Hybrids Among Us
Chapter one!
_ Hybrids Among Us _
I walked into school, trying to avoid everyone I saw. "Hey freak. Where do you think you're goin?" Someone said. I knew who he was. His name is Blaze. He's my hell on Earth. I tried to ignore him, but I was soon held back by his goons. "I said, where do you think you're goin?" He asked again.
"You asked." I corrected.
"I what?" I asked me, raising a fist.
"You asked. You did not state something, you asked." I said.
"Shut up, nerd!" He slammed his fist into my gut. They laughed as I gasped for air.
And this is just because I'm different. I'm not even from this planet! I hate Human High School. I just want to go back to my home planet in the Zeta Reticuli star system. The Humans have nicknamed us Greys. But we like to call ourselves Zetas.
I am a Hybrid Alien. A program allowed to take place between the Zetas and Humans by our governments. I appear Human, but I have eyes that are 2.5 times bigger than a Human's eyes. My height can get as big as 5'5", as to a human can grow to around 7'. Any taller than that and it is an indication of another alien. I am 4' now with brown hair and blue eyes. My head is bigger than others due to the size of my brain, and I am 16 in Human years. But I will live to be 237 at least.
Everyone knows of our exists trance now. It started secretly in the Human year 1954 with their president Eisenhower. We agreed to give them 'superior' technology in exchange for our breeding program. We were allowed to abduct Humans in this area to perform experiments. We eventually produced Hybrids that were able to reproduce. 300 years later, the Humans reverse engineered our technology to fit their space exploration. They discovered our home planet and we made another treaty.
Now, in the Human year 2525, we are living together 'in peace'. And I am lying here on the floor, crying. Because I am the only Hybrid in this High School. And I am bullied by the damned Humans.
Not even my parents are Hybrids. They're not even Zetas. They say they care about me, but if they really did, they would move me to a school with more Zetas or Zeta Hybrids. Like somewhere in Florida. It's very hot and humid there in the summer. Just the way I like it. Unlike the dry, cold air of North Dakota in the winter.
Now, I have to get out of my thoughts, and face 'life'.
I picked myself up, and went to my ext class, even though the bell had rung 15 minutes ago.
I arrived at my Math class with Mr. Zanders. "Nathan, would you care to explain why your late?" He asked. I looked towards the back to see Blaze holding up a fist.
"No." I replied. Everyone in the room snickered as they knew why I was always late.
"Quiet!" Mr. Zanders barked. "Just tell me Nathan."
"I-I can't." I stuttered.
He sighed and continued with class. "Then would you explain the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation?" He asked.
"It describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket. A device that can apply acceleration to itself, or a thrust, by expelling part of its mass with high speed and move due to the conservation of momentum." I answered. I slumped back into my chair as I saw everyone staring at me.
"That is correct. Nathan, I would like to see you after class." Mr. Zanders said. I slumped into my chair, trying to hide for the rest of the class period.
After class, everyone left while I sat in my seat.
"Nathan, I understand you have no friends here. That is why I would like to tell you, that there is another Zeta Hybrid coming to Fingal. Maybe you and her could be friends." Mr. Zanders said.
I looked down. I knew I would be too much of a nerd for her. I wouldn't even have a chance. "Maybe." I replied simply.
"It has also been brought to my attention that Blaze is bullying you. Now this is either payback from one of the other students, or he slash she cares for you." Mr. Zanders said.
Another Human caring for me? Preposterous. No one cares for me. I'm not even sure my foster parents care for me. "It's true. I have bruises to prove it. Line his fist up with my bruises, and you will get a match." I said.
Zanders sighed. "Why didn't you tell me before? We could have helped you."
"Because no one here likes me. The kid who told you probably saw me being bullied and saw it as a chance for revenge on Blaze." I said. "Besides, the kid who most likely told you was Toby." I saw the surprised look in his eyes and knew it was true. Toby hates me too, but not as much as he hates Blaze.
"You are dismissed. Go home." Zanders said. I grabbed my stuff and went to my locker.
I was lucky today, Blaze wasn't waiting for me anywhere. Only 5 attacks. That's a record.
Once I got home, I immediately raided the fridge for fruit. I found a bag of grapes and an apple. I went to my room and ate. I took out my iPhone and played my favorite game music. Halo.
I soon fell asleep with an apple core in an empty bag of grapes by my bedside.
I woke up the next morning with a knock on the door. I quickly changed my clothes and opened the door. Upon the sight waiting for me, I fainted.
