Color...

Jonathon looked around the lawn. The were a lot of colors here, and that was something he didn't like. He didn't like colors... he wished he could make everything at this school in black and white, but knowing that not many people would like that, he restrained himself.

He took a nervous step near one of the empty tables, looking around at the other students all the while. He took another step, still looking around. Figuring that it was safe, Jonathon began to walk at a steady pace, looking at the ground.

Once at an empty table, Jonathon took a seat. He put his hand on the table, and accidentally drained the color from it. "Oops," he said, although a slight smile was on his lips. He hadn't meant to drain the color from the table, but it had just happened. Now, instead of light blue, the table was white. Jonathon's skin was a little darker than the color of the table, but not by much. This didn't bother him at all. He reached into his bag and pulled out one of his homework assignments.

Jonathon looked up slowly. At the other side of the table was a boy who looked to be a few years younger than himself.

He blinked for a few moments, and looked back to his homework. "Jonathon," he mumbled, acting as if the math homework were more interesting than the boy that sat in front of him.

Jonathon didn't look up from his work. He didn't really want to talk right now... but since the boy was there, what other choice did he have?

"No," he mumbled again, trying to use as few words as he could.

"I'm new here, I don't know anyone," Jonathon said, looking up from his homework. He hoped that this would get the message across.
