He's Different

The beginning

         I know what you came here for. You came here for answers. Well I don't have all the answers, Like I don't know why turtles pee from their mouths. But I can tell you how the story went down. So for starters my name is Silas, Silas McCaney. The story will start when me and brother Jonas go to our college art class. 

      It starts when we make it to the front door of the art room. Jonas opened the door for me (like the gentleman he is) and we both walked inside. We both thought we were going to be the first people there but there was already people inside. Jonas and I sat next to each other. 

"so.. what do you think the teach will make us do for the first day?" Jonas asked. 

I shrugged " who knows?" I said and I promptly got my sketch book out. As the bell rang people poured into the room taking seats everywhere. The teacher came in about two minutes late. 

"hello class i'm Miss Cambell and i will be your art professor" she said as she walked around the front of the room.

"so lets get into what we will be doing. you guys will be getting a full month to finish this." she said pausing and looking around for the reactions in the room. "you will do this project with a partner I will choose." I could here the groans coming from all over the room. 

I looked around the room to look at all the people to see my options but no one really interested me but I mean I  didn't look all around the room either.

" alright, lets see uhm when I call your name and your partners name stand and then find each other and sit next to each other." she said 

I sigh gathering my things in a pile so I can get up when needed. 

" alright...Aj Saxton an Phoebe Martyr" Miss Cambell said and after that I zoned out thinking about what the project could even be about. 

"Jonas McCaney and Lauren Gen" Miss Cambell says while writing some things down. since she said his name i started to listen more carefully now. 

"Silas McCaney and Joe Stohned" She says. I stand and look around and I see a muscular man with purple strands of hair stand up as well he walks over to me. 

"hello i'm Joe where would you like to sit?" The so call 'Joe' said though his voice surprised me is wasn't to deep but it was raspy and it kinda startled me at first.  

"uhm i guess we could sit closer to the teacher" I said but I  felt like my voice was higher in pitch. Chuckling he went and found a seating place a little closer to the teacher. 

We both sat uncomfortably  as the teacher continued to rattle off names. Soon later she stops and stands up in the front of the class. "Okay," she said "So I know that you are wondering why you had to have partners. Well, I have decided that I will give you one month to Create a life size cardboard cutout of your partner." she paused for and moment to catch her breath, "Not only do I want you to make a cutout I want you to write your favorite things about the person and you will explain why. I know that is a lot but if we need more time I can try to work something out."

I looked at her with my mouth open, Life size? how the heck am i supposed to do that when I'm sitting next to a giant?! Miss Cambell sighs "Alright I will let you guys and Gals start on the project" she claps and walks back to her desk. 

I stared at the teachers desk as I contemplated on what I might say to this man. nothing came up. 

"uh so what would you like to start doing first?" Joe asked from behind me.

"uh I guess we could get to know each other a little bit..." I said turning to look at him. Was he wearing sunglasses? inside? what the heck?

"Actually why are you wearing sunglasses?" I asked Joe scowled, "It's nothing. i just like them" he said. I crossed my arms 

"Alright your turn mister" I mutter leaning back. "My turn? What do want me to ask? Whats your favorite color?!" Joe Huffed 

"One my favorite color is Pink. Second ask whatever comes to your mind first" I explained. He sat looking towards me i wasn't sure if he was staring or zoned out due to his stupid sunglasses. Joe huffed and fumbled with the end of his black leather jacket. 
"I don't have a question. You ask a question" Joe said turning away his face resting into a small scowl. 
"..Okay, Why do you have purple strands of hair?" I ask leaning forward trying to get him to look at me. He shifted uncomfortable and crossed him legs. 
"My little sister wanted me to" he says turned to face me. I nod and he sighs. 
"what about you? why is your hair pink?" He questions and i shrug. 

"mental breakdown?" I say chuckling a little and he nods. 
"I get that" he replies awkwardly looking away 

"...How old is your sister?" I ask and he tensed shaking his head. 
"Don't ask me about my personal life." he mutters turning to look at me. The scowl was quite terrifying so i just nod. 
"Okay, sorry about that" I mumble rubbing my arm a little looking down. 

"Its fine, you didn't know I just don't like strangers meddling in my personal life" he says with the smallest smile. 
"you have a brother don't you?" He says tilting his a head a little. 
"oh yea! his name is Jonas, hes my twin but we dont look like twins so we usually just say brothers." I say remembering all the surprised looks we used to get as kid. The memories made me grin. 
Joe chuckles 
"you are right! i never would have guess you guys were twins!" he says and i was going to shoot a rebuttal back at him but the bell rang and i sighed taking out a note card writing my number on it. 

"Here, it'll be easier to get this done if we can do it out of school hours y'know" I say handing him the small card. He nods smiling a little. 
"i'll make sure to contact you" he says standing up. He grabs his bag and waves to me with a small smile and leaves. 
I lean back in the chair i'm in for a second staring towards the door he had just walked out of. 
God, This dude is going to be so interesting. 
I jump as a hand lands on my shoulder. 
"Silas? you good?" Jonas asks his face displaying worry and I nod. 
"yea i'm fine" I say pushing myself up. 
Jonas waited for me and we walked out of the classroom 
"So Joe huh?" he asks 
"Hes alright" I mumble with a small smile
