***Chapter 2***
**I stood there shocked at the scene infrount of me.**
**Summer was on the ground and Antonio was protectively beside her of her, and infrount of them was Dave, Javier, June, Leni and Dustin. They were grinning from ear to ear as June dumped cold water from her water bottle on Antonio's head.**
*"Hey, bones your in the way"*
**Javier said shoving Antonio, Javier is one of our classmate, a tall blonde with brown eyes and dimples, he wore the most fashionable clothes available for "Z's". He was one of the few people in my school that was reborn, but unlike me he didn't hide it he bragged about it to everyone and used it to pick on others at every giving oppotunity. He was the ringleader of his pathetic group of bullies**
*"Yeah, skeletons shouldn't be out with chubby little dorks, it will make people want to vomit just looking at the both of you"*
**Leni said laughing at Summer, she was a cheerleader from our school who thinks makeup and fashion is the most important thing, she was a bit short but confident, shoulder length brown hair and hazel coloured eyes, if you removed the large amount of makeup on her face she was just a plain looking girl**
*Agh, what a waste of time*
**Dustin said irritated at the sight of us, he is Javier best friend and partner in crime. He has dyed black hair, he wore sunglasses even though there wasn't any sun, it was cloudy, it was just a stupid attempt to look cool**
**I rushed to Summer's side and helped her on her feet making sure she wasn't hurt before glaring at them**
*"What's wrong with you guys, you could have hurt her"*
**I was furious, glaring daggers at them**
*"What?! Your blaming us?, FYI that hippo bumped into me I could have broken a nail!!*
**Leni said annoyed, she went to Javier's side with a pouty face**
*"Javiiii, make them go away there hurting my eyes, with there ugly faces"*
*"They are not even worth the trouble"*
**June said flipping her hair and looking down on us**
**Dave just stood there silent, he was the lackey for them he was holding tons of shopping bags and didn't talk unless spoken to**
**Ash was fuming as he stepped infrount of us he glared at Javier. If looks could kill Javier would be dead by now**
*"How dare you insult my friends just because you went through a rebirth,I don't care if you can use a blessing or not, if you lay a hand on them, I. WILL. MAKE. YOU. REGRET. IT."*
**Javier stiffened, he was shocked and a bit scared but he won't let Ash talk to him like that and get away with it. He raised his hand in a fist and a dim orange glow surrounded his fist, he was activating his blessing. If you looked closely you could see a pale creature fly near his shoulder, before Javier's fist connected with Ash's face. Ash flew back from the impact not stoping til he hit a wall, hard, falling slowly to his knees he coughed a ton of blood**
*"Such big talk for a useless "Z".*
**Javier said smirking happy with the result of his attack. His friends laughed behind him.**
*"Come on let's leave these waste of space alone, I'm can't waste my time on losers like them".*
**Javier and his friends left laughing. Antonio and Summer rushed to Ash. They helped him up taking him to a close by bench. We sat him down giving him water to drink**
*"Are you ok?,I'm so sorry it's all my fault I should have been looking where I was going, I'm so stupid."*
**Summer was at the verge of crying, she was trembling**
*"Don't worry Summer it's not your fault, they would have found another excuse to beat us up even if you didn't bump into them."*
**Ash said spitting blood on the floor then wiping his mouth, he didn't want Summer to cry because if him so he smiled**
*"Besides it would take a lot more than that to knock me out, so wipe those tear off, you are way more cute when your smiling"*
**Ash grinned and pat Summer on the head, as she wipe away her tears**
*"I think it's better you go home Ash,we can talk about the examination and results tommorow."*
**I said concern written all over my face**
*"Yeah I guess, won't wanna stain your bedroom with blood, see you guys tomorrow then"*
**Ash said smiling and stood up, he was in so much pain but won't let anyone help him. He waving at us goodbye before walking off the other direction**
*"Summer I'm so sorry, I should have done something to help but instead I just froze up."*
**Antonio finally spoke up, I could see he felt guilty even though his wet hair covered his eyes**
*"It's not your fault Antonio I should have watched where I was going, you should head home as well, so you don't catch a cold."*
**Summer smiled at him**
*"Yeah I guess I should go too, make sure you gat her home safely kev."*
**Antonio ran his hand through his wet hair so it didn't cover his face anymore, he lightly punched my shoulder and hugged Summer bye as he head off to a different direction**
*"We should head home too"*
**I said as I walked beside her. We walked in silence not sure what to say to one another.**
*"If you master you blessing would you do mean things to people like Javier."*
**She said, broking the silence**
*"Of course not, I would never."*
**I answerd shocked she would think I would ever do something horrible like that**
*'Yeah, I know I was just, worried. I don't want them to take you away, kevin"*
*"I don't want that either but there nothing I can do about it, the test results will be out in two days and then all the "Z's" that are reborn will be taken away"*
*"What if we run away?"*
*"To where?, And even if we had somewhere to run away to I can live my mom and sister, our lives are here."*
*"I know but... I'm going to miss you."*
*"I'm going to miss you too"*
**We walked the rest of the way in silence. When we reached her door I hugged her goodbye then crossed the street to my house**
**It was a two story building, under was a shop that my mom rubbed and upstairs was the apartment we lived in, perfect for three people**
**The store was closed but I had a spare key, I opened the door and walked to the back climbing some stairs that lead to the apartment untop**
*"Mom I'm home."*
**I said as I opened the door of the apartment**
