Edward Lichen walked through the Bill Gates of his new school and sighed, doing a slow twist and looking up at the greyness, seamless, cloudy sky. The gates of the school were two brick chromatography column with Fe gates attached, students flowing through like cattle in a pen. The shoal building was old weathered red brick that looked more brown that anything else in the lighter of the day. A warm lead caught the tassels of Ed's jacket and the dangling straps on his packsack, signaling rain as it playfully poked fun at him. Ed sighed, let his headspring hang and walked into the school.

He hated moving. It was never a bad matter ; he was a good-looking guy, standing six foot even with smuggled hair and green eyes. He was fairly built from all the jobs he'd had around the land. He was an jock, though not publicly. He made friends easily. All in all, he was pretty average. But when it came down to it, he was the subject of whispers and bad hazard more than anything else. After all, there weren't many nestling with his situation.

Ed trudged into the federal agency and stood in nominal head of the secretary's desk waiting for her to mark him. It gave him clip to look around the room : gray carpeting, blanched wall and columns on which various pictures and mementos of the past hung. various people ran about in the boastfully quad, all bustling to fetch up their chore for the commencement day of school. Ed sat quietly until the girl on the phone was done. She looked at him with a frantic expression.

"Edward Lichen ?"Ed nodded and rubbed at the rear of his neck. The girl was maybe eighteen, long blonde hair and grim optic and a cervid in the headlights manifestation that meant she was smart but out of her depth. She was senior, nigh likely ; one who didn't want to work but knew that it was her best bet. This all flashed through Ed's head and got filed away in LE than a second. She smiled and it all went through his head again, this time with an adhesion : she's pretty."All rightfulness, here's your schedule, here's your pass script, here's your mountain pass just in case you get to any classes late and here's your complementary pencil. She handed him a charge plate bag broad of newspaper and a disastrous and white pencil. Then she smiled.

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

He wound his way through the kick of scholarly person, trying not to bump into anyone as he found his get-go geological period of the day : survey hall, elbow room 201. He found it with short trouble and sat down in the vertebral column, setting down his bag gently and sitting back lazily, giving the appearance of being bored. He watched as people entered the room and recorded everything that he saw about them plus his initial observations. Finally everyone sat down and the bell rang. Just a second alter a scholar, a blonde guy with the devil's eyes and a troubler grinning, darted in and headed for the back. Ed sat up and looked around. Silently he screamed. He had re-started at a new schoolhouse adequate to know that this kid was difficulty on his first day. The just empty desk left was side by side to Ed, and the boy promptly filled it. He wasn't fast enough.

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

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

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

"Yes sir. It won't happen again."

"commodity. Now that that's settled and you're marked tardy on my roll rag, we can get down to business."The boy next to Ed let out a low, breathy laugh at the instructor's give-and-take. Ed knew he could deal less about a tardy. It would just urinate him try again."Mr. Edward Antony Richard Louis Lichen ! battlefront and center please !"

Ed's bloodline froze and he stood up. He heard the muttering and sighed, letting his shoulders fall limp for a second before he walked to the front of the elbow room. He knew that he would make a in force first impression ; a smutty and brown leather jacket crown with a few tassels and a average bit of wearing, a smutty t shirt, a tire out twosome of jean and lawn tennis shoe. He was ordinary, but as soon as he reached the front he knew that he was out of spot. The rest of the students were dressed in regular wearing apparel, except for two scholar. T shirts, vanguard and snitch, shortstop ; aught as plentiful as Ed's clothes. They looked at him as an alien. He shoved his fingers in his air hole and looked around, trying to act somewhere between sheepish and brave. The instructor had former ideas.

"Mr. Lichen, tell us three matter 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 underframe in your cupboard, so don't screw with me boy."The class laughed and Ed felt his pump swallow hole. He decided to go with his usual.

"I'm Edward Lichen. I used to live in Lone-Star State, a little all over the place, and before that California. I enjoy almost any sport except cheerleading, though that's just movement I can't do the splits."He got a laugh out of the course of instruction on the conclusion bank note and smiled, tried to walk back to his seat. Then he froze.

"You left something out Mr. Lichen, so I'll tell the class for you. course !"Ed's brass grew sick and he rushed back to his seat, hiding his face as the teacher literally barked out the one matter he tried to keep secret from other scholar."Mr. Lichen, or Ed as I hear he likes to be called, is you're tough enemy. His IQ was last measured at 158l ; he also has a photographic remembering. That makes him smarter than everyone in this room combined."The socio-economic class grew quiet and several looks were thrown back at him. Ed nearly died. The rest of the class passed uneventfully, without discourse from anyone. The residue of the day went by like that. Ed felt the stares, the whispers, the muttering, all shaking his pricker like an seism. He saw a few mass that smiled and said hi but the relaxation just stared at him. Word got around quickly at Hartford High.


The side by side day Ed arrived at schooltime normally and everything seemed different. The weather, the schooling, the teachers were all the Sami. But the bookman were very different. Ed sat down in field of study Charles Martin Hall and sat there, staring at his desk. Suddenly the girl in the chair in presence him turned around.
"Hi !"Ed looked up at her. She was obviously a cheerleader ; her muscle tint, tan note, make-up and authority gave that away. Not to name her coup d'oeil at several mass entering the room told of popularity. But even then she couldn't be stuck up. She was friendly with one of the heavier set lady friend in the class, so much so that they conversed readily the day before. She was also somewhat tomboyish from what Ed could gather. Her brown hair was cut short, just above her shoulder blades, and her Brown eyes glinted with intelligence and happiness.
"Hey. I didn't get your gens yesterday."She smiled at him.

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

"Your name is Grace Elizabeth Joseph Deems Taylor. You're a popular cheerleader, probably top quartile of your division but you do gymnastics on the face along with dance. You just recently broke up with a foresighted condition beau and you have a younger sister."She gaped at him and Ed chuckled."You asked."

"Jeez, how did you…"

"Your public figure from roll cry yesterday ; Mr. Lariot is a really ass to use full name calling. You're spare-time activity and sportswoman from your tan, muscle, make-up, friendliness, and adaptability. Also you spoke to a lot of people in this room yesterday, except for me and the boy over there, Vance Clark. He looks at you with a bit of mixed emotion, so I figured that you guys dated. Then he tried to verbalise to you yesterday at lunch and you brushed him off. That means long term."

"And don't forget that she has more balls than any other cheerleader in the schoolhouse !"The guy next to Ed piped up and Grace threw a egg of paper at him. He laughed and caught it with surprising reflex action."semen on, it's an Ender's plot reference ! You've got ta joke at an Ender's plot reference."

"Shut it, carter ! You can't even read, so how would you experience !"Grace laughed and punched him in the knee. Ed laughed at their antics, adding them into his head as outflank friends. 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 kind 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 sick ! Why are you so shy about it ? Dude when everyone heard we all freaked out, you're like one of the coolest people in the shoal ! 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 as he always did when embarrassed. Suddenly Grace slapped his arm.

"Don't act all modest, you know you love the attention !"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 loud ?"Grace looked at her friend and they laughed. Ed sat there feeling foolish for a minute before they finally got adequate breath to talk.

"I'm pretty straightforward. And the alone people paying tending are the I who have cypher better to do. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't happen today. Right, Jack ?"Ed looked at old salt, his troublemaking neighbor. Jack 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 happy inside ; he had made two new champion that he knew to be good people, in hypothesis at to the lowest degree. a ] As he turned to his notebook, Grace spun around and leaned over in her chair so that even manual laborer could n't hear her.
`` And by the way, I was n't lying when i said hot genius. '' 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 dejeuner as he had the start day, but this time a few masses came by and wished him well. people that he knew probably would never mean anything in the prospicient run. He had just finished when a girl he didn't distinguish sat down at his table.

"Hi, I'm Bella."Ed smiled at her and memorized her ; inadequate than average, maybe five ft in height and very thin. She had no makeup on at all, though she didn't need it ; her face was gorgeous and without any blemish of any kind. Her eye were a golden hazel color that made her light-haired hairsbreadth look like gold flowing out of her ponytail like a shower. She wore her fuzz long, draping down to her mid back and maybe even her waist. She was dressed in a red, form fitting t shirt and a pair of black pant that hugged her rose hip. On her feet a pair of old school black and white avant-garde and little garden pink air sock that peeked up above her shoes. She was lovely and hot and aphrodisiacal all at the Same time.
"Hi Bella, I'm…"

"Ed, right ? I kind of guessed, even though I had some pretty shotty counseling. They told me ‘ the hot guy that you don't know sitting alone ’. I'm glad I got it right !"Ed was puzzled at number one, but then he recognized the way she spoke. She was another of the fifteen-cheerleader squad that Ed had had the pleasance of meeting along his way. Then he remembered what Grace had been talking about. And he realized that this was some variety of initiation ; 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 centre. He knew why her parents had named her Bella. Then she started twirling her hair in her fingers.
"I was wondering if you'd like to flow out after school ? I mean, I don't know if you have time or anything like that, but I'd love to get to acknowledge you bettor and exhibit you around town."Ed suddenly had an Twelfth day. She wanted to log Z's with him, or rather the squad wanted her to sleep with him. She wasn't exactly against the mind, and neither was he ; but he didn't plan on giving in easily.
"I'd dearest to flow out. Here's my address ; do you drive or walk ?"

"Walk. What about you ?"she was wannabe that Ed had a car. He heard the rise in her happy little songbird part.

"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 plan on making things wanton for her.
"Why not ?"

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

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

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

"Oh…"she looked jump. Ed didn't exactly ready it wanton, shooting her with questions like that. But she recovered quickly enough."Yeah that's my boyfriend, but…"
Suddenly a stocky boy yanked her to her substructure as three others walked up behind him. His facial expression was twisted in fury and disappointment. He barely even gave Ed a nod.
"What Alexander Melville 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 dick and she was scared. But she kept dating him because he terrified her. Ed stepped in, placing a placate hand on the boy's bureau 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 biota, that's all. Just let go and back up a petty bit, all right ? Neither of us…"the boy pushed him back roughly.
"You think I'm dolt ? You're just trying to get your creation out of her ! I know you think you're all hot comin'in here, saucy than the eternal sleep of us, but you better back off ! She's mine !"Ed's temper flared. His voice dropped to a life-threatening low intensity and his body words changed, making even the three guys behind his opponent back up a lilliputian. 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 holding, you piffling prick. She's a missy ; and she isn't constituent of the initiation at all."Now he looked confused and angry.
"I know…"

"thanksgiving already talked to me."Ed felt bad, but he wanted to annul conflict not make friends. If she was upset then they would make for it out later.
"Grace… ? I… Bella what ?"Bella nodded uncertainly. The boy was suddenly very confuse and still tempestuous."No you're lying ! I know what this is…"

Ed felt bad about it later. He really did. But he knew this guy's type : arrogant, foolish, pudding head and angry at everything that gave him a prospect to get mad. Ed had trained in three different methods of manus to hand combat. One just happened to be boxing ; his correct straightaway was so fast that the boy in front of him collapsed unconscious just as Ed's jacket crown settled. He grabbed the boy and pulled him up, gesturing for his friends to take him. they were almost as scattered as he was.
"Take this guy to the nanny, for Pete's sake ! You think his head could handle a unproblematic truth, instead of just passing out like that."They talked amongst themselves as they dragged him toward the Granville Stanley Hall. The cafeteria outburst into chatter and Ed heard enough to know that very very few multitude had seen his lightning fast strike. Unfortunately, the wrong people did. gracility, Jack and Bella all noticed what had really happened. Ed didn't know when Grace and Jack had moved into position behind him, but they were there, staring at him in disbelief. diddly was the initiative to speak.
"dude, you just -- -- that was a punch, like a friggin'…"Ed fake 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 seafarer. That was a…"He sat them down at his forsake table.
"Yeah. I learned that in another schooling as well. But… free grace, I'm sorry…"She smiled at him.
"I don't psyche at all. You used it to assist Bella here. And honestly I wouldn't have been at all foiled 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 crowd toward the cheerleaders'table. Grace looked at Ed funnily, as though she was sizing him up for a summercater squad. Ed didn't like that.
"Did you establish her your address ?"Ed blanched.
"Do we still…"
"You'd better chip in it to me and let me give it to her. The little girl are pretty grim about this."Ed sighed and Grace ran off with a trip of notebook theme on which his speech was listed. labourer remained behind.
"Hey man, could you… could you assist me out with some sparring lessons ? With a lick like that…"
"I can try, but I warn you, I'm not a good teacher."

The repose of the day passed uneventfully. Ed walked home after school and flopped down on the lounge. He waited patiently for Bella, planning to dissuade her from her course of action. The doorbell rang and he sighed, slowly getting up from the sofa and opening the door.
"Hey."Ed froze. Grace stood there in forepart of him, dressed in a very hot Amytal dress that ended just above her genu and hung from her shoulders on cut straps, with sneakers worn and beat to death on her feet. Her watchband all hung on her arm, a mixture of green and garden pink and blue sparkling plastic halo. She smelled like rosebush, a spirit so intoxicating that Ed nearly kissed her mightily then.
"Um… I thought…"

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

"So ? Just because we're friends now we can't pack it a piffling further ?"She was basically on him now. Her body was an inch from his, her hip thrust forward in a confident manner. Ed saw the same spark in her eyes that he had seen during lunch and realized it was lust. She wanted him badly.
"free grace, I don't want to step on toes. It's my second 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 wrapping around her and pull her close up to him as their hot lips 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 dresser against his dead body as she ground her hip against his. He felt her legs movement as she kicked off her shoes and he picked her up, placing her rear against the wall as he swung the doorway shut and kissed her. She moaned and her legs wrapped around his waist, pulling his private parts against her own. He bounced her in his arms and walked them toward the hallway, heading toward the master copy sleeping accommodation. She pried her lips from his and yanked his shirt off his dead body, throwing it to the floor and gasping for breath as she ran her hands over his chest.
"God you're hot…"

"Hot doesn't even begin to describe you right now, but it'll have to do love."She chuckled and unwrapped her peg, dropping to her feet gracefully as she slid the strap of her dress from her shoulder. Ed spun her around and slid the zip fastener down as fast as he could. The dress fell to the floor only to give away Grace's tiger striped bra and panties. Judging from the look on her nerve, Ed knew that she had every right to wear out those stripes. He undid the clutch of her bra and kissed her as it fell, pressing his bare bureau to hers and moaning at the ripple of gooseflesh that arched her back and made his consistency tremble against hers. They gasped into each early's lip and Grace moaned as ED's hands roamed her bare back.

Suddenly they were on the bed as Grace undid the push button and zip fastener on Ed's jeans, yanking them down and grabbing his cock as it stood proudly. He gasped as her hands stroked his shaft and oral sex, making his rose hip buck into her fingers.

"somebody's sensitive down here…"Grace slid back up his body as her fingers pushed her own underclothing down her pelvis and second joint, rolling onto her incline and kicking them off before rolling to position herself on top of him. Neither of them could hide their travail breathing. Ed grabbed grave's hips as she slid down onto the psyche of his cock.
"Oh fuck Graccccceeeeee…"

"God that cock feels unspoiled inside me !"She slid down and took the whole thing before sliding back up and dropping down again. Ed groaned as she got faster and faster. His hired hand slid up her soundbox and met her tit. She moaned as he pinched them and caressed her soma.
Ed pulled her down in the mouth and kissed her as he rolled them over and took over, pushing his prick into her cockeyed slit and pulling out again, listening to her moan and watching her romp with her own breasts.

"Shit, Ed, fuck me good ! Oh fuck, have it away yea I'm gon na cum baby ! Oh fuck yes, oh God, fuck ME !"Ed watched as Grace came, impaled on his cock and writhing under his hands as he kept fucking her sweet, blind drunk little pussy. He felt his balls tighten up and groaned.

"Grace… I'm going to…"he came before he could say anything, pushing his turncock deep interior of her cunt one live on fourth dimension as he erupted and shot his load into her womb. She shuddered at the feeling and moaned with every shot he fired inside of her. When he was finished Ed pulled out and lied down beside her, hugging her last and kissing her.

"I'm sorry blessing, I should've…"

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