The man looked at the ashy haired boy, got up and limped away as if nothing really happened. The woman also walked away looking dejected—not even thanking the boy for helping her out considering her ambusher had the strength to kill her.
"And you," The boy started to say, turning around to look at me directly in the eye. "What are you doing scribbling away over there?"
I crumpled the letter and tucked it into my undershirt—probably the only thing that survived on my journey to the capital. "It is nothing, just a letter."
"Where's your family?" The boy asked in a snooty voice like he was a know-it-all.
"Back in the Shinganshina District." I answered, clutching my fist. Something about this boy made me want to punch him. First the snooty attitude, and now the little pitiful look in his eyes.
"Not much of a family le—" He started until someone behind him tapped his shoulder.
"That is not something that you should say to person that is grieving, Jean." The boy said smiling to the light brown haired boy. The light brown haired boy just looked at the darker haired boy as if he had something to retort back with, but thought better of it.
"I am not grieving because no one is dead." I calmly stated as I inspected the newcomer. This boy had dark brown hair—almost the same length as the ashy brown haired boy, but minus the bangs—distinctly had freckles, warm chocolate eyes that would belong to a guy that would make any girl smile at her worst days, and finally, this new guy was just barely taller than the other boy.
"There is no shame in losing a loved one." The boy was still smiling at me. I felt a shiver go up my spine but I ignored it for now. "I mean, we've all lost someone." Now the smile was gone, and also the haughty look in Sean's—Or was it Jean?—eyes. "Enough about the sad talk! Are you thinking about joining the trainees?"
I blinked. How did he know? Was the first thing that I wondered. ". . .I was considering it." I chose my words wisely. Who knew what these two guys were thinking.
"Well, Jean and I were considering it also! You should come with us! The army might need someone with a strong physique like yours, even though we are all just a bag of bones. I'm Marco Bott by the way, and you?"
"I'm Aries," I tried to smile back, but the mind block didn't help. "Just Aries."
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you." Marco said and nudged Jean to say the same back, which he begrudgingly did.
Dear mother,
One step closer to a new beginning, a new life, something to explore and do different about humanity. I am not sure whether I am excited about joining Marco and Sean—Just joking, it's Jean. But anyways, I might not be able to write back for a while now since I have to undergo training. Tell little Johnny that I love him, and I hope to see you all soon! ~ With love Aries
