One other person seemed to have a similar idea to Boyce; coming into the classroom to avoid the others. Then the girl mentioned that she was reading dark than black as well. ’An interesting conversation starter with a new person’ Boyce thought as he closed the book at the half way point. “I think it is a good series, one of my favorites to be exact.” Boyce wasn’t exactly sure what this girl, Sabrina as he remembered, was trying to do. Regardless the reason for starting the conversation there is no reason to ignore her or be rude. “I have read through it three times and I decided to start on my fourth. It is the best series in the school library in my opinion. Then again after reading each series this school has two to four times each you begin to know them quite well. Anyway how do you like the series so far?”

After Sabrina gave her thoughts on the ‘Darker Then Black’ series thus far Boyce decided her would test and see if she would ignore him from odd statements. “Earlier at lunch some bullies said I did some trick with my water bottle. At first I disregarded it as them finding a reason to mess with me, but after I move I think I found that to not be true. I started to roll the water bottle back and forth and after a bit the water start to stay at one point of the bottle, not even a drop moved to the other side. I seemed as if the water had been sealed at that spot. It spooked me and I left it at the table and bolted over here.” Boyce figured that if anything would get her to think he was a freak and ignore him this would be it. If not then he could easily call her a friend, though for now just a school friend.
