Silver Never Looked This Good
Lost
It was noisy, I knew it would be so it didn't bother me, it wasn't a horrid messy noise either, music played a bit too loud mixed with talk and gossip. I tightened my hand around the leather handle of my suitcase as the other clutched the strap of my bag, which was slung hastily over my shoulder. I'm glad it was noisy because it drowned out the sound of my boots tapping against the black marble floor. It didn't stop the people from looking at me though, I wouldn't be surprised if most of them were talking about me, not as though it'd bother me either way, I don't care what people think of me.
My only problem was that I was lost, lost in this huge building, a building I was going to live in for the next two years, what a great way to start as a junior. I let go of the strap of my bag to push a strand of brown hair from my eyes, sighing without meaning to. Two boys, not too far from me, stood near the wall one had a hand clutching at his blonde hair, but I couldn't see his face, his back was to me, the other, a smaller one, looked frustrated and continued to shout at his elder. "Look I told you it doesn't matter, I can't change it, I didn't even do it."
Out of pure habit, I stopped and watched the two argue. "They're called rumors for a reason, Cloud, I didn't do anything." It was the smaller boy still, he was tugging on his brown hair, they looked very alike from where I was standing. The taller boy, Cloud, shook his head and grabbed the brunette, pulling him into a hug, I watched the littler one sigh before averting my gaze, so I wouldn't catch their attention.
"Look Sora," I heard the blonde speak now, he had a deep voice but not to extreme, it was peaceful, even with an air coldness. "You're my little brother I'm supposed to bug you like this." I looked over to them again, seeing Cloud's gloved hand rustle the brunette's hair. "I don't care, really, she's just a girl, a girl with a bad attitude, and an addiction to new clothing." The smaller boy, Sora laughed and pulled away from the hug, wiping his eyes even though there were no tears.
I felt myself turn towards them, boots rapping in the sudden silence, I sighed again when the blonde turned to me. He had gorgeous blue eyes but they looked cold, and hurt. I felt the eyes of other students on me but ignored them along with the growing nervousness in my stomach. I tilted my head slightly, looking to Sora, addressing him because he looked more willing to help. "I'm new here..."
"Obviously." The blonde cut me off, I glared at him, noticing the small brunette doing the same. I wasn't noticeably shorter than him but still had to look up slightly to see him roll his eyes. This guy wasn't going to get along with me very well.
I tightened my grip on my suitcase, the butterflies in my stomach completely dissipated, I continued to glare at Cloud, even though I was talking to the smaller boy. "I don't know where the rooms are, and I'm tired of walking around the hallway with these bastards lurking around." The last comment was directed to Cloud and both the boys knew it. I felt a hand clasp around my free arm, and I started to the sudden touch, more surprised at who had done it.
"You're in your third year right?" It was his voice, Cloud's, he didn't look too happy, but I nodded anyway. "Then you'll want to follow me." He didn't make it so that I could say yes or no, his grip tightened on my wrist and he began to drag me, almost causing me to leave my suitcase behind.
I heard Sora's footsteps behind us, they were hurried even though, to me, we weren't walking fast. We turned the corner, barely missing a group of girls walking past. There was a small weight on my shoulder that shifted, and I quickly pulled my hand from Cloud's grasp and yanked my bag back to its spot near my neck.
All the footsteps stopped, and I could have sworn I heard people around us gasp, there was a click of a boot, and a rustle of clothing that gave away the fact the blonde was turning to face me. I felt myself stand taller, pulling back my shoulders to match his high and stance.
I saw a hand, my hand, clasp his shoulder as I walked past him, "I can find it from here." My boots clicked again, no one else moved so there was no other noise. Did I do that? Damnit, I don't know my way.
