Name: Kodiak
Gender: Male
Personality: Kodiak is generally a very happy child, he loved to run around and just generally smile. Kodiak, loves very simple things in life. His Mother, Mac-N-Cheese, and his box of colors. Most kids his age love Gameboys or playing toss with their Fathers, but Kodiak prefers a box of crayons an drawing. He likes learning new things, but can be very lazy at times. He doesn't like to do things a whole lot, and sometimes is very lazy about talking. He loves talking, but at the same time here are times when he's just too lazy to form words to form a conversation.
Kodiak is a very gullible little boy, he believes a lot of what people say and tell him. Believing that nobody lies, and nobody tells something different from anything but the truth. Which can sometimes cause him to be very confused when he is told one thing, then another. Especially from people close to him, as he believes nobody lies. However, it's more of a 'lying to himself' sort of gullible attitude, as he knows deep down people can and do lie. Kodiak is very open-minded, he likes to believe every has very true and 'pure' intentions, and tries to let those hose hurt him make an example of their own personality and human-ways, rather than just everyone being mean and evil.

Kodiak giggled fondly, looking at his mother with wide open eyes. He'd always been very open about the world, especially being a young child. He loved waking up to his mothers face and a box of crayons every single day, though today was a new occasion. School was going to be starting after a long and joyful summer. His first year of Kindergarten was going to be much different from Pre-K. No more naps and learning his ABC's. Now he would learn words, and how to read, and 123's. He wasn't the most excited, considering he wasn't going to be at home with his mother anymore. He was going to be at school with lots of other kids around him to interact with. Strapping on his backpack he marched up to the car, a small prideful smile on his face. his Mother's hand on his shoulders, looking down at him fondly as they walked. Smiling up at the blue-grey sky and the white clouds, he smiled bigger. He was going to enjoy school, a big playground and a bunch of kids. He would miss his Mother, but maybe when he got to school he would see more than just plastic on couches and his Mother constantly reminding him because he was 'different' there was a need to be 'aware', though he was never sure what she meant most of the time. He just nodded his head and acted like he cared.
Kodiak could feel the tires halt softly, his Mother nodding her head. The pick-up line, which was basically a line where cars drove up and dropped their children off. His Mother would likely head off to work as she did everyday, leaving Dad home alone until he got out at around 2:00pm. His Mother was never home until 6:00pm so he would have all day to play around with his Father until she came to tuck him into bed and wish him a good night. Jumping out of the car he waved a good bye to his Mother and ran into the school, his little bottom almost wiggling with excitement. Maybe there would be new children from last year, maybe not.
His feet stopped inside, unsure of which hallway to take to get to where he needed to go. He noticed big kids going down one hallway, and almost immodestly figured he was going to be going to be in the opposite series of hallways. They always kept the older children away from the younger ones, for their 'safety', again the word his mother users. He looked at the drawing on the wall, to his left. It was beautiful it really was. Children around the world, literally, holding one another's hands. Their feet touching a blackish and grey circle. He smiled at it, moving forward to put his hand on it. A hand quickly formed on his shoulder, his head snapping around very frightened. A woman, who looked very young and very pretty smiled at him. "You must be Kodiak, your Mother told me you would be the little wolfish colored boy with a red backpack?" He didn't know most of what she was saying, but the red she was talking about confused him. He had a grey backpack, not a red one. "My bag is grey miss.." he began, he hands seemed to clasp over her mouth in shock. Shaking her head she hurriedly pushing him along to a classroom. "Sorry I forgot about your condition Kodiak, I hope you can forgive me." Again, there were words he didn't understand. He was too lazy to ask her what it meant though, he wanted to see the other children and what they looked like. So far everything had been different shades of colors, and he was hoping he would find something that was a bright enough blue or yellow, that he could see it in it's actual color. As soon as he walked into the room, the teacher's aid took his bag and put it in the cubbies with the others. He shook the man's hand, "H-hi" he said looking up at him, he could see a faint blue, and grey/white colors on him. "I'm Brennan, i'm just helping out you today. Just for today." he said, shaking his hand back. He looked like he was a high schooler or a lot older. Nodding he bounced off to greet the rest of his classmates.
They all seemed to be very nice and kind, except for one kid who just liked to whine and complain and make the teacher pay attention to him. He seemed like a greedy little boy. Nobody paid much attention to him until the boy, Brennan called him a bad apple, like an apple gone sour. He knew that apples, when they got brown on them tasted bad. His Mother had told him many times you had to throw them out, though he had tried putting them in sunlight to get better; but they just got worse. Pulling on teachers shirt he asked her, "Are you going to throw the bad apple out?" He asked with concern in his voice. He never knew you could throw children away, would that mean his Mother would throw him out if he was bad? Shaking her head and laughing she shook her head no, and paying no more attention to Kodiak. Pouting for a bid he stumbled off to talk to other children, though was quickly redirected to sit down in a chair.
They were supposed to be drawing something in the room they wanted to learn more about, whatever they wanted to draw was fine with her. His eyes dazed around the room, searching for something interesting to draw. He had wanted to draw something that had been a bright blue or yellow, but nothing was in the room that was such. Maybe they didn't like blue's or yellow's at this school. Shrugging his shoulders he noticed a dusty grey square object, known as a lunchbox on top of a table. It was next to pale black colored little girl who wore greyish freckles on her face. He fluffy cheeks puffed out as she drew an almost white colored duck on her paper, the one on the door. Giggling he began drawing her lunchbox, making a roughly shaped rectangle on the paper, he drew a smaller one on the inside of it. The lunchbox has a drawing on it, that was a black colored smiley face. He drew that in there too. Bouncing up in down in joy he pulled three crayons out of his pocket, one grey, one black, and one white. He put the white one away and used the black one to trace the smiley face over until he saw a bold black color. Then he used the grey color to messily color in the outline of the rectangle grey. He beamed proudly down at his drawing, waving it around in the air for the teacher to come look at. "Miss I finished!"[b] he shouted with joy as she walked up to him, smiling down at his. [b]"Share it with the class, so they can see what you drew." He nodded, and quickly ran up to the front of the class. He faced the drawing out to the class, jumping up and down on the balls of his feet. "I drew the girl with the freckles lunchbox! Don't it look just like it?" he asked, his face large and warm with pride. He heard an eruption of laughed as soon as he uttered the words. He wasn't sure why, but he felt deeply sad. He didn't feel like crying, but he felt as though the children were laughing at him, like his Dad did at the silly men on T.V when they played jokes on each other. He sniffled, muttering for them to stop. The teacher gasped, almost like the lady in the hall had when he has first come to school. She shushed the class immediately, telling them they wouldn't get milk and a snack later if they didn't hush up. He sad down, an unhappy grim look on his face as the teacher began to explain to the children he 'special' and 'different'. Some of the kids looked confused, so she had to re-explain it to them once more. "Kodiak isn't like all of you, he can't see the color pink or red, he can only see black and grey and white. Sometimes he can see blue or yellow, but not very much. So to him, Kamal Lilia, he saw your lunchbox as he drew it." She continued to scold the children on how laughing at what they think is a mistake is wrong, and they shouldn't do it. The girl hung her head in shame, like she was just slapped by her Mother for taking the last cookie in a cookie jar.
Kodiak went through the rest of his day in peace, smiling as he drew or learned that the number two and three made the number five. He went home tired out, not even awake enough to wait for his Mother to return home. He asked his Father to make him Mac-n-cheese, and then bounced off to bed. He wasn't awoken at all, and instead he dreamt of brightly colored blue and yellow colors surrounding him, making him feel happy inside. He caught a glimpse of another color, it replaced the ugly dark grey color he usually saw on leaves, though he wasn't sure what it was called, and it quickly disappeared out of sight from himself.
