*An Apartment Complex Down The Stair From The School, A High Schooler Walks Out Of His Apartment That Is Located On The Third Floor, He Has His School Bag In Hand*
???: *A Woman Voice Is Yelling At Him From The Inside, He Exhales* Yeah yeah I know. "Football"... So much fun… *He has maroon hair with silver eyes, A black and maroon jacket, a white undershirt, black baggy pants, black and white high top converse* *He fixes his hair by moving it to the right with his left hand, He exhales as he walks down the steps of his apartment complex* Jesus, I can't do anything right huh? *He tosses his bag around his right shoulder, once he reaches the bottom of the steps, he is greeted by another student leaning on a light pole with his arms crossed, eyes closed and right foot on the pole, he opens his eyes and looks over at ???, they meet eyes* Yeah yeah I get it Rylet… not you too please.
Rylet: *Rylet Tsuyoi, Chinese, Age- 15, Height- 5'10, Black japanese comma hair style, purple eyes, he has a white shirt with a thin black trench coat over it but instead of buttons closing the trench coat it has buckle straps across his chest, black pants and black shoes* *slowly smile* Seems like mom has been giving you a hard time Aiden, You look like shit.
Aiden: *Aiden Sasaki, Japanese, Age- 15, Height- 5'11* *looks at himself* You think so? *They hear a door open from above*
Aiden's Mom: Aiden! *She holds up a bag of money* Your lunch money! Do you want to starve!? *Drops it down, Aiden Catches it* Jesus boy what are you going to do when I'm gone!?
Rylet: *does a light wave* Hey mom.
Aiden's Mom: *she suddenly gets a big smile* Rylet sweetie! Where have you been!? You need to come over more! I miss my other child!
Rylet: Maybe if Aiden let me come over more. *He bumps his right shoulder into Aiden's left shoulder*
Aiden's Mom: Well, you are always welcome here! This is your second home!
Rylet: Thank you.
Aiden's Mom: It's nothing! Your mom and I have known each other for around 20 years! I saw you grow up! *Exhales* Alright boys get going! You don't want to be late!
Aiden: Alright mom.
Rylet: *He nods* *they both start to walk away*
Aiden's Mom: *she puts both of her hands on the railing of the apartment as she yells to Aiden* I mean it Aiden! Join that football team! That strength of yours can be used for good! And don't you dare use it to fight!
Aiden: *lets out a defeated sigh*
Rylet: *chuckles* *They walk down the street towards the school, Aiden pulls his bag off his shoulder and starts digging through it, he pulls out a disposable vape and starts taking a hit, suddenly Rylet smacks it out of his mouth*
Aiden: Hey come on…
Rylet: Mom said no, so you aren't allowed, she told me to watch over you so I will. What's wrong with you?
Aiden: *sighs as he puts his bag back on his shoulder* She's driving me nuts about this football team shit. I don't want to play that stupid sport. *He throws his hands up in the air* I DON'T LIKE SPORTS PERIOD!! *drops his arms in a defeated manner*
Rylet: I get that but what if-*Aiden stops walking and cuts him off*
Aiden: What if I disappoint her…? *Rylet stops walking and looks at Aiden's back* *they have a brief period of quiet* It's not fair… I want to do what makes me happy but I don't want to disappoint her… she's given me everything… even when my dad left… *in a upset tone, Aiden whispers* The least I can do is follow what she wants… I know Rylet… I know… I don't ever want to disappoint her… *he starts walking again* Come on… *Rylet stares for a little before walking behind him, they make it to the school, they walk up to the front door but while Aiden is opening the door, Rylet stops him*
Rylet: Look, Aiden… I-*Aiden stops him*
Aiden: *he looks over his shoulder with a smile* Hey man, don't worry about it. I know you are just looking out for me. *He hugs Rylet* Thank you… *Rylet puts only his right arm around Aiden, they part from the hug, Aiden opens the door* So I will see you later?

Rylet: *smirks* Yeah, of course.
Aiden: *smiles* See ya! *Runs off to the left side of the school while Rylet continues to walks forward* *Classroom 151, Aiden walks in and sits down, he looks around, he talks to himself in his head* Is she here today? I would love to talk to her, it would make this shit day better… *suddenly a girl walks in, his eyes light up* There she is! *She sits down in a desk, Aiden quickly stands up and sits in the desk next to her* Hey Emma!

Emma: Good so far, made it just in time to class. Well we start at 8 and it's 7:48.
Aiden: I barely made it as well. *Chuckle* I keep forgetting where class is. *Smiles in embarrassment*
Emma: *she looks at him* Aiden, school is coming to an end soon and you don't know where the classroom is?
Aiden: Y-yeah but-*before he can continue she talks over him*
Emma: *she closes her book* Did you even do good this year?
Aiden: *thinks to himself, he loses his smile* I… I don't know to be honest. *He gets his smile back* but I was thinking I can take you out! Maybe to a nice dinner? I've been saving!
Emma: With what job Aiden? You ain't getting yourself into trouble right?
Aiden: *stops, he looks down*
Emma: Aiden, we aren't kids anymore. You gotta grow up, we can't slack off anymore. This is where it matters.
Aiden: But we don't even need a job in school.
Emma: But look at Isaac, He has one and in school. Maybe you should as well so you are readying yourself.
Aiden: *he gets out of the chair, he walks out of the classroom with a sigh, he talks into himself in his head* I don't know why I try with such good looking girls. *Looks upset as he opens his book and walks, out of nowhere he hears a girl's voice*

???: *She giggles* It's okay! Take it easy!
Aiden: *he slowly smiles with embarrassment*
???: I'm Monika! *Smiles with her right hand out* *Monika Shinzō, White, Age- 15, Height- 5'5*
Aiden: *he blushes* I'm Aiden… *he shakes her hand*
Monika: You are very handsome Aiden! *He blushes so bad he looks like a tomato* There is no way you should be so sad over a girl!
Aiden: *the blush goes away* Huh?
Monika: What? It says it all over your face. *She quickly covers her mouth* I'm sorry! Is that a touchy subject!? I'm so sorry!
Aiden: No no no! It's okay! *He looks down the hall with an upset face* It's just, I tried hard with her but I can't get anywhere. *Looks down*
Monika: She's not worth it!
Aiden: *he looks up at Monika* Huh?
Monika: She's not worth your time! If she can't love you back then screw her!
Aiden: *smiles* You are right, I tried didn't I?
Monika: *smiles* Exactly! You will find someone! Maybe it's me! *Hugs his arm, Aiden freaks out and blushes*
Aiden: HEY HEY HEY!! *Monika laughs, the bell rings*
Monika: *she lets go of him, she grabs a pen and paper out of her bag, she starts writing something down then gives it to Aiden* See you around! *She runs off*
Aiden: *he looks at the paper, it's her phone number, his eyes widen with a blush* H-how…? *A few hours ago by, class ends, Aiden walks out of his class and heads to the courtyard for lunch, while he's walking to lunch, he sees Rylet walking there as well, he waves out to him but before his hand can go into the air, someone suddenly grabs it* Huh? *He looks to the person, It's Monika* *he's real quick to blush* H-hey Monika!
Monika: Is that your friend over there?
Aiden: Yeah, why?
Monika: Wanna make him jealous? *Smiles*
Aiden: You know how crazy you look right now? We just met!
Monika: Have you ever heard "live in the moment"?
Aiden: Huh?
Monika: When you live in the moment, live becomes so much better! *She smiles as she hugs him arm* And I find you very attractive so I wanna get to know you! *Aiden blushes*
Aiden: *he scratches behind his head with his right hand* Jesus, you are crazy. *He suddenly smiles* But, I kinda like it… *they hear someone's voice, it's a deep male voice*
???: Hey Aiden… *Aiden looks over to see a 6'3 male, Hispanic*
Aiden: *sighs, he whispers* Fuck… He's tall as hell... This can't be good... *he talks out loud* Hey, do I know you?
Isaac: *Isaac Alvarez, he has white and green letterman jacket with blue jeans, solid white vans, faux hawk haircut and green eyes* I heard you were messing with my girl.
Aiden: What do you mean?
Isaac: Emma. That's my girl.
Aiden: *his pupils shrink* Shit man I'm sorry. I didn't know that. I'm really sorry man. I didn't do that out of disrespect. That means your Isaac right? I didn't even know she was dating you.
Isaac: My ass. *Rylet looks over and sees what's going on*
Aiden: Look, I don't want any trouble Isaac, I seriously didn't know.
Isaac: The nerve you have to ask my girl but have one around your arm.
Aiden: *he points to Monika* I just met her!
Monika: He's being honest! She denied him anyway! Why are you upset about it!
Isaac: Because it's disrespectful to me and in some ways to you.
Monika: I wasn't in the picture then. *She walks up to Isaac and points his chest with a smirks* If I was, I would have won. *Isaac smacks her across the face, Monika collapses on the ground*
Aiden: *Aiden's pupils shrink with a blank face*
Isaac: Stupid bitch, it's your turn you-*suddenly a left fist smashes into his face at unbelievable speeds, sending Isaac flying down the sidewalk*
Rylet: *sweats nervously, he runs* Shit! AIDEN!
Aiden: *he walks over to Isaac* You piece of shit… *he grabs Isaac's jacket by the collar with his left hand* I'm gonna-*he's stopped by Rylet*
Rylet: That's enough! *He starts pushing Aiden away* Do you want to get in trouble!? You know what happens when you get in trouble again! What the hell are you doing!?
Aiden: *Aiden is unbelievably pissed* I can't stand people that beat on the little ones because they can't fight back!!
Rylet: You barely even know her!! You are going to get kicked out Aiden!! This is your last straw with the school! You better pray he doesn't tell anyone! If anything it's on my ass too! *They looks over to see Isaac's face is messed up with a bloody nose and broken teeth* The least you could have done is held back!
Aiden: *grits teeth* Y-your right... Fuck... *He puts his hands on his head* If I get kicked out, my mom will kill me... *He starts getting upset* I don't want to upset my mom... I just want to make her proud... I can't do anything right... *Starts to tear up* I was caught in the moment... Why would I do that...? *He punches the concrete sidewalk, breaking it out of anger*
Rylet: At ease soldier. You are getting attention. *they look around to see people looking at him* You don't want the word out there right…? It's alright. I understand, you have every right to be upset but get ready for the consequences because there is no going back.
Aiden: *grits teeth but suddenly a hand is extended to him, Aiden looks up, It's Isaac, his face is completely fine* H-huh…?
Isaac: Look Aiden, I'm really sorry… I was being really stupid and I deserved it. If I knew you were that cool, I would have been your friend sooner.
Monika: *appears over Isaac's shoulder with a smile*
