Thread: The New Kid-Hareem/Moon

For most of his school life, Reno Karensis had been alone. For some reason he had just never quite been able to make any friends. He didn't know why, there wasn't anything particularly wrong with him after all. But then there wasn't anything particularly right either. He wasn't ugly, but he wasn't good looking either. He wasn't athletic, but he wasn't completely un-athletic either. He wasn't a nerd and he wasn't an idiot either. In almost every single way, he somehow managed to slip between the cracks of every single social clique that existed in the school. He didn't fit in anywhere, which left him mostly invisible. It did have its advantages....the jocks overlooked him when they were out looking for their targets after all, but then again there were also the huge disadvantages of it meaning nobody noticed him enough for him to become their friend....and it was a lonely existence, one he really longed to come to an end soon. When the day came for the new student to arrive, Reno was as aware of the various rumours flying around as anyone else. It wasn't often they got a new student after all....infact this was the first one that Reno could remember ever transferring into the school. Naturally this meant that there were rumours of every variety flying around....from the mundane to the extraordinary....Reno was sure he'd even heard someone say the new kid was some kind of crime lord who had come to take over the town....he had to admit that one had made him chuckle. Then he'd heard some weird rumours about the new kid being a vampire.....he attributed that to someone reading too much Twilight....lord how he hated those books...not to mention the films...ruining what had been a perfectly good genre... When the boy walked into class, as with everyone else Reno looked up to get a first real look....he was rather surprised at what he saw. He hadn't been expecting someone so.....good looking. Reno didn't consider himself gay necessarily....but he would certainly classify himself as bi-curious. Still....this boy was certainly making him.....more curious to say the least. Alexei Von Asimov huh.....interesting name....his family definitely comes from somewhere further than Alaska I'd bet... Reno followed Alexei as he went to take a seat just near his own, then tore himself away to look at the teacher as the lessons resumed, though it was the lessons about Alexei that were the most interesting really. Every bit of information seemed to make him more and more interesting. His reasons for being in town were interesting certainly, though somewhat more mundane than the rumours suggested...though that was exactly what was to be expected really. After all, nothing truly interesting or unusual happened in this little town. When classes were over, Reno did his best not to bother Alexei, after all the more popular kids were trying to get all his attention. But, on leaving the building Reno found himself and Alexei seemed to be taking the same route, quite possibly they lived near to one another. Reno kept to himself for a few minutes, but eventually he decided to cross the street, approaching Alexei and smiling slightly. Hello there Alexei. I'm Reno....it's nice to meet you He held his hand out to the other boy. Welcome to town. I'm sure you've already been told about how boring it is and everything... He chuckled lightly. I...it looks like we might live near one another so if there's anything I can do to help you settle into town, then please just ask ok?
