Cain Maddox walked nervously around to his new school hallway . Once he moved his things to Mr. Sarkan's house ,he got arranged to attend to one of the best schools of the country where he didn't had to pay for this since he passed by the total grade. It had been five days since he got the license of leaving the asylum and he wished he wasn't sad because of Isa .but he missed her so much as days passed ,her absence hurt him even more and since he hadn't got time to create any friendships, this past few days, to him things were going harder than it should . thankfully the school principal arranged a boy for his future class to show him and befriend him till he felt safe in the new section.
The boy who would guide him today wasn't late actually ,it was Cain who was early. Mr. Sarkans had tried very hard to cheer up the unhappy Cain Maddox, but his mission just failed reverently .the boy was separated from the girl he loved and now is dealing with it a little harshly. To Cain' bad luck , Isa wasn't the only person he missed but Mrs. Sybil as well and all the other children .Except from George who wanted to smell his feet every time he saw him.
All of this felt too much for Cain ,especially when his new school students looked at him as if a kind of prey.
they are gonna eat me alive here, he thought to himself as he sat to a chair near the janitors room . His doctor had brought him here with happiness for his emotional progress after all this years. The poor boy wasn't a bad person ,just a victim of everything .
Finally after a few moments a boy walked at him anxiously with his one hand on the pocked of his jeans while the other hold plenty of books which probably were for Cain. The boy ,Nestor named , was a tall skinny guy with pale skin , curly dark brown hair and behind the wayfarer glasses, beautiful grey eyes. he could be considered a nerd or a hotie nerd like a girl called him while he walked towards Cain.
When he finally saw the new guy of his school .he smiled , a kind of smile which brought chill to Cains stomach but he rather not show it ,refusing to be rude .He fixed his glasses and greeted the new student with joy.
"Welcome" Nestor said "Cain, I am Nestor Cullen. I am going to show you around for the first days here"
The tone of his voice was rather stiff than welcoming. Hurried even with a mixture of devastating glance the moment he was closer to Cain. Did the boy or even the teachers knew, were Cain came from a few weeks ago?.
He took another breathe, trying to calm himself. Cain was being paranoid again and he hoped he hadn't. Everything is fine, Nestor is fine.
All this time in the asylum made him a little coo-coo.He forced a smile at Nestor and walked with him around the school. School was supposed to be some kind of prison for many student, little did they know how people like Cain longed for knowledge and being free. Many don't appreciate what they have.
As they walked at the school cafeteria. Cain took a minute to appreciate the happy faces around him and enjoy the sun with a grin on his lips. Not a sadistic or devious grin, a happy one. But Nestor admired the silhouette of the boy next to him.
Cain was taller and a little too thinny for his age. They didn't resemble at all in the body characteristics.
Nestor didn't mind being shorter than him. He hoped for a friend.The sat on a table with food on theirs plates. Sandwiches with juices to me exact. Cain loved cheese, especially on sandwiches. Nestor didn't see to be thrilled about it thought
He leaned near Cain and whispered to his ear."I wouldn't eat that if I was you" His voice mysterious and seducing in a way "the could probably put something in it"
The new student panicked and pushed the food away from him. Nestor bursted out laughing. He patted Cain on his shoulder. "dude I was joking, relax"
Cain looked at him doubtfully. "I am almost died choking smart-ass.Dont don't do that on me"
Nestor looked a him with a grin on his face. Then Cain made the same expression. It's been a long time he talked to somebody like this. While Nestor had grown bored of his
awkwardness.
Both laughing, they ate their sandwiches unbothered of any kind of poison that whoever had placed.Minutes passed, both of them without noticing. They talked, mostly about books. Their love for Sherlock Holmes. And generally mysteries.
Then Nestor destryed the mood. "did you know that a girl dissappeared a few weeks ago?"
"no" he took a bite from the delight with cheese "tell me. About her"
Nestor's body directed to Cain's. His eyes glittering from fascination but pain as well. He couldn't understand what was his emotions about it.
"she was my classmate and friend since lats year. Although we hadn't been talking much lately" he looked down at his hands removing his glasses. "she was pretty, I mean really pretty and talented -"
"get to the point Nestor" Cain frowned.Nestor stared at him for a while thoughfully but mostly annoyed. "right, it was a party that her brother had arranged. Someone saw her leaving with a black car and none saw her ever again ever since".
"what's her name? " Cain asked curiosity taking over him.
"Camilla" Cain tensed to the name for a reason "Camilla maddox." and with the last name. Cain maddox turned pale.
"are, are you sure?" he couldn't breathe, couldn't speak. His vision blurred as he looked around with a helpless expression.
"yes" Nestor said looking at him worried "Did you know her?"
Cain let a sob which made some to turn around, stare at him. "I am very familiar with her, from my old life"
Nestor shook his head ,trying to hide his surprise "no, this can't be happening" but Cain nodded.
"yes" Cain nodded again, tears leaving his for his green eyes "Camilla Maddox , I knew her"
