You're a 16 year old girl who just moved to Addison Apartments because your mother who originally had custody over you passed away. You originally lived in Australia with your mother, you haven't seen your father in years because he moved to America...
Math was honestly the same. We were supposed to do work however Sal and I just decided to mess around. Lunch arrived and Sal and I ran to the cafeteria. It was bologna day and we both pretended to gag. I chucked a peanut butter sandwich at him which he started eating and I had a nutella sandwich. Larry and Ash approached the table. Ash sat with Sal and Larry sat with me throwing his arm on my shoulders. "Heyyyy where'd you guys get the sandwiches?" Larry asks confused. "Y/N gave me mine. She made them this morning." Sal replies looking over at me. "And you didn't make me one?" He scoffs and takes his arm off me pretending to be mad. I split a piece of my nutella sandwich and handed it to him. "Thankyouuuuu!" He says pulling me into a big hug. I laugh. "You're welcome you lanky pig, I only did it because you're my best friend." "Hey! What about me?" Sal pipes up. "I literally made you a sandwich dude!" I reply giggling.
Art classes starts. Sal, Larry and I are sat on a four person table.

(without the screens, kinda like this.)
Sal and Larry were sitting on one side of the the table and I was sitting in the seat right in front of Sal. The teacher told us to paint a portrait of our biggest fears. Larry seemed very eager, probably because we get to paint and he loves it. Sal seemed a bit more hesitant so I grabbed his hand in a comforting manner in a way of saying. "Hey don't worry." He looks up at me with his piercing blue eyes that sparkle. He lets go and starts painting. I start painting someone sitting alone in the dark with a shadow leaving there side. In case you haven't caught on my fear is being abandoned by people I love, of them leaving me like my mum did in a way... I have bad trust issues and I guess they developed into a fear. I look at Sal's picture and it's of a dog. I look at him confused but decide to ask him about it later. Larry's is a picture of him with a ghostly figure of a man. I wonder who that is?
School ends and we get to take our portraits home. I haven't shown the boys mine. I know they would ask about the meaning behind it and I just know I'd break down. We get to Larry's room and he tells us to show our pictures. Larry shows his first and explains the story. His dad left when he was young. He apparently just vanished. His fear was of losing memory of his father, which made me extremely sad because I could relate. Sal showed the picture of the dog and went into detail about how a dog mauled his face, killing his mother and leaving him with the prosthetic. I was not expecting it but it made me feel really close to Sal. I then turn mine around and the boys seemed confused. "What's it of? Not sounding rude! It's a brilliant picture it's just hard to understand visually I guess." Larry says. "2 weeks before I came to Nockfell my mother passed away from suicide..." Larry seemed shocked. Sal not so much considering I already told him. "This painting was my representation of abandonment and the people I love in my life leaving me..." On the last word I croak. I can feel tears building up and eventually I give up and let them out. Sal pulls me into a hug and I sob into his shirt. I haven't spoken so freely about what happened in so long. It feels refreshing. Hard but nice.
Larry, Sal and I stayed over at Larry's. Larry and Sal took the bed and I got comfy on the floor with an air mattress a pillow and a blanket. I was cozy until Larry put the fan on to go to sleep. I started getting cold. I tried to snuggle up in the blanket as much as possible but it was no use. I sat up and tapped Sal on the back waking him up. Larry was snoozing at this point. "Hm? What's wrong Y/N?" He asks with concern in his voice. His voice was cute tired. "I-it's cold... Do you know where an extra blanket is?" Sal chuckles and hops out of bed going to his bag and pulling out a sweatshirt. He hands it to me and I put it on. It's thick and cozy but I'm still cold. Sal realises this and turns around to make sure Larry is still asleep. He kneels down to my makeshift bed laying down in it. He grabbed onto my waist cuddling me. "Hope you don't mind cuddles." He says with a chuckle. "Lucky for you I love them." I say with a giggle. He squeezes tighter and I instantly feel warm. I fall asleep with ease.
Heyyy I know it's still a little short. I've judged starter back at school from break and I'm still getting used to that and my sleep schedule. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you for Chapter Seven!💚
