[Fear's POV]

I watched my birth father make a few calls while I "got ready" for school. High School, finally. Freedom from Mrs Control-Freak and Mr Never-Here I call "Mom" and "Dad", which is hilarious every rebirth as immortals don't normally tend to have parents, me and Time included, but some occasionally do.

I tie my shoelaces and pick up my phone to check my messages (when we go back, I'm patenting phones. It will be infinitely quicker than sending scrolls via messengers). My friend Tris said that the gang (my group of friends, not what you're thinking) were meeting at the hangout, which was a junkyard full of nearly-destroyed, hazardously sharp-edged half-busted cars. I never want to go there any more than I have to, but I can see the advantage of privacy and secrecy. I rolled my eyes and replied that I'd really LOVE (hate) to go but I had school. Tris replied that I should just ditch 'cause I got an IQ of 158, but I pointed out that my mother will find out and I will be invariably killed (not in those words) for giving her wrinkles.

I really don't like them, but better to keep your enemies close. Anyway, I'm the only one keeping them under control (I may or may not be using my major fear-striking aura to stop them. You never know). They are rather innocent, but they like to believe that mocking people makes them stronger, and I avoid those kind of battles. Hey, I'm only here to observe, not join. I hate bullies, but I'm the only one keeping a leash on them. Not even their parents know what they do. So long as they pass (albeit barely), they don't care.

Disaster averted, I packed my schoolbag and grabbed an apple "dad-style" (snort) and tossed it to him. Before he could lecture me, I hopped into the car and asked Marcus (our driver) to take me to my school. Marcus is my compatriot, after he got over the initial fear I cause. When I have to go do something without informing mom, I ask him to cover for me. If he had been an immortal, then maybe I would've had him as one of my inner friends. Typically, I only have a few. Antisocial, who me?

As soon as we arrived, I felt a slight jolt pass from my spine to my fingertips and fought to keep the smile off my face. "Remember," I think to myself."No one likes school, especially the high-ups." Either way, I got out of the car too quickly, but I'm excited for a good reason. I know that jolt anywhere.

Time is in my new school, and I have to go see her.

A/N: Well, that's officially chapter 1 of the story. As you can see, Fear is a bit of a geek... and maybe a bit obsessive... but don't let it fool you. You mess with his friends, remember that he is Fear for a reason. Also, please note that Time is not a stuck up selfish person. I never add this to the story yet, but she tends to isolate herself after she watched the people she cared about, die in front of her. Fear met her after she decided not to get too emotionally attached to anyone again. That's why he always goes looking for her. He doesn't want her to be alone.

...(depression, yay 🙄)

Sorry, that was way too deep for me, so, on that little bombshell, I'll see you in the next Chapter.

P.S: Do say what immortal/mortal you want to be, your personality and description if you want me to add you to the story.

Denograde out ;)
