Chapter 3: - Chp 002: The Girl He Saw
Black's POV
"Is there something on my face?" Asked the boy. I was probably staring at him for too long.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something." I replied. "Thanks for the heads up." I placed my sketchpad in my bag, and then stood up to walk to the door. I don't need friends. I can do just fine on my own.
"Hey, wait!" The boy exclaimed as he grabbed my wrist. I looked at him, probably with an angry expression since he flinched a bit and loosened his grip. He scratched the back of his head. "I was just thinking maybe we could go there together..." He was fidgeting. Obviously he isn't used to handling with aggressive people.
I sighed loudly. "Fine." I replied. "Let's go... Uh..." I realized I forgot to ask his name.
"White. My name is White Cicatrice. Nice to meet you!" He smiled as he put his hand out for a handshake.
"My name's Black Variton." I replied as I returned it.
While walking to the next class, I looked around, secretly hoping I'd see somebody else with color, but to no avail. I looked at White. He had short, messy black hair. He looked like he just woke up. He was wearing a grey hoodie with bright yellow ducks in the middle of it. It was honestly very tacky, but I don't judge. I have horrible taste in clothes as well. I noticed the school pin on his ID. I guess he doesn't wanna stick it on his clothes.
In our school, the school pin is to show you're a student studying here. It's also to gain access to most of the facilities. Libraries, painting rooms, digital arts room, even the cafeteria. My school pin is located on the pocket of my pants. I stuck it there since it was the most convenient place for me.
"We're here." White said. I guess we have been walking for a while. I didn't notice it.
"What was our next class again?" I asked.
He chuckled. "Don't you have your schedule with you?"
"Schedule?"
"Oh, what? You really don't have one? It's given at the ground floor."
I guess I didn't notice I had to get one. "I'll just get one later."
"Then, where were you supposed to go earlier? Right after I told you it was time for the next class, you just stood up and started to walk."
I didn't really think that through... "I had no idea where I was gonna go. Guess it was good that I decided to stick with you." I winked. "So what's the next class?"
"Sculpting."
Sculpting, huh? I've only tried painting and sketching. I have no idea how to do this.
"You scared?" He asked.
"A bit. Don't we have normal classes here?"
"We have Math, Science, and English too, but on different days. And don't worry about sculpting. We're not gonna be doing anything today. It's just introductions."
I guess that does make sense. It's still the first day.
"Come on. Let's introduce ourselves to everyone else." He said as he grabbed my arm and tried to pull me inside.
Introduce myself? What the hell do I say to him? That I can't talk to other people like him? Hurry, Black. Think of something...
"Actually, White." I took his hand off my arm. "I'd rather just be alone. Sorry." I said as I went inside the classroom.
This is better, right? I did say I didn't need friends. There's always a chance that it could happen again... I'd rather not take any risks.
The classroom was a mess, but I guess I understand why. We needed space to sculpt. I looked around for a place I could just sit down and sketch. It's not like I have anything better to do anyway.
I found a seat by the window, but it wasn't really a seat. It was more of a chest. I'm guessing it must be for storage. I didn't really mind since I could see the beautiful sky again. I've already finished drawing that, so what else do I do?
"Don't you think he looks cute?" I heard a female voice say.
"Oh yeah. He does." Another one replied. "Do you wanna go up to him?"
"Stop! It's just the first day."
I looked around to see who it could be and it was just some grey female figures talking.
"Oh my God, he's looking at us!" They both waved at me.
What the hell? They were talking about me? I was so sure it was somebody else. Why would anybody be talking about me...
"You look like you're popular." A voice behind me said. It was White. He sat beside me.
"I thought I told you I wanted to be alone." I told him.
His happy expression turned into more of a sad look. "Come on, man. I just wanna be friends with you."
"I guess there's two hot boys here now." I heard the same two girls talk. "Don't you think they look cute, Lilac?"
I looked towards their direction and saw a third girl in their group. Was she always there before? I guess she must be the one called Lilac. Her color's also grey, so there was no point paying attention to her.
"I guess." She replied.
"Maybe we should go introduce ourselves." The first girl said as they chuckled, but not that Lilac girl. She had a sad look on her face. Almost like a look of fear.
"Let's go to the bathroom." She said.
The other two girls looked confused at first, but eventually followed her.
"It looks like I'm not the only popular one here." I jokingly said. I looked at White and saw him blushing a lot. "Woah, are you okay?" I asked.
"Y-yeah! I'm fi-fine!" He answered very nervously. "Sorry, I'm just not used t-to those kinds of compliments." He lowered his head, looking rather sad. Guess I have to be a good classmate.
I patted his back. "I'm not used to it either, but I just don't pay any attention to them. I mean, what bad could a couple of compliments do, right?" I told him. Now that I look at White closer, he was a bit thinner than a normal person would be, but he does have the looks.
He stood up. "I'll be right back. I'm just gonna go clear my head."
"Go ahead." I replied as he walked out.
Now that he's gone, there was silence again. It was so quiet... So peaceful... I didn't notice, but I started to doze off...
