XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jackson smiled as he placed different books in his arms, even though he was loosing his balance he couldn't help but smile as one by one a book landed in his mountain of reading. Though he may not look it he loved to read, and he was a fast reader to.

"Angel, do you want to check them out?" His face lit up as he nodded quickly, causing Jackson to laugh. He stopped thinking he was making fun of him, gently placing the book down he lifted his hood, covering his face. "Angel?" He picked up the books and began to walk to the front desk, "you coming?" he asked Jackson, who nodded and followed.

The lady looked at him, and the tower of books he hold, she stared at Angel and narrowed her eyes at him. Causing him to flinch back, "and why do you need that many books?" she asked, her voice ice cold.

Angel didn't answer, her eyes reminded him of things he didn't wish to remember , Jackson answered for him. "he loves to read, turns out he wasn't allowed to read over 10 books" She gasped "oh why is that?"

He didn't want to answer her, placing the books on her desk, he pulled his hoody even more up causing only his lips and nose to be seen. "Can i please check these out?" he didn't even here her answer as she began to scan them handing them to him. A loud screech ran through the halls next period is starting. "i have to go get some books from my coffin i'll see you at the scream-attirea!" he screamed as he ran off leaving him alone as he began to walk out of the library.

Angel's hand were full and he couldn't see very well, darn his nerdy self for getting so many books. He stared at his feet hoping to see any other feet in case someone got to close to him. 

Step,step,step, so far so good he hasn't hit anything or tripped over anything. But he never noticed someone about to open their coffin, until it was to late. He crashed into the coffin sending his books every where some even landed on him. Though no sound of pain came from his lips he could feel a bruise begin to form on his arm.

"you ok?" He looked up at an older boy, with snakes on his hair? He didn't answer him afraid he will yell for bumping into him. But, all the boy did was pick up his books. "are you hurt?" his voice was kind but strong, he couldn't help but feel protected just by being near him. A hand passed by his eyes bringing him back to where he was, "hello?" 

Quickly he stood up and gave him a nod, a gently sigh passed through the boy's lips, "that's good for a minute there i though you got hit in the head" he shook his head and moved his arms around quickly showing him he was ok. The boy laughed, "i see your just fine," He handed the books to him, "um, don't you think your caring to much?" Angel could hear the worry in his voice, but he didn't think before he spoke, again.

"there's never enough books" his voice was strong but still small. The boy's smile grew and nodded, "i suppose not" Angel gave him a small smile an nod, "well um.....bye"

He didn't even make six step's before tripping once again, his face bloomed a bright red, as the boy laughed. Gently he pulled him to his feet before picking up the books once more, "I'll help" he said to him, and picking more than half of his hand. He tried to protest but he wouldn't take no for an answer. "it's the least i could do, i did hit you with my coffin."

Angel laughed a little, accepting his help. As they walked in silence, The boy didn't really seem to like the silence but Angel had no idea what to say. A small tongue licked his head, causing him to let out a(girly) shriek. 

Looking up it was the snakes that were attached to the boys head. "oh sorry um,.....they usually never touch anyone" He shook his head and gently began to pet them, he loved hearing them hiss in pleasure , some even curled around his finger gently kissing his knuckle.

He let out a small giggle as he tried to pull his hand away causing some to hold on as though they didn't want to. A small groan caught his attention, the boys face was slightly red. He pulled his hand back. Mumbling a small sorry. 

The boy smiled, "its ok....i just never though they would ever let anyone but me touch them" He glanced at him, "oh,...they don't like being touch by anyone but me and my family" He nodded in understanding.

"um...where is your class?" the boy asked him with a gently voice. Angel shook his head, "lunch" he said. "mmm i see,...oh i never told you my name did i?" He shook his head and waited for his name. "i'm deuce, you are?" "Angel" his voice was quiet and gently never actually telling someone his real name without them making fun of him.

"cute name it suits you, you do look like an angel" the boy said gently, smiling at him. He blushed beat red trying to hide his face in his hood that somehow knew he was nervous and decided to cover him.

Not to far away Cleo stood as she watched everything and the look on her face was filled with nothing but disgust and hate for that boy beside her pet snake.
