The laptop hummed to life, and its screen glowed with a brilliant light. Chris waited for it to finish its boot, and then logged in. He needed to print out his report before class started, so that he could turn it in. For some reason, the computers always worked faster and their screens shone brighter when he was using them.

The sheet slid out of the printer tray, and he began walking to his first period class. Upon entering the classroom, he noticed a new student. He was extremely pale, and his hair was white. He looked about fifteen, the same age as Chris. As he sat down, the teacher began roll call.

"Christopher Kapor?"

"Here"

"Elijah Hale?"

"Here"

The most pure voice Chris had ever heard came from the pale boy. It sounded like bells, but he almost heard his own voice his somewhere. He shuddered, unnerved by Elijah's strangeness. His eyes were a golden, topaz color, but they had tinges of red near the pupil. Chris shuddered again, and turned around. He did not look at the boy again, but he could feel Elijah's cold stare on the back of his neck. The teacher was speaking, but he heard nothing. He was at once frightened and fascinated with this boy. He barley noticed when the bell rang, and had to rush to his next class.

In his science class, Chris was building circuts for a fan that he was building for his class project. He finished soldering, and placed it into the casing. The fan should have been finished, so he plugged it into the wall. The fan came to life, whirring as it blew air onto the classroom. Chris grinned as he unplugged the fan, and he stuffed it in his backpack so that he could test it further at his house. From across the room, Elijah Hale studied Chris with his golden eyes.
