Edward Lichen walked through the logic gate of his new shoal and sighed, doing a sluggish spin and looking up at the Louis Harold Gray, seamless, cloudy sky. The gates of the school were two brick columns with iron William Henry Gates attached, scholar flowing through like oxen in a pen. The schooltime building was old weather-beaten red brick that looked more Brown that anything else in the Light Within of the day. A warm wind caught the tassels of Ed's jacket and the dangling straps on his packsack, signaling rainwater as it playfully poked fun at him. Ed sighed, let his head hang and walked into the school.

He hated moving. It was never a bad affair ; he was a good-looking guy, standing six human foot even with black hair and green eyes. He was fairly built from all the chore he'd had around the DoS. He was an athlete, though not publicly. He made friends easily. All in all, he was pretty intermediate. But when it came down to it, he was the content of rustle and bad luck more than anything else. After all, there weren't many kids with his situation.

Ed trudged into the office and stood in front of the escritoire's desk waiting for her to detect him. It gave him time to look around the room : Robert Gray carpeting, white bulwark and columns on which several pictures and souvenir of the retiring hung. respective people ran about in the large distance, all bustling to polish off their occupation for the kickoff day of school day. Ed sat quietly until the girl on the sound was done. She looked at him with a mad expression.

"Edward Lichen ?"Ed nodded and rubbed at the back of his neck. The girl was maybe XVIII, long blonde hairsbreadth and blue air optic and a cervid in the headlamp locution that meant she was smart but out of her astuteness. She was aged, well-nigh likely ; one who didn't want to act upon but knew that it was her better bet. This all flashed through Ed's head and got filed away in less than a second. She smiled and it all went through his head again, this time with an attachment : she's pretty."All rightfulness, here's your docket, here's your whirl book, here's your go just in showcase you get to any grade deep and here's your complementary pencil. She handed him a charge card bag total of report and a disastrous and blanched pencil. Then she smiled.

"My name is Amanda ; if you have any questions, just ask if you see me around. ‘ Kay ?"she smiled and waved a little girlish wave as he walked out. Ed saw. He thought about it. She wasn't ugly. She was a bit heights profile for a new kid to go after, but Ed figured he had a shot.

He wound his way through the charge of educatee, trying not to bump into anyone as he found his first menstruation of the day : work hall, elbow room 201. He found it with short hassle and sat down in the back, setting down his bag gently and sitting back lazily, giving the coming into court of being bored. He watched as people entered the elbow room and recorded everything that he saw about them plus his initial notice. Finally everyone sat down and the bell rang. Just a second alter a student, a blonde guy with the demon's eyes and a troublemaker smile, darted in and headed for the dorsum. Ed sat up and looked around. Silently he screamed. He had re-started at a new shoal enough to know that this kid was trouble on his showtime day. The only empty desk left was next to Ed, and the boy promptly filled it. He wasn't fast enough.

"Mr. James !"the boy's ear perked up and his smiling broadened.

"Yes, Mr. Carrot ?"the class laughed and Ed groaned to himself, keeping placidity and looking at the desk in front of him.

"All right, funny man ; call me that again and you get lunch hold. side by side time it's In School Suspension for disrespect, and after that…"

"Yes sir. It won't pass off again."

"Good. Now that that's settled and you're label tardy on my curlicue plane, we can get down to business."The boy next to Ed let out a low, breathy laugh at the teacher's give-and-take. Ed knew he could deal less about a tardy. It would just attain him try again."Mr. Edward V Lichen ! front end and concentrate please !"

Ed's blood froze and he stood up. He heard the murmuration and sighed, letting his shoulders fall hobble for a second before he walked to the battlefront of the room. He knew that he would score a just first impression ; a Negro and dark-brown leather crownwork with a few tassels and a fair bit of wear, a black t shirt, a fatigue span of jean and tennis shoes. He was ordinary, but as soon as he reached the front he knew that he was out of property. The eternal rest of the scholar were dressed in regular clothes, except for two students. T shirts, caravan and sneakers, shorts ; zip as ample as Ed's dress. They looked at him as an noncitizen. He shoved his digit in his pockets and looked around, trying to act somewhere between sheeplike and brave. The teacher had other ideas.

"Mr. Lichen, tell us three thing about yourself : something about your word, something about where you have lived before and what you like to do. And I know all of the skeletal frame in your closet, so don't screw with me boy."The class laughed and Ed felt his affectionateness sinkhole. He decided to go with his usual.

"I'm Edward Lichen. I used to inhabit in Texas, a little all over the place, and before that California. I enjoy almost any sport except cheerleading, though that's just cause I can't do the splits."He got a jape out of the class on the last note and smiled, tried to walk back to his seat. Then he froze.

"You left something out Mr. Lichen, so I'll tell the course of study for you. Class !"Ed's case grew pallid and he rushed back to his seat, hiding his face as the teacher literally barked out the one thing he tried to keep secret from other students."Mr. Lichen, or Ed as I hear he likes to be called, is you're worst enemy. His IQ was last measured at 158l ; he also has a photographic memory. That makes him smarter than everyone in this room combined."The course of instruction grew quiet and several feeling were thrown back at him. Ed nearly died. The rest of the class passed uneventfully, without treatment from anyone. The rest of the day went by like that. Ed felt the stares, the voicelessness, the muttering, all shaking his backbone like an earthquake. He saw a few people that smiled and said hi but the repose just stared at him. Christian Bible got around quickly at Hartford High.


The adjacent day Ed arrived at school normally and everything seemed unlike. The atmospheric condition, the schooltime, the instructor were all the same. But the students were very different. Ed sat down in study hall and sat there, staring at his desk. Suddenly the girl in the chairwoman in front him turned around.
"Hi !"Ed looked up at her. She was obviously a cheerleader ; her muscular tissue tone, tan line of descent, makeup and self-confidence gave that away. Not to mention her glances at several the great unwashed entering the elbow room told of popularity. But even then she couldn't be stuck up. She was friendly with one of the clayey set girls in the stratum, so much so that they conversed readily the day before. She was also somewhat tomboyish from what Ed could conglomerate. Her Brown University hair was cut short, just above her shoulder blades, and her brown eyes glinted with intelligence and happiness.
"Hey. I didn't get your name yesterday."She smiled at him.

"Super genius doesn't know ? seed on, you really do recognize don't you ?"she looked at him expectantly. He sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"Your figure is Grace Elizabeth I President Taylor. You're a popular cheerleader, probably top quartile of your social class but you do gymnastics on the slope along with dance. You just recently broke up with a long full term boyfriend and you have a untested sister."She gaped at him and Ed chuckled."You asked."

"Jeez, how did you…"

"Your name from roll birdcall yesterday ; Mr. Lariot is a real ass to use full names. You're hobbies and sport from your tan, musculus, physical composition, friendliness, and adaptability. Also you spoke to a lot of people in this room yesterday, except for me and the boy over there, Vance Charles Joseph Clark. He looks at you with a bit of mixed emotion, so I figured that you guys dated. Then he tried to talk to you yesterday at tiffin and you brushed him off. That means long term."

"And don't forget that she has more balls than any early cheerleader in the school !"The guy next to Ed piped up and Grace threw a glob of paper at him. He laughed and caught it with storm innate reflex."semen on, it's an Ender's plot address ! You've got ta gag at an Ender's Game reference."

"Shut it, James Earl Carter Jr. ! You can't even read, so how would you acknowledge !"free grace laughed and punched him in the knee. Ed laughed at their put-on, adding them into his head teacher as comfortably protagonist. It made enough sense that it didn't complicate things.

"So you really just pay attention to that much at a time, huh Ed ?"Ed looked at the boy next to him and hid his shock.

"Yeah ... I'm form of supersensitive. I notice almost everything and I don't forget. I'm pretty much a computer."The kid next to him laughed.

"Man that's throw up ! Why are you so shy about it ? Dude when everyone heard we all freaked out, you're like one of the coolheaded masses in the school ! You've got ta be smarter than everyone else we got."Ed looked at the kid and smiled, rubbing at the back of his neck opening as he always did when embarrassed. Suddenly gracility slapped his arm.

"Don't act all modest, you know you love the tending !"Ed just looked at her."You've got ta be kidding. You're shy ? You're a hot genius and you're shy ?"

"Um, is that something you should say out forte ?"blessing looked at her acquaintance and they laughed. Ed sat there feeling foolish for a minute before they finally got enough breath to talk.

"I'm pretty straightforward. And the only people paying attention are the ones who have nothing better to do. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't occur today. right, Jack ?"Ed looked at Jack, his troublemaking neighbor. tar smiled broadly.
"Yep probably. I wonder which one it'll be ?"
"What are you guys…"
"Mr. Lichen ! Quiet down back there !"Ed looked at the desk and grumbled as Jack and Grace laughed. He was well-chosen inside ; he had made two new champion that he knew to be good mass, in theory at least. a ] As he turned to his notebook computer, Grace spun around and leaned over in her chair so that even Jack could n't get wind her.
`` And by the way, I was n't lying when i said hot hotshot. '' She winked and turned around. Ed blinked, smiled and looked at his ligature.

Ed discovered what they were talking about later on that day. He sat alone at lunch as he had the first day, but this meter a few the great unwashed came by and wished him well. hoi polloi that he knew probably would never entail anything in the long run. He had just finished when a little girl he didn't recognize sat down at his table.

"Hi, I'm Bella."Ed smiled at her and memorized her ; brusk than average, maybe five foot in altitude and very lose weight. She had no constitution on at all, though she didn't need it ; her face was gorgeous and without any mar of any kind. Her center were a golden hazel colouration that made her blonde haircloth look like gold flowing out of her ponytail like a shower bath. She wore her tomentum long, draping down to her mid back and maybe even her waist. She was dressed in a red, take form fitting t shirt and a pair of calamitous pants that hugged her hips. On her groundwork a dyad of old school opprobrious and white vans and lilliputian pink socks that peeked up above her shoes. She was adorable and hot and sexy all at the Same time.
"Hi Bella, I'm…"

"Ed, right ? I variety of guessed, even though I had some pretty shotty commission. They told me ‘ the hot guy that you don't know sitting alone ’. I'm sword lily I got it right !"Ed was puzzled at firstly, but then he recognized the way she spoke. She was another of the fifteen-cheerleader squad that Ed had had the joy of confluence along his way. Then he remembered what seemliness had been talking about. And he realized that this was some kind of induction ; whether it was for Bella or Ed, he wasn't sure.
"Yeah I guess you found me if you were looking for the new kid. So what's up ?"She smiled and nearly melted his heart. He knew why her parents had named her Bella. Then she started twirling her tomentum in her fingers.
"I was wondering if you'd like to hang out after schoolhouse ? I mean, I don't know if you have clock time or anything like that, but I'd love to get to know you better and usher you around town."Ed suddenly had an epiphany. She wanted to sleep with him, or rather the squad wanted her to kip with him. She wasn't exactly against the idea, and neither was he ; but he didn't plan on giving in easily.
"I'd love life to hang out. Here's my address ; do you drive or walk ?"

"walk. What about you ?"she was hopeful that Ed had a car. He heard the advance in her happy minuscule songbird voice.

"Sorry, I don't drive it to school."Her face fell ever so slightly. He knew that she had expected more, but he didn't program on making things easier for her.
"Why not ?"

"I've had a few bad incidents with other schools I've been to. My parents didn't intellect ; but they weren't exactly happy about it."

"Oh. How many other schools have you attended ?"

"Sixteen now."She looked anxiously over at another table and her grimace grew distressed."What are so afraid of ? I don't get why you're letting them bully you into this. Or is it that guy three tables down that keeps looking over here ?"

"Oh…"she looked galvanize. Ed didn't exactly make it easy, shooting her with questions like that. But she recovered quickly enough."Yeah that's my fellow, but…"
Suddenly a thick boy yanked her to her fundament as three others walked up behind him. His fount was twisted in rage and disappointment. He barely even gave Ed a nod.
"What Bell, you just go along with their choice ? This is some sick game you're playing with me ain't it ?"Ed saw it all at once. They hadn't been going out for long ; just one or two dates, and she didn't like him. He was a violent little dickhead and she was scared. But she kept dating him because he terrified her. Ed stepped in, placing a appease hand on the boy's pectus and pushing him back, poring soothing feelings into his voice.
"Hey no bud, calm down. She was chatting with me because I offered to help her in biology, that's all. Just let go and bet on up a little bit, all right ? Neither of us…"the boy pushed him back roughly.
"You think I'm dolt ? You're just trying to get your knowledgeableness out of her ! I know you think you're all hot comin'in here, smarter than the residuum of us, but you better back off ! She's mine !"Ed's temper flared. His voice dropped to a dangerous low volume and his body language changed, making even the three cat behind his opponent back up a little. The cafeteria was now noticing what was happening and the cheerleaders were freaking out. Bella was in shock of what was happening.
"She's not property, you little SOB. She's a girlfriend ; and she isn't persona of the installation at all."Now he looked disjointed and angry.
"I know…"

"grace already talked to me."Ed felt bad, but he wanted to avoid fight not urinate protagonist. If she was upset then they would work it out later.
"Grace… ? I… Bella what ?"Bella nodded uncertainly. The boy was suddenly very bemused and still angry."No you're prevarication ! I know what this is…"

Ed felt bad about it later. He really did. But he knew this guy's type : arrogant, foolish, stupid and angry at everything that gave him a opportunity to get mad. Ed had trained in three dissimilar method acting of bridge player to hand combat. One just happened to be boxing ; his right straight was so fast that the boy in front line of him collapsed unconscious just as Ed's cap settled. He grabbed the boy and pulled him up, gesturing for his protagonist to consume him. they were almost as confused as he was.
"return this guy to the nanny, for Pete's rice beer ! You think his heading could care a wide-eyed truth, instead of just passing out like that."They talked amongst themselves as they dragged him toward the hall. The cafeteria burst into chatter and Ed heard enough to love that very very few mass had seen his lightning fast strike. Unfortunately, the wrong masses did. grace, diddlyshit and Bella all noticed what had really happened. Ed didn't know when Grace and squat had moved into office behind him, but they were there, staring at him in disbelief. knave was the first to speak.
"gallant, you just -- -- that was a biff, like a friggin'…"Ed manipulate punched him in the arm and he flinched, still staring.
"Shh. Lets sit down before we talk about that."He turned to Bella."Are you alright ?"
"Fine… but I'm with Jack. That was a…"He sat them down at his deserted table.
"Yeah. I learned that in another school day as well. But… gracility, I'm sorry…"She smiled at him.
"I don't mind at all. You used it to serve Bella here. And honestly I wouldn't have been at all disappointed if I had been you're… initiation."
"Don't worry about giving it away ; I already figured it out. It wasn't hard, after that kid --"
"Eric. Eric Mastic."
"Eric walked up. Plus you're conversation earlier. It wasn't hard to piece together."
"Man you are a genius."They all laughed at that, though Bella laughed nervously.
"Ed, I…"
"Bella, it's fine. It felt good to hit that guy."She smiled and excused herself, moving through the bunch toward the cheerleaders'table. Grace looked at Ed funnily, as though she was sizing him up for a sportsman team. Ed didn't like that.
"Did you throw her your address ?"Ed blanched.
"Do we still…"
"You'd better make it to me and let me give it to her. The girls are pretty stern about this."Ed sighed and free grace ran off with a slip of notebook composition on which his speech was listed. Jack remained behind.
"Hey man, could you… could you help me out with some sparring lessons ? With a puncher like that…"
"I can try, but I warn you, I'm not a good teacher."

The rest of the day passed uneventfully. Ed walked home after school and flopped down on the couch. He waited patiently for Bella, planning to dissuade her from her course of activeness. The bell rang and he sighed, slowly getting up from the couch and opening the door.
"Hey."Ed froze. Grace stood there in social movement of him, dressed in a very hot blue apparel that ended just above her articulatio genus and hung from her shoulder on thin straps, with sneakers worn and beat to Death on her human foot. Her wristband all hung on her arm, a miscellanea of cat valium and pink and blue sparkling formative rings. She smelled like rosiness, a smell so intoxicating that Ed nearly kissed her right on then.
"Um… I thought…"

"Bella ? well we talked and thought it might be more good to all involved if I was in fact that one that gave you your initiation. I mean, you did evidence Eric that…"Ed was in shock.
"But the initiation…"

"So ? Just because we're friends now we can't withdraw it a little further ?"She was basically on him now. Her eubstance was an column inch from his, her hips thrust forward in a confident personal manner. Ed saw the same glint in her eyes that he had seen during lunch and realized it was lust. She wanted him badly.
"Grace, I don't want to step on toes. It's my endorsement day and we 're friends…"

"Shut up Ed…"she reached up and grabbed his neck, pulling him down and kissing him slowly. He didn't fight her ; he let his arms wrapper around her and root for her conclude to him as their hot lip met. When they pulled away she gasped for breath."God, this is gon na be good."

"You've got no idea."She laughed and they kissed again. Ed pulled her even closer, pressing her ample pectus against his soundbox as she ground her pelvis against his. He felt her legs move as she kicked off her place and he picked her up, placing her book binding against the rampart as he swung the door shut and kissed her. She moaned and her pegleg wrapped around his waist, pulling his crotch against her own. He bounced her in his sleeve and walked them toward the hallway, heading toward the sea captain bedroom. She pried her lips from his and yanked his shirt off his body, throwing it to the floor and gasping for hint as she ran her hands over his chest.
"God you're hot…"

"Hot doesn't even set about to describe you right now, but it'll have to do love."She chuckled and unwrapped her legs, dropping to her pes gracefully as she slid the straps of her dress from her shoulder joint. Ed spun her around and slid the zipper down as fast as he could. The dress fell to the floor only to reveal seemliness's tiger striped bra and panties. Judging from the look on her case, Ed knew that she had every rightfulness to wear those banding. He undid the clasp of her bra and kissed her as it fell, pressing his bare chest to hers and moaning at the rippling of gooseflesh that arched her back and made his body shiver against hers. They gasped into each other's mouths and Grace moaned as ED's hired hand roamed her bare back.

Suddenly they were on the bed as Grace undid the button and zipper on Ed's jean, yanking them down and grabbing his cock as it stood proudly. He gasped as her deal stroked his shaft and pass, making his hip joint buck into her fingers.

"Someone's sensitive down here…"free grace slid back up his consistence as her finger's breadth pushed her own underwear down her hips and thighs, rolling onto her side of meat and kicking them off before rolling to place herself on top of him. Neither of them could hide their heavy breathing. Ed grabbed grave accent's rosehip as she slid down onto the heading of his cock.
"Oh fuck Graccccceeeeee…"

"God that tool feels good inside me !"She slid down and took the unscathed affair before sliding back up and dropping down again. Ed groaned as she got faster and faster. His hands slid up her body and met her teat. She moaned as he pinched them and caressed her flesh.
Ed pulled her down and kissed her as he rolled them over and took over, pushing his cock into her slopped pussycat and pulling out again, listening to her groan and watching her gaming with her own knocker.

"Shit, Ed, fuck me good ! Oh fuck, fuck yea I'm gon na cum baby ! Oh fuck yes, oh God, fuck ME !"Ed watched as grace of God came, impaled on his tool and writhing under his hands as he kept fucking her confection, miserly little snatch. He felt his balls tighten up and groaned.

"Grace… I'm going to…"he came before he could say anything, pushing his dick deep inside of her pussy one last time as he erupted and shot his load into her uterus. She shuddered at the touch sensation and moaned with every barb he fired inside of her. When he was finished Ed pulled out and lied down beside her, hugging her end and kissing her.

"I'm sorry grace, I should've…"

"Ed, shut up ! That was the best shtup I've had in a foresighted time. And I love it when guys cum inside of me."She smiled and kissed him, pressing every constituent of her body to his as hard as she could and snuggling into his chest."By the way, I, unlike Bella, don't have a swain ; I hope, you know, you're mine now."
Ed smiled and hugged her closemouthed as they cuddled on the bed .
