CHAPTER FOUR

The tin trash cans that lined the wall of the narrow alley way rattled as one guy landed, painfully, on top of them, knocking them all over. He looked up at the guy who threw him.

Sorren stood there, not breaking a sweat. He looked to the other guy who was, moments before, confident that he and his friend would be able to take him, now cowering in fear.

"Sorry man, you're on your own.' The guy left standing only just said as he scampered away in fear, leaving his so called 'friend' behind.

Sorrens icy cold stare imprinted into the guys mind, making him shiver in fear. Without another word he sprinted down the alley way, knocking into more trash cans and stumbling over a few times.

"Phew, that was a close one" Kairi laughed to herself, looking up at Sorren only to be faced with a scowl, she immediately averted her eyes to the boy on the floor.

"Hey, are you alright?" Kairi raced over, giving a hand to the boy. She analysed the boy a little bit to try and pinpoint who he was, but she had never seen him before, he had white hair, almost like snow and big beautiful blue eyes, but nothing like Sorrens.

He stumbled to get up, even with the help of Kairi but soon got to his feet. Kairi could see that he looked a bit nervous considering he kept looking over to Sorren and then his feet. She was surprised when he found his courage to speak; his voice was a lot deeper then what she had been expecting.

"Thank you, if it wasn't for you guys I don't know what would have happened." He bowed his head slightly and then fidgeted, waiting for their reply.

"Hey, don't worry about it! We are happy to help" Kairi cheerfully replied.

"I'm Kairi and this is Sorren, he is a bit gloomy but you get use to him" Kairi said, pointing over her shoulder to Sorren who was leaning up against a wall. He nodded his head in acknowledgement and then went back to starring at whatever it was that had him so fascinated.

"I'm Alwin, it's nice to meet you" He quietly replied.

Everything went quite as they all just stood there, not knowing what to do next.

"Would you like to come and hang out with us? We won't bite, promise" Kairi questioned, hoping for a new friend.

Alwins eyes grew bigger with hope; he was never able to make new friends. This was the first time someone had offered to hang out with him in the fifteen years he had been living.

"Um, ye- of cour- only if tha's oka- I mean… Um" Alwin had no idea how to respond and kept messing up his sentences. Kairi laughed and patted him on the back, making him bow his head and blush; he wasn't use to people, especially girls.

"Alright, alright, no need to get tongue tied, come on, let's go!" Kairi shouted, feeling all happy and bubbly inside. She dragged Alwin by the arm out of the alley way, having a long conversation with him. Alwin could hardly keep up, considering she was talking to fast.

Sorren walked behind them, allowing them to talk. He looked over to Kairi to see her smile radiating. He bowed his head and covered his face, trying to hide the small smile. He let all this troubles and worries disappear even just for a moment so he could enjoy his time whenever he was with Kairi, and now it looks like they have a new friend, Alwin.

This is going to be interesting.
