Frenemies [Frouse]

1. The Beginning

Smitty's Pov

A sigh released from my mouth as I looked up at the high school building. I'm a millionaire. I could just skip school entirely and not go in the building, and just get home schooled, but no, Alfred just had to force me to go to school, huh? I mean, I get he's my guardian angel right now, but really he's just my butler. I hate how I have to see people. I have to interact with them. I walked into the building, already overstimulated and annoyed by several of the loud chatter. It's my first day here and there's already so many people..

"Hey! You're Jaren, right? Jaren Smith?"

I turned around to see a brown haired boy, much shorter than me. His hair was a bit spiky like, and he had dark brown eyes, along with him looking tired. Really tired.

"Why do you ask?"

"Uh.. principal made me the tour guide or whatever. Well, are you Jaren Smith?"

I began to talk again before I started to see his arm reach out to mine.

"Yes. And don't touch me."

"Ah- sorry. Bitch.. anywho.. I'll bring you to the principal's office!"

There was silence added with a large bang. I had pushed him to the locker roughly, my hands gripping the collar of his shirt.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that, bud."

His breath hitched and I could see he was surprised, several people started surrounding us, interested by what was going on.

"Hey, hey, I didn't mean it! I was just joking, I- I swear! Friends? Peace?"

My voice lowered to a whisper and I brought my hand up, pressing my finger against his forehead.

"Don't do that again, got it, shortie?"

He looked a bit offended from the short joke but he just nodded. I backed away from him and I had seen him let out a breath of relief.

"You got it! Let's just- just go to the principals office.."

I nodded and followed him. He hasn't even told me his name yet, but honestly, I won't even want to be friends with him or even know. The crowd of people were moving away as we walked, and a lot of whispers and giggles were being heard, but I just ignored it. I didn't want to get expelled from a school I had just gotten in to. I had gotten lost in my own thoughts and hadn't noticed that he had stopped walking, so I bumped into him on accident.

"Fuck- Watch where you're going, dude."

I was taken aback a bit since I was zoning out. Before I could say something, the door to the principal's office opened.

"Ah, Mr. Smith, I see you've met the young man that I had give you a tour around the school, come in, you two."

We both stayed silent and walked in the office, I sat down in one of the chairs, and the brown haired guy sat in the other. The silence got broken from him talking.

"I didn't even tell you my name.. It's Max, Max Pierce."

He was looking at me when I turned to him, but I just looked away again, and the principal started speaking, giving me my schedule and shit. I wasn't even listening, just nodding and saying yeah. Honestly, I was more interested in the guy's name. Max Pierce. I don't usually focus on people's names, but this one in particular just seems so.. so weird. It's like I heard it from somewhere.. The principal soon handed me my schedule and Max and I walked out of the room. It felt like he was following me while I walked to my locker to set things away and whatever, so I turned around and yep, he was.
