Damian


He guided Simon through the house to his room. Luckily it was as he left it, the bed was properly folded and his desk was burdened with piles of his burning paper, the paper he used to practice burning with his scythe. His case was hung behind the door and he put his scythe into it. He went to the closet opposite the bed and said"Choose what you want"

"No way"

"What?"

"What are those ?"

Damian looked at his closet, piles of clothes were hanging, all a primary colour. He couldn't see what was wrong with his clothes.

"Why is it all just one colour?"

"Why does it matter. You asked for clothes, not a shimmering dress. If you want that you can go to Pearl" he said. He was used to people making fun of his fashion sense. He honestly didn't care about clothes as long as they are clothes.

No, it's fine" said Simon"Just pass the black one "

"Here "he replied giving him the black t-shirt. Simon wore it though it was a bit small, along with a pair of track pants.

"Well let's go, "Simon said, looking at him expectantly.

"Relax for a bit" he plopped down on his bed and gestured for Simon to follow. Simon sat down slowly.

"Its been a while since I've spoken to a male spirit user, though it won't be for long"

"Why, I saw many male spirit users your age also what do you mean not for long, I mean its fine if you don't want me as a friend"

Damian laughed"Oh no, I'm happy to be friends with you but after your first class you won't want to. Also, you may have ulterior motives of becoming my friend"

"What ulterior motives ?" asked Simon clearly baffled.

"Nothing. Let's go help the girls clean the house and then ill show you your room."Damian grinned.

Simon

After an hour of removing toilet paper from around the house, it became 8 pm. He took a tour of the house minutes after. It was not that big, with 5 rooms, a living room, kitchen and a backyard. He was sure that the backyard was 

"It's your first day tomorrow you better go to bed" Rose advised.

"What about dinner?"Simon asked. After a day of running from annoying birds, claiming a spirit and meeting Mr Blind Man who is not blind, he was famished.

"Here"Pearl threw an energy bar. He caught it and ate it whole. His head swarmed with thoughts and he fell to the ground.

"Why did you give him the one with-"The world went silent.

He felt rough and sturdy pair of hands carrying him and his head hit something, probably a door. He was dropped on a sea of comfort and he slept like a rock thrown in the sea, that is to say pretty well.

The next morning, Simon woke up and looked around him. There were just a bed and a desk beside it with an alarm clock and a new set of clothes. Behind the bed was a french window showing a magnificent sight of the sun rising from the east.  The room was small in comparison to Damian's but he did not mind. The time on the alarm clock displayed 8:18. He remembered Damian telling him that training started at 9:00. He got up and changed into another set of colour clothes by the ever-so-fashionable Damian. He was still confused by Damian asking whether he wanted to become his friend for ulterior motives. Did he have some large sum of money or something?
