Stanislav instinctively shied away, flattening himself against the wall. But when he saw who it was he relaxed a bit, and smiled nervously. He was clearly anxious about something, as he was a very bad liar and one could tell he was trying to hide something by the look on his face. Sergey left the classroom after everyone else, stopping by the two in the corridor.

"What's on your mind you look worried?" I asked I didn't want to sound rude but he was pretty transparent and i Was curious

Sergey raised a brow and stared at his younger brother expectantly. Stanislav continued to smile sheepishly as he produced papers from his jacket. He gave them to Sergey, who took them and stared at them blankly. He couldn't read, but he could tell by the font what they were. "What did you do....?" He said in a disapproving manner. Stanislav pressed his hands together and looked at the ground. "I... Might've signed up for a few things... But that's good, right? I mean, you said I should be more social." Sergey dropped the papers, becoming livid. He simply stared at him, hissing, "That was back in the old country!" What he didn't know was that Stanislav had signed up for Cheer, Drill Team, Choir, and Band.

"whats wrong with signing up for activities?" i nearly shouted "Just because you want to be a loner and push people away does not mean that you will kill your brothers chance at it!" My voice was raising but i was mad. All i had done was try to help and i didn't mind if he was rude to me but he was his brother they were supposed to help each other "If you actually want him to be happy say something, because how it looks like now its like you want to ruin his chances at making any friends apart from your self!" i was nearly screaming I stood in front of him and crossed my arms i was very stubborn and i did not go down easy

Sergey was shivering with anger. "I'm just trying to protect him! You wouldn't get it!" He turned on his heel and flew off, which meant that he was really angry because he almost never flies. When only a trail of blue dust remained Stanislav gently tugged on Abril's sleeve. "I should probably tell you the story, da? There is a lot more involved here than what it may seem." He said as h picked up the papers.

I helped him shuffle the papers and said "yeah I think that would be for the best, I have a free period so we can head to the library." I offered "But no matter what, your his brother you can't let him treat you like that" I said

[>>Moved.]

Stanislav nodded in agreement. He too was blessed with a free period, so he headed towards the library with her. He smiled sadly and said, "I signed up for all of it for him, not for me. Actually, it was his reaction that I was counting on. It'll make sense soon- I swear."

"It better, because this is getting more interesting by the second" i said curious

[>>Moved.]

Stanislav walked inside and set his things down at a table, pulling a chair out for Abril before sitting down himself. "So." He said, appearing thoughtful as he came up with a way to start the story, "That clan I told you we came from. As I said, we lived in the woodland of Northern Ukraine. They were always very... Old fashioned. Clothes were spun by hand, we were only to stay between the Pripyat and the Dnieper, and we had way too many traditions to count. Because they stuck so close to their roots and refused to move, our homes were destroyed when humans built cities on that land." He paused, trying to think of where to go from there.

when stanislav starting telling the story i was shocked and heart broken that his home was gone i couldn't even reply
