September 30th - Morning / Wednesday

    Tord woke up to the irritating sound of his blaring alarm clock. Having smacked the snooze button many times already, he was still in bed and not wanting to get up for school. Specifically, high school. Possibly the worst years of a living being's life. He groaned, turning the alarm off and finally getting up. "Ugh, what time is it...?" he whispered to himself, gazing at the neon glowing numbers on his clock. The bright numbers read "7:32". With realization sinking in, he saw that he was late... again. Tord immediately threw his covers to the side and rushed to get dressed. " I told you to get up and ready!" his father yelled through the wooden door. Tord fell over trying to get his socks on," Ack! Sorry, dad!" His father groaned in annoyance and trudged into the living room to go doze off. Once he got the last required article of clothing on, he didn't even bother buttoning up his blazer as he dashed out the door with his backpack at full speed.

"Four minutes to get breakfast, brush hair and teeth, and make sure I have everything in my backpack... That's not enough time!" he whispered to himself once again. He threw his backpack on the ground, not hard enough to break his school laptop though. He searched and rummaged through every pocket to see that he, in fact, has everything. Tord gave up on breakfast along with everything else and just sprinted, violin case in hand and backpack on his back. He looked up from the sidewalk he was now running on, his shoes making a constant sound of 'clomp clomp clomp clomp!'. He squinted to see his bus pull up at the corner, halting to a screeching stop, and its doors deliberately opening. Tord, who was completely out of breath, decided to run faster, noticing that a boy who was carrying a band instrument also running to catch the bus. Once they had got to the corner, the band kid and Tord both limped into the bus, the bus driver slightly chuckling," Late again, boys?" Tord answered with a tiny nod and the other boy neither said nor did nothing of the matter. The boy seemed to be obsessed with the color blue by assuming it from his navy blue coat and cobalt blue knitted hat. Having seen him many times before, Tord was really nervous to talk to him. He was always known to act cold and pretty rude (Tom, stop being sO RU-), so he just kept the thoughts of conversing with the other male to himself.

After what seemed like a very long bus ride, they finally arrived at school with the kids pouring in and the chatter increasingly becoming louder. As Tord boarded off of the bus, he felt someone shove him to the side with a large impact. Without thinking, he spoke," Hey! Watch where you're going, tallass!" The band kid from before kept walking and responded without turning around," Pfft, shut up, tiny temper." The nickname made Tord growl out," Don't tell me to shut up you... you...meanie!!" The blue kid chuckled rudely," Wow, that's all you've got? Go back to elementary school, short-stack" Blue turned around to face the fuming male, smirking slyly," Have fun trying to figure out 2 x 2, kid." He turned back around and speed-walked right off to the building just as the bell had rung. Tord groaned in response, hauling both his instrument and his book bag to the school entrance. Once he entered, there were posters posted everywhere about cross country meets, prom coming up this spring, etc. Tord then walked off to the orchestra room to drop off his violin. Jon was there as well, his bass propped up on the bass stand next to the cellos.

"Heya, Tord! How've you been? I bet your break was eventful!" Jon exclaimed joyfully. Tord smiled softly and shook his head," It wasn't that great actually, lots of fights between my parents." Jon frowned at the response," Aw, sorry about that, Tord. I hope things get better soon-" Jon was cut off by Eduardo," Aye, Jon, I need help getting these cellos to the auditorium!" Jon walked over to Eduardo and helped him out," Bye, Tord! See ya in 7th hour!" Tord waved, a bit confused as to why they were carrying cellos to the auditorium. He shrugged, walking out of the room and to his locker. In the middle of his walking process, a brunette with chocolate brown hair approached the male. " Soooo, how was fall break?" the brunette had asked Tord. " Edd, you know how it was, you came over one day and I told you." Tord looked over to the brunette who went by Edd with a neutral expression. Edd mouthed an "oh" and rubbed the back of his neck, laughing nervously, "Ah, I uh kinda forgot about that sorry..." Tord nodded and brushed it off to show that it wasn't that much of a deal. The buzzer went off and the principal's voice was heard," Good morning, students. After unpacking, please head to the main auditorium for an important speech led by the music teachers." Tord looked over to Edd to see that he was gone. 'Oh yeah, his locker is three hallways down from the bus entrance', he thought, heading over to his locker to get ready for the "big speech".

Tord sat in the fourth row from the front, not noticing that the blue boy from earlier was right behind him. The lights dimmed and the orchestra teacher approached the stage with a microphone," Hello, fellow students. Welcome back after fall break, if there's anyone new here I'm Mrs. Ophelia, the orchestra teacher here at FLHS. I have come to inform you that our first ever contest between each extracurricular activity will be held this month on October 29th!" Tord was pretty shocked about this, a contest? Just now? Chatter filled up the room and groaning could also be heard.
