a red heart

chapter one: fairly normal

My name is Velsen vonquer, everyone calls me Vel; I am 15; I dyed my longish hair turquoise, the whole school loves it! My eyes are lime, and I own an emerald necklace to bring them out more! The school outfit is a simple white shirt with whatever colour collar and plaid pants we choose! I chose dark green; my regular outfit is a dark green shirt with light turquoise buttons and light turquoise pants; perfect boy, perfect life~.

School day, it goes as normal, nothing to say about it, at lunch I tend to change who I sit next too, today I sat with a small group of people, three siblings; a blond, long haired girl, with pitch black eyes named Sapphire golden; a deep red, less long haired girl, with the same pitch black eyes, Ruby golden; and a blond, short haired boy, with the same black eyes, Onyx golden, their parents must like gems, there was also two other boys, one had black hair and forest green eyes, named Ben drew, and the other boy was the mysterious silent kid, he usually would be with his other group of silent kids, no-one knew if they where his siblings or friends; but today he sat with us; he had long pitch black hair that covers his freckles and deep sapphire eyes, they seemed too hold the secrets of the universe, neither of the silent kids ever gave their names, so we made up our own names, he was named void, for his long dark hair that covered his face, I call him that for how deep his eyes where, they could catch your eye and never let go, every time I saw those eyes I felt a sort of warmth, like keeping eye contact would let me take that pure knowledge that they seem too hold, they were so deep and beau-
it was at this moment that I realized I was staring at him, so I just pretended that moment never happened and joined in on their conversation, it was the usual conversation, the usual "how was class?", "do you think this school is actually an experiment?", and "who's the cutest at this school?" when someone brings that up I always say the girl everyone else says is cute, Hailey, with her bleach blond hair and neon pink highlights, and those shallow almost white blue eyes, I've never really liked her, her eyes tell me nothing, there is nothing too look at in there, nothing to lock onto, I only say I like her because everyone else dose, I've never found a girl I find cute, if I did I'd tell someone, but I don't, so the conversation goes on until we get into a small game: kiss, marry, kill; I always would join in on this game knowing that it's always going to be the same, everyone would be SO dramatic if you chose a certain person for a certain action, sometimes calling it a betrayal, sometimes calling it cute, it's stupid, at some point in the game it was voids turn, and another of the silent kids was watching him, she was the tallest of them, the most threatening, she's called butch, like the rest of them, she has long black hair, but some of it is in a pony tail, she also has bright white eyes for some reason, we were all too scared to point out the odd colour, and those blindingly bright eyes where focused directly at void, and Ruby said who he'd be choosing from "so, Saphie, Ben, or Vel"
I felt cold all of a sudden, I didn't know why, I looked over too butch and realized she was examining the three of us, that must be the reason I feel cold, there was a long pause until void spoke, his voice surprisingly deep "S, marry"
sapphire was exited, almost relieved, void continues "B... kiss"
Ben didn't seem too care, but I cared, because that meant I'm- "V.... kill."
I knew it, but it didn't make it hurt any less, I don't know why I suddenly care about this stupid game, maybe it's the fact butch is watching us, or how harshly he said it, it must be that, but there was a sense of jealousy, jealousy of... I shove back that feeling of jealousy; I don't need to deal with that shit, I need to play this stupid game, but after a minute void leaves the table, it looks like butch called him over, and he went back to his group; it's just some stupid game, just a stupid game, we don't need him to play, but I don't really feel like playing anymore, so we change back to talking about different people at the school, some of it is gossip, some of it is just complaining about the people who work here and joking about this being a test of some sorts, but there's still a feeling of fear, and hurt.
