The Sir & The Her.

======

They're living a life which is but a maze full of dead ends. They think they are looking for an exit. But what they don't realise is that there is no exit. And the only way to break free is for them to find each other. And stay together.

======

He…

…was once like the rest. Happy, childlike, innocent. But how is one to remain so, living such a life as the one he lived? How is one to be innocent; living a life surrounded by pure evil? How can one not be influenced?

He was born and brought up to be like them. Cunning, devious, scheming. It was a life which seemed impossible to break free from. A life full of twists and turns and dead-ends.

So he built up his own wall around him. A wall of ice, it seemed. Yet it was, at the same time, a wall no one could quite see through. To everyone else he didn't care. To them he was cruel, arrogant, cold. Everything wrong. Everything bad. Everything evil.

He returned smiles with glares. He made it so no one could reach him. He didn't bother to explain himself. So no one could ever see the soft, beautiful side of him. So no one would be able to see his tears. So no one would ever take pity on him.

His 'friends' were simply those who walked around school with him. Those who joined him for dinner. Nothing more. To him, they were all just faces. The same person wearing many different masks.

But with each day that passed, he grew weaker. He was falling apart, like a building, which once seemed so tall, so strong.

Every path looked the same, so much that he began to wonder if he really had a choice, wonder if it were all just a trick. A prank. Perhaps it was made to look like he had a choice. So later on he would regret taking whichever path he had. But what are regrets when you don't really have a choice?

And somehow, his cold front simply made the rest more interested in him, more insistent on knowing him, on breaking that wall. Heads turned wherever he went. Yet he walked past all of them without a second glance. Didn't they understand? He was ice. He wasn't going to melt for anyone. Ever.

But then… there was her. And he hadn't counted on that.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeview!! I'll give you a kiss and a hug and plenty of chocolate chip cookies! (: Really.
