"Scream Academy?" The boy had repeated.
"Scream Academy," his mother had smiled and kissed his head. "It's the school I went to when I was about your age. I've just enrolled you and your sister, so in a few months you'll be off there. Don't worry, it's not too far, you'll see us plenty of times . . ."
The conversation played back in the teenager's head as he sat in the café, drinking- well, he wasn't quite sure what it was, but it was his mother's favourite colour. It was cold, if that was any help. But then again, most things were cold around here. It was so different to Spain, also something connected to his mother.
Indeed, Alexander Shadows was a 'mama's boy'.
Not that he didn't love his father too. He envied the man's perfect white hair and green eyes, and wished that he at least looked normal. His colours were somewhat unusual, to say the least. His hair was bright red, almost the colour of blood, and his one eye was blue whereas his other eye was green. The boy was a walking rainbow when he wore anything that wasn't one of those colours, so he stuck to black and white mostly.
Except now. Dieter was his dorm, so he was wearing red. But, as little as possible. No vest, no jacket, just a slightly wrinkled white shirt. Of course, he had the red trousers, but they weren't negotiable. But hey, better than yellow for Tien, right?
It was getting dark. The sun was slipping down the sky into the back of the forest, tinting the sky with little streaks of pink. The forest seemed to be alive with green and white, leaves and snow. It was quite beautiful, he had to admit.
The white haired boy wanted to draw it. His father had taught him how to make things real when he drew them, and, like his father, Alec was a natural. Although he was far better at magic spells, he was gifted with this art.
He finished the drink quickly, aiming to get to his dorm. His first night away from home, and he wasn't going to spend it getting lost!
