In a classroom of Crystal High school, was a 14 yr old boy sitting on a chair in the back of the class. He had his chin on his right hand looking at the teacher at the front of the class calling out names for attendance. The boy had short black hair and with a decent looking face. He sat in silence as he waited for his name to be called out.
After the teacher called out a few more names, he finally called out his name, "Reed Felton."
Hearing his name being called out. Reed answered back to his teacher, "Here." The reason why his last name was Felton instead of Aniston was due to security.
The name Reed was already a clue to his identity, but with his last name being Felton, it would lessen the chance of him being exposed. Another thing to keep himself safe, was that his dad uploaded fake pictures of him on the web. Doing that furthered the chances of being lessened even more.
After hearing seeing that Reed was present, the teacher went on and started calling out the rest of names. As this was the first of school for Reed, he didn't know anyone, so any name he heard was the first. That was until the teacher called out "Daniel Vice."
"Shit, he's in this class? If he see's me, he'll expose me," Reed thought to himself. Daniel Vice was one of the few people in Nova City that knows how he looks. Even though it's been seven years, Daniel could still figure out who Reed is, by looking at his face.
Not getting a response, the teacher called out again, "Daniel Vice." He waited for a bit for a response but no one answered back. "I guess he's not here," just as the teacher was about to mark Daniel absent, the classroom door opened, a boy with blond hair came into the class.
"Sorry I'm late to class, I got lost looking for the class," the boy immediately apologized to the teacher.
The teacher looked at the boy, " You must be Daniel Vice, I assume?"
"Yes I am," The boy confirmed his identity.
"Good, you can sit next to Reed over there as the seat next," the teacher pointed out to where Reed was sitting. Hearing the the name Reed, Daniel couldn't help but think about Reed from the Aniston Family. He looked over at where Reed was siting for a few seconds, before walking over to the desk. Reed was looking through the window next to him, showing him the busy streets of Nova City. So Daniel wasn't sure if the Reed was the Reed he knew of, and hoped a little that it wasn't the one that he knew.
After sitting down at the desk next to Reed, Daniel then greeted him, " Hi my name is Daniel Vice." Reed turned around and greeted him back with a smile.
"Nice to meet you Daniel, my name is Reed Felton" Reed greeted back, emphasizing his last name. Daniel wasn't stupid and was able to understand what Reed meant, when he emphasized his last name. The two of them shook hands. As either one of them didn't know what to say next, they both turned to the teacher who was starting his lessons.
The first teacher they would have, was the English teacher and when that teacher was done with his lesson, the math teacher would come into class and start teaching and so forth with the other teachers.
The bell rung, signalling the end of the third period class. Reed got up from his seat and turned to door leading to the hallway.
"Hey wait up," Daniel who just got up from his seat called out to Reed.
Reed turned around to look at Daniel. "What is it?" Reed said with an expressionless face.
"I don't anyone else besides you, plus I want to become friends with you. I apologize for the incident seven years ago. After that incident I was given a stern lesson from my father which is now ingrained into my mind. I'm different from what I was that day, you don't have to believe me. But all I ask is to be forgiven and given a chance to become a friend of yours." Daniel spoke earnestly.
Over the years Daniel did change by a lot. After the incident with him being beaten up by Reed, in front of so many people. His father then gave him a beating to knock some sense into him. His father didn't stop after beating him. He even made him live the life of a common person for a few years to understand other a bit.
This lesson would be extreme to a kid who has lived a frugal, rich life. But this allowed Daniel to become who he is now. Daniel at first hated it, but after mingling with those around him, he learned how hard it was for others to live. He then soon became a person with a better out look in life and humble as well.
Looking at his face, Reed didn't any see a hint of malice. Seeing that, Reed couldn't but feel surprised and impressed. It was either that he was a master at lying or was telling the truth and Reed felt that he was telling the truth.
"Everything that happened in the pass, was when we were kids. You and I didn't know better at that time. So it's all fine" Reed patted Daniel on the shoulder with a smile. Even though back then, Reed got mad at Daniel in the past for threatening his family, Daniel back then was only a child. Because of that, seeing how Daniel seemed to have changed a lot in personality and and how young he was, Reed was willing to forgive Daniel.
"Thank you," Daniel smiled back to Reed. He was happy, that Reed was able forgiving him for the incident back then. The incident was the biggest thing he regretted causing, so hoped to be forgiven for such an act, and he was.
"Let's go, were going to find Aily," Reed then back to the door leading to the hallways and exited the room, followed bay Daniel. Reed then entered another classroom and looked around to find where Aily was. It didn't take a second to find her, as Aily was surrounded by group of people.
Aily now was a stunning beauty, she had long black hair with shinning white skin. Her appearance would always gain people's attention as walked by them. Her personality though, was cold. In her classroom, the only time she talked was when the teacher called out her name for attendance and when the teacher asked her to answer an answer.
Everyone who tried to make an advance on her was coldly ignored and wasn't given a reaction by her. "Aily, let's go, we're gonna go buy some food at the cafeteria," a voice called out, at the door of the classroom. When Aily heard the voice, she knew who it was immediately smiled and got up to look at the person who called out to her.
Everyone who saw her smile, couldn't help but be stunned. The smile so beautiful that it made all the guy's heart stop for a moment. They then turned to look at the person who called out to Aily, the person wasn't beyond handsome and only had above-average looks.
"I'm coming, wait up" Aily said to Reed, as she pushed in her chair and walked towards Reed. Daniel who was behind Reed and couldn't help but feel astonished, he never thought that he would see such a beautiful girl ever, but after figuring out the she was the girl Reed was talking about, he kept silent as she walked towards them.
"How was the first day of class?" Reed asked Aily as he smiled.
"It was ok." Aily shrugged her shoulders. " It would be as lot better if you were in the class." When Aily is with Reed she would always look energetic and always talk, It was the same with Kendall, Abe, Ivan, Baron, and Eric as well. Since she did train with them in the pass for seven years, she was bound to talk to them and get to know them. In the pass, Aily was a quiet and meek girl, but now she changed by a lot as time passed.
Seeing everything that just happened, a handsome male student couldn't help but feel jealous. His name was George Benel. When George first laid eyes eyes upon Aily, he immediately claimed her as his own. Seeing how Aily smiled at Reed rather than him him, George couldn't help but be angered. Someone who he deemed, as his own, being taken by someone else. What else would he feel instead of being furious.
Now in his mind, George was planning how to take Reed out of the picture.
