Black's POV
What a peaceful day. I woke up really early, and since I didn't have anything to do at home, I decided to just go to school. When I got here, it felt so empty. There were really few students and they're all just doing their own thing. Everything's so quiet and calm. It's not too hot nor too cold, so basking in the sun from the classroom's window felt amazing. The only thing that could ruin this perfect day is a sudden loud noise. "Black!" I could hear someone call my name as the doors to the classroom slammed open. The peace is ruined now. I turned around and saw Scarlet, tears forming in her eyes as she stood by the doors. "Hey, what happened??" I asked as I stood up and approached her. "Are you hurt anywhere?"She shook her head and wiped her tears. "Crimson asked me out again."For a moment, my mind went blank as I processed what she just said. "He askedBlack's POV"I'll ask you again." Crimson said as he pinned the light-colored boy on the wall. "What the hell are you doing here?"The boy glared at Crimson, then pushed him back and threw a punch. "I wouldn't have gone to this dump if you didn't run away!"Crimson immediately retaliated with a punch of his own. "I never asked you to find me!"And the fight just went on. I wanted to try and stop it, but there was no way I could do it on my own. If I let myself get caught in that crossfire, I can guarantee that I'll just end up being beaten up. I could probably do something else that doesn't involve me getting their way, but what?I took a deep breath and accepted that there was no peaceful way to stop this, so I braced myself and stepped in the middle. "Stop it!" I exclaimed as I shielded Crimson from a punch."Y-You idiot!" Crimson shouted as he checked on me. "Are you okay?? Does it hurt?"
Crimson's POVI've always been told I have a scary face. It's not that I want to look like this, but with the way I've been raised, I found it hard to smile normally. I'm not a social person either, so even if I knew how to act normal, I don't know how to be friendly.My parents were very strict on me growing up. My old man's the owner of his own business, and my mom supports him all the way. They raised me to be their perfect little son so I'd do whatever they wanted, but I got sick of it. Because of that, I started the opposite of whatever they told me.I got into a lot of fights, I did things I wasn't supposed to do, I flunked my classes, but no matter what I did, I still felt trapped in the cage that my parents confined me in. It was hard to escape, but that was until I found something I actually wanted to do.I told my old man that I'd stop causing trouble for them if they let me live on my own, and because I
Black's POVWhen I reached 8 years old, I realized that I wasn't normal. Everything around me turned grey. The sky, the trees, the people, everything lost its color, and with it, I lost my emotions.I used to stay inside my room for days, refusing to go out, refusing to see what the world looked like. I didn't want to look at everything I lost, but even when I wanted to feel sad, I felt nothing. I felt numb.My parents took me to countless doctors, but none of them knew what was wrong with me. It was like I developed a whole new illness unknown to man. I thought there was no more hope for me. I thought there was nothing I could do anymore, but when I reached the 7th grade, it felt like everything started to change again.After what felt like an eternity in my colorless world, I could somehow see colors again because of the people I met. I had a group of friends that I spent almost everyday with. I was finally happy. I f
Black's POVI could hear a knock on my door as I just finished fixing my bed. "Black, breakfast is ready downstairs." My aunt said. "I'll be back tonight.""Take care, Aunt Autumn." I replied.Autumn Vera, or Aunt Autumn as I call her, is my aunt that took me in after both my mom and dad passed away. She's a very kind person that agreed to take care of me despite not even talking properly with her before.Right now, our relationship isn't so bad. We've been becoming closer, but it's still a bit hard for me to fully open up to her. Don't get me wrong. I'm very grateful to her, but after years of closing myself off from everyone, it's not easy to open up again.I finished getting ready for school, so I went down to have breakfast. As usual, Aunt Autumn made one of her odd flavoured pancakes. It was purple this time, which was a lot better than the green pancakes she made last time. It tasted like ube, w
Black's POV"I'm White Reinheit." The boy introduced himself as he put his hand out for a handshake. "What about you?"This is the third time this has happened. This guy is the third person I've seen today that just suddenly gained colors. It doesn't make sense at all."Um, hello?" The boy started waving his hand in front of my face.Unconsciously, I slapped his hand away. He looked at me with a surprised expression on his face, then looked down."Sorry." He apologized, looking like the world is about to end. "I just thought you might've wanted to have friends since you just transferred here.""M-My bad. I don't really like when people invade my personal space." I looked away. "I appreciate the thought, but I'd rather be left alone. Sorry.""Ah, but your name? It's hard to work like this when I don't know what to call you.""...Black. Black Vera."We did t
Black's POVJust as Crimson said, it looked like people were talking about us as we walked to the cafeteria. It's like they're not even trying to be discreet about it. I don't know anything about Crimson, but his reputation probably isn't anything good if people are talking about me like this as soon as I'm seen with him. I really have to thank him later.After we finished buying food, we didn't stay in the cafeteria. Instead, he led me towards the top floor. The door to the rooftop was locked, so we just sat down in front of it."You sure you're good with just bread?" Crimson asked as he started eating."I'm fine with this." I replied. "Instead-" I trailed off as I stared at the large amount of food he bought. "-nevermind.""What department are you in? I forgot to ask earlier.""Ah, I'm from the arts department.""Is that why you were drawing earlier? Did you already have to pass
Black's POVCurrently, I'm facing a major problem.On my way to school, I spotted somebody with colors, crouching on all fours as he looked like he was looking for something. Unfortunately, it was that guy from my class, White Reinheit.I have to pass through, but he'll definitely see me. I don't know any other routes to school, and it was bad enough that I cut classes once. I can't skip again.I begrudgingly approached him. "What're you looking for?" I asked.He looked up at me with tears in his eyes. "I lost my necklace." He replied as he wiped his tears and sniffled."Your necklace? What does it look like?""It has a silver chain and a cross.""And you lost it around here?"He nodded his head as he continued looking.I sighed loudly as I crouched down and started to search for it too. "It'll be easier if we look for it tog
Black's POVToday is club recruitment day. It's a day designated for the freshmen and transfer students to check out the clubs and join one that interests them. There aren't any classes today, so the whole day is used for clubs to recruit members. Luckily, I already have a club, so I don't have to go through the trouble of trying to find one.I entered our club room, and surprisngly, Crimson wasn't there. While waiting for him, I decided to work on some schoolwork.I'm currently part of the light music club. This place is honestly just a club in name only. We don't do any club activities. Instead, we just hang out here. Crimson and I are the only members, and I don't think Crimson intends to recruit any more. It's surprising that the school allows this, but I'm not really complaining.The clubroom's doors were suddenly swung open, making a large banging noise. I flinched and turned around, seeing Crimson all tatte
