Another fairly annoying morning at school, the thought of this being the last year drifting through his mind. 'Just power through it, it's almost done' repeated like a broken record in his head, followed by the gut wrenching realization that he had no plan for his meaningless future. Soon, the careless, apathetic behavior came through with a yawn. This was no time to question existence, of course, any other time but now. The math teacher had gotten mad after he left his homework in his mess of a locker, this didn't happen often but that didn't seem to matter to the teachers anger issues.
With sudden loud noises, Declan opened his locker and dug through the menacing amount of shit and papers piled up at the bottom of it. He couldn't even remember what he was looking for since he never wrote the date on anything but once some text books and binders fell out, he realized that he never even did the homework assigned. Swiftly, he tossed it all back inside and shoved the door closed, lock clicking loudly throughout the dead hallways- well mostly dead. Someone could be heard crying in the washrooms and weird history video played from an open classroom, something about how our opinions matter.
A hefty scoff escaped him while turning back the other way. He could hear the laces to his shoes hitting each other and assumed he should tie them before he fell flat on his face like any other time.
Of course, just as Declan was about to stop, he tripped.
Almost right onto his face.
"Ugh." As he was dusting off his plaid shirt, footsteps approached him and he assumed it was a staff member about to ask if he was okay...or yell at him to get back to class.
"Are you alright?" A shy voice spoke behind Declan, offering a hand to help him up.
The girl had long blonde hair, so blonde and so long it almost seemed fake. Yet that wasn't the strangest part of her. You couldn't miss her, not even Declan's selective sight could. Her clothes were pink and frilly, overly done, boots that reached her knees, thigh highs that-
"Hey?" She was waiting for a response, deep blue eyes staring into his empty soul.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Refusing her hand, he quickly tied both laces and stood up, ready to walk back to class.
"I'm Mallory." It was as if going ignored didn't even bother her. She kept staring, waiting for some kind of response from his confused glare.
"Oh, uh..." Just before he could say more, a few people in the hall snickered loudly at them, well, probably Mallory if anything. "Declan." He scrambled to make more sense. "I-I'm Declan."
The smile on Mallory's face went wide but kept its innocent charm. "I'm new here, do you think you could show a cute girl like me around?"
"No....." Declan trailed off, "Uhh...I'm in the middle of class...."
"Oh! So at lunch then?" Exclaimed Mallory, bringing her hands together at her chest with a small hop.
"W-What?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Zoey walking down the hall and they locked eyes.....
