New series! It's kind of a contemporary fantasy thing. Heehee...
Don't worry, I haven't abandoned Jackie and Roman. :3
Keep it real~

Ky awoke that morning with a pounding headache and the unmistakable feeling of adrenaline coursing through his veins. He'd had nightmares before, but he remembered them in detail. This one he remembered nothing about but the fear.
"Ky! Get your lazy ass out of bed and get some breakfast!" he heard his brother call from downstairs. Jamie was his legal guardian, and had been since their parents had died in a car crash a few years earlier. At twenty four, he was a moderate drinker and had a job as a gardener at this local nursery. He didn't stereotypically "garden" though. His job was moving the heavy rocks and things like that. Although he had an attitude and an ego fit for Narcissus himself, he was actually a thoughtful person.
"Be right there," he hollered back. Ky more or less flopped out of bed. He trudged sluggishly down the hall to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. His black hair stood out in multiple directions, and his dark brown eyes were dull with sleepiness. He brushed his hair in a decent fashion and made his way to the kitchen where Jamie was setting a bagel on the table for Ky. He was drinking a Gatorade.
"Good morning," Ky greeted his brother. He nodded, took a gulp of Gatorade, and left to his room to do whatever before heading to work.
"Shit, Ky! You're an adult tomorrow! Happy early fucking birthday! Sign your own goddam permission slips," he heard Jamie's voice from down the hall, followed by a hiccup.
Ky had remembered his birthday was tomorrow. He just didn't care that much. Big deal. 18. Yippie-ki-yay.
He finished his bagel and went back to his room to dress into something decent. He pretty much threw on the first tee and first pair of jeans he saw. He slipped on a pair of Nikes, grabbed his bag, brushed his teeth, and waited by the door for Ashe. She drove up on her motorcycle not two minutes later. She was never too late.
"See ya later Tiny!" Jamie yelled. Ky rolled his eyes. Jamie got a kick out of making fun of how short and skinny he was. Ky walked outside and waved to Ashe, helmet-less as usual. She was a pretty girl. She was interracial, half black, half white, so her skin was a beautiful natural tan. Ashe's brown hair was not quite shoulder length, and a little curly and poofy. She hated it, but Ky said that it was unique and had volume. Of course, she didn't believe him.
"Ready for another lovely day at school, darling?" she greeted him. He sighed and hopped on the back. His friend was wearing a long black coat and black sunglasses. Ky often said that she reminded him of Neo from The Matrix. She would always squeal and exclaim, "I LOVE that movie!" Ashe was pretty much the only friend he had, and he was thankful to have her, although she was a little strange sometimes.
The drive to school took about ten minutes, tops. Some kids that saw Ashe and Ky ride to school together every day jeered and teased about their supposedly "single" status. But they were only friends. She was the only one that knew that he was gay. He hadn't even told Jamie, the manly man that he was.
He'd never met anyone that he'd been interested in. All the guys at his school were complete and utter douche bags. Not to mention the fact that Ky wasn't the most popular kid. His diminutive size and shyness didn't go over well with the "Powers That Be".
Neither was Ashe, but for a different reason. People were afraid of her. She was known for her short temper and violent tendencies. She wasn't repulsed by Ky and he wasn't afraid of Ashe. Thus, they stuck together.
Ashe parked at the edge of the lot. They dismounted the bike and walked to the school together, ignoring the looks from the other students. They entered the building.
Ashe stopped abruptly. Ky looked back at her with one eyebrow raised. She looked around, then shook her head and said, "I'll be right back. Nature calls. Uh, actually, I'll catch up with you later." She walked away, in the direction of the bathrooms.
Ky bit his lip and decided to head to the library. It was always quiet in there, a place where he could be alone.
He took a seat in his usual back-corner-of-the-room seat and pulled out a random book, although he didn't feel like reading. He sighed and put it back.
Ky heard the library door open and slam roughly. He looked up sharply. He took in a breath as he looked at the most gorgeous person he'd ever seen.
His auburn hair was a little spiky, his eyes looked about frantically. He sighed and his distraught aura faded. His eyes fell on Ky.
Ky swore his heart stopped for a moment. He figured that he was a new kid. A rather attractive new kid.
He started to approach Ky, and Ky felt a knot form in his stomach and his hands start to shake.
The newcomer sat across from him. Ky noticed his eyes were an enchanting green. "Eh...hey," he began. "My name's Ame. I'm uh... new here and I was wondering where Ms. May's classroom was. She's my first class."
Ky shifted in his seat. They had the same first class. "Well, we have the same class so I guess you could just follow me when they start." he thought he sounded seriously lame. Ame smiled.
"That'd be great, thanks," he said. Ky felt relieved. "What's your name?"
