"We are not friend!"

He took a sit next to me and started a conversation. "Hey there,what is your name?" he asked politely. I replied, "Zihla, but my family and friends call me Zi. And u? What is your name?"

"My name is Daven, I sometimes go by Dave." Daven said with a smile on his face. After sometime loud mummering was heard around the cafeteria. I was basically people criticising red eyes(me) and silver eyes(Daven) for being on the same table.

I got so irritated that I stood up and smacked the table, thank God I was looking down or everyone in that cafeteria would be dead. I was fuming I bet people could see the smoke coming out of my body, but before I could start talking I heard someone talking.

It was none other than Daven. He was standing on top of the table yelling for people to shut up. I calmed down after hearing him telling people to shut up. After he had gotten the cafeteria to keep quiet he started his speech.

"What is this some kind of competition, to see which I colour is the best! I guess, "don't mix with the competition"! Well guess what this isn't a competition and even if it was, it wouldn't be fair. How do you think people like me feel. You think I feel unique right now? You think I feel special right now? Well guess what I don't! Infact, I feel more of an outcast than anything. Tell me how did you feel when people separated you from themselves after your eye colour changed. This stupid rule that you guys made is the worst. I can not kill you because I am with you and have a different eye colour......"

I was admiring his bravery and handsomeness, but that was until he said one sentence. I didn't want to kill anyone especially him, he would have been my first friend. So I thought well and hard and I decided to distance myself from him.

That is when I felt Daven tap my shoulder, " Hey Zi!" he called out. I quickly stood up removing his hand from my shoulder. I looked at him and trying my best not to show any sadness told him, " It is Zihla for you, we are not close."

He took a few steps back, it seemed like I broke him. I felt so sorry for him, but this was for his own good. I didn't want to kill him, but even after that he still wanted to be friend, but I kept ignoring him.

That was until one day when I was walking home. I heard a cat mewing from a dark alley way, it seemed like the cat was in pain, so I went into the dark alley. There I saw three men hitting a kitten with rocks. I went towards them for a clear vision of who the men were.

Turns out they were serial killers and they had seen me. "Look here we have a kid and not only that it is a red eyes kid, what will happen if we sell her I bet we can get a lot of cash." said one guy.
