Eliot slung his bag over his shoulder as he wanders into his first lesson. Math. He groans lightly as he wanders into the classroom and sits at a desk at the back near a window so that he could gaze out whenever he felt bored. He sat, slumped in a chair and then pulls down the sleeves on his t-shirt to cover his fresh scars and cuts.

Everlise, often called Eve, walked through the halls with two of her best friends, Helayna and Mia. She waved to them and walked into her first class, math. She saw that the only seat was next to Eliot so she say there and took out her books and homework. She started sketching in a notebook.

 

[Narumi]

Eliot watches as the girl approaches the seat beside him. He doesn't say anything to her and then flicks through his math textbook, to keep him busy until the math teacher wanders inside and starts up the lesson. He closes the textbook and then took out a pencil.

Eve started taking neat notes. She loved doing well in school. She glanced over at the seemingly upset Eliot. She tossed him a note that read "Hey, are you alright? You seem sad."

Eliot turns to look at her and then back to the note. He tears off a scrap of paper from his notebook and begins to write a reply to her note: I'm fine, thanks for asking He writes and then tosses the note back.

"Are you sure?" she responded, before the teacher came over. He yelled at her and snatched the note and read it out loud. She blushed and out her face in her hands.

Eliot clears his throat in an awkward manner as the teacher read the note aloud. Throughout the lesson he got on with his work, not wanting to receive a detention, that was something to make his parents mad, especially his father. He shuddered at the thought and felt relieved as the bell rang for his next subject, he began to pack up and his math textbook fell onto the floor, he reaches to pick the book up and as he does so, his top rides a little and bruise, cut, scratch and scar marks were visible as he did so.

 

[Paint The Wind]

Eve looked over and saw the scars and gasped. "E-Eliot…what happened?" She kneeled next to him and said "Who did that to you?"

Eliot pulls his top down and scrambles to put his textbook into his bag and closes his bag. "Oh....Uh" He says as he stumbles to his feet, he didn't know how to explain this to her so he just shrugs, "I've just had a few falls is all" He says, trying to look honest.

 

[Paint The Wind]

"N-No you didn't…" she said, and the late bell sounded. She then had to rush to class.

Eliot raises an eyebrow, how would she know anyways? He hurries off to his next lesson too. He came out late, he had earned himself a detention for forgetting to bring in his Art homework. That night he wandered home, terrified.

Eve did well on her tests that day and went home happily. She lived with her older brother Michael. She shuddered, it was cold out.

Eliot flinches as his mother yells at him and his father begins his beatings, he was badly hurt and the following morning his eye had a dark circle all the way around and he was limping in pain. He shudders as he enters his Math class.

 

[Paint The Wind]

Eve was already sitting there and saw Eliot. "Oh my god, don't you dare tell me you fell. What happened?"

Eliot sat, slumped in his chair as he turns to look at her. "Nothing happened....I'm fine, honestly" He whispers.

 

[Paint The Wind]

"No you aren't fine, I can tell…" However the teacher entered and the lesson began. She was so confused. She hated algebra.

Eliot barely did any work, and got a low grade. His mind was too full of thoughts. At lunch, he sat by himself and mumbles worriedly to hinself.

 

[Paint The Wind]

Eve left her friends behind at lunch and sat beside Eliot. "Hey, how are you?"

 

[Narumi]

Eliot doesn't turn to look at the person who had just greeted him and asked him how he was, knowing that it must have been Eve, who else would bother to talk to him? Nearly everyone avoided him except her. "I'm fine thanks" He mumbles.

 

[Paint The Wind]

"Come on Eliot, I know you aren't." Helayna and Mia were waving for her to come over. She ignored them and said "You go through more then you let people know, I can tell."

Eliot eyes her and then nods, going back to eating, though only really picking at his food. He soon stood up, his plate only half finished. "I'll see you in English" he says gently, they were with each other on that subject too.

 

[Paint The Wind]

"Eliot…" she said softly. She sighed and put her face in her hands. Helayna and Mia glared at her and were suddenly angry.

Eliot wanders off. When the bell rung for their last lesson which was English he ran into a troupe of bullies who insulted him and beat him up. He sat by his locker, bleeding as they wander off and leave him.

 

[Paint The Wind]

Eve saw the bullies Leave Eliot. She jumped in front of them and said "HEY! Leave him alone!" She tried to beat them up.
