Alois' part.
Alois looked glumly out the window at the ever increasing amount of rain. He looked, crest fallen, down to the pavement where it landed, disturbing the glass surfaces of the puddles. He hated rain. At least when he couldn't go out and play in it. It was almost time for school and he couldn't get his new uniform dirty and wet. He and his big Sister, Lizzie, had just moved to London. His mother and father died when Alois was young, leaving himself and his sister in the care of his grandfather. Last year, dear old grandpa died of a heart-attack. It might seem sad but Alois really hadn't cared much; the man was a pedophile; he swore to God. He had always looked at him so strangely and had his hands /somewhere/ on him almost all of the time, on his shoulder or on his back, it was fucking creepy! Good riddance, Horny old dog.
So, now that left his Sister, eighteen years old by that time, to look after the family business. A large chain of Children's Book Stores or something of the like. He wasn't quite sure. But she had chosen just to shut it down. "Only an idiot would read books when there are perfectly functioning televisions" or so she put it. Really, she probably just didn't want the responsibility. Well now that left them with a fortune to do whatever they pleased with. Or, more accurately, whatever Lizzie pleased. Apparently London has "All the hot fashion and all the Hot Men." So here they were, in their giant new Manor in London. He was even going to a fancy private school, hence the uniform. And it was so /cute/! It came in white, maroon and dusk blue. He chose Maroon. It was a button up shirt with a collar. Around the neck was a pretty white Lacey bow and the pants, or rather shorts, were black. He loved it! It was so Victorian looking! He felt like a doll!... But the 'shorts' went all the way down to his knees. He'd have to modify them. And with all the money he and his sister had, like they'd tell him he couldn't.
A loud crack of thunder shocked him from his thoughts. Oh god, he hated thunder storms! He knew that was rediculous for a boy of his age, but they were just so... Scary! Whenever thunder broke the gentle rhythm of rain all he could do was think about when he was young and alone and afraid in his big dark bedroom. The thunder would rumble, engulfing the sounds of rain and wind. The lightening would iluminate the dark corners of his room with a surreal ghostly light and cast grotesque shadows on his wall. He would pull his blanket over his head, tears streaming down his face as he lay awake waiting for it to end and the ghosts to retreat back to their graves.
"Alois!"
He turned from the rain drenched window as Lizzie walked into the room. She threw him an umbrella. He looked at it puzzled.
"Well, get walking or you'll be late." she said.
"Wha-Walk! But it's pouring! Aren't you driving me?"
"No, i'm being picked up by some friends cause we're going to the mall after school." She said, glancing at her watch.
"Friends? We've only been here five days!"
"Yeah, I know. Big sissy works fast, huh?" She said with a smug face and a mock pout.
They both glanced to the window as, outside, a car horn sounded.
"Oh, they're here. Better get walking, Alois!" She said heading out of the room and to the stairs.
"But, can't they drive me too?" He followed her through the hall.
"No, they're my friends! Get your own! You have two perfectly functioning legs, use them!"
"We're going to the same place!"
"Aww, too bad, sooo sad." Her voice echoed up the stairs as she disappeared behind the corner.
He heard the door slam and he looked down to the umbrella in his hands. Okay, it was alright. He wouldn't let this ruin his mood. He would go to his new school and make new friends and he would be happy here. He could walk to school in a thunder storm. I mean, how scary could it be?
He yelped loudly, almost dropping the umbrella as a loud crack of thunder rumbled from the dark sky.
