A Whole New World! [open]

[Hugh Murphy]

Hugh didn't really know what he should expect when he entered Hammel. Would it be in utter chaos or would it be extremely boring? Would he be welcomed or excluded? The biggest question though is would he be comfortable here? Could Hugh finally show who he really is? He really hoped so. Hugh has been to many schools before Hammel. He's switched around so much because he was bullied at every single school he's been to before. Hugh didn't know if he should consider Hammel a good place yet or not. When Hugh entered the main office he just looked around a bit. He looked clearly lost. Who was he supposed to talk to again? Hugh just stood in place hoping someone would know and help him out.

[Paul Wilkerson]

Paul walked through Hammel's gate. It was another day of school. Which wasn't all that bad. Really Hammel was the same to Pilot Ridge's public schools if you don't count that Hammel was a school for meta-humans. Paul followed the path to the school buildings. Students had sprinkled the school grounds. Some students were in groups. Others were by them selves or with a friend. Paul pasted some students on his way to the main office. He didn't say anything to them unless they greeted him.

The young teen entered the school. He was happy that he was out of the cold. His parents had thing about him walking to and from school every day regardless what the weather was like. There were times where he could get a ride from his mom or dad. But nine out of ten he had to walk. It wasn't a long walk. It was about a fifteen minutes walk.

Paul had thought about not delivering the letter to the main office. He didn't have a clue what was written in the letter. But he didn't want to risk getting in trouble with his parents because he didn't turn it in. He walked into the main office and handed the envelope to the receptionist lady. Paul was heading out of the office when something caught his attention. Or rather someone.

A young student stood off to one side of the office. Most likely he was a new student at Hammel and didn't know what to do. Paul could do one of two things. One he could be friendly and make a friend. Or two he could walk out of the office and carry on his day. Paul decided to be friendly. Paul went to make a new friend.

"Hey, you new?" Paul asked as he approached the student. If the student was new then Paul could show him around the school and then Paul would have something to do before classes started.

[Hugh Murphy]

"Hey, you new?"

Hugh turned around to see another boy around his age. Hugh was surprised that he didn't notice the guy come in. "Yeah I'm new." Hugh said and nodded. He stood awkwardly in place for a moment. Hugh's not the best with interacting with people. Hugh figured he should introduce himself. "I'm Hugh Murphy." He said and stuck his hand out if the guy wanted to shake it. "Do you by chance know your way around here?" Hugh asked. He didn't really like asking people for help but Hugh knew he wasn't going to get anywhere at this school without help. He was still getting used to the idea of being a meta-human and change is hard for Hugh.

[Paul Wilkerson]

There was an awkward moment between the two boys. Well, there was usually some sort of awkwardness with a new student. Paul knew how the student felt. When Paul started to attend at Hammel, he was a new student. The young teen learned his way around the school and which teachers were good and which ones were not so good. Paul shook the hand that offered to him. “I’m Paul Wilkerson.”

The new student was shorter than Paul. He appeared toe be a little younger than Paul, unless Hugh just had a baby face. Paul smiled. Hugh was pretty cute looking. “Yeah, I know my way around.”

Paul put his hands in his pockets. His smile turned more into a smirk. Paul had answered Hugh’s question. Paul knew what the question really meant. It meant would Paul show Hugh around. Or at least that was what Paul thought the question really meant.

“What grade are you in?”
