New School

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

Zack opens his eyes to find that the alarm clock his mom put in his room yesterday had gone off.

"A.I confirm, turn off the alarm clock."

[A.I] (Confirmed, time 6:30)

The room went silent, Zack was about to go back to sleep when he remembered something his mom told him yesterday.

'Zack, get ready after the alarm clock goes off or else.'

His eyes went wide open. Zack jumped straight out of bed and grabbed the prepared clothes he got from the wardrobe. He went to the batheoom and took a shower.

He wasn't scared of missing his first day in a school, what he was scared of was his mom when she's angry. The last time he made his mom mad was 3 years ago when he was 12, just when he started to go in kill zones.

Zack didn't do his chores for 3 days and his mom literally tried hunting him down in the Kill Zone the 4th day. Just imagine your mom chasing you in a Kill Zone with a chain saw she found after killing someone. Not a good though isn't it. Luckily Zack's dad was their to stop her before Zack lost one of his precious 100 lives.

After taking a shower Zack dressed up in his usual black clothes. When he went down to the first floor his mom was cooking breakfast and she was already ready to go. He didn't have to wait long, his mom placed the food on the dining table as Zack finished tying his shoes. It was bacon and egg for breakfast.

After they finished eating they went to the car and headed to Zack's new school. He didn't know what school he was attending since his mom hadn't told him. Suprisingly the way to his school was the same way he walked but instead the passed Flower Bed Park.

Zack hadn't noticed that right after Flower Bed Park was a school. He noticed the name plate in front of the school walls stating the school name in a bold yellow color, Golden Combat Academy. He remembered reading a paper about this academy. The school came in second for its skills in tournaments and for its effective but sort of dangerous training.

Zack got out of the car and grabbed his stuff from the passengers seat.

"All right Zack, this is your stop... once school is over give me a call and I'll pick you up okay."

"No thanks mom."

"What, you don't want me to pick you up?"

"Of couse I would, but can't you see the stares the student are giving me... I'll walk home, I need the execise and I've walked here yesterday."

"I see, alright then... have a good day sweetie."

Zack's mom drove off and Zack turned around to see that quite a few people were staring at him, luckily his hoodie was on. He could hear the students as he walked passed them.

"Isn't that the tranfer student?"

"Most likely, I heard he had to tranfer because he completely wiped out his old town."

"Doesn't that mean he's crazy strong."

"He won't last here if John messes with him."

"Oh yeah, John is the strongest in this school... both through numbers and skill."

After a while Zack couldn't hear what they said but the name John popped up, could it be the teens from yesterday go to this school too. He entered through the door to see a hallway with lockers and doors on both sides. He walked around for a little bit until he saw a door that said Office.

He opened it to find a room that reminded him of a hospital. He saw a lady at a desk looking up at him.

"Uh, hi I'm Zack... Zack Fero, I'm the tranfer student."

"Ah hello, call me Ms. Loren I'm one of the office workers you will see around the school," Ms. Loren handed Zack two sheets of paper one blue and one white, "the blue paper is your schedule and locker number for the whole school year and the white one is a layout of the whole school... you can go now, you have 10 minutes until you head to home room."

Zack thanked the staff attendant and went back to the hallway. He looked at the sheet to find that his locker number was 69... not that far from where he was, he started walking down the hallway while avoiding a few students.

Zack was able to get to his locker, the passcode was his date of birth. If he forgot his birthday then their was a finger and eye scan he could do on the locker.

He decided to leave a few sheets of blank paper and some pencils in the locker just in case. As Zack closed the door he felt a slight touch on his stomach and almost burst out laughing.

He quickly turned around to see a 5'4 boy with blonde hair behind him. He had a huge grin on his face and seemed to be really happy.

"It is you Zack!"

"Do I know you?"

"Ouch kinda makes sense, I visited your town Rocky Ridge two years ago, names Nathan... Nathan Croquell... I remembered people calling you the Grim Reaper and just seeing you in the Kill Zone sent shivers down my spine, after getting killed by you quite a few times I decided I'm better off here."

"Oh, your that dude that shot my cupcake when I was taking a break in the Kill Zone... I remembered the satisfaction of killing you after that."

"Still as dangerous as ever I see, so what's your first class Grim Reaper, I decided to hang with you from now on."

"I have advanced Kill Zone practice for first period and home room in class A-2... I don't mind if your going to stay with me but I want you to stay 5 feet away from me." Zack started to walk down the hallway once again and Nathan followed willingly.

"Yes, that means your with me for now... c'mon I'll take you to class, lemme see your schedule too," Zack decided to give him his schedule.

Nathan scanned it in a few seconds, "the rest of your other classes are all advanced, to bad your only with me for 2 out of 5 of your classes... also since your a transfer you get to go home earlier then we do today." Nathan gave Zack his schedule back.

Nathan led Zack to a double door near the end of the hall that said S.R, after the hall was a left and right turn.

"The S.R stands for simulation room, Kill Zone practice is in this room, it creates a simulation similar to how a Kill zone would look like... the teachers gives us actual weapons that way we can truly get a better feel on them in a real situation... they give us a shield bracelet/band so when the shield gets hit your out 3 times, lets go to home room we have 3 minutes."

Their was a second story to the school but they continued to the end of the hall and turned right.

"Our homeroom is the second to last at the end of the hall... wanna race their."

"No, I'd rather not get in trouble on the first day of school."

"Your no fun, what can a little running do to hurt us."

Zack and Nathan walked to the door. Zack found that this door was different from the others, almost as if happiness was radiating from inside the room.

"We have the most kind teacher in the school so he might be a little overbearing sometimes, don't piss him off though... his angry side is a sight to see, last time he was angry he sent 2 students to the hospital but people and their parents warned those 2 students to not mess with him but they did anyway."

They walked in to find a few students looking at them as well as the teacher. Their teacher was a guy that looked like a wizard, he should really shave off all that hair.

"Haha, hello Nathan... who's that boy behind you?"

"This is Zack Mr. Dolf, he's the transfer."

"I see, hello Zack, welcome to class A-2... this is your homeroom, after 30 minutes or so you guys will head to your first period... since were in the middle of the first sememster you hadn't missed anything really... give 3 interesting facts about you and then you can sit anywhere you want, Nathan you may take your seat."

Zack walked up to the front ot the class as Nathan sat in his seat.

"Hi, my name is Zack Fero... um, 3 interesting facts about me is... 1. I like sweets and the color black, 2. I come from Rocky Ridge, 3. I am 15 years old."

Mr. Dold started to clap his hands and the class followed lead, "that is very interesting Zack... you may take a seat."

Zack didn't want to tell them much about him so he gave 3 of the least interesting facts he could think of. He looked around and saw that Nathan sat at the back of the room close to an empty seat at the corner. Zack decided to sit at the corner since its conveniet isolated and he would rather talk to Nathan then a random person.

"Hey Nathan, do you know someone named John... people seem to say he's the strongest person here."

"Oh John... he inserted his dominance the instant he got hear by taking out people who disrespected him, to the teachers he's a good student but when the teachers aren't looking he attacks the students. He's like a sly fox, he was able to get all the juvenile delinquents in the school and became the leader. John is also in our first period."

"He sounds more like a gangster to me."

"Well, he sort of is."

"Alright, I wanna rest, we have like 25 minutes or so right."

"Yeah, I guess... don't worry I'll tell the students your resting if they come."

"That's kind of helpful actually, thanks."

"No problem."

Zack took out one of his earphones from his bag and played music. He layed down his head on the table and slightly closed his eyes shut.

After a while Zack felt tapping on his shoulder. He turned to see Nathan standing up.

"Were about to head to first period, get up."

"Alight then." Zack stood up and took his bag from the chair.

He gave one last look around the room and saw someone who wasn't their before. It was the same girl he saw yesterday at Flower Bed Park.

"Hey Nathan, who is that girl right their." Nathan turned to look where Zack was looking at.

"Haha, you have a good eye... that's Erina Everheart, she is known as the schools number one girl in all things, looks, brains, skills, she's got it all... the thing is she is hard to get."

"I didn't say I liked her did I, did you have to say the first part?"

"I didn't say you liked her did I, I could have been saying you can mark the strong from the weak which gives you a good eye."

". . ."

"Lost for words my friend?" Nathan gave a little chuckle then smiled at him.

"No, just thinking of how I'm going to take you out in the Kill Zone." Zack gave Nathan a smirk, Nathan's smile was wiped completely off.

". . ., alright less then a minute till 1st period, c'mon let's wait near the door instead."

"Sure, I'm getting kinda bored standing still anyway."

They headed to the door where half the class was waiting. They didn't have to wait long as the bell rang a few moments after.

*Rrrrriiiiiiinnggggg*
