Jace was a boy who tended to get into trouble, he didn't really care about getting into trouble, it's not as if he walked around thinking of ways to piss the teachers off and get into some sort of punishment, just for the reason of getting into trouble and being entitled a troublemaker. He didn't, trouble just seemed to come upon him. But today he was working hard on not getting into trouble, so he'd grabbed a book, one of his favourites Ranger's Apprentice, and sat against the think trunk on an oak tree on campus, thinking that no sort of trouble would be lurking in the bright midday sun. As he lost himself in the words and pages of the book, his eyes roaming over the crisp paper. The book was old, and he found himself being careful with turning the pages. His mother had loved book, loved everything about them, and so he knew where his love came from. The seventeen year old had also inherited his looks from his mother, thankfully getting nothing of his father in his appearance, for then he would hardly be able to look at his own reflection without wanting to throw something. The day was too sunny and bright to think of things like his father, so he focused again on the book.
He'd seen Alleara reading this book last Christmas, reading it intensely as if she were trapped in the story, and that had joyed him, he'd been telling her to read it for a long time and each times she'd said that she wouldn't like it. He'd laughed and walked into the room and she'd looked up at him, looking as if he'd court her red-handed. Now, as sat on the soft grass, his legs stretched out in front of him, he couldn't seem to merge into the story. He looked up and around himself. The grounds were quiet here, trees colouring most of the campus, and only few student spotted around, reading, talking, studying or just doing what ever, the sky over head was cloudless and the sun shone straight down, making the grass glow a bright green. The teenager couldn't see the Durmstrang Castle from where he sat, unless he twisted around to look in the other direction, and further down the campus was the lake. Jace didn't feeling like moving, he knew that he should probably be studying, but he never did. He'd just work his was through exams and tests, it was quite easy. He contemplated going to look for Alleara, but decided against it thinking that she would probably want to be alone seeming as it was the anniversary of her parents car accident. So, he just sat there, his book discarded on his lap, and stared at nothing.
The teenager didn't much like to be bored, but he was enjoying the quiet and shade too much to go inside. He sat, thinking, for a moment before deciding to go down to the lake. After sliding the book into his back, he set of down the hill, throw the thick shroud of trees to the lake. As he walked into the enclosed forest of trees towards the lake, his eyes glanced over the sunlight flittering through the leaves and the vines twinning up the tree trunks and the thick roots which peeked up from the ground.
The lake was wide, flowing so far that he could only see the small line of green on the other side. It was blue-green and flat like a mirror, and Jace was too bored for perfection, so, bending down and picking a stone from the ground, he threw it and watched as it skipped across the water, making ripples as it went. Jace was use to being alone, he'd spent most of his childhood alone, but today he wished he had someone to share the sunlight with.
