His name is Kieran Pirsch. He does mostly regular things, draws this and that, daydreams and regularly gets annoyed by the more brutish of his class men. Lacking in the more physical attributes he makes up for in smarts and finesse but keep the thoughts to himself since all it would do is make matters worse.

CHAPTER ONE : Days of Human Bliss

He got up as he usually does every morning, staring into his own face while brushing his teeth. looking into his own amber eyes and wondering if anything will be different today, maybe a new student or teacher but he knows that today is the same day it has always been. The same day every day.

He sighs and adjusts his blondish hair to a curve behind his ear while also thinking who will say " Hey, Kieran why do you have girly hair" when it is not even shoulder length yet. He quickly changes to his school attire which consist's of: a purple tie with black stripes, a sweater with the school logo, flat ironed trousers and black polished shoes. A quick glance shows how a person can change from lazy morning look to upper class men in a few minutes, He thinks " Might as well look decent for the school's sake, can not have all these idiots making it look bad" He grabs his bag and walks out the door with a chime when it closes.

Walking the same route as always: down his street path, then left into the forest path which takes him to the more populated part of town where the school is. He arrives 20 minutes early. The school has seen better years, it use to be a private school strictly for Catholics so it looks pretty regal; giant fencing and a Gothic style to it. Part of the school use to be a on site church then later connected to the main school building, It still has the big oak doors too which is now the social area. Kieran walked in through the schools main doors looking around reception to find most of the students have yet to arrive, He sits down and pulls out his art booklet.

Left drawing for at least long enough to sketch out a illustration, He is then patted extremely strongly on the back almost making him have a visit with the desk. Garret Verloren, Kierans close friend since hell knows how long, standing beside him with a fairly pleased smile, which is rare since he needs to act the part for being a school prefect. He said " Being early is a good sign, means your bothered to do something" followed by a wide grin and laugh from both sides. 

" Like anything could make me feel like getting up in the morning" said Keiran.  Garret puts on the same egotistical frown he puts on when Keiran is acting more lazy then he actually is. "Try doing some extra work around  school like the library they need help don't they?" Kieran knows how big they schools library is, like a vault fulled with old tomes and written lectures reaching down into the abyss with only a old clerk and a fellow student keeping dust off them.

" Sounds like a idea, if I want a full time job" Kieran says bluntly, deriving a even more wolfish grin from Garret " Well you will be glad to know I signed you up". Those words echoed across the hall especially "signed you up". Kieran looked at Garret with disbelief, the angle in which Kieran saw Garrets face made it look like he was staring at him with murderous intent which was actually Garret enjoying Kierans torture a bit more than he should be. "Well I guess It happens" says Kieran  In a attempt to make Garrets grin turn upside down, It works more effectively than anticipated causing Garret to shake his head in a way resembling a furry dog shaking off rain. Messing up Garrets hair completely and covering his rich violet eyes. Garret in a need to get some form of amusment from Kieran leans down right next to Kierans face, with his hair resembling the style used for girls in horror movies. "You better enjoy every last minute of you being in that library Kieran because I know I will" while grinding his teeth. This scares the Jesus out of Kieran to the point of white hair, making him run away with his stuff in hand to the first class of the day shouting " whatever you say Garret, whatever you say!". Garret tidies his long black hair to the his usual fashion and re-firms his tie to his collar before setting off to do prefect like things while silently giggling to himself.

The rest of the day went by quickly, same old stuff as usual but instead of going home at the regular time he had to work at the library. Kieran thought this is the worst joke Garret has ever played one me ever, bet he is laughing his ass off on the way home. He is at the office section before it cuts of into row upon rows of books. Kieran decides to ring the almost antique bell, it has a familiar chime to it he thinks. He gets no reply so Kieran looks at the also aged green reading lamp with curious need to see if it even works, halfway between pulling the little chain to turn the light on he is interrupted by "Hello, there" from a old lady; older then the head master to be sure. Still rather startled by the quiet arrival of the librarian on the other side of the desk already seated.

"I'm here to help with the library, I was told I'm expected" the old lady looks down at the ledger with signed names then raises the gargantuan book to a vertical position. " Is this your signature?" she points with a ballpoint pen at the recent entry.  Kieran looked. When did Garret get my signature so perfect? He must have really wanted to make me a indentured servant to the school badly to do it so neatly. "yeah that's mine alright" says Kieran regretting the confirmation he just splurged out.

Kieran spent the rest of the day organizing books into there categories, who know who goes around messing them into the wrong sections thinks Kieran on his way through the forest. no matter, least he doesn't need to do it till tomorrow... He looks up to the sky, it is teal blue.
