Unfazed
ep 1
Principal
Well everything seems to be settled
Principal
I’m happy to welcome you to our school
Principal
Here’s your class schedule and all other information you’ll need
Principal
I hope you have a easy time settling in
Principal
One of our best students should be here any second to show you around
Liam fidgets with the papers in his hands, his eyes staring down at them nervously. He’s nervous about starting at a new school
Principal
Oh there he is now
The door to the office opens and a young man steps in with a friendly smile
Cody Hayes
I’m here to show the student around
Principal
Yes, he’s right here
The principal gestures towards Liam, and Cody turns to look at him as well
Liam slowly raises his hand to wave slightly before raising his eyes as well
Cody Hayes
I’m Cody, it’s nice to meet you
Liam Wilson
I’m Liam, it’s nice to meet you too…
Principal
Cody, please show Liam around the school and to his classes
Cody Hayes
Of course sir, leave it to me
Liam stands up and follows Cody out of the office and down the school halls
Cody Hayes
So, you just move here or something?
Cody Hayes
Must be weird starting in the middle of last semester
Cody Hayes
Well I hope you are able to get comfortable here
Cody Hayes
You don’t say much huh?
Cody laughs as they reach their first destination
Cody Hayes
So this here is the cafeteria, where everybody eats….obviously
Cody Hayes
And right across from here
Cody turns and gestures to down the hall
Cody Hayes
Down here is the gym
Cody Hayes
You like sports?
Liam Wilson
Um…..I’m not a fan of playing them…
Cody Hayes
Ok fair, a lot of people aren’t
Cody Hayes
What about watching them?
Cody Hayes
Well there ya go
Cody Hayes
Now let’s move down this way
Cody starts walking along down the halls and Liam follows
Cody shows Liam the school and the classes
Cody Hayes
So which is your first class
Liam looks at the paper with his schedule on it
Liam Wilson
With Mr Garason
Cody Hayes
Oh I have that class too
Cody Hayes
Guess that works out well for both of us
Liam Wilson
Yeah, I guess it does
Cody shows Liam to their class and they both head inside the classroom
Teacher
Cody, I was wondering where you were
Cody Hayes
I brought the new student with me
Teacher
Oh hello, you must be Liam
Liam Wilson
Yes sir, that’s me
Teacher
Come in, introduce yourself
Teacher
Cody you can take your seat
Cody sits down and Liam walks over to stand directly in front of the class
Teacher
Go ahead, tell us about yourself
Liam Wilson
Um,,, my name is Liam and I just moved here to green-creek
Teacher
Alright then, you may choose an empty seat
Liam looks around and finds an empty seat near the back and sits down
ep 2
After the bell rings, signaling that the first class is over, Cody stands from his seat and walks over to Liam who is packing his things into his bag
Cody Hayes
How was your first class?
Teacher
Excuse me Mr. Wilson
Liam looks over at the teacher who signals him to come over to his desk
Liam walks over to the teachers desk and Cody follows
Teacher
Here’s a small packet I’d like you to do sometime this week
Teacher
Just so I can see where you are at
Liam Wilson
Alright, I will
Teacher
Good. Have a good day you two
Cody and Liam leave the classroom and start walking to the next class
Cody Hayes
Ok, can I see your class schedule
Liam hands Cody the paper. Cody takes it and starts scanning over it
Cody Hayes
Looks like we have most the classes together
Liam Wilson
Maybe that’s why they paired us up
Cody hands the paper back to Liam and starts leading him to the next class
Cody Hayes
So, is there a reason your family moved here?
Cody Hayes
Or just randomly?
Liam Wilson
Um well, me and my mom move a lot usually
Liam Wilson
My mom…..just doesn’t like staying in one place for long
Liam Wilson
But she said this time is different….
Cody Hayes
So maybe you’ll stay longer
After a few classes, it’s now time for lunch
Cody leads Liam to the cafeteria again
Cody Hayes
If you’d like, you can sit with me at my table
Liam Wilson
Ehh….i usually just sit alone
Cody Hayes
Come on, I don’t want you eating alone on your first day
Liam Wilson
I’m fine really
Cody Hayes
Then what if I eat with you, at a different table
Liam Wilson
…..why are you so persistent on this?
Cody Hayes
I’m just trying to be nice
Liam Wilson
…..well you don’t have to. You can go eat with your friends
Cody Hayes
…..I’m gonna eat with you
Liam stares at him confusingly before sighing
They head over to an empty table and start eating lunch
Cody Hayes
So, you like any after school activities?
Cody Hayes
There’s a lot here at green-creek high
Liam Wilson
No I don’t, not really
Cody Hayes
Well is there anything you like?
Cody laughs slightly and rests his chin on his hand
Cody Hayes
Any in particular?
Liam Wilson
Well I like all
Liam Wilson
Big, small, mammal, reptiles
Liam Wilson
But I really like dogs and wolves and anything of the sort
Cody Hayes
Dogs and wolves? Those are some good picks
Liam Wilson
……..do you like anything
Liam asks, trying to not be rude and ask Cody about himself as well so it’s not all about him
Cody Hayes
Well I do like playing sports, that’s something I guess
Cody Hayes
Well I play basketball but I really love football
Cody Hayes
And I’d say I’m pretty good at it
Liam Wilson
You play for the school?
They both went silent and ate their lunches awkwardly
After a little, Liam finally spoke up
Liam Wilson
Um sorry if I’m making things awkward
Liam Wilson
I’m not really good at this whole….conversation thing
Liam Wilson
Or meeting new people
Cody Hayes
No it’s alright
Cody Hayes
You don’t have to apologize
Suddenly, someone put their foot on the table’s bench while throwing their arm around Cody’s shoulders
Aiden Smith
Hey man, why you sitting over here?
Aiden Smith
Everyone was waiting for you at your normal seat
Cody Hayes
I just decided to eat with Liam today
Aiden Smith
Well he can join as well
Liam Wilson
No thank you, I’ll stay here
Aiden Smith
Well I guess I’ll stay too
Aiden sits at the table, setting his lunch down
Aiden Smith
Nice to meet you new kid, I’m Aiden
Liam Wilson
Nice to meet you too…..
Cody looks over at Liam worriedly, noticing the nervousness from him
ep 3
After school, Cody and Liam walk out through the front doors together
Cody Hayes
So what did you think of the school
Liam Wilson
It’s….a school
Cody Hayes
Well, if you ever need help finding something or any questions, feel free to ask me
Cody Hayes
And if you need someone to hang out with, you can also ask me
Cody Hayes
Well, see you around
Liam nods before walking away. Cody watches him from the steps by the door
Aiden Smith
He seemed nice
Aiden Smith
A little skittish for me but still nice
Aiden says as he walks up beside Cody, swinging his arm around him
Cody Hayes
There’s something about him…..
Cody Hayes
Never mind, I’m gonna head home
Aiden Smith
Alright, see ya
Cody leaves and heads to his place
Liam reaches his home which is about a 5 minute walk from the school
He heads inside the house and calls out
There’s no answer, so he sighs and heads upstairs and into his room that’s still full of unpacked boxes
Liam sits on his bed and reads a book for a little bit then he gets bored. He decides to look around the house but that got boring too
He thinks for a moment then decides to head outside
We wonders into the woods behind his house and it’s actually beautiful
The trees are not to far apart but just enough, the leaves are spread out on the ground with the sun shining down on them
Liam walks through the forest deeper and deeper while enjoying the view and the scent of nature
Then suddenly theres the sound of leaves crunching behind him and he whips around
As soon as he does, he gasps and falls back onto the ground
He wasn’t expecting anyone to actually be there but there is
Liam Wilson
You…..scared me….
There in front of him, stands a big black wolf, larger than any other wolf Liam has seen before
The wolf just stands there, staring at Liam who is still on the ground
Liam Wilson
Ok….just don’t hurt me ok
Liam slowly stands from the ground, trying not to startle the wolf
He’s lived in places with wild animals before so he’s not to afraid of them
Liam Wilson
I’ve never seen a wolf so….big
The wolf takes a step forward which makes Liam freeze
Liam Wilson
Ok it’s ok, I’ll leave
Liam Wilson
I didn’t mean to intrude in you space
Liam steps away to leave but the wolf starts quickly walking towards him
Liam Wilson
E-Easy there boy
Liam Wilson
I’m leaving ok?
Liam stares at the wolf for a moment, confused why it seems so calm and not at all hostile.
The wolf stares as Liam leaves watching him closely
Liam heads back to his place and up to his room
When he reaches, he opens his laptop and starts searching about wolves
Liam Wilson
All of these different wolves aren’t that large….
Liam Wilson
Why is this one different?
Liam continues searching but can’t seem to find anything on it
Then he hears someone call him from downstairs
Emma Wilson
Liam, come down here
Liam closes his laptop and rushes downstairs
Emma Wilson
I’m going out tonight
Emma Wilson
You’ll have to figure out your own dinner
Liam Wilson
What am I supposed to do for dinner?
Liam Wilson
We just moved here, we don’t have anything-
Liam flinches when his mother yelled and his head drops down immediately, his eyes staring at the floor
Emma Wilson
DON’T TALK BACK TO ME!
Liam Wilson
I’m sorry, I’ll figure something out
Emma’s voice quiets down and she fixes her hair before grabbing her purse and putting it on her shoulder
Emma Wilson
Now I’m leaving, behave
Liam keeps his head down until Emma leaves and the door closes behind her
Liam let’s out a long breath and wipes his face with his hand
He scans the kitchen and looks in the fridge but there isn’t any food
So he heads upstairs and grabs some of his own money before leaving and heading to a nearby grocery store
As he walks down the street he feels someone behind him so he turns around
Liam Wilson
…….are you….following me?
Cody Hayes
What! Oh no I’m not following you
Cody Hayes
I’m just heading to the store
Liam Wilson
You live down that way?
Cody Hayes
Yeah, my house is that blue one right there
Liam Wilson
……I’m the white one next door
Cody Hayes
What a coincidence
Cody laughs and looks back at the house before looking at Liam again. Liam looks at him for a moment with suspicion but then shrugs
Liam Wilson
Um anyway…. I’m gonna head to the store now
Cody Hayes
Well since we’re both going there, wanna go together
Cody walks up to Liam and they both walk to the store together
Cody Hayes
So why are you heading to the store at this time?
Cody Hayes
Same. My mom forgot to pick up some milk and she needs it for the recipe tonight
