"Silent Shadows: The Hidden Truth"

Part 2

Alto was surrounded by the group of students from other classes when Professor Tyler, there Physics Professor, enter the class. And just behind him a girl with brown hair and honey eyes entered.

"She must be new, never saw her before." Alto whisper to Zaiden while the other students left.

Professor Tyler was glaring at Alto because of the disturbance he had created but Alto just ignore that as usual.

The new girl was standing there confidently.

"Everyone settle down we have a new student here and I need all of you to help her out. I don't want any kind of complain. Is that clear?" Professor Tyler stated for the last part looking at Alto as if just talking to him.

Zaiden was staring at the new girl and blurt out "She's so beautiful." Alto tried to control his laugh because of how Zaiden is drooling at her with his mouth slightly apart.

"You can introduce yourself now." Professor Tyler gesture her towards the class.

"Hello everyone! My name is Veronica Bloodstone. My mother is a painter and my Father is a doctor. I love to keep alot of company around me and I hope we all get to know each other." She said.

"Good to know you Miss Bloodstone. You can sit behind Xavier" professor Tyler said. Xavier was sitting on the same row in which Zaiden and Alto were.

"Dude, I found the love of my life." Zaiden whisper without looking at Alto cause he was still drooling over Veronica. And that's when Alto lost it and start laughing his head off, he fell off of his chair still laughing rolling on the floor.

"Detention Mr. Coldwell and Mr. Forrest." Professor Tyler snapped.

Alto's face drop listening to the words and Zaiden got back to his senses. Now looking straight at the board.

Actually that wasn't new for both of them because Alto was always a troublemaker and the professors put both of them in detention cause they were both always together.

Professor start teaching about Vernier caliper and they all listened carefully. Zaiden was a bright student and never missed any lecture while Alto was an average student and always zone out during the lectures.

After class, Professor Tyler left the class.
Zaiden stood up from his chair and walks where Veronica was sitting.

"Hullo Beau'iful!" Zaiden said in the worst British accent he could muster.

Veronica was holding her laugh but Zaiden was oblivious to that.

"Is tis sea' is available." He asked. But Arlo beat him to that and stood beside him.

"Darling this lost puppy here is sick mentally." He said whispering the last part leaning closer to her. "So I'll lead him back to where he came from."

"No it's okay. He can sit here." She replied while giggling.

Zaiden felt proud of himself and sat with her. Arlo got back to where he was sitting before a bit disappointed with the girl. Zaiden and Arlo made eye contact and Zaiden puffed his chest out to show him that he was being proud of himself.

Arlo just shrug and called Eyrix for company.

Zaiden asked her "So, where did you lived before coming here?"

"In New York City." She replied without even looking at him. She was more interested in the physics book Infront of her.

"Oh, then why did you settle down here?" He asked.

"My mom have Enochlophobia which means she can't stand crowds." She said.

"I'm sorry to hear that." He comment.

"It's okay....... Uhhhh .... Zaiden can u please leave. I don't think so I want anyone's company right now. Veronica asked.

"Sure. Why not? I'll just leave then and again I'm sorry." He awkwardly replied.

Veronica nod and Zaiden left.

"After School"

"Come on Zaid, it's been a week we haven't gone to the park" Alto said.

"I'm tired. I don't want to go, maybe tomorrow?" Zaiden complain.

"Ugh You're no fun." Alto stated.

"But weren't you suppose to be home by now." Zaiden tried to reason with him.

"I... Told mom that I'll be back at 3:00 which means we still have an hour." Alto said.

"Okay." Zaiden sighed.

"Lets GOOOOO." Alto shouted with alot of enthusiasm. Zaiden chuckle and follow him.

They both arrive at the park.There was an old entry gate and entering the park there was alot of flowers. Lilies, Roses and tulips blooming. And a swing which was also quite old but still can be use. Zaiden' favourite thing about the park was the lake. The lake which holds most clear water.

"Its water is still more clear than my future." Alto remark.

"What a pity we can't swim in it." Zaiden stated.

It was rumored that the lake was cursed and whoever tried to swim in it would drown.

Alto walk towards the swings, sat on one of them and start swinging on it. Zaiden also sat on the other swing but without swinging it.

They both visited the park everyday in there childhood.

"Hey! Remember when I pushed you off of the swing when we were eight." Alto said with a smirk.

"Yeah and I left you here alone. You ran back home crying it was the best thing." This time it was his turn to smirk.

"I was crying cause I saw something in the lake." Alto said

"Okay, if that helps you to sleep at night." Zaiden said laughing.

"Anyways, what about that new girl what was her name..... Uhh .... Yeah Veronica." Alto asked.

"Her, She's beautiful and I'll ask her out on a date tomorrow." Zaiden said with a dreamy look.

"I don't think it's going to work. Don't you think it will be too soon?" Alto questioned quirking his eyebrow.

"Yeah I guess so. Should I wait then?" Zaiden asked.

"I think so. I know nothing about dating but still tomorrow will be too soon." Alto reasoned. Zaiden hummed and stood up.

"Lets go home. Mom would be stressed." Zaiden said.Alto agreed and both left to go to there own houses.
