time for new beginnings

Walking with the weight of what he had done, although not on purpose, made David's steps heavier. It hurt to know that he had killed, but he tried to keep it out of his mind as much as possible. And since he was new at a school he needed to find friends. And in order to do that he had to put that behind him. As much as he could. Sure, talking would probably make something intangible, so he'd have to hold back on that, but making friends couldn't be too hard without talking, right?

David had been standing in the admissions office for quite some time. He had only just discovered how to tell the lady at the desk that he was new and needed papers. She was getting them ready as he waited. Eventually she had them, explained what he needed to know and sent him off. He thanked her with a small smile and a wave. Hopefully she got that message.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the room he found some girl out there. She was odd looking, almost white hair with a single black strand. Interesting. But David wasn't going to judge. Instead he stopped staring and smiled and waved. He thought for a second how he could ask if she was new and realized the top of the paper in his hands was title 'New Student Guidlines.' He indicated the words 'New Student' and then pointed to her, nodding and making a curious face. Man, this was going to be fun. But the instant he spoke, someone was going to die, so he had to remain silent.
