Fear not that which hides in shadow
Noir Lune Mab Eleuthera absently twirled her pencil between her fingers, resting her chin in her other hand.
She'd been attending Spencer for nearly a month now, long enough to know who's who and what's what. Which classes to look forward to and which to dread beyond all reason, aka History.
She tossed her head back to rid her vision of the long black uneven bangs that simply fell back into place unbothered by her futile attempts. Though they were styled and cut to do just that it was, on occasion, annoying.
While glaring at the offending hair her gaze caught hold of something more interesting. A blond boy across the room looking just as bored as she felt.
Reid. His name floated to the surface of her mind as she studied him, again. The other girls all twittered and cooed whenever he looked their way or walked by. He basked in it, or remained indifferent, usually basking was his preferred choice.
Noir didn't follow the norm on many occasion, and this was no exception. She'd glance at him with the same indifference he gave to so many others. Something wasn't quite right about this boy, something about him spoke to her too well.
She watched him turn to face her unbothered by being caught staring. They'd played this game before on occasion, sometimes he caught her sometimes he did not. Neither mattered, it wasn't as if she'd blush and duck behind her books like every other girl.
Even when he blew her a kiss, a sudden new addition to this game she remained unfazed, while he looked confused by the complete lack of effect.
Noir shrugged at him and leaned back into her chair closing her eyes.
End moon to near moon she had been in this place for reasons untold. Sat in these classrooms and learned nothing of what she yearned to know.
At the very least she'd been here long enough to make friends.
Noir sighed, it wasn't that she didn't want friends, or that she thought herself above these people. She'd simply been raised within a pack mentality. It was not that she had been isolated from the world, no she knew the basics, how to act, what to do. It was just that you did not invite yourself into an already established pack, or clique in this case, you had to be invited.
She groaned quietly and fell forward to rest her head on her books while mentally scolding her former back. They'd sent her away just like every other seventeen year old within their midst. They could have at least banished her for the seven years independence with another of her brethren. But of course it was not their way.
"Tell me about it," A soft whisper intruded on her thoughts.
Noir opened her eyes to glance to the dark skinned beauty who sat next to her this class.
Kate smiled knowingly, "This is my most hated class too."
Noir couldn't help but grin, she liked Kate and considered her the closest thing she had as a friend in this place even though she was a bare acquaintance.
"With all the blood and adventure in history its amazing how boring they can make it."
"I know!" Kate's smile grew, "Give me Troy any day. I mean I totally learned something from that movie."
"Brad in long hair," Noir grinned even bigger as she allowed the mental picture to overflow her mind.
"Mmmm…" Kate replied softly.
The two girls sat in dreamy blissful silence for a few moments before the end of class was upon them and they each stood quickly to gather their things.
"Hey Noir!" Kate yelled at the black haired girl's retreating back.
Noir turned back and waited for Kate to save off her nearing companions and follow down the steps.
"We're all going to Nikky's tonight if you'd like o join us."
Noir hesitated calculating.
Kate quickly took the silence differently, "It's just, well I've noticed you haven't really made any friends here. If that's how you like it that's cool and everything-"
Noir smiled again, "No it's not that at all and I'd love to go out tonight."
"Great! I'll come by your room around ten ok?" Kate looked almost relieved as she turned to leave.
"Kate," Noir stopped her and met the darker girl's eyes, "Thanks."
"No problem."
Ok so really this story is done. Finished, written beginning to end all I have to do is update it which I make absolutely no promises about. Will when I can. But the fact is I am writing two original fiction on fictionpress and at least three other stories here on that have priority. They only have that priority because readers review. You want this updated bring it back to my attention with reviews. The next chapter will hopefully be up soon. Thanks for any review you give.
