Bury Me Alive... (Open)

[Ryan Alexander]

Ryan walked through the corridors with a piece of paper in his hand. The last few days had been mostly a blur to him, but he had a strange joy about him.
For one, he had met a new friend (Ithica) and he had finally found a place where he could belong, where he wouldn't be picked on or abused. The Academy.

"This is my chance to prove that I'm worth something....that I'm more than just someone to be abused or harmed..." he thought to himself.
He knew that he had a class or something to go to, but he simply didn't feel like sitting in a room for too long, with people he had never met before. It was part of his people phobia, he just couldn't find himself being comfortable. Still, he had to find something to occupy his time.

"I'm so bored. I wish I had something to do...someone to talk to..."

lets see I'd show her maybe that would give her a good scare oh and him...maybe him and oh hell I can't show my goddamn face with out getting a scream it's like having a fucking Halloween mask on for the rest of my life. Raven was thinking about the scars on his face he had so many that many people screamed when they saw it. He hated it made him sad But not his angel the girl that saved him from himself. He saw a boy, this one was different though he approached him with his hood up so no one could see his face he stood beside him. "New here?"
He asked.

Ryan's thoughts were interrupted by a person who seemed to appear in front of him, out of thin air. Not literally, but since he was deep in thought, it appeared that way all the same. From the voice he could tell it was a guy, but he couldn't see anything, not even a face, because a hood so conveniently covered it.

"Yeah I'm new here..." he said nervously, glancing at the man in front of him. He did not know what type of approach to take; friendly or otherwise. He had been living a very stressful life, so caution was probably his best course of action.
"Who are you?"

(Sorry for the late post, a lot of things going on lately)

[ravendarkheart]

(it's cool don't worry about it. I do hope they've been good things.)

"I see my name is Raven I should be in the university by now, but I've chosen to stay here my precognition shows me small things that will happen and it's active here a lot." Raven said not turning his head to look at the boy, The boy did not need to see the scars he might freak treat him like a monster then run, That's usually what happened to him.

He looked around many people seemed to be talking yet this one was standing alone. "Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm guessing that since you are new you are slightly afraid to talk to people unless they talk to you?" It was more a question then a statement. "Now I could be wrong and you may just be nervous I don't know I cannot read minds." Raven stopped talking for a second

"Forgive me if I am prying too much into your personal feelings or something you don't wish to talk about if you wish to be left alone I'll leave." He said Then went on as if he did not just say that last comment. "Another guess I could very well be wrong about this as well but look at them each one laughing talking about things that are...just what most would call normal but each one deep down carries something in common that they do not share with others. Fear,anger,sadness,pain. Each one of us carries this not your standing here alone are you afraid of everyone else." Raven paused for a moment "I am." He said

"Fuck off, don't talk to me, was I talking to you,who are you get out of here." Raven sighed "I get those all the time I'll never be used to it."

Ryan nodded. "Well hey there, Raven" he said with a smile. If all else failed, he was very polite. He wouldn't ever be nasty to someone, especially not someone who came up to him with seemingly good intentions; it just wasn't him. In the back of his mind he didn't know if it was safe to trust a total stranger, but his luck with them had been good so far; so what was one more?

Taking a second to process the questions coming at him, Ryan licked his lips. This was a self-conscience gesture usually done when nervous. "Well, I generally don't talk to people much, I've been hurt too much in the past...so I like to keep to myself" he said matter-of-factly, as he watched the kids talking in the hallways. Class must have just gotten out recently he thought; or they were simply skipping.

"And no you're not prying too much..." he said softly, not wanting to hurt anybody's feelings. "I actually didn't expect anyone to come up and talk to me"

[ravendarkheart]

"Why not? Your not some thug you don't look shady like your doing some kind of drug deals from what I can see you look like a nice guy." Raven said He looked at the boy if he looked closely he'd see the many scars on Raven's face. "May I ask your name?" He asked.

[Ryan Alexander]

Ryan nodded, a bit of the tension that had once inhibited him gone. "My name is Ryan. Ryan Alexander" he said with a smile. He glanced at the man further, and was shocked a bit to see scars on the guy's face, though he didn't let his face betray what he was thinking.
"I wonder what happened to him...how he got all those scars..." he thought to himself. Even with him thinking about it, he avoided starting directly at them, in fear of offending someone.

[ravendarkheart]

"Good to meet you Ryan." He said as he stood by the boy "I'm just wondering would you like me to show you around here it's a big place..well kinda If you need me to I'll gladly do it but if not then hey it's cool." Raven shrugged for the first time in a long time he smiled Maybe not everyone is bad. He thought, he wanted to help Ryan out in anyway possible anything would do. "If anything ever bothers you you can tell me I'll listen." He said kindly.

[Ryan Alexander]

"It's nice to meet you too" Ryan said with a smile.
"This place is so nice..." he thought to himself. "So many friendly people, I'm not used to that.."

He shrugged at the guy's offer. Did Ryan need help looking around? Truthfully no. He only had two classes, and they were easy to find. His dorm room wasn't too far, he knew where that was. He didn't want to offend the person he was talking to, but he didn't want to have to make up some explanation either.
"Wait, you didn't give me your name..."

[ravendarkheart]

"I didn't? could have sworn I did, Oh well I'm Raven Darkheart don't let the last name fool you."
He said he guessed Ryan didn't need help otherwise he would have asked for it. So Raven didn't ask again. Ryan must have been deep in thought or maybe not who knew, other then Ryan himself. Raven stood next to Ryan in silence He heard a snicker nearby as someone pointed at him. He shrugged to show he did not care but it was only show he was hurt inside. "Gotta shake things off sometimes eh?" Raven said trying to hide the pain.
