lunchroom madness (kyle hartz)

[alyx]

Editon watched as a bunch of students walked by, they all looked at him debating and thinking if they'd ever seen him before, but the odds where highly unlikely. He sighed when they passed stepping into the lunch room. Students where in bunches the Aphrodites, Hermes, Ares, all the others including the regular students and odd couples here or there. He grinned, it was no different then any other school, yet at the same time it was. Editon made his way through the people who where standing all over the place, he got his food of salad, and a cheese sandwich and turned to find a seat.

Most of the tables where occupied by usually 2 or more students, he knew none of them, it was a real shame. He sighed walking up to the farthest table from all the other students, but there was still quite a few tables occupied. Editon took to sitting down digging into his pocket he dug out his I pod and automatically put the earphones in his ear. Editon turned it on to listen to Black Veil Bride. He looked up and scanned the faces of most of the students before beginning to eat his sandwich

Kyle had been used to not being noticed. No one paid much attention to him here unless it was to throw him in mud. It seemed so much like his old school, and this case seemed to be no different. He had decided to eat his lunch at one of the few non-populated tables when a boy(a cute boy, in Kyle's eyes) decided to join him and sat a few seats away. This gave Kyle a mix of feelings. One was fear, this was because Kyle was afraid the boy would try and hurt him. Another was hope that he may have a new friend("Or more."Kyle thought, but his hope was low.

Only silence remained. The boy had turned on his Ipod and continued to ignore him and Kyle's hope dwindled to almost nothing. The boy who had joined him obviously had no idea was there, and was likely to leave if he got one. Kyle just sat in silence, waiting for the boy to notice him and leave him back to his solitude.

[alyx]

When he'd finished he sat back in his table poking away at the salad that he would son begin to eat again. Editon looked out of the crowds of people at tables. They here obviously close to one another unlike him, he knew people but he wasn't close to any of them to call actual friends except for maybe Ivory who was a nice friendly new student like he. Editon pushed the garbage away to the other side of the small lunch table making a disgusted face.

Editon realized the presence of another student nearby, he knew the other was new for he seemed to sit alone by himself. He unplugged his ipod and put it on pause before stuffing it back into his pocket and grinning at the guy "I'm guessing your new to?" he asked "I'm Editon, but i guess you can call me plain old Edi" he wasn't a big fan of his nickname for it reminded him over stories and cartoons he'd hated while growing up.

[whatsername]

The boy had spoken to Kyle, but Kyle hadn't realized it. No student had spoken to him since he got here. The exception was the bullies who were fond of calling him names. Once Kyle had realized he was being spoken too, he almost jumped a foot back."O-Oh hello." he said with increasing timidity. What the Hades was wrong with him? " Yes, i'm new as well. My name is Kyle. It's very nice to meet you Editon." he said. His voice was very light, cautious even.

From his lack of social activity, Kyle was not sure how to continue this conversation. He was in the Art Club, yes, but there it was more like he just used their dark room. He knew hardly anyone there, but may share a few quick words will the president. His name was having trouble coming to Kyle's mind right now. "Err..." he stammered. This wasn't going well. He probably would just end up alone again.

[alyx]

Editon noticed how Kyle wasn't use to talking to people, nor was Edi, and a lot of people had already figured that out, he frowned but it turned to a grin again "It's nice to meet you to Kyle.. say your in dorm 251 to eh?" he stopped for a moment trying not to be to curious "So.. whom may I ask is your.. er.. special parent?" he raised an eyebrow as if eager to learn. But while talking he'd turned his attention to someone who was somewhat close to them. The girl didn't seem to notice the two as she went about her business listening to music and eating lunch.

He turned back at Kyle "Excuse my curiosity it's a horrible flaw" he frowned but again it was quickly washed away with the presence of a grin. "My father.. is Apollo" he spoke, he was quite fond of being one of his sons, for it seemed to fill an empty space inside him, to know he at least knew a thing or two about his father, that he hadn't known long ago.

[whatsername]

The boy who introduced himself as Editon was very nice. Perhaps all hope of a friend was not yet lost. Kyle mentally forced himself to get more into the conversation. He gave Editon the ghost of a smile. "Yes, my dorm is 251." he said, then it donned on him. "I would guess we're roommates." Kyle said that last bit in a happy tone. It was nice to room with someone that wasn't a bully. Kyle was surprised when Editon suddenly turned sullen and looked around, but when he asked in the low voice who Kyle's 'special parent' was , he understood. You had be quiet about that when the mortal students were around.

Before Kyle could say anything, Editon apologized for his curiosity. Kyle didn't hold it against him, he would be curious too. "Do not worry about it, I would be curios as well." Kyle told him. " My parent...is Hermes. But I am not a thief!" Kyle assured. " I am a mere photographer, not a thief." As if to prove a point, Kyle was messing with the necklace that held his camera on the end. Kyle caught Editon saying his parent was Apollo. "I will not assume you are a musician, stereotypes annoy me." he said and mentally slapped himself for not saying something nicer.

[alyx]

Editon grinned at Kyle, he was a pretty cool guy, and to be honest he didn't look half bad.. not at all. "Indeed, I was given my roommates names when I came here, I'm glad to have met one of them.. you seem very nice" he said honestly smiling this time for the first time that he'd come to Richmond, he sighed, he wasn't exactly good at talking, if it wasn't obvious enough.

Editon laughed when Kyle said he was no thief "You are only what you assume you are and what you believe to be Kyle, no special parent can make you a dancer, smart person, artist, singer, horse whisper or anything else, if it is what you wish it to be go for it" he said, frowning "I do sing, dance, do archery, acting, photography, play instruments.. but yet I know I am so much like a Apollo, and so much like myself.. I like to do other things like horse back riding, swimming, repair and build.. and many more, but we all have a little of most gods in us.. including the titans" Editon said sitting back he lowered his voice to a whisper when he spoke about the gods, or titans.

[whatsername]

Kyle was extremely grateful that Editon took no offense to his ending comment. He didn't want to risk not having a friend. "Thank you Editon. You are very nice too." he said. When Editon smiled at him, it looked nice. He was pretty cute... Kyle shook off these thoughts. Why would he risk it? He didn't even know if Editon liked guys! It wasn't worth it to go back to complete solitude. Maybe if Editon made a move first, but not Kyle. He didn't have enough confidence in self for that.

The feeling you get when you are smitten spread through Kyle as Editon delivered a short speech on how you 'special parent' doesn't define you. His eyes widened as Editon spoke of all the different activities he was involved in. Kyle was just a photographer! " You...do many more thing then I would have dreamed of doing." Kyle said stupidly. "I just stick my with photography..."

[alyx]

Editon grinned, it was good to be called nice, he hadn't been told that for a long time, but maybe this was because he wished not to speak with most people. "Thank you Kyle" he said smiling again, but like any his smile fadded and returned to grinning. Editon didn't smile much but when he did it wasn't for very long. Kyle was fun to talk to, easy even. "You know.. your one of the first people I've actually talked to here thus far" he wasn't looking at Kyle but it was directed to him, he'd gone off into a moment when he didn't think of anything at all.

He turned back his attention to Kyle when he spoke again, raising an eyebrow as he spoke "I do not take it that I am talented at anything.. I don't know yet what I am best at, so I try things to see.. it's hard because I really can't see myself quite stopping to do any of them and develop my skills for the future" he frowned, he wasn't partically good at anything, but he was well at them. "You have found what you love to do most, don't stop no matter what other people say, if you enjoy it, then continue.. a job should be something you enjoy more then what you are forced to do.. so if you could become a professional one day I think you would be great" he smiled at the guy.

[whatsername]

It surprised Kyle how comfortable he was with Editon. It was rare for him to find anyone he was comfortable with. Kyle would say it occurred maybe three times in his life with someone who wasn't a member of the Hartz family, and this was including Editon. He hoped the other member of their dorm proved to be the fourth. Live here may turn to something of Heaven if he proved to be a fourth. Well, that and to have be left alone by bullies.

Editon nearly matched what Kyle was going to say next word for word. He was the first person that Kyle had talked to since arriving. "I was about to say the same to you." Kyle said, he still had his wan little smile on his face. Kyle doubted if he could manage much more, he was still not used to people. The words Editon spoke next made Kyle feel a rush of affection for him, though he would be damned if he would show it. "Thank you Editon." he said timidly. Kyle could help notice how smart Editon was, this went well with his cuteness.

[alyx]

The heat had started to reach him now, he sighed lowering his head and waiting a few minutes for it to overcome him and pass on, but after a few minutes it didn't. he grabbed his water bottle and took a drink before watching as the girl who'd decided to sit nearby got up and walked off. Like obviously a lot of people she left all her garbage at the table, it was quite annoying, didn't people know how to through out something anymore? he frowned.

He turned his attention back to Kyle when he said he'd almost said something similar nodding he didn't know what quite to say about it, he smiled afterward though taking another drink of the water "Your more then welcome Kyle, I can see you've had a hard life, you don't deserve" he frowned. looking down at his phone even tough he rarely used it anymore.

[whatsername]

Kyle was becoming worried. Editon had allowed his head to hang for about five minutes, then basically chugged down the rest of his water. It may just be an Apollo thing, but Kyle was scared it was something worse. Apparently, a girl sitting nearby was bothered by this to the point of leaving, but left her trash spread out on the table. For Kyle, she fit under the classification of a pig. He made a face in her direction, but his attention quickly turned back to his seemingly ill friend.

To his complete surprise, Editon seemed better. This caused Kyle's eyes to widen a little, but he put an end to that quickly. He smiled at Kyle and took another drink of water after. Something else to surprise him was Editon intuition that he had a bad life. It sucks, but not to the point where he was depressed or something. "Thank you once again Editon....but are you okay?" Kyle asked timidly.
