Gon's POV 

I look down at the schedule principal Netero gave me. I hum. "312, huh." I walk through the empty halls, up the stairs to the third floor. This school is fucking huge! I reach my first class. I knock on the door then open the door. All eyes are on me instantly. "Are you Gon-kun?" The teacher asks. The teacher didn't have his shirt tucked in fully. "Yup!" I nod, smiling. "My name is Wing, just call me Wing-san" "Kay!" "Now, go ahead and introduce yourself Gon-kun" Wing-san says. I walk up to the chalkboard then bow.

"My name is Gon Freecss! Nice to meet you all!" I stand up fully, rubbing the back of my neck. The class starts whispering. "Go ahead and sit behind Killua-kun. Killua-kun? Can you raise your hand?" Wing-san says. I scan the room. Then, someone raises their hand. He was narrowing his eyes at me. He had whitish hair, it was going in every direction, it looked so fluffy. I walk over to him and sit behind him. "Hope we can be friends!" I say to Killua. He ignores me. I tilt my head. "Don't bother Gon-kun. Killua is mute." Some guy says. "Genthru! That's enough!" Wing-san says. The class chuckles. I frown. I can already tell, this school is full of bullies. 

The class ends. "Retz, can you show Gon-kun to his next class?" Wing-san asks. I raise my hand. "But I-" "Of course!" Retz grabs my hand and drags me to the hallway. Principal  Netero already gave me a tour of the school. "You should stay away from Killua, in fact, I pity you for sitting so close to him." I can already tell this is one of the lead bullies. "Why's that?" I ask. "He's a part of the Zoldyck family. They're total nut jobs who do underground work." I snatch my hand away. "If you're going to do nothing but talk crap about someone you don't know about, I don't want to hear it!" She looks at me like I just killed her mother or something. "Are you serious!? Fine! Be that way!" She storms off, the crowd parting for her. 

I hear a few claps as the crowd disperses. A blonde haired guy, and a black haired guy clap, standing next to Killua, who had his bangs covering his eyes, a light blush dusting his cheeks. I walk over to them. "New kid right? Good work. That bitch has been messing with this one for years" The black haired guy says. He had glasses. "Um...." I tilt my head. "It's Leorio." He holds out his hand, I shake it. "Well, thanks Leorio!" "My name is Kurapika. Nice to meet you Gon" I shake hands with him. "Ah there he goes. Killua!" Leorio says, chasing after him. 

I walk to art class with Kurapika, even though he was a senior. "Huh. Whale island. You came from a long way." "I guess." I hum. "I heard from Killua. Do you really want to be his friend?" He asks. "Yeah! Why wouldn't I?!" "Hmm. Well... He doesn't really see Leorio and I as friends. Maybe you can get him to open up." "If you don't mind me asking, why is he mute?" Kurapika and I turn a corner. "Hard to say. He's mentioned being forced to be mute before. But other than that he hasn't said." We walk into the classroom. I introduce myself to the teacher and he tells me to find an empty seat. 

After art, I head to gym and found out that I had gym with Killua! I instantly head over to Killua after we change into our shorts and gym shirt. Before I can talk, a wipe board with writing gets shoved in my face. I blink. "Why are you so interested in me?" I read out loud. "Well... I find you interesting and I want to find out more. Why? Are we not allowed to be friends?" I reply. Killua lowers the wipe board, I instantly notice him wearing a hoodie still. He erases the words, red faced. "Don't say something so embarrassing! Idiot! I don't want to be friends!" The board read after a minute. He storms out of the locker room. "Ah! Wait Killua!" I chase after him. 

"Oh? Why's the mute running away?" Genthru was in this class. Killua ignores him and heads to the bleachers. I walk over to Killua and sit down next to me. Killua looks down at a sketchbook, ignoring me. I get a good look at him. He was thin, just a bit shorter than I. He was pale, his skin so pale it looks white. He had long eye lashes. He was gorgeous. Then, Killua gets shoved onto me. I glare at Genthru, who was sitting next to Killua. "Why would you do that?" I ask, hand on Killua's arm. He was very thin. Killua snatches his arm back. "Why not?" Genthru chuckles with his buddies. 

I stand up, grab Killua's arm again, and drag him to a different section of the bleachers. When I let him go, he writes on his wipe board. "Leave it. You'll get dragged into it also. I'm not even worth it." I read out. "Well it's not right! I don't care if I get dragged in! And don't say you're not worth it! You are!" He goes to write something but stops when the teacher walks it. "You must be Gon! The talk of the school. You may call me Bisky!" "I am! Nice to meet you!" "I won't go easy on you! Alright people! Time to start your stretches then we run the mile!" Everyone but Killua and I groan. I don't mind running. I did it on the island all the time. 

As the others run, Bisky pulls me aside. "So you're probably wondering about the bullying and such in this school" I flinch. "I wasn't expecting a teacher to say something" I mutter. She laughs. "This is a different kind of school." I hum. "Anyways. You seem like a good kid Gon. I'm hoping you can change this school." I tilt my head, staying silent. "Right. About Killua. He's not like his family, despite what everyone says. Killua, you might as well say he's chained down by his family. He is unable to break those ties himself-" "I'll break those chains!" I say. Bisky pats my back. "Atta boy! Now get at it!" "Aye!" I run back to the crowd, unaware of what is next to come.
