A dark cloud hung over the town, unmoving, as if it were observing us. Small, dainty flakes of ash and ember flew about. It clung to all but humans, the reason for this I do not know, but I intend to find out. I observe more than speak. While others are socializing I study, not books though, nature.
On the best, most beautiful of nights I lay outside, upon my house roof, a deep burgundy, and gazed at the sky, with thoughts clouding my mind. Though last night was extraordinary. I had seen a creature, more beautiful than anything I had ever laid eyes upon. Deep ebony eyes, flaked with hints of violet surrounding the pupil. Hair, as dark as a raven's feather, whipping around in the wind as this boy soared across the sky. His tanned complexion was tinted a rosy red as the wind blew across his face. I must meet this boy.
As I continued to stared out the window during my math class a small thought, suggestion if you must, crept up on the back of my mind. When the boy flew by the ash disappeared.
A bell rang it's shrill shriek signalling class had been let out. I slowly collected my tattered, old books and glided easily across the tile floor, into the flooded hallways. My bronze hair flying in all directions as I rushed to my locker. I passed so many people I couldn't even imagine to count how many. I went by people of all kinds, tall, short, jocks, nerds, preps, emo's. I never fit into any of the typical high school categories.
Arriving at my locker my mind still encased in it's neverland and kept my head facing down, to avoid unwanted attraction. The door of my rusty locker creaked open, I grabbed my gym bag and slammed the door shut immediately. Walking down the less crowded hallways I noticed the bright, flashing, red clock above a classroom's door. I'M GOING TO BE LATE! I'm never late! I mentally groaned my head lolling backwards now facing the ceiling, must've been too caught up in my head to pay attention I scolded myself.
Brought back into reality, I noticed I was now laying on the floor. I glanced up with a start. I gasped. The eyes I was now staring at were striking, and familiar, deep onyx with hints of violet, it was the boy from the sky. Shaking my head I cleared the thoughts of his appearance and noticed an outstretched hand. Hesitantly, I reached up and grasped his hand nearly squeaking at the warmth that trailed through my body from the sudden contact.
My head snapped up from its gaze on our hands and I realized the boy was intently staring at me. He smirked creating a devilish look and said with an arrogant tone, " Hello Maximum." My body went rigid and my muscles stiff, I cocked my head slightly to the side in question, squinting my indigo eyes.
" How do you know my name? Nobody knows it! Never call me that again," I hissed setting my jaw.
He smiled, " Nah, I like the name Maximum, it's different."
I sighed deeply, flaring my nostrils, seeing there was no point in arguing with him.
"Fine, but make sure you don't tell everyone, or actually, anyone."
He just flashed a half smile and shook his head, shoulders bouncing in a silent laugh in return. Slowly, he turned around and though I'm not sure, it sounded as if he whispered, "strange girl she is," under his breath.
"Wait!" I called out, hands cupped around my mouth, my amplified voice echoing in the empty corridor, "What's your name?"
Without a glance back he replied from over his shoulder in his deep, silky voice, " You can call me Fang."
