Light steps, whispered words

[Aurora]

One stoft step, followed by another. The pale girl walked in the nearly empty room, wondering if she was making too much noise. Sometimes, she worried about that when the library was empty and every sound seemed louder.

Her hazel eyes scanned the rows of books, searching for her favorite authors. Or maybe something new and interesting. The Black Company series had been interesting. Many curse words... lots of violence, but so many plot twist and turns...that was what Aurora really liked. A suprise twist hidden in the pages.

Her pale blue skirt swished around her knees as she walked, a nice button up shirt covering her torso. White mary janes were on her feet.

Still...though she kept looking...Aurora couldn't find any book that caught her eye. That made the girl slightly upset, being shown in a pout and slight stamp of her foot. Where were the good books?

[Aureus]

The library, a refuge for those who wanted to learn things not taught in the school's classroom. A refuge for those who wanted to avoid the nosey, annoying, smelly, selfish, and stupid people of the school. One of those people was Aureus Hayes. The Freshmen, Pillar to be who just wanted to be left alone. As was typical of the student, his face was hidden behind a book as he paced the isles of reading material. The book in his hands was one filled with amature poetry. There was something soo...real about the particular piece he was reading at the time. It was called the Author, and appealed to him because of it's clearly Atheist theme. "The search has begun, this is page one
Men meet your maker, I give you The Author.
He may seem familiar because he looks like your mirror."

Pacing, however, may not have been such a good idea. Why? Well because it made you run into things, and people. This time it happened to be a redheaded girl the schizo was familiar with. Her name was Aurora, and Aureus had met her his first day of school. Though to be specific it was Levi she had talked with, and had been hit on by. She really was beautiful, but that wasn't really something that caught the dark haired boy's attention. Pretty faces were misleading. Regardless, once he realized he had knocked her down, he lowered his book hand and offered his free one to help her up. From the small conversation she had had with Levi, he was able to discern that she wasn't like the typical idiots of the school. She was modest and seemed to keep to herself. Someone worthy of his aid.

[Aurora]

"Oh!"

So Aurora hadn't been exactly paying attention either. The hazel eyes had been locked on the books, searching the titles. And there had been something interesting.... when she had been knocked down.

And there he was...what was his name...Levi right? A shy smile, and Aurora grabbed his hand to be helped up. He had seemed a bit weird, but...rather nice.

"Hi again." Aurora's ever soft voice, perfect for the library. She straightened out her skirt, dusting off her clothing. A slight blush played on her pale face, getting knocked over in the middle of the library. Yay. Slightly embarassing.

"Mr.Levi right?"

[Aureus]

How does everyone keep doing that!? The dark haired boy shouted in his head. Despite the fact that he and Levi looked and sounded completely different, two people seemed to know they were the same person. But how!? It just didn't make sense to him. Were this people really observant or something? Did the administration go around telling everyone!? So many possibilities, yet no answers. "Uhh...no. Name's Aureus. And I don't think we've met before." The freshmen said in an awkward tone. He didn't much feel like socializing, but what the hell. Aurora was interesting enough. Levi thought so anyway.

[Aurora]

"Uhh...no. Name's Aureus. And I don't think we've met before."

Aurora was confused. Very, very confused. When it came down to it... she had met Levi in the middle of the hallway. He had kissed her hand, and she had shown him the office. Except... his voice had changed...and his appearance... into the boy in front of her now.

Both of her eyebrows were raised, hazel eyes not really looking at Aureus...trying to figure everything out as her mind went over the details. Things just didn't make sense....

"Well, I'm very sorry then. I thought you were some one else. Please forgive me Mr. Aureus..." Now she was even more embarassed. Calling a complete stranger by a different name. Her pale cheeks were a dark red now, she rubbed on one of them with the back of a hand. Oh this was fun.

[Aureus]

"It's fine. Though you don't have to call me sir." The schizo replied with a slight smile. It was evident the girl was pretty embarrassed, though he felt she didn't have to be. It's not like he was scary or something, right? Though he wouldn't mind to seem that way to most people. That way they'd leave him alone. It was a win - win situation. He could always differentiate the intelligent from the average so he was able to pick and choose who he socialized with. Would he help others? Sure, if they needed it.

"Looking for anything particular today?" He asked in a carefree tone. Because it seemed like he would be staying there for a bit, the Freshmen tucked his finger between the pages of his book to keep his place and leaned against the bookshelf to make himself comfortable.

[Aurora]

Aurora just nodded for a moment. No calling him sir then. She tucked a few of her red locks behind an ear when the subject changed to books. This was a subject she could get into.

"Actualy, something along the Black Company Series... I really like the character Croaker and how he tells the story."

She smiled slightly, rocking on her heels for a moment. She still felt slightly akward about it all. It wasn't who she thought it was, and that still made her blush slightly. Aurora was just very...worried about everything.

"At least, some new author or book series I would like..." Her voice trailed off, she was a bit nervous.

[Aureus]

"Never heard of it. What's it about?" The Freshmen asked curiously. Studying Aurora, he noticed she was still a bit uneasy. Though he supposed that's just the way she was. Not everyone was social. It was funny, because usually Aureus was the non sociable one. Though he felt like talking, just because she had made a good impression on him when she met Levi. Not to mention he still felt kinda bad for leaving her that first day.

[Aurora]

"It's a mercanery group, who are hired out to the highest bidder! Well, most of the time they manage to twist it so they get something out of it, and in one book they just do the work to save this girl... but the characters are always changing. The enemies are always the same... all in all, it's a great book. I recomend it.... if I can find it..."

Her bottom lip stuck out slightly, almost a pout. Aurora didn't like it when she couldn't find what she was looking for. A small sigh escaped her pale lips. But she stopped herself, and smiled up at the other.

"What are you looking for...Aureus?" She still was trying not to place a 'mr.' before his name. It was a bit hard.
