Chapter 2
The following day, Lily walked to school in the early morning. She was always one of the first to cross the gates of Miyagi High. She sat at a lunch table, conveniently near her first period class. She looked over to the class and saw a boy of about her age exiting the class. Who's that, she thought. She had never seen him before. Probably a new kid. He had really light blonde hair, and blue eyes, and slightly taller than Lily. I was strange to see a new kid enter this late in the year. But oh, well. She didn't give it too much attention.
As soon as Raivis got to where she was, the bell rang shortly after.
"Right on time," said Lily, greeting, and grabbing her backpack to go to Biology. Raivis simply did the same, to not be late or anything. He barely made it anyway.
Entering class, Lily corner-eyed a very familiar guy, sitting down a few desks away from her. It was the new kid she saw in the morning. Interesting how he had same first period as her. Also explains why she saw him walking out the class.
But anyway, despite the mystery, she ignored it. Class started and everything seemed fine as always.
It didn't seem, it was all fine as always. Although one thing, it seemed odd that the teacher didn't introduce the new kid to the class. Guess you don't do that kind of thing anymore, considering it was already May. Oh, well.
Later the next day, Lily ate her lunch as usual, with Raivis sleeping next to her. On the following lunch table, she caught hear of a few of her classmates talking about the new kid in her class.
"He was very quiet the whole time," whispered Anri to Elizabeta, "He seems very weird compared to everyone else."
"What if he's like...I don't know, mute or something?"
"Not too sure. But I do admit he is kind of cute- looking," said Anri, with a small giggle.
Elizabeta just rolled her eyes a bit,"Do you think he was home-schooled and that's why he doesn't speak much?"
"Probably. I mean, I saw him yesterday hanging out with some kids. They seemed to be a grade higher."
Upon hearing this, Lily's curiosity just kept getting the best of her, growing bigger and bigger. She wanted to get to know this kid better. After all, it wouldn't hurt to make a new friend.
Next class was P.E. To Lily's surprise, the new kid was also there. She saw this as an opportunity to talk to him. All the students were waiting for the class to start. The teacher/coach had been late and needed time to arrange equipment. In that while, kids were just around, chatting until lesson began. The new kid, who later Lily learned to be called Emil, was sitting down in the corner of the gym. Lily took her time to plan what she would say before walking up to him. After seconds of thinking, she walks over as politely as possible and gives him a warm smile.
"Hello there," She greets as polite as ever.
"Hi.." said Emil. His voice sounded low and emotionless. He didn't even look up to see who was talking to him.
Lily kept on smiling," So..I see you're new here, right?"
"It seems," again answered Emil, the same very way he did the last time.
"So...Do you...like the school so far?" asked Lily, still making an effort at a possible conversation. Disappointedly, Emil still showed not half the interest.
"It's ok," he said yet another lifeless, emotionless time.
Lily didn't want to give up in such ease. "I see..well, is there-"
"Do you need something?" interrupted Emil, this time looking up at her, with a blank face, hard to read.
Lily started to feel a bit nervous but managed to still be polite," Ehh, no. I was just wondering if-" A second time, Lily was interrupted. But this time, Emil had simply gotten up and walked away, as the class was about to start. That wasn't very nice, thought Lily. He didn't even show the slightest manner of being nice. It was indeed disappointing to get that so peculiar reaction. It just made things harder for her effort of getting to know him. All that there was now is the fact that he's even more mysterious. Couldn't even hold up a conversation? That's strange if you asked Lily.
