── ALEXEI ──
Username: wolfie
Name: Alexei
Gender: Male
──────────
Personality:
Alexei was a normal teen in highschool. Young, sad, anxious, and tired. But what made him different than every other kalon is... his personality. But wait, I just said he had a 'normal' personality. Yes, but that is only one.
When he turned 13, he was, like, cursed or something. Okay, so now he had this... 'power.' Randomly, every single day, he would change emotions against his will. Alexei could change into a variety of different emotions, but there are three main ones, as represented by his hair color. Red-pink: Anger. Yellow: Happiness. Blue: Sadness. You can figure out how this went for his social life. One emotion he despises the most is anger. Out of nowhere, he would snap out on someone randomly. The way you could tell his emotion currently was by his eye color. If it was yellow, he was happy. If it was blue, he was sad, and so on.
But oddly enough, the only ones closest to him are aware of this fact, like his family, and... his best friend. This sucked. A lot. Because he didn't have an excuse for what did or said, people would think he did everything he did on his own, intentionally.
Despite all his other mixed up emotions, Alexei was generally a nice, helpful guy. Caring, too. But no one really got to see the good side of him, people love to see only see the bad sides of others.

What do they regret the most:
Rejecting his best friend, Ethan.
At the time, Alexei was only in highschool. He had assumed he was straight, but Alexei never really did have time for relationships. All of that changed one day.

I smiled as I heard the bell ring. The end of the day, finally! I was a little bummed out still since I got an F on my History test, but that was because I was way too 'flirty'. Yup, my emotion, power, thing again. I tried to talk and whisper to this really pretty kalon in front of me, but to no avail. Eh. I don't feel much affection towards her anymore, now that I'm back to my normal self.
I walked out of the school and into the parking lot, hanging my backpack over my shoulder. I then heard a very familiar voice, calling out my name from far away. At first I thought I was imagining it, but it soon started to get closer. I turned around to see my best friend, Ethan, running towards me. My eyes widen- I thought he was going to crash into me, so I quickly stepped out of the way. Once he arrived, he was panting a lot, clearly tired. Ethan and I were friends ever since 4th grade. He was always someone who was quiet and shy at first glance, but would eventually open up and let loose. He was really nice, and when I told him about my weird emotion thing, he still stuck with me even to this day. Ethan is the only friend I have, but I don't care. He's all I need as a friend.
"Um, what's wrong? You okay?" I asked, worried and concerned. "I... I wanted to... tell... you some...thing," Ethan breathed out, his words separated by long, hearty pants. "Um, okay! Go ahead," I replied. This was kinda weird. Why would he be running at me, calling my name, to tell me one single thing! This must be important. And this is when I curse the world for giving me this terrible power, where I can do something spontaneous any moment now.
He looked down at his feet, avoiding any eye contact with me. What was he doing? Was he okay? And I swore I could see a faint, blush-red hue on his cheeks. "I...um, I..." Ethan mumbled, fidgeting with his hair. I could tell he was struggling with trying to tell me this... thing.
"I like you."
I blinked. There was a sudden thought that popped into my mind, but I quickly pushed it away. I smiled a confused smile at him. "What do you mean? Like, as a friend? If so, I like you too, Ethan!" I regret what I said. I could tell that I had said a terribly wrong thing. I realize that when I see Ethan's face scrunch up. He shook his head. "Ah- no, I mean I really like you." He paused. "L-love, even." Yet another long pause. "I love you, alright? More than friends. More than best friends. More than mega super uber best friends." I blinked at him as I started to process what he had just said. What is the next level of mega super uber best friends? Lovers, of course. I mean, I love Ethan with all my heart, but not that way. I never experimented with girls before, let alone guys. But if I never tried anything with a girl, than how do I know if I'm gay? I needed time to think this out. Not now though, I can tell poor Ethan is waiting and dreading what I'll be saying next.
I wanted to open my mouth and say, "I'm not sure if I feel this way, I need time to figure this out." But instead, I was greeted with a painful headache. I knew what would happen next. My vision turns a slight shade of red, and then back to normal. I've changed emotions.
I have no control over my words or actions... this is horrible. Now, at first I thought this was 'anger' but then I quickly saw the orange tint. This only meant one thing. This, is what I call, the 'SUPER MEGA JERK BULLY EMOTION.' Self-explanatory. This special emotion comes out rarely (thank goodness!) But then it HAD to come out right about now, when Ethan is confessing his love for me! Yes, he is aware of my weird power, but either way, he'll be heartbroken and hurt.
"Hah, of course! I doubt no one, not even the most desperate gay dude would want to love a little cowardly bookworm like you!" Me-but-not-really-me said. I winced. Ethan's eyes widened and took a step back. "Alexei!" He cried. It was true he was expecting me to say a 'no' or something, but not as bad as this. Please, Ethan, snap out of your lovey-dovey thing! This is NOT me! I wanted to say. This was torture, seeing everything, but doing nothing. It was true when you tried to confess, your insides get so jiggled up and you forget everything you knew. This was 100% true in Ethan's case.
"Hey, it's true! Who would want to date a weak little crybaby? I sure know I don't!" 'Alexei' laughed a terrible laugh, as I frowned and shook my head over and over. "You... you really think that of me..?" Ethan asked quietly, tears grouping up on his eyelids. It wasn't a secret that Ethan was pretty sensitive. NO! It's not true, nothing's true!" I wanted to yell.
Fake me pushed him, hard enough to make him stumble, but not that hard as to make him fall. "Uh, duh! Everyone in the school thinks so." Don't listen to him! Lies! Snap out of it! "Alexei... how could you?" He said, his voice barely a whisper. "Oh look, little wittle Ethan's crying! I think I proved my point." Fake-Alexei-that-I-hate-like-alot kicked him, and it seemed to be a really harsh kick, and Ethan fell down on the hard cemet. "Time to go back to your mommy, little boy. Now get out, I don't want a gay in my personal space." Evil-Alexei chuckled. I felt like I was on the verge of crying myself. I would never do such a thing.
"Forget it Alexei, I never knew you were such a... jerk!" He slowly got up, and ran away, holding his bruised arm. And that was when a calm wave washed over me. I blinked. I was back. I wanted to call for Ethan, but he was too far away. "Damn it, Ethan!" I yelled, furiously kicking a rock. He was too caught up in his emotions, he didn't think correctly. I know he'll hate me forever now. Even worse, I think I did have feelings for him.
------
The next day, I didn't see Ethan at school. "Where is he?" Someone asked me, assuming I knew the answer. I didn't. Our teacher heard, and she frowned, looking at me with a sympathetic glint in her eyes. "He moved." I stared at her in disbelief. He would never! "Moved? Like, to a different school, right?" She shook her head sadly. "Moved. Out of the state."

"Alexei! Come out honey, please!" My mother called. I locked myself up in my room. I can't be in the presence of anyone, I'll hurt them... physically and mentally. "Mom, I can't! I hate it! I hate my life and my personalities!" After another 5 minutes of my mom begging me to come out, she stopped finally. I picked up my phone. No texts or calls from Ethan. I tried calling him. It didn't work. I've tried texting him, but he blocked me. I will never forgive myself for what I did. Yes, it was a small thing I did, but I truly, really love Ethan. And just now, I realize that. I will always beat myself up for what I did, over and over. Who knows what I'll do next? I don't even have a conscience. I can't do anything. Can't pick right from wrong.
It's time for me to live a solitary, lonely life, drifting off into insanity. Without Ethan.
