The Legend's Destiny

Caelum

I try to avoid every glance Spencer throws at me. I pretend not to notice his urge to talk to me. It kills me, but I do it for him. I quickly learn that other than Spencer, I have no friends, no one to turn to. Spencer has always been my best friend. Now that he is gone I'm left with people I see everyday yet I never bother to bat an eyelash at them. I figure, since I have no friends, I might as well just talk to anyone. It just so happens the first person I spot is none other than that geek, Caelum. Well, I have nothing to lose.

"Hi, Caelum!" I say. He turns around and he looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Hi..." He starts

"Scarlet," I finish.

"I know your name. It's just weird that you are actually talking to me," he shoots back. Wow. He's kind of rude. I try my best not to shoot an insult at him.

"Well I want to get to know more people, you included," I say.

"Ha. Was I just the first one you saw?" How did he know? I hide my surprised expression.

"No. I have just always thought that you looked like an interesting person," I shrug, not showing the fact I was lying. I could tell he didn't believe me, but he didn't say anything about it.

"Um. Okay. I guess we could hang out or something...?" He suggests. YES! I might get a new friend.

"Sure. Just pick a date and time," I try to compose my excitement as I scribble my number on a small piece of scrap paper. After I hand it to him I quickly make my way to my next class. While walking I sneak a glance at Spencer. I see he got my hint amd he was kissing some other girl. Good for him, that's what I wanted, right? Then why do I feel so horrible? This is the right thing to do. I know it is. If I had stayed with him, he totally could be my next target...I could kill him! I feel tears start to form in the back of my eyes and I rub it away. This is all a dream, anyways. There's no way I...did that...made holes in the wall...It was a dream, nothing more. I just need to...clarify, to make sure

It was officially lunch and here I am. Standing here in the Cafeteria with no where to sit and no one to talk to. I guess this is my new life, I better get used to it.

"Scarlet...you can join me...if you want..." Says a voice behind me. I whip my head around and I see Caelum right behind me.

"Sure. I have no where else to go," I reply, honestly. I turn around and follow Caelum to a table in the back of the room. No one else is there so I assume he eats alone everyday.

"So...what happened to your boyfriend? Don't you always sit with him?" I shift uncomfortably. I litterally have absolutely no idea what happened.

"We...I...He...We aren't together anymore," I finally answer after mentally arguing with myself about what story I should tell him.

"Oh...sorry to hear that," although hisw words are sincere, I can tell by his tone he couldn't care less.

"So do you mind if I eat with you, like, everyday?" I ask nonchalantly.

"Uh...sure...?" He half asks half answers. I smile to myself about the small achievement. Now that I think about it, Caelum looks REALLY familiar. I think I went to Elementary with him...yeah, I did. Huh. I guess I never noticed. Caelum was always interested in cars and action figures. I was always interested in makeup and Barbies. Oh, how life has changed. I miss those days, where the most stressful thing of the day was whether or not someone was using the red marker.
