Colour in a World of Grey

Sable's mind wandered off as she listened to the instructor "teach" the students. She though of what could happen if the world wasn't like this. She knew there was something other than this. She sighed, and as soon as she did this the instructor's eyes snapped towards her.


"What was that!?"


"Uh, nothing sir I'm sorry!" Sable told him and sat up straight and clenched her hands together tightly.


She felt a bead of sweat trickle down her forehead. It reached her mouth and she really couldn't do anything but swallow it. She made a face at the salty taste and allowed her mind to wander. She knew if she didn't pay attention the instructor would send her to the headmaster's office and that was never a good thing. She had already been to his office several times, though, and was used to the weekly lashings. She looked at the instructor and tried to pretend she was paying attention, as to not arouse suspicion.

Dimitri paid great attention to the teacher, hanging onto her every word like it was life itself. It was the way he was raised, then she snapped at one of the girls in the class, he saw every head in the room travel to the one that was the victim of the teachers anger. He could immediately see that something was odd about her, she was sweating, and her eyes seemed unfocused and odd.


He had been seated next to her for all of this school year, always noticing little flaws in her facade. He had a curiosity for her, which was not natural. He scolded himself for wanting to speak to her and turned back to the teacher as she continued to speak.


(That alright?)

(That is fine, Sylvie)


Sable was thinking about the color of the room. She disliked the drab gray and thought that it would look more exciting if it were a more pink-ish color. Something that really caught the eye. She did like how it made everyone stand out against the wall though. Her mind was drifting off again to her dream of being an artist, but unfortunately that would probably never happen seeing as how nobody ever got what they wanted here. She wondered why the world was like the way it was. She wondered why someone would want the world like it is right now. Sable rested her cheek on her right hand and continued to stare at the teacher.

Dimitri looked over at her again, his curiosity drawing him yet again. He tapped her on her leg with his foot to make sure that she kept at attention and wasn't sent to get lashings again. Dimitri himself had only ever gotten them once, he wasn't sure how to react to them in any way. He knew they were bad, however, and would not wish bad things upon her.


He ran his fingers through his hair before returning to the droning of the teacher.
