Summer break was over and life went back to how it had been with school starting again. It was rather early but Tristan made his way to school not wanting to go in with the crowd on his first day after transferring. He entered the building not knowing wich direction to head until he asked the janitor whose name was Alfi. Alfi was a man in his late 40 with already grey hair, it did look coloured though. He wore sloppy jeans and a shirt with a logo of a band Tristan never heard before, something like "The Annihialators". After having solves the issue of not knowing where his class is, Tristan headed up the fly of stairs and into the corridor, each side looking like the other. You could hold a mirror inbetween and you wouldn't be able to say what's the real half. As he approched the handlebar of the door he bumped into something. Something must have hit the ground because after the initial impact there was a sound echoing from the ground. As he looked down to see what he had hit a person with blonde shoulderlong hair was on the ground. As this person stood up and whispered an apology thry had pushed past him through the door. Tristan turned around rapidly to enter the class while saying >>You didn't have to apologize, I pushed you to the ground, and well I'm really sorry for doing so<<. But the student didn't anwser him back. Looking through the class he noticed there were 15 tables wich all had 2 chair each. He found in the front a sitting order and as he stumbles to his seat he noticed it was next to the person whom he had collided with.
Tristan collectively gazed up and down on the boy next to him. He wore a red scarf and a turtleneck poked out underneath. His turtleneck looked more like a dress because it was just so long. Two small legs covered in black were poking out from beneath the dress like top. His grey sneaker looked very old and dirty, he either used them for a long time or walked often through much dirt. As he began to look up their eyes met. His eyes had a very pure hazel colouring as if it was an ocean but brown instead of clear blue. Panicking the boy fell from his chait losing his scarf that tangled onto his head and was left where he had previously sat. Hit turtleneck wasn't up revealing many marks on his throat and neck. He was quick to pull up the turtleneck and put the scarf back on again but Tristan had still seen all. As he wanted to find his words the boy stood up and just stuttered >> y-you... you have s-seen it, right?<<
Tristan slowly nodded indicating that he knew of the marks. The eyes of Haku became looking more depressing as tears formed in their corners, as soon as he noticed he raced out the room. Tristan wanting to go after him was put to stop when three students entered the classroom. They wanted to ask him many question due to the fact that he was new. But he really had no time right now so he tried to push past them. He thought, how could they not have seen the crying boy run past them? But he could not find an anwser.
Hakus footsteps echoing through the still very empty building on the way to his hiding and crying spot, the janitors room. As he stopped to open the heavy door he slid down the door. Thinking about what had happened last holidays and why he was now forced to live somewhere new. He cought his tears with his too long sleeves wich were by now partially wet but he didn't stop using them. His weeping came to a short halt as he thought about his workplace and the enviroment there, how nice the people there had been with him. His crying came to a full stop as simeone knocked on the door and fiddeling with the handlebar. In shock Haku fell back, on his head. The door opened and in came Alfy the janitor knowing that Haku had been in here because he passed him in the halls while crying. >>What had happened?<<
>>Ah... It's nothing concerning, I just can't cope with new people... The new one's already there haha...<<
>> I know he askes me for directions, but are you alright though?<<
>>yeah yeah,... just needed a break<<
The janitor looked a bit skeptical but nodded and walked away, only stopping to show Haku that he should follow him. He brought him back to class where more people had formed around Tristan asking him all sorts of question. He still had a panicked and worried expression on his face. He was cought off guard as Haku approched him and whispered to know his name. Stuttering he brought forth his firstname as gasps filled the air. It wasn't often that Haku would speak in class, some of the students did not even know his name, neither did Tristan, so he asked Haku back to know his name. A bit red in the face Haku gave his name as a reply. He then went back to his place in class to sit back down. Putting on some music with his earphones and drawing he didn't notice Tristan looking at his work nearly the etire first lesson.
