Shades Of Red

Chapter One

Walking into the big blue doors, Ace clutched the folders close to his chest and tried to quietly find the Headmasters office.  His Aunt told him that it was a big school, not a freaking castle!  Taking a long corridor, Ace was completely lost in thought as he wasn't looking where he was going.  He could hear laughing coming from the end of the big corridor, only to end in yelling at him.

"Yo! Is that kid an Albino?"

"Ain't he also the new kid? Hey!"

Stopping his tracks, Ace lifted his head to be met with three older kids in dark blue school uniforms. One girl, two boys. They ran up to Ace in excitement, only to stop literally two feet from him. By taking a couple looks at them, he noticed their more unseen features.  The girl had short dark brown hair and large hoop earrings, one of the boys was a dark skinned kid, a slight chubby. The other boy was very scrawny with strawberry blond hair that goes down to his shoulders.   "Wow, are you a real Albino?" touching his white hair, Ace nodded. He was just like his mom. Pushing the girl away, the scrawny kid stepped up. "What's your name?" the kid was obviously Irish.  "Ace."  he said a little quiet. "So you are the new kid, i'm Oliver, other there is Charlie," the girl waved. "And he's Harvey. Do you want a tour of the school?" Oliver asked. "I'm just trying to find the Headmaster. If you help me?" Ace had a tighter grip on his folders as he asked Oliver. He smiled, "of course, just follow me." Oliver motion behind him and Ace walked right beside him.  Going down the rest of the corridor and taking a left, the two were met with a large double door painted with white carvings. "Here we are, i can introduce you if you want? But if you want to go in alone tha-"  "Ill like it if you introduce me. If it's not much trouble." Ace rubbed his neck awkwardly. "Nah man, no trouble at all." Oliver went over to the doors and knocked. He could hear a Come in from the other side. Oliver waved his hand for Ace to come there. Now by his side again, Oliver opened one door and both of them walked in.  taking notice a man in a large office chair filling out papers, he didn't see the two walk in.  

"Sir, I have the new student here." the man looked up and right at Ace. a bright, nice smile spread across his face.  "Ah, Ace Smith, welcome. Just let me get your schedule." his voice was a tad deep, and when he stood up, he was pretty tall.  He had went into a room in the back.  While the two waited, the door had opened and the two whipped their heads to meet another tall man. Olivers eyes widen and grabbed Aces head and forced him to look at his feet.  The man looked amused the the two boys.  Ace had questions, lots already.  Coming out, the Headmaster dropped a folder on the desk, his eyes were completely fixed on the man behind the boys.  The Headmaster looked Ace and smiled once more.  He slid the folder to him and said, here's your schedule. Have a nice day. a small thanks squeaked from Ace. Him and Oliver almost ran out, passing the man who looked at Ace and had a face of lust when taking that glimpse of the boy.

"That kid was pretty cute, Alex."

"You're disgusting Adrian."

"Oh come on, you're no fun."

I don't want a repeat of last year. And you know exactly what you did." Alex took a seat in the chair and put his head in his hands. The ugly flashbacks of young Colby. "Not my fault he struggled." Adrian crossed his arms. "Why are you here?" Alex asked, still having his head down.  "I came here to remind you that the game date changed to Three weeks from now.  So you better train your team more."  "That's not enough time!" "Not my problem." Adrian headed towards the door, before he opened it, Alex's voice boomed. "Touch him, ill kill you."  an evil smirk gazed on his lips.  "Oh dont worry, I won't touch him." slamming the door shut, Alex was getting a feeling, a bad feeling from his brother.

"Uhm, Oliver?" Ace asked, lightly tugging his shirt. "Yea?" Oliver looked down at the short boy. "Who was that?" Oliver froze in place. His eyes locked on Ace.  "That is the Headmaster in the Red Territory. He's an evil man, he kidnaps our students and he forces them to go to his school. And trust me, you don't want to be there, I've been there before i came here. It's not fun."  nodding understandingly, Ace flipped open his folder and checked out his classes.   Taking a peak over Ace's shoulder, Oliver looked at his classes. Gasping loudly, Ace jumped at the sudden noise.  Grabbing him by the shoulders, Oliver had a wild grin. "You have literally all the same classes as us! This is amazing!" Ace was kinda surprised by how little time he made friends here. Three in like twenty minutes.  "Thats cool, but what about my dorm?" Ace asked. "You can stay with me and Harvey, since we have an extra bed and all." Ace nodded happily. Letting go of him, Oliver and Ace had walk down to the boys Dorm.  room 129, don't forget it. going in, Harvey was bouncing a tennis ball on the wall, ignoring the two.  "Guess who's our new roommate bitch!" Oliver yelled, scaring Harvey. Putting the ball on the desk, Harvey looked at Ace, then back at the ball.  "Think fast!" chucking the ball straight at Ace, only to have Oliver catching it and shaking his head in disappointment. Ace had his arms over his head in a scared mode.  "Come on man, you cant expect him to know who's a danger yet. Besides-" Ace couldn't hear the last part due to Oliver whispering it. Harvey glanced a few time at Ace when Oliver was talking. Almost like they knew something.  Clapping his hands loudly and making Ace flinch. "The bed in the corner is yours. Bathroom is right in here, feel free to use the shower anytime. Me and Harvey have work, so ill see you later. Bye dude." before he could say anything, they left.  A sigh left Aces lips as he fell onto his bed. Sitting up, Ace pulled his suitcase on the bed, he unzipped it and the first thing he was met with a picture frame with three people.  A beautiful woman with her light brown hair in a tight bun, next to her was a man with a  blond beard and nice comb over, in the middle was a young boy, bright blue eyes and white hair. He never really noticed he was so happy in this, not until..  The accident.  He was forced to live with his Aunt until he went to college.  All hell knows hell never make it.  Ace placed the frame on the small end table next to his bed and started to unpack.
