Day 1

W
hen he walked in, the class gasped and then looked away. The new kid definitely made an impression. Tessa couldn’t help staring, even though she heard her mom’s voice in the back of her head saying that it was rude. The boy had blond hair, average build, nice clothes—oh, and terrible scars over the right side of his face. Whereas her classmates turned away in disgust, Tessa found him fascinating.
What happened that he was burned that badly?

Mr. Steele introduced him to the class. “Students, this is Kevin Reese. He is a transfer student from our neighboring state of Kansas. I hope all of you will welcome him to our school.”

There was general groaning and shifting of feet. Nobody liked being told what to do, and
no one
wanted this freak in the class—except Tessa. She spent the class period sneaking glances. The boy looked straight ahead, ignoring the snickers and pointing going on around him. Tessa had a good view of his burns. The shiny red scars went from his temple, across his cheek covering part of his lip and continued down to his neck. The neckline of his shirt covered the rest of it. Tessa wondered if his chest was covered in scars, too. She figured it must be, because his right hand was scarred and he was missing his index finger and thumb.

Whatever had happened to him, it had been bad. He was probably lucky to be alive, but that mattered little to the others. They only reacted to his appearance and Tessa had to admit he looked pretty shocking.

When the bell rang, Tessa got up to introduce herself. Brian pushed in front of her and mumbled to the new kid, “Freak, you should have stayed in Kansas.”

The new boy didn’t acknowledge Brian, but rushed out of class before Tessa could talk to him. Samantha came up beside her. “Isn’t he gross? I can’t believe they let him come to school.”

Tessa kept her feelings to herself. There was no point in talking to Samantha about the new kid. She wouldn’t understand. Although Samantha was her friend, Tessa knew her limitations. Being open-minded was
not
in Sam’s character.

The rest of the day, Tess heard people talking about the new student, calling him the Freak. Most of the girls just made fun of his looks, but the guys seemed to take his existence as an affront to them personally. Tessa didn’t understand it. Why would they care?

That night in bed, she closed her eyes and imagined Kevin turning towards her in class. She could see the sparkle in his blue eyes and imagined a lopsided smile on his lips because his scars prevented a full smile. Her heartbeat increased. What was it about him? It was as if some unknown force was drawing her to Kevin.
