A letter came in the mail the next day. Virgil was happy. He wasn't usually happy, so today was a good day. He ran up to his room after retrieving the letter from the mailbox. When he got a good look at the envelope, he saw it had small golden details. Jesus. He thought.

     Virgil went to school the next day. He was still 16. Time went slower as the day progressed. He thought it wasn't going to get  any better, until they announced a new stupid was joining the class. How unrealistic. The person was seated next to Virgil, since his seat was the last spot free. So now Virgil was stuck with an annoying stranger. He was stressed out, since his anxiety went through the roof. He felt as it was ironic, since he was seated alone. His teacher forgot him so they had to bring in another desk, and since this classroom doubled as a science lab, they had to get a table for two people. He was a rut on a smooth road. Not meant to be there, but he was. 
        After that class the boy was following Virgil, since it was lunch the male wanted to be Virgil's friend; since he looked interesting and had a mysterious vibe to them. Virgil felt the same as the male did about him. Virgil went to his usual spot, near the back and one of the few smaller tables. Virgil jumped slightly as the male said hi. Virgil shot back a quieter hey back.
