Chapter 1: First Day Jitters.

Okay just relax, you gotta calm down it's your first day what could possibly happen.

Subtly punching himself in the side first year student Drake Maxwell silently cursed himself for thinking something so stupidly. Of course now the world was just going to make sure everything went badly for him but then again it shouldn't matter the world seemed to do that to him on a daily basis he had learned to deal with it but that still didn't mean it was going to go that well for him.

"Hey will you chill out you're starting to freak me out a little." He looked towards his sister one Trisha Maxwell before sighing heavily and whispering back to her, "You don't think I'm trying it's not exactly easy to do that and you know it." Hissing out the last part he turned back towards the front back to his thoughts as he softly groaned, he shouldn't have come here he wasn't ready to go back there was no way coming to Beacon was going to help him in the least. At least that's what he told his parents but they insisted that if he came to Beacon and became a hunter that maybe he would be able to concentrate and finally feel...normal. He frowned shaking his head slightly, normal, he hated that word it was something he could never be something that was as foreign to him as what lied beyond Remnant and yet here he was easily passing the acceptance test, much to his dismay, and after one bumpy flight filled with annoyingly loud girls and one air sick guy they had made it and were promptly walking around the grounds waiting for the ceremony to begin, though they still had time before it started all that did was leave Drake to his thoughts and that was something he never liked.

This is going to end badly and you know it. You shouldn't have come here. Jumping out of the airship would have been better than this. You're never going to be normal just stop trying. Grunting slightly as he turned to his sister who was glaring at him, "Will. You. Calm. Down." Each word a hiss as he shrugged slightly, "I didn't do anything." But upon looking around him, he could notice the other students staring at him or at least casting glances his way and that wasn't helping his case, with every look cast his way his skin started to crawl his anxiety flared up and his paranoia shot through the roof. They already know about you. They see you're not like them. They know not to trust you. They know you're not normal. You don't belong here. His breathing began to increase steadily rising with his heart rate feeling it pound away in his chest before a hand grabbed his arm causing him to act on reflex and pull away, but when it wouldn't let go he looked down seeing his sister holding on to him her face urging him to relax and that everything was going to be alright, "You're going to be fine just stop talking to yourself, none of it is true." Taking a few breaths he slowly calmed down looking away from his sister as he gently pulled his arm from her grasp, he hated this the feeling he got and having to rely on her she didn't know what was going on with him only him and his mother knew it just hurt when she figured it was just nerves, it wasn't that he didn't trust her it was more so out of her protection but in the end it just felt like it was protection for him. The less people who know the less that can hurt you. "I'm fine..."

He walked away from her towards a small pond kneeling over the edge and looking at his refection in the rippling water, Heh I look normal enough. Drake was average height and build a little muscle definition here and there with all the training he had to go through after being accepted nothing special though, he had shaggy black hair just the way he liked it much to his mothers dismay though he did try to fix it on occasions to please her but nothing could really keep it down the way she liked it. His eyes were a stormy gray, How fitting considering the storm that's always in my head, shaking his head a bit he smiled a bit an occurrence that was rare and not many people except for his family had ever seen though it was for a reason as his smile grew as it normally did when he rarely smiled his lips pulled back to show his teeth to which his smile quickly fell. They would seem normal enough to anyone who happened to glance at them and they probably wouldn't notice how sharp his canines were which would probably be for the best as he leaned back sighing heavily.

"You alright?" Trisha walked over to him placing her hand on his head just like she always did. Sometimes he wondered why she was so nice to him, but then his mother always told her to be if he didn't notice the differences he would swear Trisha was a copy of her, though where his mom had medium length black hair Trisha's was down to the center of her back. Where she had blue eyes Trisha had bright emerald-green eyes she was a little slimmer than their mom was and a bit shorter than her but everything from how she acted to her caring personality was an exact copy of her. Drake stood dusting off his pant legs nodded silently, when he got like this Trisha knew better than to push to may questions on him though sometimes he wished she would then it would keep his thoughts at bay. Should have never come here. Never going to be normal. They will all hate you. Turn their backs on you.

"Hey." He turned towards Trisha the softness in her voice catching him by surprise as she jerked her head towards a large out-door theater, "I think they're starting." Drake nodded and followed his sister, he wanted this to be different he wanted to be normal he wanted to finally be able to relax around everyone and not worry about every little thing that he did. He just wanted to feel normal and if his parents really though coming to Beacon would help then he could at least try to give it a shot, even then a gnawing feeling came over him that this was just going to end badly just like it always has, shaking his head he stood up straight his head held high as he walked through the arch way of the amphitheater seeing the crowd of students he felt his façade falter but he held strong. Things would be different this time they had to be or else he would have nothing left.

You will fail.

Yeah it's not the best beginning but then again I'm not the best at starting stories let alone finishing them HA my girlfriend could tell you that but this will be something I intend to finish OH but first.

Ahem, yeah I get writers block...a lot, like a lot a lot so updates won't be consistent meaning some days I won't post anything other days I might post multiples in a row but please please be patient with me if you are really interested to see this story take off all that I ask is please be patient with me.
