One Way In and No Thought Out <OPEN>

Teufel walked down the barren halls half mindedly, thinking. This was a school for possibly the most dangerous children in the country, and here teufel was right in the middle of it. He smiled to himself and scratched the antlers he worked so hard to artificially meld them to his skull, so they kinda were an extension of him. He walked down to the office to sign up for classes. When he got to the office, he thought about what the other people might say

"Would they laugh? Would they hurt me?" He whispered self consciously. People never seemed to like him, was it his antlers, or was it his personality. Teufel had tried to become friends with other people by offering them simple stuff like dead flowers, but they never seemed to like them

When Teufel got to the office, he said his name to the register person and took a seat, waiting. He then noticed the person next to him, a girl. He said nervously, and quietly:
"Sorry, didn't mean to sit here, is this seat taken?"

Teufel nervously chewed on his finger and sat down. He felt akward people, like they would lash out at him any second. "Maybe this was a mistake...." He thought. Should he be here? Should he say something? He waited for the registration lady to finish up, when something in his backpack moved. Teufel put his hand into the bag and pulled out a small furry squirrel he had found earlier. It was still thrashing about, but Teufel shushed it and held it in his hand. He had been keeping it for a little "project" he was planning, but now that school was starting Teufel doubted he had the time.

He carefully held the small creature in his hands, smiling with a crazed look in his eye. Maybe school won't be so bad. He hoped he could make some friends. He noticed the girl staring at his antlers. He nervously mumbled a "sorry..." And continued to wait

Teufel looked at the girl curiously. She wanted the creature as a pet. He didn't really consider squirrels pets, but he never really understood people in the first place:

"Er, um, ok, sure" he said, smiling curiously, handing the small creature to her

"I'm...Teufel, nice to meet you" he added

Teufel looked at the squirrel carefully. Guess it was lucky. No matter, he had more somewhere. Always a second plan, he thought. He had never used a person in a dissection, but there was always a chance. He smiled airily, looking up at the ceiling.

Teufel shook the girl's hand, smiling a little. The squirrel seemed to be relaxed around the girl. Teufel wished he could be that relaxed around people. Whenever he tried to socialize he would always say the wrong thing. Maybe they didn't like the antlers, or was it his weird habits like his dissection hobby? Or was it how he was considered a psychotic sadist? Teufel smiled as the girl introduced herself as Julie. Teufel said happily

"Nice to meet you Julie. What classes do you want to get into?"

'She seemed nice' he thought maybe she would be a friend. Teufel kinda envied how good she handled animals. Maybe at this school Teufel could make some friends and improve his social skills.

"There are certainly some.... Interesting(?) classes here. But I'm not that good at English, or anything besides science." Teufel said, embarrassed that he wasn't smarter like the other students.. He had always failed math class, and the only reason he was in high school was because his teachers skipped him up. Guess they couldn't stand him, a high school wasn't exactly a place for a thirteen year old.

Teufel looked at his new friend more carefully. He couldn't tell how old she was. Trying to figure stuff out with girls was hard. He didn't really have a problem with reading guy's minds, but girls can be so complicated sometimes. Maybe Teufel was inexperienced hanging out with people. He didn't really hang out with people, much less girls. Trying to socialize, he asked another question:

" er, um..... w-would it be alright....if we became friends? Not anything weird, just friends?"

Teufel smiled happily. "Yeah, we'll help each other out" he nodded.

He smiled. Today was going better then he thought. He even made a friend. And they were talking to each other! This may have been a small accomplishment for a normal person, but with a person with no friends, this was a huge leap.

"I could bring more squirrels if you want...?" He suggested shyly, not knowing what to say next.

To try to make some more conversation, he asked "do you have any siblings or family? Sorry if it's a touchy subject..."
Teufel started to regret asking. What if her family was dead? He nervously chewed his finger.

'Two siblings? That must be pretty fun' he thought. He thought about his sister, Engel and how she was doing? Did she even remember him? Did she want to remember him?
He was zoned out so he almost didn't notice Julie ask him the same question. His family.... Teufel smiled at the thought of them. Guess they didn't want him in their life, No big deal.

"I have two parents and a sister, but my parents don't really want me in their life, i don't mind. I'm not the most likable person, so I understand why they hate me. Maybe I'm a disappointment to them, who knows?" he smiled, shrugging.

If they didn't want him in his life, fine with him. He really didn't care. He continued to smile, thinking how he could make a new family or something like that.
