A Cool Breeze, Good Time to Spread My Wings

October, a lowly wingman's favorite time of the year. The wondrous season of autumn is among the populated academy. This normally meant a few things, the obvious change in weather, and classes starting up again, that was if you were student or teacher here. In general knowledge, autumn was a season of change. The trees and leaves had now taken on hues of red, orange, and even yellow. Temperatures were now gradually declining. But none of this seemed to matter to a certain individual. He had drastically long, light brown hair in a pony tail, shining hazel eyes, and wore a simple white long sleeved shirt and black jeans. He had a chain with crossbones strapped onto the belt loops of the jeans. With that, Cade was often comfortable.

He wandered about endlessly through the halls, through the streets, and through the halls again, isolating himself from any crowds. He preferred it that way, since every encounter he would have with any person would result in some kind of predicament most of the time. That truly annoyed Cade, but it wasn't like there was anything he could do about it anyway, though he is highly capable of defending himself. At any rate, his endeavors had soon led him back to the rooftop. He had a few good memories up here. He often came here to work on his flying skills, which he now has highly improved upon. For that, he was happy for a change. He opted to take a breather up there and there he stood, alone as usual, gazing into the horizon.

"Hmm...I wonder...is anyone else up here...?"

Cade's ears pricked upon the voice of not one, but two feminine voices nearby. So he wasn't the only one here. Just great, yet another inevitable predicament that he would put himself into without even knowing it. But hey, maybe this wouldn't be a bad thing for him. Upon hearing the first voice, he turned his head into that direction to see a girl. She had a book with her, and Cade hasn't recalled her from some point in the past, so in his eyes she was a new face. Oh well. "So, I'm not the only one...oh well." With that, he took a seat on the edge on the roof. If he were to fall, he could easily spread his wings. Practice seemed to make perfect after all.

Upon hearing the second voice, a loud one at that, Cade turned his head again to see another girl, this one seemed awfully familiar. He tilted his head as he mentally reminisced on the first he saw her. He got into another one of those predicaments back in the forest, with her and two others. He wondered what the other two he met back there were up to these days. Oh well. "Delilah, right? Fancy seeing you here." he said with a straight face.

Cade just continued to look at her, a cold expression on his face as always as she smiled. He simply shrugged at her comment about the company as he sat there lifelessly. "Considering I'm always alone, I guess it wouldn't hurt." Company normally didn't bother him at all unless you were to press the wrong buttons. In reality, he has somewhat mellowed during his time here. He couldn't help it much, too much inspiration perhaps.

Girly? Cadey? Now that really caught his eyes, well, rather his ears. Never has anyone called him that before and never did he like it when people couldn't remember his name; it often made him feel as if he wasn't really important in life. This often saddened him, but he knew he would have to suck it up sooner or later. What was with that anyway? He simply shook his head at this in utter disgust then looked at her again. "It's just Cade. Nothing more, nothing less. It's actually a common English boy's name, but I doubt you'd know that though."

As to why he was almost always alone could probably be guessed. He was used to being the outcast he always was, and probably still is. If that were the case, well, he just didn't seem to care anymore. That much about him hasn't changed a bit. He wasn't necessarily anti-social, then again he didn't talk much out of turn or out of character. "I...don't know really." His expression, as serious as it ever was, had not altered after the girl's reaction. "I know more than anybody how much of a jerk I am. You don't have to remind me." He in fact was a jerk half the time. That was clearly an issue he needed to resolve with himself. Oh well.

"I'm not always like this. My life before this school was like a nightmare come true. I've been humiliiated and dissed all the time. So I tend to retaliate in this manner. Over the years I've learned to take things more seriously. People tell me to lighten up and just chill out. I'm not willing to open up so easily. I can't risk befriending people while running the risk of being put down again." He got up from the edge of the roof and turned around. There he was looking into the distance. "Its just me." Poor guy.
