Story thus far
Prologue: Matthew Lefranco is the popular kid in school. Matt lives in a semi-luxurious apartment and has parents that both love and support him in all ways. He plays in the school's basketball team and is admired by most of his peers. Not many dislike him because even thought he is popular, it seems that he is modest enough to get along with anyone, but is very competitive.
Ryan Apollon is quite the opposite however. He seems to be the outcast of the school. Not many approach him and if that wasn't enough to make him feel more of of place, he has a dark secret. This secret is the reason he is now homeless and alone. Now Ryan is entering his senior year and has somehow managed to make it into the school's basketball team.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”

Matt stared at his locker in the locker room. He took a moment trying to figure out what exactly had happened. He had been walking home last night when out of nowhere a dark figure came up behind him and threatened to kill him. Matt was confident in his fighting ability, but there was no doubt in his mind that this man was armed. Matt raised his arms calmly, "Look man, just take what you want and-." he tried to tell the man, but before he could finish the sentence, it seemed like a blunt object had hit him behind his head. Matt fell to the ground and saw that the mysterious figure had used the handle of his gun to try to knock him out. His vision began to get blurry and as he was about to faint, he managed to see the shadowed person get attacked by some sort of beast with a dark growl.

"Hey man, snap out of it!" a voice said to him. Matt turned his head and it was his friend Josh. "You alright there Matt?" Josh asked, "Don't be gettin' all absent minded on me buddy. Coach is gonnna post up the roster of who made it to the team this year." Matt was not worried. He knew that he had made it, not because of his amazing talent or anything, but because most of the other players had graduated. "Go check it out, I'll be there in a second." Matt reassured him, and with that Josh was out of his personal space in a heartbeat. Matt watched as a mass amount of students rounded up outside of the gym door, hoping to get a spot at being popular.

"Why go for something cold and dead, when you can have something hot and panting?”

✗ "..I don't understand.." Soft words whispered in a light chatter, his breath turning white as it touched the cool air. Crystal blue eyes stared desperately upwards towards the moon as it shone brilliantly in the sky. The world was silent as everyone slept, but still, so many things were being said. So many things were changing, being created and born. "I don't understand!".
Shouting out angrily and in frustration, The man slowly hugged himself as a chill went through him. He couldn't remember anything, he didn't know where he was, who he was or why he was there. His eyes squeezed shut and a tear slipped down his cheek, falling to the ground. It was in that moment that he felt that strange warmth stir in his stomach, comforting him and compelling him to take another look at the bright moon. The beautiful moon. How it felt so comforting to him for some reason. The young boy reached out for it and in that instant his hand had begun to grow fur. The boy panicked. "..I don't understand... who?... what?... Why?!" he yelled as his fangs and nails grew. At this point his body had been entirely covered in dark gray fur. It was just was him now. Him...and the moon.

✗Ryan woke up. He sat up on the bed breathing a bit hard. He calmed his breath and let the cold sweat dry up. Ryan got up and dressed himself. He knew he could shower at school if he needed to, not that anyone would honestly come close enough to smell his body odor. Ryan felt a little on edge today because today was the day his whole High School experience was on the line. He knew that today the roster that showed whether or not he made it onto the school's basketball team. Ryan grabbed his bag and headed out of the empty apartment that he has been squatting in for the last three weeks.
Ryan made it to school. The anxious feeling kept growing larger and larger and he approached the gym building. He noticed that a huge group of guys had already been there, circling outside of the locker room. "That must be where it must be posted." he told himself as he waited for people to clear out. A couple of minutes passed, and one-by-one people with disappointed looks or huge smiles on their faces left.

"Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can.”

Matt continued staring, hoping to remember more about that night. It wasn't until the absense of sound hit him and he noticed that the group outside of the locker room had begun to subside. Matt opened his locker and put his stuff away. He closed the locker, and made his way to the locker room door. He waited by the door until the last person left. As that person walked away he stood in front of the posted roster, ready to examine it when at the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of another student.

"Why go for something cold and dead, when you can have something hot and panting?”

✗ Ryan got up as soon as he saw that the last person had begun to leave, but as quickly as he stood up he stood in place as another person came out of the locker room. He was hoping that he'd be alone when he would check it out, but he was getting impatient, so he he just walked over to it. He stood next to the blondish boy. The blondish boy seemed to be roughly the same height and didn't seem to be very. His eyes drifted off towards him, "Heh, he smells kinda nice...and very familiar..." he thought to himself as he changed his attention back to the roster. He examined it for a minute and to his excitement he managed to get in. His face brightened up and a big smile grew across his face. "Yeah!" Ryan yelled out as he clenched one of his hands still holding his smile.

occ: no probs : )

"By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are"

The list seemed to go on forever. It took a minute until finally Matt managed to find his name. He wasn't surprised, but secretly felt a bit of relief and happiness. His congratulations to himself was short lived as it was interrupted by the guy standing next to him. He turned to him. The guy seemed pretty cute with his animated antics and his goofy smile. The guy seemed kinda out of place however with his faded shirt and ripped up stained jeans. It took a moment, but Matt's eyes widened. He felt he knew this guy from somewhere, like if he saw him somewhere before. He brushed off the thought, "So, with all that jumping and that smile of yours, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you made it onto the team. Congratulations." Matt said as he offered his hand off to the stranger.

"Why go for something cold and dead, when you can have something hot and panting?”

✗ Ryan turned to the guy that stood next to him. He felt a bit embarrassed and shook the guys hand. "Haha thanks a lot pal. I was really nervous about getting on here so it really is a great relief." he rambled onto the stranger. "Not to sound out of place or nuthin, but uh, did you make it onto the team?" Ryan asked, hoping he had not offended a potential friend.

“Man is not, by nature, deserving of all that he wants. When we think that we are automatically entitled to something, that is when we start walking all over others to get it.”

Matt was a bit confused with this guy. "Does he seriously not know me?" he asked himself. It wasn't very common for someone around this school not to know who he was. In a way, he was glad that this guy didn't know him. "Yeha, I did make it onto the team." Matt smirked and pointed his finger onto the top of the sheet. He pointed under the title of team captain.

"Why go for something cold and dead, when you can have something hot and panting?”

✗ Ryan took a second to let it sink in. "He's the freakin basketball team's leader? Great...now I know I should've showered somehow." he told himself as he felt all sorts of different shades of red come up onto his face. He quickly let go of Matt's hand and slightly bowed at him. "What the f*ck are you doing?! Why are you bowing?! Stop it! You're gonna look like some sort of creep!" he yelled at himself as he brought himself up and smile. "Heh...well, uh. That's pretty awesome. The name is Ryan by the way. Ryan Apollon." Ryan said to his new teammate still feeling embarrassed.
