Immortals

Chapter 2

The alarm sounded at 6:30 am. It was Monday the 21st of may and Dan had to go to school pretending that nothing happened over the weekend.

Beth wasn't from school, so there wouldn't be a funeral. In fact she was an orphan and homeless girl. Nobody would do a funeral.

Lazily he ate his breakfast and got prepared for school.
The walk from his house to school wasn't long, but he enjoyed walking slowly so that he could see the blue sky above his head and the brown leaves falling from the trees to the ground. He loved autumn. The cold but tolerable weather, the red, orange, yellow and brown colours, the smell of wet earth and rain, but most of all the memories that came with it.
The memories of when he was a little boy, probably 8 years old, and his parents walking through the woods and the beach. How he wished he could go back in time and live those moments again.

As he kept walking the school came into view. He putted his earphones on and hit the music on shuffle. Not surprisingly Madness by Muse blasting in his ears.
After all the years of different music his favourites were from the 90's and 2000's, albeit he still liked classical music.

The sound of kids talking became louder with every footstep and so did his music. Not making eye contact, he headed to his classroom and sat in the corner besides the window. His usual spot.

Not paying much attention to the teacher he stared at the drops that began to fall from the sky. He followed the traces they left in the window.

The school didn't care about the little attention Dan payed in class, he had good grades. Well, if you've been more than 300 years in school it's difficult forgetting what they taught.

"Class, a new student will be joining us from now on. C'mon, present yourself" said the teacher to the boy standing in front of the class.
"Erm... Hi, my name is Phillip, but please call me Phil. I just moved here from California and I hope to make some good friends here" his face held a smile as he searched for a place to sit.
Dan hoped he wouldn't be placed beside him. He didn't want somebody who talked to him. So he putted his backpack in the chair beside him.
"Well Phil, you can sit beside... Da-" Dan gave Mr. Lecter a warning stare, if he placed this Phil kid beside him, he would kill him.
"Beside Christopher" smiling he gestured Phil to sit beside a boy with brownish hair, who smiled back at him.
"Hey, please call me Chris" and Dan brought his attention back to the window.

After the bell rang, Dan picked up his stuff and headed for the already crowded cafeteria. A terrible lunch of mushed potatoes and sausages was placed in front of him. He sat in an empty table and ate.
Suddenly he noticed someone standing in front of him. It was Phil, the new student.
"Hi, can I sit here? Chris went to sit with his friends and the table is already full." Phil asked.
Dan grumbled but allowed him to sit.
"Thank you... So, you're not very sociable, aren't you?"
"Please don't begin a conversation Phillip. I don't want to talk nor be friends with you. And this is the only time I would allow you to sit with me. So if I were you, I would begin to search for an empty space and nice, interesting people to sit with" He didn't want to be harsh with the boy, but it was the only way to make sure he wouldn't talk to him again.
"Oh, sorry." Was all he said and stared intensely at his food. After a few seconds Dan could see how tears streamed down the boy's face.
Feeling guilty he began to apologise. "Hey Philli-...Phil. Hey don't be sad, it's not personal, I do it to everyone, believe me. I just don't want any friends." Yeah... He wasn't very good with apologies, but at least he had tried. It made him sad seeing Phil crying.
Phil didn't respond. He just finished his food quickly and headed to the bathroom.

"Ugh for Christ's sake" Dan went to the boy's bathroom and searched for Phil.
He had locked himself in a cubicle and small cries could be heard.
"Hey Phil, don't cry please. I-I'm sorry... Please come out... I don't want you to cry" Phil slowly unlocked the door and looked at Dan.
"Look I'm sorry for being so rude, but I really don't want friends. And, and you're a lovely person and all, but don't get close to me... I've been through so much and I just don't want to get close to anybody anymore. So please, go and find good friends, I'm sure you'll find nice people." Dan blurted out.

Phil kept looking at him and said "Sorry... Fo-for your experiences. I...I just had a breakdown. I'm not really good socialising and all that stuff. And I accept your apology. It's just that, in my other school, I was bullied and didn't have any friends whatsoever and I don't want that to happen again"

Poor boy, thought Dan. A wave of compassion and pity spread through him.

They stood in an awkward silence until the bell rang. Quickly they headed to biology class and sat down. Of course Phil sat beside Dan, who wasn't very keen of this decision.

Anyways, class began and as the teacher spoke some shit about genetics, Dan got his drawing block out and started to sketch some anime he had seen. With all the time he had, he had seen a lot of shows and anime... Yeah he was a nerd.

As time passed, his drawing took form and Phil began to take interest in it.
"Wow, you draw really good!"
"Thanks" well he had to spend time with other things than reading, especially before the internet came.

School ended quickly after that and before Dan could escape the buildings of Saint Peter's School, Phil was stood in front of him.
"Hey, wanna go to my house and see a movie or something?"
He wasn't good socialising? Fuck that, thought Dan.
"Didn't I tell you I don't want any friends?"
"Yes, but you seem really interesting... C'mon! Please!"
"Okay, but it will be the only time I'll do this. And by the way, your social skills are way better than you think" Phil chuckled.
