Northridge: A new Begining
My name's Mike, i go by R.J. and I'm a small Black Wolf. And well, this is my Junior year. Half way through High school and I'm forced to switch schools. This is going to go well. I started out as a very shy Isolationist, meaning I isolated myself from others I didn't know. When I came, I noticed a few people from my old school were there. Some who came here when they began High school and some who changed over that year. So I immediately went to them and hung out with them. I was known at my old school for a few things, like being really good with computers and being some-what smart in most of the subjects. I had a lot of respect built up there, and it was all gone now.
My friends at my old school still kept contact with me, asking me for help with computer stuff over Facebook. But it wasn't the same. No one knew my abilities, and always thought I was trying to show off when I corrected teachers in class. But I didn't care, I never liked attention anyways. I slowly made one friend, but we never hang out. I was easily intimidated, and this guy was a big Senior. But he was nice to me, and protected me.
Slowly I made more friends, usually by proving to them I know a lot about computers by helping them in computer classes. I even helped someone hack onto facebook when a teacher blocked it, haha. I started to become the go-to guy for people who needed help with computers. I knew what I needed to do to ensue my safety. I needed to make friends with some people on the football team. That was easy, my first friend, Landon, knew a football player. So I quickly made friends with him.
Once I made friends with E, a football player, I was known on the football team. E gave my number to the players so I could help them with computer issues, and I got calls almost every night. They liked me, I never asked for any money to fix their computers, unless I needed to buy parts. Know that whole concept of the football team jocks protecting you in the halls when they like you? Well that's what happened to me. This was a good thing. A senior, who was known for being an asshole, grabbed my laptop from my bag and ran. One of the football players saw the guy running with it, and clocked the fucker right in the jaw. Knocked him right out, ha!
My plan worked perfectly. Northridge wasn't the friendliest of places, being on the border of two gang territories. So I set up a protection system for myself, which already saved me once. I knew this was my chance to start anew. Put the reason i left my old school, University, behind me. I was known as a good boy at University, a college prep school. But i fucked up, got caught stealing from a teacher. Now at that school if i was caught stealing from another student, it wouldn't be a big deal. But from a teacher? Seriously, what the hell was i thinking. I still regret doing such a thing.
Anyways, i needed to get out of there. The respect i built up with all the teachers was gone, and i think half of them even became bias against me in my grades. I also had a lot of enemies, including half the Football team. I still don't know why anyone turned on me there, i suspect an old "Best" friend spread a rumor about me saying I'm gay. He would have been right, but i keep that fact about me a massive secrete that no one knew. My homosexuality was killing me. I built friends without telling them about it, and due to what happened at University, i didn't want anyone to know.
