Walking through the halls with shaky legs the first day of school. Sophomore year, but new school. Recently moving in over the summer was hectic enough, now my ears(?) grew numb from the loud chatter of the halls. 

Walking to my locker, whose number I've memorized at least a thousand times, I come across another skeleton, right next to mine. Black jacket, mustard stains, wait mustard? Collar around his neck, an interesting figure. But oddly attractive, and quite hot, I have to admit. But someone like him is out of my league. 

I sigh, going to my locker, opening it. As if on cue, I get slammed against the door, hissing in pain. "Watch where you're going, bitch!" They call out, as I roll my green eye-sockets. I know better than to give them a reaction, what they desire. I let out a small sigh. I suppose there's always going to be mild bullying everywhere. 

Grabbing my things, I go to my first period class. Astronomy, easy enough. Science is my strong-suit. There, I meet a skeleton named Outer, a nice fella. He seemed to have a great interest in this topic. He was a kind soul, I have to admit that. Though he tried to crack jokes here and there, the main class clown was Sans, or as everyone called him, Classic, who could make even the biggest and baddest laugh and smile. He could brighten anyone's mood. 

Anyone, except the one kid in the back. His name was Nightmare, as I recalled. He looked just like what his name stated: A terrifying Nightmare come true. Covered in black sludge, with four large (hentai) tentacles sprouting out of his back. Even thinking of him makes me shudder in fear. But I've observed that he enjoys that reaction, so I stay emotionless and cool whenever near him. Can't let him win, can I?

The hallways once again fill with chatter. Though one large conversation, spread around to many individuals and groups, was a deadly disease, Hanahaki. But I believe that it's a myth? Coughing up blood and flower petals because of one-sided love? Ha. That only exists in fanfiction. (Boi-)

My classes go on, as break finally approaches. Many people walk outside, as I do as well. Finding a nice, shady area under a tree, I rest, until I heard voices approaching. Sitting up, I realize that there's a large group behind me. Ahh, oh well. If they ask me to leave, I will, simple as that. I won't fight. Useless to do that anyways. 

But their conversation strikes interest. All seeming bored, they started talking about the rumors of Hanahaki, and all their opinions on it. It was quite interesting, so I listened in, turning my music down to hear their words. 

All unique, though most had a similar idea: That it's pointless, and they're not going to love anyone anyways. But judging by their tone, they've already found a love interest. Heh, but whatever. They don't seem like the people that find it hard for their crush to like them back. Unlike me. But whatever, seems like I always get the short end of the stick. If I even get one. 

Break ends, and everyone scrambles inside. I stay for a bit longer, waiting out the hoard of students so I don't get drowned in people and monsters. After the main hoard left, I got up, only to get tripped and fall in the face. The group, presumably the ones sitting on the other side of the tree, chuckle. 

I groan slightly in pain, getting up only to get kicked back down. They call me names, snatch my things and throw it around. Ya know, the usual shit all the pathetic bullies do. I go through it all, a long and painstaking process, but they finally leave. All except one. The skeleton that I saw earlier. Hottest one here, can't deny, but though still probably going to kick me even more. 

I sigh, before weakly saying, "Just go ahead, t-this is getting boring." He looks at me confused. 

"I ain't gonna hurt ya." He lets out a toothy grin, as I feel a bit of blush rise to my cheeks. Damn his voice is hot as hell. He chuckles with his deep voice, and helps me by picking up my stuff for me, as I get up and rub my bloody nose. Damn that shit hurts. He helps me up, and luckily takes me to the nurse. 

First day, first trip to the nurse. Most definitely not the last, though. I know that for sure. But oh well. I'm used to it...
