabbed his stuff and organized it neatly in his locker, putting his headphones around his neck. He heard mutters and  and whispers from next to him, he closed his locker and before he got to walk away a pink haired girl jumped infront of him "Hi There!! Im Lizzie! Whats your name?!" The pink haired girl stated excitedly looking up at the tall hybrid. "S-scott.. scott major.." Scott stuttered and mumbles under his breath. "Oh! Major?? your xornoths brother correct?" lizzie asked "mmhhmm.." scott murmured "your not.. yknow.." lizzie questioned "No. im not like him, if anything im his polar opposite." Scott said as he moved his yellow messenger bag slightly to the side of him and his owl wings slightly fluttered hiding behind his back. "Oh well good! he doesnt have the best reputation in this town does he." lizzie says "More like doesnt have the best reputation in the country." scott scoffed "Well uhm, friends?" lizzie askes holding out her hand "Yeah.. yeah friends!" scott said sounding brighter as he said the last part "What do you have 1st period?" lizzie asked him. 

Scott opened his bag pulling out his schedule "Oh uhh..." he said thinking skimming over the top of his schedule "oh! uh, chemistry room 508.." he said "We have the same first class! lets compare so we know whose classes we are in together!" Lizzie said excitedly. They compared schedules and were in 3 other classes together, P.E,  Spanish, and mythology "Oh also you have herbology second period with my best friend shelby!" lizzie says "Wait.." his voice trailed off "Shelby goes here?" he questions. "You know her?!" lizzie says shocked "mhm!" scott says before looking down the hall and was shocked while seeing shelby then jump onto him "HIYA SCOTTY!!!!" shelby yells. lizzie thinking hed be uncomfortable or had just met her earlier but she was shocked at his response "Shelbs!!! Hey how was your night?!" scott asks excitedly before picking up shelby spinning her around "Good!!" shelby replies excited as scott sets her down "How long have you two known eachother?" lizzie asks curiously. Shelby counts on her fingers eyeing scott "uhhhhhhh- 8..no..9..? nonono! 10! ten years!" shelby says "Sounds about right-" scott states "WAITTTTTT- is this the blondie your always telling us about shrub?" lizzie asks "Yes maam!" shelby says "w-wait y-y-you talk about me to people i dont know-?!" scott says "Yessssss- but only good things i promise! and they dont know about the- the thing.." shelby says to him "Kay.. aslong as you dont tell others about that when im not there.." scott says trailing off "Im not gonna ask right now." Lizzie replies confused

"Anyways!! ill lead you to chemistry!" lizzie says "Bye shelbs!!" scott says being dragged off by lizzie "Bye scott!!" shelby says waving at him and walking away

~Joels pov~

I sat in chemistry class waiting for lizzie to get there, she didnt normally take this long.. "why am i so worried.." i thought to myself anxiously but then i looked up hearing the door fling open "Ah lizzie! there you are, and whose this?" I heard Mrs. Pris ask lizzie "Sorry we were almost late Mrs. Pris! but this is scott, the new student!" Lizzie said excitedly and out of breath "Ah! well lizzie you can head to your seat, and scott, welcome in! Im Mrs. Pris feel free to sit yourself whereever your comfortable!" Mrs. Pris said enthusiastically 

~Scotts Pov~

I stood there anxiously infront of the teacher as she told me to seat myself, i looked around the room and saw lizzie raise her arm at a table with a brunette boy with a green stripe in his hair, in which i just so happened to know. I smiled and made my way to their table at the back of the room sitting down next to joel "Sup scott" joel said calmly looking at me. Lizzie looks purely confused as i grabbed joels hand jokingly "Hiya Joel! How was the sleepover with shrub?" i asked him "good, my mom yelled at us for raiding the pantry tho-" joel replied looking down at our hands "Typical" i replied followed by a chuckle "DO YOU KNOW ALL OF MY FRIENDS?!" lizzie blurted out looking at me "Oh uh- hah about that-" Joel said looking at her nervously "Joel.. how do you AND shelby know the new kid.." lizzie asked glaring at him "Lizzie its alright ive known joel for 12 years-" I replied looking at her "WHAT?!" she almost yelled. Joel just chuckled 

~Lizzies Pov~ 

I was purely confused at how theyve known eachother for so long but was also relieved that scott already knew two- well now three people out of our group. The three of us continued chatting until we were interrupted by Mrs. Pris "Alright alright everyone lets start class now-" Mrs. Pris stated looking at the class and started on with the lesson i would occasionally look over at joel who was clearly not paying attention and scott who was taking a crap ton of notes the entire time just occasionally looking iup to see if the teacher had written more down "This kid is a workaholic...' i thought to my self followed by a mental sigh

~After Class, Current time: 8:14 am~

*Ringing Bell*

~Shelbys Pov~

I waited in the hallway seeing joel and scott come out of chem with lizzie, i ran upto them and jumped onto joel, lizzie looked.. jealous? "Hi shrub" joel said looking down at me in his arms chuckling "You two never change" scott said looking at the two of us "blah blah blah- and you do?" i mocked him "Hey!! ugh- your lucky your my best friends-" scott replied to me slowly fluttering his wings which he hid behind him probably to hide them so he gets less attention but then i saw him.. I heard joel scoff as he rolled his eyes before setting me down and walking upto him "J-joel-!!" scott stuttered,  i held him back 

~Joels pov~

"Graceffa." He sneered looking into joeys eyes which were bright green and had an oddly nice contrast by his bright red parrot wings behind him "Beans." Joey sneered back at him "Look if your here to pick a fight with-" i got cut off "He wont hurt him while im around joel its fine, go back to your little nerd group." Xornoth glared at me before nodding his head towards scott shelby and lizzie. I nodded before walking back to them "you lucked out" Lizzie said to me but what did xor mean?" lizzie asked him "He was talking about me." Scott scoffed at lizzie "what?" but your-" lizzie was cut off "yeah. im 'new' but joey and me.. ugh .." he pulled up his sleeve to show lizzie the scar with little tiny scars around it where stictches were "He caused this. thats all im saying." Scott said before pulling down his sleeve and looking away.

~Lizzies Pov~

I was shocked at was scott just showed me, that was a huge scar, and stitches?! my mind was racing "what did these three go through with him.. " my mind trailed off "Lizzie...? Lizzieeee LIZZIE!" i heard joel finally yell "wait- uh- wha- what?" i stuttered looking up at him, a subtle blush on my face as i looked into his dark hazel eyes with an emerald green hue "you alright?" he asked me as i continued to stare in his eyes "Oh! uh yeah, just got lost in my thoughts!" i replied to him my voice cheering up again "Thats good! you had us worried for a second" he replied 

~Joels pov~ 

"I stared into her light blue eyes that constarsed with her pink hair as she smiled at me i blushed looking down at her with a soft smile on my face, our moment got cut off due to the loud bell ringing, echoing down the hall "well we have to get to class so ill see you guys at lunch!" i said befroee heading down the hallway, my mind racing "was she blushing at me.." i thought to myself  "ughh her eyes are so gorgeous.. and her hair.." my mind trailed off until i ran into something "Agh!! im so so sorry-!" i said to the person i bumped into "Its alright dude, daydreaming again?" fwhip said before looking up at me from his phone "How can i not.. her gorgeous pink hair and.. her bright blue eyes and.. her pale but tan skin with her light blue scales and..." my voice trailed off thinking about her "Dude just confess already." fwhip said glaring at me with a soft smile 

~Fwhips Pov~

Joel was so obsessed with lizzie i dont even know how hes able to be around her. "But i cant fwhippppp.." joel whined looking down at the floor "Youll be fine dude- now lets get to maths before we get detention. again." i said before grabbing joels arm and dragging him down the hallway to class. "Hm. Tay. Beans. your not late for once, im shocked." the teacher said pulling down his glasses to stare at us, we both just gave him an awkward chuckle "Take your seats." the teacher scoffed as we both sat down next to eachother "Hiya Brother!" my brother sausage said to me "Oh hey sausage!" i said, playfully grabbing his arm "Settle down class!" the teacher said after others started entering and taking their seats before he started class.

~Joeys Pov~

"Ughh i cant belive joel and xor stopped me from getting to that homeschooled.. ugly.. weird.. neurodivergent.. ugh!!!" i thought to myself as i sat in herbology as our teacher rambled on about some stupid class project "Now class this will be worth 45% of your herbology grade this year so i suggest you pay attention. Especially you Graceffa i dont want to see you this summer." Mrs. Tiff said before looking in my direction "Yeah yeah.." i scoffed back at her and let my mind trail off again. The teacher kept talking about our herbology project and grade and blah blah blah until the bell rang.

~no ones pov~

They all walked out of  their classes and met up by lizzies locker Joel, Shelby and Scott busted into a conversation about their weekend and what they plan to do, It was mostly shelby and joel speaking, scott kinda just stayed quiet and listened into what their plans are.

~Joels pov~

Me and shelby were talking to scott about our weekend plans when we both noticed he was kinda quiet. We looked at eachother and nodded "Hey uhm.. lizzie?" shelby said and looked at lizzie who was talking to fwhip "Yeah?" lizzie said back "We will uh- be right back alright?" i said looking at lizzie leaving her and fwhip confused "Alright!" lizzie said enthusiastically looking at us three. I grabbed scotts arm and dragged him into an empty classroom shelby followed behind us.

~Lizzies Pov~ 

"I wonder what thats about.?" i said to fwhip "Im not sure but who even is that blondie?? "Oh thats the new kid! ill introduce you when they come back!" i replied to him smiling "Alright!" fwhip said before we continued our conversation about theater club in which fwhip was apart stage crew and im an actress

~Shelbys pov~ 

We stood there in the empty classroom joel questioning scott "Why are you so quiet dude? you already know me shelby and liz" joel asked him "T..t..t..too m..a..ma....ny.. many.. people.. w.. were a..r..around.." scott shuttered holding back his tears avoiding eye contact with either of us i just leaned over and hugged him, he tensed up at the movement but then fell into the embrace joel joining us comforting him "Hey.. i undertsand your anxious alright? its your first day and its overwhelming.. and overstimulating. i completely undertsand okay.?" joel said to him in a very calm voice "mm..mmhhmmm.." scott murmed burying his head into my hair as i hugged the two tighter "Lets get this day over with alright.? we can walk you home after school." i said to him trying to change the subject away from his anxiety so he didnt feel like he was making it 'all about him' and feeling bad for us having to listen to him "Yeah, lets go to third period and meet up at lunch" joel said calmly lifting up scotts head a little "O..okay.. i actually have herbology with you shelbs.. wanna walk together..?" he said quietly looking down at me stretching out and fluttering his large owl wings "Of course! see you at lunch joel!" i said looking back and waving "See you at lunch shrub!" joel said before walking out of the classroom after us and walking back over to lizzie and fwhip

~Fwhips pov~

"Oh hey joel! what was that about??" i questioned joel "Oh uhm- nothing or atleast its not my place to share right now" joel said before looking at me "Oh okay! well we should head to class, shall we?" i said looking back at him " I agree! lets head to class" lizzie said smiling before grabbing my and joels arms and running down the hallway to the history classroom, the three of us sat down in history and began talking before the bell rang and class started, everyone attention diverted to the teacher as the class trailed off into history as our history teacher began to ramble on and on about ancient artifacts and stuff.

~Pixls Pov~ 

'an ancient artifact.. a crowned and jeweled skull hidden deep in the foggy swamp somewhere, in a wooden shack where all is left is, the skull, wizarding robes, a wig, a bed, and a couple empty shelves and spider webs. This artifact has been found by one other, the last name, 'Major' I heard it had stolen one of his eyes and the robes were of an ancient wizard whom gave said 'Major' a magical eye in replacement for the one the skull stole'  I wrote in my notebook while waiting for herbology class to start. I saw shelby walk into the room with a new kid, his hair was blonde and a decent length, just above his shoulders with flowing layers cut into it, one of his eyes a bright green with a cyan hue, an eyepatch covering his other eye "Pixl!" I heard Shelby yell as she sat down next to me with the new kid

~Scotts pov~

we walked into the herbology classroom as shelby shouted an unfamiliar name "Pixl!" she yelled dragging me to a spot next to a long haired brunette with a white button up, brown trousers and a red ribbon tied around his neck, a black and brown patched jacket draped over his shoulders "Hello shelby, shocked you arnt late today." he said in an odd tone looking back down at his old, burnt leather journal "Im not alwayys late!!" shelby replied back to him sitting down I stayed quiet setting my bag down and taking out my colorful notebook with flowers and a stag painted onto it. i started taking notes as the herbology teacher began to talk about a project (the one joey spaced out during) i listened in and took notes on every little word she spoke, I. Could. Not. Fail. i scoffed to myself in my head trying not to space out despite how boring the lecture was.
