I was so stupid to think that I would ever have a chance with him. What was I thinking? He's amazing looking and super nice, and I look like I just rolled out of bed. I slowly walked to my locker pushing my forehead against the door of it. Thinking... "Hey are you okay?" Surprised I spun around quickly as I could catching the tears that had fallen. It was the same guy from yesterday, the one that knocked me over. "Were you just crying?" He asked as his eyes widened in surprise.
"N-No!" I snapped back as a reaction. This guy is NOT going to see me like this.
"Oh, well I wanted to check to see if this pencil was yours, but you look familiar..."
"Does knocking a girl on her butt in the middle of the night ring a bell..?" I mumbled with a smirk.
"... Ohh! You must be the new girl. I guess we didn't really officially meet yesterday and kind of got off on the wrong foot." He said with a sincere smile. I wasn't impressed. "My name is Death The Kid." He continued with that rehearsed 'say cheese' smile. Death The Kid? What kind of name is that?
"Oh, uh my name is Iris." I said trying to keep my mind together.
"Well Iris, you must be here for a reason, what class are you in?" He insisted taking a step toward me.
Pull in out my schedule hesitantly I said, "Uh, looks like I'm in Professor Stein's class."
"Do you know how to get there?" his eyebrow raised.
"Well... My guide kinda abandoned me."
"Guess I should take over then." He told me and flashed a quick smile. I quickly turned my head away as my cheeks turned pink. I saw Soul and… her. Holding back anger and tears I looked back at him.
"O-okay.." managed to come out of my mouth as I followed him down the hall. Looking around, I noticed many of the kids at this school seemed to lack all seriousness, were any of them really as strong as they said back home? Everyone feared these people, but they are just acting like normal kids.. This guy though, he seemed so different, grown maybe? Mature? "Uh.. Death-"
"Please, call me Kid." He inturupted, "It's a lot easier to talk that way, and the formality isn't necessary." He looked towards me and smiled, his bright golden eyes looking straight into mine. I lost myself in them for an instant then caught myself. 'No Iris'
"Oh, okay then, Kid," He looked down at me again with the eyes. A gentle smile crossed my face, "Thank you."
He looked down at me in complete shock, "Anything for a friend." That simple line had gotten right down to me like nothing else. I'm not sure if I was happy or sad. Maybe because of earlier still, but for some reason I couldn't put my finger on, tears started to flow right as we reached the door marked as 'Stein', "Well, here we are," he stared down at me and saw the tears streaming off the one side of my face. Grabbing my shoulders he turned me to face him and pushed the hair from my eyes. "Don't worry it will all be okay, I promise." His eyes penetrating into my own, and he smiled at me, differently this time. I felt the warmth come from the inside as well as the out. He took his fingers and wiped the tears streaming from the right eye. Smiling even more he whispered, "I'm sorry, it was the symmetry."
