Taking a nice and warm shower, he wore a white shirt and a dark green jacket alongside black pants. He also decided to take his red scarf and promptly placed it on his neck. He cooked himself an unceremonious breakfast, simple eggs, bacon and bread. His parents were out early again, leaving a note with money on it as per usual. He never really resented his parents for this- he knew they had to make some form of living so they don't starve, so he shrugged and pocketed the money. Before leaving, he eyed the marked date on the calendar, 15th. Dubbed with "Memorial Day" the unfortunate day where all normalcy fell apart and lives were taken on that day. He tried not to dwell on it too much as it was in the past, but he would still attend in respect to those who died, [color=#81F7F3]"All black, huh..."[/color] --- Footsteps that crunched against the fallen leaves resounded throughout the forest. Normally people wouldn't be out in this part of the forest, well, except Gerard maybe. He was looking for something to relieve his boredom in the small, silent town of Verona. It was time to go back soon, and, as per usual nothing happened. Though there was this odd sighting, something that piqued his interest- a Solar Eclipse. It happened during the dead of the night, where the usual calming orange tinge of the Sun being absent, Gerard only managed to notice when he was outside getting ready to just observe the stars. In his normal walk, everything seemed as it always was. The silent chatter of the forest still remained present, and the soft rustle of the leaves was there too. Then out of the blue- everything was still. The leaves stopped in their path towards the soft ground, small critters stood like deer waiting to be run over by cars. Even the wind wasn't there. Gerard went wide eyed, with a confused expression, [color=#81F7F3]"What the hell?"[/color] he asked himself out, tightening the grip of his red scarf. He touched a falling leaf, and it started on it's normal course again but the everything was still still. Before he could do much elese, a splitting headache took hold. He fell on his knees with a beckoning moan. Then everything moved again, the wind was back, the animals scuttered away and all the leaves started falling once more. Instead of the usual pained expression, a smile formed on his face. [color=#81F7F3]"Interesting."[/color] he thought to himself. After gathering himself, he got up and briskly walked towards the town. His thoughts all being permeated by what just happened. Dusting himself off the dirt on his pants and on his rucksack, then his phone then silently hummed and vibrated in his pants, quickly checking it out, a message appeared; "Yo, Emergency meeting at the Astronomy club later, I guess." Short and concise, just as Gerard likes it. This was probably because of the unscheduled solar eclipse that happened yesterday night. Gerard then shrugged and started walking towards the school. It wasn't too long of a walk, Verona is a small town after all. Everyone was also walking normally as always. [color=#81F7F3]"So. whatever happened just there, it seemed I stopped time?"[/color] he asked himself rhetorically, a stricken face then followed [color=#81F7F3]"Damn, I forgot we had school today."[/color] No one notable could be seen at the front gate, with all his time frolicking in the woods he was surprised he was the first one there. First class of the week- Home Eco, and he was damned early again, with only few students walking about. [color=#81F7F3]"Guess I got time to think."[/color] he muttered to himself, walking to the Home Economics. The class only had a few students in it, so he took his usual seat, took a book out and started reading while thinking of the events that unfolded in the woods earlier.
