Today was one of the rare days when Adrian was feeling depressed, and by depressed, I mean slightly less happy, although you would only be able to tell if you knew him well enough. Early this morning, Adrian had come across a black cat. Now while most people would find this a problem because of the whole bad luck thing, it bothered Adrian for a different reason; it reminded him of his greatest regret. It had been six years since the only real friend he ever had left his life, how he let her go after his father managed to convince him that it was to protect her, but that never stopped him from hurting. His mind was brought out of it's musings when he heard his name called. His brain was able to pick out the command to raise his hand. As he did so, he noticed the girl in front of the class, the new student he had been hearing about, and that's when his eyes widened 'it...it can't be. But she looks so much like her' however his doubt was blown away when he heard the whispering of a student behind him "Lydia? What kind of name is that?" 'it...it really is her' that thought brought tears of joy to Adrian's eyes. 'I'm not going to make the same mistake again. I won't push you away to protect you, this time I'll just kill anyone who tries to hurt you' he mental declared in a surprisingly cheery tone considering he was talking about killing people
