Kieran POV:

I was standing by my friends, unsure of what to do in the remaining time we had before class. Alex was talking very fast at Coby about math and I had tuned out until I heard a thud and a shout that reverberated through the hallway, we turned and looked for what it was.

And I literally couldn't believe my eyes.

The new kid and John Wittley were fighting. Not really though, the new guy was only dodging Wittley's punches too well for the dumbass to catch up with him all the while grinning amusedly at Wittley's attempts. Suddenly he was in front of the little kid, shoving him away and the kid ran past us without a glance back.

The new guy dodged the punch yet again and finally grabbed Wittley's arm, twisting under it and throwing the massive dude over his shoulder. I watched the whole scene, completely astonished. I couldn't believe a new kid stood up to Wittley on the first day. I was both impressed and feeling second-hand embarrassment for the guy, but then again the asshole deserved it so maybe it wasn't so bad.

The new guy walked past us, our eyes met for a split second. His eyes were a shade of light green that almost looked blue-green. His dark brown hair was dramatically faded around the sides and back of his head and he has a streak if white in the front of his bangs, almost styled to show it proudly. His hair was longer in the front and hung in front of his eyes a little. He wore a black t-shirt with white words I couldn't read fast enough and gray, fitting jeans. He was shorter than me, and came up to about my chin and he was lean. It was incredibly confusing, since he just threw a fucking wrestler over his shoulder but I guess good technique rules all. It was like he was built for graceful movements.

"Holy shit, that was impressive. Especially on his first day," Coby muttered surprised.

"His name is Niall," Alex stated. "He transferred here yesterday from a school in the next county over. He was absent yesterday."

"And how in the hell did you know that?" I asked, barely even looking at him. I watched the new kid turn the corner and nearly crash into someone. From here I couldn't tell if he did or not. I sighed and pushed off the wall I was leaning on.

He shrugged. "He's in my English class, the teacher mentioned him yesterday." I shook my head. I guess that made sense, but the guy had a knack for know everyone, so I wouldn't be surprised if he'd said they were childhood friends.

"Of course you would know that," Isaiah grunted under his breath.

"I'd give it up, mate," Coby muttered, shaking his head. His Australian accent getting thicker as he spoke quieter. "He's never going to crack."

Isaiah just rolled his eyes and said nothing. Kyler stood looking at me blankly, like he wasn't hearing us.

---

At lunch we found that Niall guy and the little kid were sitting at our table, but I didn't mind. The only reason we sat there was because Coby was allergic to nuts. Like, deathly allergic.

Isaiah and Kyler sat across from Alex and I, Coby sat next to Isaiah, closest to the kids, and almost immediately sparked a conversation with them. After he ate his...whatever type of sandwich he ate for lunch. Sunbutter or something...?

"Hey, I saw what happened this morning," he said excitedly. His accent bled through his voice the more excited he got. The accent took Niall by surprise, but he listened anyway. "Those were some sick moves there!"
