Today, the school was abuzz with wild rumors, and was seemingly confirmed with the arrival of two certain students. The first rumor, which was that Hank had gotten himself one one of his unconfirmed fights, was, at last, confirmed. He came sporting a black eye, bruises around the arms, and walked in a slightly awkward fashion. As usual, He glared at anyone foolish enough to gape at him, naturally scaring the living daylights out of the poor victim.
The second rumor, which was so crazy that no one believed at first, was also confirmed. Of all the people to hang around the notorious boy,Emina Verol, one of the top students with the cleanest record, was last on the list, but when she arrived, he was the first one she greeted. To top it all off, she also tossed him a can of cold coffee, her favorite drink. She only gives her canned coffee to people she's close to, so why, the students asked each other, of all people, him?
The speculations went until 3rd period, and both of them neither cared nor confirmed it. Hank was generally shocked when Vee came looking so fresh and healthy from their rigorous training last night. Then he recalled that Vee was not, after all, human, at least in a sense. The bruises on her body had already faded, and she looked like she had a really good long rest, rather than just a few hours of sleep. Amazing what a heavenly being can do..., he thought.
The whole day he felt a rather inhuman chill around him, and somehow can't shake that horrible feeling. His new roomie was one rather strange fellow. He seemed to like following him around, and scowls whenever he sees Vee. He had asked his GC to do some digging on his new roomie, Richard Dantes, but so far, he still hasn't gotten any reply.
Later, though, Richard himself cornered him on his way to his next class. "Hello there, Hank..." Even his voice sounded creepy. "I've been thinking if you want to be friends with me..." Definitely a classic case of the crazies, Hank thought. "Well, I guess its okay..." WHAT THE-? WHAT AM I SAYING! But then again, I guess it couldn't hurt to humor him... "But first, you have to meet my other friend, Vee." She'd like that, I think... "Okay! The park at three then? See ya!" Allan ran off in the other direction. Definitely crazy...
Flame was so happy! He made two new friends in one day! It was a record!
