Okay, I changed Wesley from being homosexual to being pansexual. Just so you guys know.
Also, this chapter's from Zoë's point of view.
We had a substitute teacher. They’re the only ones who ever bother with the roll call. The other teachers do it for the first three days of school and then just give up on it.
The substitute was one of those grumpy old ladies with the white hair and thin glasses that she wore on the end of her nose. She introduced herself as Ms. Norman. She pronounced it Mizzzzzz, drawing out the Z so she sounded like a bumble bee.
She took out the roll call and began:
“Alfred Clayton!”
“Here!”
“Travis Desmarais!”
“Here,” Travis said in a bored tone.
“Zoë Fielder!”
“Here!” I called.
“Winston Giles!”
“Here.”
“Ash Intili.”
Nobody said “here.”
Ms. Norman looked up from the paper. “Ash Intili,” she repeated.
Again, no answer.
“Okay,” Ms. Norman said, marking something on the paper.
Suddenly Ash burst into the room. He was panting, and his face was flushed like he had been running. His eyes were red, and his dark blond hair looked windblown and messy.
Somehow he was still cute.
Ash sat down at his seat and ran his fingers through his hair.
“That’s Ash,” someone said.
“You’re Ash?” Ms. Norman asked.
Ash nodded, his cheeks still red under the freckles.
“You have a tardy slip?” said Ms. Norman.
“No,” Ash said breathlessly.
“No what?”
“Um…no, I don’t have it.”
“You mean no ma’am?”
“Uh…yeah. Okay.”
Ms. Norman glowered at him. “Why are you late?”
“I missed the bus.”
“So you walked?”
“I ran.”
“Ash, you could have called me. You know I car ride,” I said.
Ash shook his head. “It was fine.”
“Alright, go get your tardy slip,” Ms. Norman said.
Ash nodded and got up. He went out the door.
I remembered that his eyes had been red and puffy. Like maybe he hadn’t gotten enough sleep.
Or maybe he had been crying.
My hand shot into the air.
“Yes, Suzie?” Ms. Norman asked.
“Zoë,” I corrected.
“What is it, Miss Fielder?”
“Can I use the bathroom?”
“Can you wait?”
“No. I really need to pee. In fact, if I don’t pee right now, I might wet—”
Ms. Norman held up her hand, a pained expression on her face. “Spare me the details. You may use the bathroom.”
I jumped to my feet and hurried out the door.
Ash was leaning against the wall. He was hugging himself tightly, his eyes closed. Tears seeped out from between his eyelids.
I touched his arm. He jumped. When he saw me, he wiped the tears away and forced a smile.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Nothing.”
“Do you need to go to the nurse?”
“No.”
“Do you want to go to the office? We could call your parents. Maybe your mom could come pick you up or something.”
Ash started crying again. I reached up around his neck and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close, tears running down his face.
If he hadn’t been crying, I would have been in paradise. I’d never been hugged by a boy before, except my brother and Quin, which doesn’t really feel the same. I mean, neither of them would date me.
Unfortunately, he was crying, so instead of being in paradise, I was just worried about him.
“Seriously, Ash, what’s wrong?” I asked.
He shook his head and pulled away, sobbing hard.
“Ash, stop crying. You’re going to make yourself throw up,” I said.
He wiped his eyes. “I already did.”
“You threw up?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, then we to get you to the office and call your parents.”
“No! No, I don’t want to go home, Zoë.”
“Ash, you need—”
“No!”
His eyes looked panicked. He was hyperventilating a little.
“I can’t go back home, Zo. Please? I don’t want to, please?”
I shouldn’t have looked into those eyes. If I hadn’t seen the tears pooling in them, I might have been able to send him back home, like someone who’s crying and throwing up should.
But he just looked so sad. I couldn’t stand it.
“Okay,” I said. “Let’s go get your tardy slip.”

Yeah Uhuh
Yeah Uhuh
Yeah Uhuh
(Verse 1)
I am in love
with the guy who is sweet
till we meet it isn't possible
(Chorus)
We need to meet
before we go Undercover
for each other
We need to meet
before we go Undercover
for each other
(Verse 2)
We haven't met yet
Still Single hearted
thinkin' 'bout each other
everyday
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Now & Then
Everyday, going separate
paths and ways
thinkin' we need to meet
in the middle before we go Undercover
(Pre-Chorus)
We never stopped goin'
separate paths and ways
passing broken hearts and scars
I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
Now,
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
I can't stand it any longer
goin' all crazy
when I get really lazy
Undercover
(Verse 1)
We need to meet before we go Undercover
Yeah Uhuh
Yeah Uhuh
(Verse 1)
I am in love
with the guy who is sweet

We need to meet before we go Undercover
Slowly,
Hand in hand,
We stroll towards the beautiful beach,
Never taking our eyes off the red sky.
We are together now,
And we face anything that will take us on,
With determination and unity,
Slowly.
The wave washes us into the ocean,
Taking us in,
Slowly, killing us bit by bit,
But we never let go of each other.
When we are together,
We will never die.
There is no chance of that,
It is impossible.
The power of being together
Surges into both of our souls,
And the angry waves crash against
Our faces,
But we still never let go.
We are undivided.
Nothing, ever, can keep us apart,
Or even separate us.
Because, you see,
We are bound.
We are bound
By the ropes of love,
Forever.
Nothing,
No one,
Can cut those ropes.
Not now,
And not ever.

I look down at the snow below
Thinking of its familiar glow
I remember the trees that tore at my wet clothes
And the horrid wind that stung my nose
I tripped and had fell to weak to move
Thinking I had nothing to lose
My eyes began to close and I started to drift away
My mind refusing to disobey
It took me by the hand and I felt warm
Almost glad to be taken by the storm
Now I watch from up above wondering what I did wrong
And why I was one chosen to sing the angels song
Thinking of its familiar glow
I remember the trees that tore at my wet clothes
And the horrid wind that stung my nose
I tripped and had fell to weak to move
Thinking I had nothing to lose
My eyes began to close and I started to drift away
My mind refusing to disobey
It took me by the hand and I felt warm
Almost glad to be taken by the storm
Now I watch from up above wondering what I did wrong
And why I was one chosen to sing the angels song
With nails so black scraping away at rotting church pews
I tell you I love you more than myself
But to understand, from me you shall receive neither money nor wealth
What you search for is not emotion or passion, it’s much more precise
It’s the golden fortune which comes with a price
So you take the deal and strike my head
Your beating heart, now made of lead
Allow me the peace of mind to soften the last deadly blow
Perhaps this is how our story ends of you the Raven and I the Crow
(Crows and Ravens, in European legends are known to symbolize death)
I will remember you always.
Will you remember me?
That is a question for you to answer,
And not me.
I promise
That I will always
Keep the flame of memory alive.
The fun that we had will never
Be forgotten.
Even on foggy evenings,
The darkest of nights,
You will always be in my heart.
For I know that you will help me
Keep the flame of memory blazing
Always.
All the good times that we had,
All the fun that we had,
All the tears that we let out,
All the anger we let out
Will never be wasted.
Because every minute of it
Is in my heart.
I will tend to the fire
Every night,
Recollecting all the memories we have
Knowing that the flame of memory
Is the brightest flame of all
And it will blaze on.

It all started 100 years ago...
There was a great clan, Yochi Clan. They kept balance of the Earth. The Enkai, or Ocean Clan, Riku, or Land Clan, and the Sora, or Sky Clan. There were 6 from each clan, chosen to defend Earth.
There Family names:
Wanizame = Enkai
Suppai = Enkai
Tategami = Riku
Nikushimi = Riku
Karasu = Sora
Inago = Sora
They took a pledge to defend the Earth and it's beauties. Until...
Suppai, Nikushimi, and Inago joined a evil organization that threatened the Earth years ago...
Yami Teikoku Boruto
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!!!!????
They put them selves in stasis so they could attack Earth at a later time. But the Heroes put themselves in stasis, too....

I'm cheerful on the outside yes, but under this huge hyperfilled, cheerful girl is a fragile antique.
On the outside some see me as normal or energetic maybe the one apple with a hole in the barrel.
I'll plaster a smile every now and then to show the me-the fake me- to disguise the actual one pulling the strings.
As I stand before the mirror starring at myself I see that figure looming behind me his hand on my shoulder.
And at that moment my mask breaks and I'm stunned at my actual self.
I'm filled with depression, sadness, anger and haterid.
Never did I want to ever see the true me.
The mirror breaks and the man next to me whispers "Your mine." I look down in defeat.
Dropping to the ground-on my knees-I begin to cry.
He got the better of me and now I am no more.
"I'm a monster." I say to myself through a sob.
