“Attention class, please pay attention!” Miss Creamflower shouted over the chattering students. She wore her white wizards robe with her hood up. She wore red lipstick and eye shadow that made her look more beautiful. “Please settle down, and I have an announcement to make.” The female class of white mages settled down and listened to their teacher. “Some of you might have heard of a black mage being taught here. This is true.” Almost all the girls were shocked by this. There aren’t many Black mages due to the tales about what they become over the years. “Since he is the only one in his class, he will be getting his photo with us today” One of the girls raised her hand. “You have a question Victoria?”
“Why can’t he get it with the red mages?”
“Their class is full and had no room. We were the only ones with some room for the photo.”
“When will he get here?” another asked
Just then the double doors to the auditorium opened and a cold gust of wind whipped though the Bleachers where the white mages stood. A figure dressed in black robes walked though the open doors. His black leather boots thundered with every step they took. His robe seemed to stay in place which gave him a ghostly look. His black glove hands were clenched into a fist that were lose at his sides. No none knew who he was because his face was masked with a black bandana and goggles. His hair was in a way that made him look like a mad scientist. On his back he had a katana in a black sheath. Everyone in the room sensed something about this black mage, something odd. The figure walked until he was beside Miss Creamflower and stopped. There was a moment of awkward silence in the room. Miss Creamflower was the first to recover from the shock. “Class met the Black mage, and Black mage meet my class.” The young man in the robes nodded his head at the girls. Many of them just stared right at him trying to figure out who he was. “Please sit beside Esther in the front row Black mage.” The Black mage obeyed and sat down beside Esther on the bleachers. “How it’s going?” Esther asked politely
“Not bad.” He replied with no emotion.
“So . . . did you enjoy your time here?”
“Yes.”
“Not much of a talker?”
“I have my moments.”
“You’re a regular comedian.”
“I try the best I can.”
“Say cheese” the camera man said.
“What is your name anyway?” she asked after the photo was taken.
“Brett.” The mage said as they walked across the auditorium floor to the doors. “That’s it, just Brett? No last name?”
“I never new my parents.” Brett said flatly.
“Oh, I didn’t know. Who raised you then?”
Brett stopped and turn to look at her. No one had ever been interested in his past let alone him. He wasn’t sure if he should tell her the truth that he was raised by thieves that found him floating down the river in a basket. That they raised him and cared for him like a real family. That he was a criminal himself. His brain didn’t know what to do but his instinct did. “Some people found me floating down a river and took me in and raised me.” It was the truth, but not all of it. “It’s good to know that there is still some good in this world.” She replied as she began to walk down the hall again. “So are you going to that party tonight at the Caldron?”
“I might be, why?” Brett replied
“Just curious, maybe we could meet up their?”
“Sure, that would cool.”
“Great see ya then, oh and here my cell phone number if you can’t find me. Bye!”
Brett waved as she walked across the court yard. It was then his senses return to him and his brain started to work. Brett looked around the court yard and realized he had walked without knowing where he was going. He also didn’t realize that his friends were following him the whole time. “So how did it go lover boy?” Gary asked as the rest of the guys caught up. “Hey ya got her number man, that’s awesome!”
“Hey Brett is getting lucky tonight!” Tucker joined the conversation.
“Maybe he can give us some tips on girls” John added in. Brett shook his head and head toward the boy’s dorm. He needed to get ready for the graduation ceremony.
