"You're so boring" the voices teased "All you do is draw, you're lame" they teased, he could almost feel the hands shoving him, as if they were real...the memory as vivid as the day it'd happened, he was left on his butt in the corridor, alone...
He wanted to cry, he wanted to cry more than anything else in the world...but he couldn't...it was only a dream, but he remembered how he couldn't muster a single tear as his only friends abandoned him...he felt so empty
"See you around, Loser" they taunted, walking away, one of them stuck a head back around the corner for a second, adding "Or maybe we won't, you may as well not even exist"
Joe sat up on the couch, his fists clenched tightly "Some friends they were..." he grumbles, making his way to the bedroom, opening the door and looking at the bed, he hadn't slept there in a long time, he'd usually come home, eat and go to bed...he didn't want to be awake any longer than was needed after all, and walking to his room and needing to make a bed was too much effort, so he'd started to just sleep on the couch instead.
Making his way to the bed he sat on it's edge, the thin layer of dust on the sheets telling him it'd been quite some time since he was last even in this room, he sighed and shook the sheets, the dust filling the air with an odd beauty, the molts dancing in the air, he opened the window and fanned the dust away, making the bed and slowly crawling into it, he hugged the sheets tightly and closed his eyes, he couldn't stop thinking about Dani, she was so kind to him...the only other student who knew him was Kira, and he terrorized Joe constantly, it was nice to know someone who...for all he knew..loved him
He lets out a soft sigh and hugs the sheets to his chest, humming quietly
