Chapter 1 - Arratay

Trees. He'd seen a LOT of them on this journey. But nevertheless he enjoyed it. Rhydian enjoyed driving. Well he liked sitting in th vehicle while somebody else drove. Him and his family went out into the countryside on many occasions just for the fun of it. Rhydian's last drive out was about a week ago...No more drives out. He forced himself to think positive. Rhydian kept reminding himself that he was going to like his new life...But he was still going to miss his old one terribly. A girl across the aisle sat next to another girl who she didn't seem to know, but was somehow having a conversation. Well people do that. Social people do that. Rhydian was a very quiet person...Well, at first. He'd be incredibly loud and social with his friends, but when he had to talk to other beings he didn't know that well...He became shy and timid and he'd find himself trying to remain as calm as possible. The girl looked at him. She obviously knew something was wrong because she took off her seatbelt and sat next to him. She put on her new seatbelt and looked at him. "What's wrong?" She asked...She was kind. Rhydian could tell. Just in the way she talked and they way she looke at him with those caring eyes. He knew she was a sweet girl from the minute he'd layed eyes on her. "Nothing" Rhydian responded, trying to cut off the conversation. He wanted to be left alone with his thoughts. "Don't give me that crap. We all had to lose something to get into Cain Academy. Some lost their bedroom's, some lost their home, some lost their families and friends like you..." He looked at her speechless...Rhydian honestly didn't know how to respond "Or you could've just said 'Hi'. It's how people tend to greet each other in this day and age" The girl laughed. Rhydian knew he was being witty. He didn't try very hard though. He got that from his dad. Being wityy. He didn't know it was that funny. Funny enough to make someone laugh? Sometimes people did laugh when Rhydian said something. "I'm Arratay Shadows. You are?" Arratay Shadows said doing her best not to laugh, and succeeding. "Rhydian Saint" He said smiling. Everytime he made a friend (Which wasn't many times) it always seemed to start off quite awkwardly. At least they could talk about it later 'Oh do you remember when we met?' and then they'd probably laugh uncontrolably. (IT'S HERE!!!!!!! FINALLY!!! Sorry there's no spaces for the paragraphs...For some reason it won't put them in. I wrote this chapter with paragraphs and spaces and stuff and when it gets published...THIS!!
