Tricks and Lies

The First Day

*Credit to Human Tom's look: y-annah

[Tom's POV]

I sighed heavily, and opened my eyes.
"Woah."

I smirked slightly at the reflection in the mirror that was placed in front of me.

I was now a brunette with smooth, tanned skin. My piercings were still intact with my ears, but they were ears of a human's. My horns were missing, and replacing my third eye was a scar.
It felt really weird with just two of my eyes, but I guessed that was the way of humans.

"Now Master, I must warn you.. Just because your looks changed, doesn't mean your powers have." My butler spoke.

"I know, Lou." I rolled my eyes.

He sighed."..Just try not to accidentally reveal your identity.. or get out of control."

I turned to face him with a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine.. Now, time to try on some hot clothes to go with my new look!" I grinned.

I ended up picking a regular long-sleeved, black shirt, (I rolled the sleeves up of course) a pair of black jeans, and some black combat boots to finish the outfit. Black was definitely my human color.

I was just about to get out of the old car (in which was a carriage before Lou turned it to a car) when my butler stopped me.

"Master, we need a new name for you as well. I can then register you in the school,"

"Why? Isn't Tom fine?"

"Well... just for safety reasons." My butler hesitated.
I decided to let it go for now and sighed. "Alright.. How about Tim? Tim.. Hades? - Read that in a book- But yeah, simple, not suspicious... Yeah, Tim Hades." I nodded to myself.

"Very well, go straight to an office. I'll be seeing you after school." My butler nodded and drove of as soon as I got out of the car.

"Right-O...." I sighed and turned to be greeted by the college gates. I glanced around with my hand in my pockets, seeing students enter.. Knowing where to go.

I sulked.
"I'm screwed..."

Minutes passed and I was still wandering around. What time did classes even start?

So far I had made it to the office and was handed a schedule.. But I barely knew what most of these places were.
There were no signs on the campus at all!

I grew frustrated to the point I began to heat up. "Damn.. where's Marshmallow when you need him.." I growled, clenching the paper in my fist. No one else was on the campus now, only myself who was walking in circles.

Well there was this kid I've passed by a few times. He sat on one side of a bench in the middle of the quad, under a tree.. His face in a book as papers attempted to fly away under the books scattered around him. I couldn't see what he looked like..

Maybe I could ask him for help..

Before I knew it, I was making my way towards the boy, getting closer ad close to him.

I awkwardly made my way to the empty side of the bench. "Um.." I choked out,"Anyone sitting here?"
Man, talk about social anxiety..

He stayed silent for awhile.
"...Not at the moment." He spoke in a strange, yet familiar voice that made my demon heart ache.

I gulped, and awkwardly let myself take a seat next to him. I hated this awkward silence, and began to glance around. I then looked to see what he was reading....
