This chapter has some mild swearing.

"34...27...18..." I tried the lock again. With a quick tug and with a click I could get into my locker. I look up after getting my books out and see Amanda standing above me.

"Hey Gen have you seen the new kid yet?" Amanda said to me while flipping her perfectly curled strawberry blonde hair. "No why?" I asked. Our school got a new kid every few months so there was nothing new. "I heard that he looks like a rat." She giggled. "Does he really look like a rat?" I asked wild eyed. I remembered seeing a rat in a subway once and it was ugly. "Can someone really be that ugly?" I think to myself. "I think so I haven't seen him yet." Amanda said. "Come on let's hurry up we're going to be late for Drama." I say after closing my locker. "Oh sure... or you just want to see Ben." She said it in a teasing way. I didn't mind it. Amanda was my best Friend. She knew I had a crush on Ben and I knew Amanda has a crush on Issac. "Maybe I don't want to have detention with Clearwater." I reply. "Good point Lets go." Amanda said as she rushed off. "Hey wait up!" I call out as I close my locker and race after her.

When we reach the class room me and Amanda are in a heated argument over who has a better fake British accent. "NO! I DO!" Amanda yelled. "NO YOU DON'T!" I yelled back. We look at each other for a second and burst out laughing. That's when we see everyone, well almost everyone staring at us. "Gen. It looks like the new kid. He does look like a rat." Amanda whispered. I saw him. God. He is ugly. An actually rat might be cuter then him. I sit down at the table with my back to him. "Where's Clearwater?" Amanda asks. I looked around and for the first time I noticed that he wasn't there. It's just Rat boy, Ben, Issac, Julia, Amanda, and me. (authors note: Yes this is their entire class.) "Who knows? Who cares." Julia said barely looking up from her phone. She is your typical Goth chic. "I'm going to let the office know that we don't have a teacher." Issac stands up and says. I just shrug and I pulled out a book I was reading when I suddenly felt a hand on hair.

"WHAT THE HELL!" I jump up and scream. There stands rat boy with a clump of my hair in his hand. I reached up and felt my black hair to make sure didn't leave anything in it. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Everyone staring at me and Amanda whispers "He shouldn't have done that..." "Wha-What are ya talking about?" Rat boy says while trying to hide the evidence. "YOU PULLED SOME OF MY HAIR OUT! LOOK ITS IN YOUR HAND BASTARD!" I get right up in his face as say with a growl "Why the hell do you do that?!" "Baby... Calm down.." he stutters. "Baby?! WHAT THE HELL! YOU STUPID BASTARD! WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR HEAD!" I scream at him. I am just about to slug him across the face when Ben stands up and pushes me away from him. "Gen. You need to calm down." He says. I realize how stupid I was being. "I'm trying..." I said as I clench my fists. I take a few breaths in and I calm down. "Sorry. I have anger issues." Rat boy seems to be gloating from the reaction he got. "Wow this kid hasn't even been here a full day and an entire class hates him. His life is going to hell here."
