The class of second graders talked and laughed loudly as they filed in for another day of school in the Glorious City of Fortuna. Ms. Crabtree came in and got the classes attention. The students looked at her with no interest, which she ignored. “Ok class. Before we start I’d like to make an announcement. We have a new student, so I’d like you all to give a warm welcome to Nero.” A small boy with white hair walked in with his head down. He stood by the teacher and stared at his feet. Many kids in the class snickered at him.
He heard the kids whispering things like, “What’s with his hair? What kind of name is Nero?” One kid raised his hand and shouted, “Are you an albino?”
“JERRY SHUT UP!” The teacher yelled before turning back to Nero. “Okay sweetie, why don’t you have a seat next to Kyrie?” Nero sat down and blushed when Kyrie smiled at him.
Jerry raised his hand and shouted, “What kind of name is Nero?”
“JERRY SHUT UP!” Ms. Crabtree yelled.
“What?” Jerry shrugged.
“It’s not Nero’s fault his parents’ named him after the Roman emperor that played the violin while Christians were burning!”Everyone is the class stared at her with blank faces. “Oh, uh…never mind.” The teacher cleared her throat. “Now then can anyone tell the class what we talked about yesterday?”
Jerry’s hand shot up. Ms. Crabtree rubbed her temple. “I know I’m going to regret this, but…go ahead.”
“Sparda.”
The kid sitting next to him muttered “Yeah, no joke.” under his breath.
Nero shyly raised his hand. “Um…who’s that?”
“Who’s who, sweetie?” the teacher asked.
“Sparda.”
The class was dead silent and Nero sank into his chair.
--------------------------
After school all the children pushed and shoved out the door. Kyrie stood outside waiting for the strange boy with white hair to come out. When he finally did she went up to him. “Hi.” She said. Nero glanced at her before staring back at the ground. “You wanna walk me home?” she asked hopefully.
“Okay…”
They started walking both staring at their feet. “Um…” Nero started. “You want me to hold your books?”
“Uh…” Kyrie looked at him only to have him blush and look at the ground again. He put his hands in his pocket. “So…Where are you from?” she asked him, but he didn’t answer. “Where do you live?”
“Around.”
“Around? What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing.”
They reached Kyrie’s house and there was a teenage boy sitting on the porch. “Hi, Credo!” she waved to her brother. He smiled at his sister and then eyed Nero. Kyrie turned to Nero “Thanks for walking me home. Do you wanna come in?”
“Um…okay.”
They went in and dropped their bags on the ground. They sat down on the couch and put the TV on. “This is Channel 6 Sparda News and now the six o’clock news at four!”
Nero sank into his seat. “Uh, Kyrie…can I ask you something?”
“Sure.” She smiled at him and he blushed.
“Uh…who is Sparda?”
“You’re not from here are you?”
“No…”
“That’s okay! Anyway he’s our God.”
“Ooooh. Okay that makes sense.”
“Yeah, he saved everyone from demons. In fact,” Kyrie looked at Nero closely, “you kind of look like him.”
Nero blushed again only this time his entire face turned red. Right at that moment Credo came in. “Kyrie, I’m going out for awhile. You two gonna be alright?”
They nodded. Credo waved as he walked outside. Kyrie and Nero stared at each other. “Um...” Kyrie started. “What do you want to do?”
“I don’t know. What’s there to do?”
“Um…Jerry says prank calls are fun.”
“What’s that?”
“You dial a random number and when someone answers you say something random.”
“Okay…” They went to the phone and Kyrie starting dialing. They giggled as it rang. A male’s voice spoke on the other end.
“Devil May Cry.”
Kyrie couldn’t stop giggling, so Nero took the phone and said, “This is Pizza Hut!”
“What? I usually call you.” The man on the other end said. “Well let’s see. I’ll have two giant pepperonis and…do you guys still do that fifty cents chicken wings? It’s Wednesday right? Alright I’ll have a dozen wings and…hang on, TRISH!”
The two kids heard a woman’s voice answer. “What?”
“Pizza Hut, want anything?” the man replied.
“Are they the one’s with the brownies?”
“No that’s Domino’s.”
“Oh…well never mind.”
The man redirected his attention to the phone. “Alright that’s it. The address is-“
Nero slammed the phone down and the two burst out laughing. “What was that?” Nero cried.
“I have no idea!” Kyrie replied. “This is fun! Let’s do it again.”
They hit redial and this time Kyrie spoke. “This is Domino’s.”
“Oh good.” The man on the other end said. “Trish wants brownies.”
They hung up again and fell over laughing.
--------------------------
The next day at recess Jerry came over to the swing set where Nero was pushing Kyrie. “Not so high, Nero!” Kyrie yelled, but Nero just laughed.
“Hey!” Jerry called to them.
“Hi, Jerry.” They both answered.
“Hey, Nero, why were you sleeping in an alleyway last night? Folks hate you?”
“What!?” Kyrie yelled. Nero stopped her sing so she could get off. Kyrie planted her hands on her hips. “You’re homeless!”
“Yeah…” Nero stared at the ground.
“Well not for long! You’re gonna stay with me and Credo!”
“What? Oh no I-“
“Stop it! You’re staying with us and that’s final!”
“Okay…” Nero blushed.
Jerry, having lost interest, wandered away. Nero and Kyrie stared at one other smiling. When the bell to signal the end of recess rang the two started walking back into the school. Nero looked at Kyrie’s hands at her side. He slipped his finger’s into hers. Kyrie smiled at him and he didn’t blush.
