Alex tugged on his back-pack. Looking up at the great spires of the castle in front of him, he squinted as the sunlight caught his eyes. Yep, he thought to himself, good choice buddy! You outdid yourself this time! he had a smile on his face as he walked down the pathway leading through a few arches and to the front door. Looking around, he did notice a few people intently staring at him. Applying pressure on his forearms, he was comforted to know that his throwing knives were still securely strapped to his forearms, underneath his jacket. I'm the new kid, Alex told himself, Of course they'll be staring... This was not his old high-school, he just needed to relax a bit.
