Today was a long and unbearable. Classes were so boring that Nate slept through many of them, not really caring much if he should pay attention or not. While dazing off, he was certain that he heard a few words like 'test' and 'Wednesday' and 'attention'. God knows if those words were directed towards him or not but it wasn't like he cared much at the moment. It seemed like every time he slept or dozed off, the world just didn't seem to matter anymore.
The bell rung in his ear and Nate woke up fiercely; jumping off his chair and falling over, hitting the ground underneath him.
On the ground, he laid on his back, eyes closed and biting his lower lip, his throat feeling odd for some reason, like he had swallowed something but didn’t think much of it. He opened one eye at the time and looked up. Well, class was over. He pushed himself up into a sitting position and shook his head before pushing himself upwards into a stance. He brushed off his clothing to remove the dust from his clothing and looked around. The class was empty and who could blame the students? Most teens hated being in class so as soon as the bell rung, everyone escaped from this nasty place. He began his walk out of the class, only then did he realize something important. He had swallowed his stride gum!
“No worry†he whispered to himself as he pulled out a pack of gum and opening it. He had none yet. “Ah crap…..â€
One thing that people needed to know about Nathaniel was that he had a slight addiction to gum which started when he was overly bulimic; he used to use it to make his breath smell alright after doing what he did. Because of this over use of gum, he began to overly love it.
He scurried into his pockets, searching for any change, any change at all to get his need of the day. All he was able to find was $0.65, far from what he needed. Well, maybe he could find some in his locker?
He sped-walked to his locker, opening it quickly and hitting the guy next to him in the head with the door. He heard a female voice say “Watch it, ass!†but he didn’t pay much attention it. It’s not like he cared much about other people’s needs. Nathan found a few gum packs, looking into them and if they were empty, threw them behind him, not caring whether or not he hit other people.
“Guuuuuuuum……†He whimpered under his breath as he kept looking.

Sara knelt down in front of her locker digging through her bag as she tossed books into the open door. She wasn't having the greatest day. But for Sara, any day where she was actually inside the school was a bad day. This one just happened to be particularly lame for her. And she was hot to. She had worn a turtle neck again. She was getting used to wearing them now that she needed to hide something, but it was still bloody hot in it. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail in a lame attempt to reduce the heat on the back of her neck.
Behind her, she heard a small commotion, people bitching someone rummaging through their locker. She pulled out her math textbook and glanced behind her quickly. Just some kid digging through his locker, pissing off everyone around him. She frowned. Some people needed to learn some respect. Turning back to her task, she started throwing papers into her locker. She had long since given up trying to keep it neat and tidy. Maybe thats what she would do. Clean her locker today. Hmm.
Something hit her in the back of the head. She turned around, staring at the guy now searching frantically through his locker. Her eyes fell to the empty gum packet. Little bugger.... Today was NOT the day to piss Sara off. Nu uh... Another pack hit her chest. Oh hell no... She stood, turning to face him, and before another thought left her head, her hand whipped up and she threw her book at the back of his head. ~Wow... Psycho Sara is Psycho~<3

Truth sat in the halls writing in his leather bound journal, he was in his own little world. He wore a short sleeve button up shirt with a black tie tied loosely around his neck with the shirt tail tucked into the front of his black jeans. His white snake skin boots tapped to the imaginary beat in his head.
Journal entry
`My quest to understand this school is going very well i feel like i am making progress. The way the students act is very predicable.`
Truths writing was halted by a empty pack of gum that landed in his journal. Cursorily he picked it up and inspected it for gum but found nothing he tossed it to his side and looked up. In front of him to see a boy scrambling threw his locker. Raising an eyebrow he smiled a scared smile. His Glasgow smile made him seem psychotic and the scars on his face only backed up this, if he was or not was up to everyone around him. He picked his pen up and was about to begin writing when a girl ran up and sent her book flying toward the boys head.
`I retract my previous statement.`
Truth stood up and placed his journal in his back pack and walked toward the boy and girl holding the empty pack of gum. He waited for awhile cause he figured the boy and girl would have some words. When they where done he grabbed the boys hand and placed the empty pack of gum in it and smiled.

He continued scurrying through his locker, not paying any attention to the world around him. Sure, he must have looked quite dumb throwing empty gum packets everywhere and people were most likely staring. But at the moment, all that mattered was to ease his craving for a minty gum to chew on.
At least that’s how he was thinking before it him. Yup, it literally hit him and in the form of a pretty large and hardcover book. But before he could realize what had even happened; Nathan could feel him head suddenly going forward because of a strong push in the back of his head which was also very painful at the same time. He hit him face into his own books in his locker and lost complete balance, falling backwards onto the floor beneath him. He landed on his back, a little disoriented to even realize what had happened to him. It was all too fast and blurry to him.
He stayed on the ground for maybe five seconds but it felt way longer to him. He opened is eyes and looked around him, seeing all the faces on him and hearing all the confused whispers. Embarrassed, he shot himself up into a sitting position, blushing and looking at everyone angrily.
“What are you all looking at??!!!†he snapped, the people quickly realizing he was fine and walking away one by one.
He stood up, holding his head with his right hand. ‘What happened there?’ he thought as he looked around.
Near his locker lay a book on the ground, it appeared to have fallen or been thrown with the way it was left on the ground, pages facing the floor and possibly being bent as well. Also, across the hall was a young girl, looking quite angry with gum packets on the ground near her. Oh, he knew what happened alright and he was not pleased!
“You!!!†he pointed towards the girl. “The hell is your problem, woman?!†He usually never used the term ‘woman’ for a girl, but this time he couldn’t hold himself back. He was waaay too angry. “Oh wow, a few gum packets! You didn’t have to hit me with a text book!†he pointed towards the book to the ground.
He was fuming, his face red from anger, his green eyes contrasting with his red hair and face.
That was when he felt someone grasp his hand and place something in it. Confused, he looked at the male and then towards his hand. What could he possibly want to give him? They didn’t know each other after all so it was just odd. He removed his fingers to see an empty gum packet.
“Umm...what’s this for?†he asked, still the same confused look on his face as he looked from him to the angry girl.

Sara couldn't help but smirk as the little bugger fell to the ground. She let out a soft whistle. Damn, she had some good aim didn't she? She laughed quietly. And he was down for the count~! A whole 5 seconds passed before he pushed himself up into a sitting position.
And the little buggers face was all red!! O____________O Sara had a soft spot for all things that blushed! Her expression softened for a moment <3 But then he opened that big mouth of his and ruined it, pissing her off even more. The small crowd that had gathered slowly began to walk away. She watched them go, her arms crossed over her chest. Damn... No fun...
There was one guy who didn't leave with them though. She focused her attention on him, ignoring the little bugger she had thrown the book at. Well didn't he look interesting? The guy looked psycho. Wouldn't that be fun?~ She studied him. She didn't know who he was, and that bugged her. Sara prided herself on having fought most of the students in the school, but this was one she had never seen before.
"You!!! The hell is your problem, woman?! Oh wow, a few gum packets! You didn't have to hit me with a text book!"
"Shut up little boy, nobody cares." She didn't even bother to spare him a glance. Her voice was hard, mean. Ya, it was rude. What of it? It wasn't meant to be. It was only meant to shut him up while she figured out what she wanted to do next. The other guy though was on the move though, her attention on him. She couldn't help but smile as he pushed an empty gum packet into the little buggers hand. She chuckled softly.
From there, her gaze fell to her book on the floor. They better not make her pay for it because it was bent. After all, it wasn't her who had done it, it had been his head. She stepped forward, her hand lifting to plant on the buggers chest and push him hard out of her way as she bent over to pick up the book. Ya, so she was mean to the new kid. So what? It wasn't like she was being REALLY mean...
She straightened, sending the psycho guy a small smile and a nod, and then turning back to the guy she had thrown a book at. "I'm Sara..." See? She could be... kinda nice... <3 She directed her comment to both of them though, but her hardened gaze remained on the little bugger. Oh boy~She was a bully today wasn't she? She didn't mean to be, she was just having a bad day, and had found a convienient outlet. Poor him</3

Truth smiled and scratched the back of his head, this girl and boy were very interesting to him. Maybe cause they where the first people at this school he had some interaction with. They seemed to be apart of the evident chaos at school but also part of the solution to stop violence with violence, very puzzling indeed.When the boy asked him "whats this for?" Truth pointed to the boy the boy and then made the movement of something hitting his chest with his hands.
He watched the girl as she glanced over to him. She seemed very bossy and he made a mental note to include her in his journal later.After the boy and girl exchanged a few words with each other Truth found himself smiling and even chuckling, which was very odd to him. He thought of himself excluded from human interaction but the little pack of gum landing in his lap may have changed that.
~Mental note, interaction at this school could give me a bias opinion of the world.~
"I'm Sara..."
Truth raised an eyebrow, was he suppose to introduce himself as well? He rubbed his chin for a moment pondering on the idea if he should make it public who he was.He could even make friends if he did.He pulled his journal out of his back pocket and ripped out a piece of paper and quickly wrote on it. He placed his hand on the back of the girl shoulder and took a step back so that both the boy and the girl could look at it. He puffed out his chest and made a smile he saw someone made on a TV commercial that made him seem somewhat commercial despite his facial disfigurement and he also gave a thumbs up something else he saw on TV

This girl...she was just GAH! Oh how much he wished he could have had the honor of ripping her neck off her little girly shoulders and strangle it. So, so tempting. What was her problem anyway?! He had done nothing wrong and really, she was the one who over-reacted. Or was she one of those psycho earth-friendly people? If he was lucky enough, he wouldn’t stay long enough to find out.
He shut his mouth at her comment, his face fuming and red still, almost matching his rich red hair. If this was some sort of cartoon, he’d have steam coming out of his ears. He threw the gum packet to the ground, not feeling it was necessary to carry about an empty cartridge. The man that gave it to him was either unable to speak or had some issues. But for now, Nate would go with the theory that maybe he was simply mute.
The crazy lady’s gaze fell on the mute guy for a while as she seemed to be trying to understand him. He couldn’t blame her though, even Nathaniel was curious to know what his deal was and who he was and why he advanced them at all. He was an odd one, definitely not very easy to understand or read.
She looked at the other guy and at himself now, introducing herself. Bah, guess he would have to introduce himself as well.... If he HAD to.
“Nathaniel’s the name. Nathan or Nate for short.â€
Wait, how was Mutie supposed to introduce himself? Nate watched him carefully as Mutie reached into his back pocket, taking out what looked like a book you write in, sort of like a journal or notebook, and he ripped out a page from it, scribbling away with a pen. Nate raised a brow, wondering what the heck to expect.
He was weird.... Oh, he showed him what he had written but he didn’t get it. And did he watch too much TV or something? ‘Cause his smile and gesture was odd. It made Nate think of some sort of toothpaste commercial.
“You are Truth? I don’t get it....†he said as his wrinkled his forehead and narrowed his eyes. He then looked at crazy woman, maybe she would get what he was saying, if she was soooo great! “Is this some sort of game of yours or are you just messing with me?â€

"Nathaniel's the name. Nathan or Nate for short."
"Nobody cares~" Wow, rude~<3 Sara was a smart girl, she knew where to pick her fights, and she could take this guy. Common kid, hit me... push me... something, COMMON, I just wanna fight~! She just hoped he didn't hate for being so mean today. She just wanted some entertainment, and he seemed to be the one to give it to her. ~Poor boy~Muffinz~ Sara felt the hand on her shoulder as she glared at the red haired guy. Silly little bugger... She wondered if he could fight.
She turned her head and lifted her hand to grab the paper, smiling at the guy who handed it to her. She didn't quite know why he did it, but hell.. Why not. He wouldn't be the weirdest one in the school. Yes, that's right, she didn't find the freaky looking guy, who seemed to be mute as well, odd in the least, even going so far as to politely smile at him, but she had to try to start shit with the normal looking one guy. Ya, she was great wasn't she?~<3
I AM TRUTH
She looked at the note in her hand, holding it so that Nate could read as well. Hm. Well, she would just take it at face value, and ask him a blunt, and probably inconsiderate question, just to get it out of the way. She faced him directly, just in case. "Well then Truth, nice to meet you. So are you deaf to, or just can't talk? Like do you need to read my lips?" With that, she blew him a kiss and a wink.
Ya, it was probably a rude question, but it needed to be asked, so what better way to do it, then in typical Sara style bluntness? The last thing she wanted to do was keep talking and THEN find out he was deaf to. She didn't know how that sort of thing worked, but she had kinda been under the impression that most mute people were also deaf. Most. Not all. So in her mind, it was a good question.
Her head snapped back to Nate. "And before you speak... nobody cares." She smiled wickedly, and it was obvious that she was enjoying herself. She was going to have fun with this one.
