WE CAN PLAY
(Preface)
"Oh, Bruce, get the snake... let it bite me with it's poison... I deserve to die for what I have done," said Alex choking out his words in between sobs, while curled up in a tight ball.

"Alright, everyone, goodmorning," said Mr. Newman.
Finniare was in her first hour class sitting in a desk near a window, in the very back of class, where you can see out into the school garden. She often stared out at it during class. Finnaire patted her hair making sure, her dyed passion fruit colored hair, was still neatly down in a flower crown hairstyle, it had taken her a hour to do her hair and her arms still felt tired.
"Okay, everyone," said the mixed race man, Mr. Newman, adjusting his black rimmed glasses, and running his hand through his ruefully curly black hair.
"Today we have a new student! Please be nice to him, being the kid can be quiet nerving."
Just then the blue colored door to the classroom swung open revealing a Caucasian boy with slicked back platinum blonde, light blue eyes, baby face, and a odd smile on his face, walks into the classroom wearing a perfectly tailored purplish blue colored suit.
"Goodmorning everyone! My name is Alex Gordon and I'm new here!" He said, with a fairly high voice, just barely deep enough to tell it was male, while he entisiastly threw his arms up.
"Well you seem awfully happy," said Mr. Newman.
"Why of course! A bum, bum, bum!" Alex said, while clapping his hands to every 'bum'.
"Well, nothing like a chirpy boy like you to make me feel happy, go ahead and pick your own seat."
"Teacher's pet," a boy said, pretending to cough.
Alex walked up to the student and handed them something covered in a white wrapping with black lettering on it shaped like a candy drop.
"Here's a cough drop, I always keep a few on me incase someone needs one, and I think you need one, no need to say thank you." Said Alex with a genuine smile on his face.
A few of the students giggled including Finniare. She made accidental eye contact with Alex and quickly averts her hazel colored eyes.
'I've never seen anyone with such intense blue eyes before,' thought Finnaire.
"Is it okay if I sit here?" Said Alex.
Finnaire looks up at Alex pressed her red colored lips together before saying yes.
Alex giggled like a 11 year old Beileber fan looking up shirtless pictures of Justin Bieber, then pulled out the blue colored chair to sit.
Throughout the class Finniare actually was paying attention to what the teacher was saying and writing on the white board. She could feel Alex's intense stare on her almost throughout the whole class making her feel somewhat uneasy.
After class Finnaire dashed for the front door like she always does but her teacher stopped her.
"Finnaire I need to talk to you, don't worry it won't be long," said Mr. Newman.
Finnaire sighed and walked up to the teachers steel desk. All of the other students had left except for Alex, who had given her a unnaturally wide grin still sitting in his new desk.
"Alex, can I talk to you too please?" Asked Mr. Newman.
Alex nodded his head and smiled even wider, which didn't even seem possible, and Finniare could swear she could see blood dripping out from the corners of his mouth from grinning that wide for that amount of time. Mr. Newman didn't seem to think it was weird. Alex began walked up to them with the same face expression and wiped the corners of his mouth with his mouth with his finger then putting his finger in his mouth.
"Hello, Mr. Newman, what do I owe the pleasure?" He said, relaxing his smile.
"Oh, well, Finnaire here isn't doing so well in my class and I was wondering seeing your fantastic school credentials that you could tutor her."
"Oh, it would be my pleasure," said Alex. He lifted up Finnaire's cinammon colored right hand and kisses it making Finniare blush.
"Finnaire, is that alright with you?" Asked Mr. Newman.
"Is what? Oh, yeah, uh, that's fine."
"We can go over to my place after school! Maybe after tutoring we can eat dinner then we can... play."
