Unseen Scars

~Chapter 1~

I got to school around 20 minutes earlier than most of the students at Borderland High School.

Usually I made it 10 to 15 minutes earlier but today i had to get out, away.

My locker was a close distance to all my classes.

Most of them were advanced classes except one, World History.

I opened my locker and got out my Trigonometry text book with my pad of paper.

Closing my locker I wince a bit but nothing more.

It's quiet in the school halls with only the sound of a few teachers getting ready for their classes.

One of my teachers comes out of her classrooms and greets me while walking past to the office.

I walk to my homeroom class and sit in a seat in the back.

I lie my head down on the cool surface of the desk and let the time waste away while i'm thinking of my life, the pros and cons.

Normally I consider these things and weight how many pros there are against the cons, and i got to say there aren't many.

Someone walks through the classroom door a few minutes later.

I don't bother looking up, i just keep thinking and listing not caring who it was that entered the room.

The clock ticks by the seconds and i finally get bored of thinking and just look up towards the person in the classroom besides me.

He sits in a desk  not far from me, about one row over and four seats back.

Diagonal from me.

He turns towards me and smiles and soft, easy smile.

I realize than that he must be new since i haven't seen him before.

He has dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and a muscular build, he must be at least '6,3" which is around 5inches taller than me.

The bell rings and i lean me head back down.

"Hey, um, what's your name?" he asks me after tapping on my arm.

I wince a little at just the slightest pressure of his fingertip.

"She's Ivy, Ivy Prime. I wouldn't talk to her if I were you," A red head with freckles says in a warning voice. "Once some guy touched her on the shoulder and was trying to pull her back to talk to her and she kicked him in the family jewels with one warning, to never grab or talk to her again. That was the only time she ever talked. My name's Brooke smith, what's yours?"she says her voice instantly becoming cheery.

"Uh, I'm Tyler Pinewood. Nice to meet you Brooke." he says as the late bell rings.

The girl moves towards a seat in the front than looks back at Tyler.

He moves to the seat next to mine.

I lift my head and lay it back down facing him.

He writes on his notebook paper and passes it to me.

I look down at it reading;

Since you won't talk how about you write and i talk or something similar to that?

I won't touch you, i promise.

Okay?

I pick up my pencil and write back to him;

Okay, but you do know that the red head was lying right?

That story of hers was really sketchy you could practically tell that she was lying.

I pass it back to him and watch as he writes.

Our teacher comes in with disposable cameras, costumes, plastic props, and wigs.

She explains about what we're doing today, turns out it's a free day but we are still graded on how many pictures we can get with our partners.

Tyler passes me the notebook back, this time it reads;

Ya i know.

So you wanna be partners? :)

I glance at his face and see him smiling.

"You know just because i didn't talk before, doesn't mean i don't want to talk." I whisper to him making him surprised.

I give a small smile and head to the front with him.

He grabs a camera, a pirate costume and a sword prop.

We head to the back and i take pictures with him in the pirate costume and sword prop.

He makes silly faces through the whole thing than he takes it all off and gets a vampire costume.

I have a feeling this is gonna be a good day, i think to myself while smiling at Tyler and his craziness.
