Extra 3

"He is a creep. He doesn't even talk and it is too cold when I go near him" A little boy said to a group of children with a disgusted face.

"No one will want to be his friend anyway"

"Yeah"

"Why does he even come to school?"

The small, extremely pale and fragile looking boy heard their conversation. He silently left the place.

Isaac wanted to play and have fun like his classmates too. He really wanted to build sand castle together with someone.

The envious little boy could only play alone with small ice spheres which he morphed.

Isaac always sat at the corner of the last row and his classmates  were never willing to sit next to him, much less, go near him.

It is a long chair with few students in each row arrangement but Isaac had always only sat alone.

Secretly hoping that he would get a partner to sit with.

Isaac lethargically looked through the window. A small boy was making a fuss while hugging a women's leg.

He cried and the snot from his nose stuck to the women's skirt which made the women to knock on the boy's head lightly with a helpless sigh.

A slow smile worked it's way across Isaac's face and into his eyes.

The small boy lifted his head and saw a gorgeous boy looking at him.

Time seemed to stand still for them both.

Isaac saw a beautiful pair of eyes and was drawn into them. An overwhelming sense of relaxation eased his lonely heart.

'I hope I can talk to him' Both Isaac and Isaiah thought at the same time.

Isaiah stopped struggling and let his mom drag him.

Moments later a middle aged man brought a pink eyed kid  inside the classroom. His eyes seemed red after crying a lot.

"We have a new friend joining us today" the teacher said looking at the seated kids who had an eager look on their face.

"I am Isaiah. I love to play so, I hope that we can play together" The little boy said with a big smile.

The students in the class all looked in approval because the boy seemed very friendly but that wasn't the case for Isaac.

He turned away because the boy was too blinding. Too bright. Too happy. Too carefree.

A complete opposite of him.

Isaac laid his head on the table and closed his eyes.

The small boy took slow steps towards were the silver haired boy was.

Noticing his intentions, a girl stood in front of Isaiah blocking his way and said,"Dont sit with him. It's too cold"

"Why?" Isaiah tilted his head.

"It's because he is an ability user" The girl told.

"We are in the neutral land so, I thought that I would never find another ability user! Isn't he awesome?" The boy's twinkling eyes made the girl feel a pang of guilt. She returned to her seat.

Isaac heard the boy but he didn't raise his head up.

Isaiah sat next to Isaac. Feeling that someone was near him, Isaac opened his eyes and happened to lock gaze with the boy.

"Can I sit with you?" Isaiah asked even when he already sat next to him.

"Don't. You will feel cold"

"I'm a fire ability user so I can warm myself. I am not very good at it but I'll definitely try my best"

"So, is it okay to sit with you? I want to be your friend.."

It was the first time that anyone wanted to be close to him or try to take an initiative to do so.

Even his parents neglected him but this boy..

Isaac pretended as if he didn't hear the boy.

"Then.. I'll take that as a yes"

Isaac stuck his face on the table. Unintentionally raised his lips as droplets of tears hanged on his eyelashes.

Isaac patted the boy's hair who was sleeping in his arms.

'You will never know how much your words as a thoughtless child still means to me'
