As school passes by slowly, seemingly unending to Merlain, as people mock him and tease him about anything they can think of to make him feel worse about himself. He manages to make it through until lunchtime came around. He got plain milk, some chicken nuggets, some green beans, and a bit of mixed fruits. He sits at his usual place in the back of the lunchroom by himself, the table seeming to be quite large, though its small size. Merlain takes a big sigh, and plays with his food a bit, before he sees a figure appear behind him, casting a shadow over him. He gets scared and flinches, crouching down lower, expecting to be hit or bullied.
To Merlain's surprise, the figure moved from over him, and sat beside him. Merlain stayed in a crouched position in his seat at the table. He slowly looked over, and noticed something quite peculiar. Sitting beside him looking at him, was a smaller what seemed to be wolf and dragon hybrid breed. The wolf had shorter fur than him, with a deep, almost black-red color to it, like blood. He had small, folded wings on his back, and sort of a dragon-like body frame. He also looked to be about five foot, which is much shorter than Merlain.
The small wolf was looking at him intently, head slightly tilted, looking at Merlain with an odd look. He says in a somewhat high pitch, a bit higher than Merlain's, and very nervously, "H--hi, you looked a little lonely, mind if I sit here?" Merlain was shocked at this and sat up cautiously, saying it was OK in a frightened voice.
"So what is your name? My name is Brithley. Like I said you seemed like you were a bit lonely, so I figured I would sit beside you. I of course am new here, don't know anyone. You seemed like the best bet to get to know how to get around." Brithley was explaining.
"Well...I am told that I am the kind of person to be the one to come to for help. I know all about this school. I can tell you more, if you would like to learn about it. Let me see your scheduling, if you have it with you."
Brithley hands Merlain his schedule, Merlain looking it over, sees that they have all the same classes. "Hmm, well it seems we have all the same classes together. Stick with me, and you won't ever get lost." Merlain tells him, and gives a faint smile towards Brithley.
Merlain notices that Brithley is really cute, having a good, clean cut body, small framed as it was. _'Wow, he is really cute. I wonder if he is like me.' _ Merlain thinks to himself.
"That sounds like a plan. Now, what is your name? I don't believe I caught it earlier." Brithley asks Merlain.
"O-oh, my name is Merlain Caster." Merlain tells Brithley.
"Hehe, that's a nice name: Merlain. My full name is Brithley DioVanni." Brithley replies, a faint smile on his face, a bit of blush filling his cheeks.
"I really like your name too. Very cool last name. I hope we can get to be really good friends. You seem like a nice person." Merlain says.
Brithley giggles at this. Merlain smiles more warmly, opening up a bit to him as they sit there eating lunch. They both have a good time during school that day. Merlain shows Brithley around to all the classes that they would have together now for the whole school year.
