Marcus told his parents moving now is a bad idea. He told them. Many times. Awkward and weirdo (that's what he thinks of himself), he knew he wouldn't make a lot of friends. Not that he had many before. He's just not good around people. He talks to himself a lot and rambles when he's nervous.

Kairn seems like those mysterious bad boy types. Like those cool guys in black and white aesthetic pictures. Distant and solitary. It looks like he gets along with everyone and would talk to you if you talk to him, but he prefers to be alone. Girls dig him as well. But people just can't seem to figure him out. He doesn't really care about anything; it seems. When he looks at Marcus, he must think 'what a weirdo'. Yeah, that's what Marcus thinks.

They started introducing themselves. Now it's his turn.
He looked at me, his indifferent gaze resting on me for a few seconds and said, 
"I'm Kairn." And turned away. 

He's weird. But I'm probably weirder.

"We call him Kai," his friend said. He gave a curt nod.

The Awkward Boy's Crush (BXB)

Before I could even deal with what was transpiring, I was on the hard ground. Sharp pain shot up from my left bicep and elbow. I shut my eyes and my brain stopped processing by instinct while I was going down. Everything ensuing in a mere few seconds. All I recall is them trying to score, us defending, crowd, shouting, gasps and my fall. But that's not it. What baffled me was, I was positive I was falling face first earlier. My hands shot up by instinct and I believed I was going to break something, most probably my nose. Or sustain a hairline fracture in my arm, trying to protect my face.
