Chapter One
Edited
"I told you there was going to be a new kid... What'd I say?"
"Who is that?"
"Nobody knows. He just... showed up. Even the teachers are confused..."
There was a group gathering around a boy, murmuring in confusion. He didn't seem too intimidated by the attention. If anything, he seemed annoyed. There was a certain stiffness in the way he stood, a certain pride, that made others wary.
A small boy, who's long legs seemed to defy his height, stepped through. The crowd parted for him. It was the head cheerleader, whom practically ruled the school.
He paused in front of the new boy, dark green eyes flicking up and down, scanning him. The smallest smirk played on those pretty lips. "And you are?"
"My name is Seto." His voice... it was so beautiful. It was smooth and deep, and though quiet, it was audible by all. In a room full of yelling, you would be able to pick out his voice. A soft accent added the perfect exotic hint, making it especially exquisite.
"Nice to meet you. They call me Sub. Welcome to our hell." Sub offered a lopsided grin and extended his hand. Seto shook it awkwardly, making the cheerleader laugh softly. "You and me. We're gonna be good friends. See you around, Seto." And with that, Sub disappeared back into the crowd.
Even with Sub's approval, the crowd still seemed nervous. No one wanted to approach him.
Seto seemed almost flustered. He blinked a few times, then gave his head a violent shake. He walked through the crowd, ignoring how they all practically ran to get out of his way. "Excuse me," He muttered as he brushed past a shorter brunette. He ended up catching their gaze, those beautiful dark blue eyes twinkling. The smaller boy blushed furiously, breaking the eye contact immediately. Something close to a sheepish grin played on the serious seeming teenager's face, and he continued on his way.
Once he disappeared through the doors of the school, the chatter started up once again.
"What was his name? 'Seto'? That's so exotic!"
"Did you hear that voice? Jesus Christ..."
"Those eyes! Ah! I love me some blue eyes."
"Eyes... Blue? His eyes were brown, weren't they?"
"N-No... They were blue." The boy who Seto had run into stuttered out.
The questioner crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. Everyone fell silent, watching, waiting to see what would come of the interaction. "Uh huh. His eyes literally changed colors when he looked at you, Ty. And they started glowing. That's not normal."
"Mitch," A blonde boy muttered, putting a hand on the Canadian's shoulder. "Stop being paranoid. You sound crazy." He turned to look at the crowd, offering a smile. "Come on guys. Mitch is just playing around. There's nothing wrong with him. He's, like, sixteen. Let's act our age and play nice, okay?"
Just then, the bell rang. The crowd dispersed quickly, leaving behind a group of boys, who let out collective sighs.
"Saved by the bell." One muttered.
"He seems pretty cool..." A tall brunette offered, his golden eyes shining. "I'd like to get to know him. What do you think, Ty?" He looked down at the teenager, who was still flustered from his encounter with Seto. He laughed as Ty ducked his head, hiding his blush. "Still embarrassed? Cute."
"I agree with Mitch. He's... weird."
"And he's so tiny!"
"Jason, I wouldn't be talking. You're literally five foot. Doctors are actually worried for your health."
"At least I'm not freakishly tall, Ian!"
"Dude. I'm five foot ten. That's average."
"Shut up, all of you." Adam gave them each a stern look. "We're getting off track. Ian, Jason, stop flirting. Jerome, stop sucking up. You guys are getting worked up over a child. All we know is his name. Let's at least learn a bit more before jumping to conclusions, alright?"
Reluctant nods. And then they all started to talk among themselves, making a plan on how they were to befriend this mysterious boy.
Though, it wasn't much of a secret, for a certain 'child' was listening in. Those purple eyes were cold and hard. "Interesting," They forced out through grit teeth. "Very interesting..."
