vi; pound town.

dani hated school. this was a well known fact. she hated how the classes droned on, how the public schooling system cared more about grades than teaching and the wellbeing of their students, and most of all—she hated the dress code and how they made girls wear someone's lost dirty shirt, just because their cleavage was showing.

simon dropped the large container of lost and found clothes. the bright ugly pieces of clothing made dani grimace as everyone searched through the articles of clothing.
dani let out a sigh, dropping to her knees and searching through the pile along with the others. dani tried her best to find clothes that weren't a complete eyesore, she didn't even want to be here. she wanted to go home, "all right, we have to decontaminate," josh told the group as he picked up mix-matched clothes of his own "you can't have any of sam's blood on you." he strictly told them, as if sam was dropping blood on all of them.

dani picked up a long black and red striped sweater, it wasn't hideous, however it wasn't the best looking sweater either. a light sigh left her lips. she was going to be wearing someone elses clothing, and she wasn't even gonna look good doing it.
"well," sam pursed her lips into a thin line "not much i can do about that." she crossed her arms over her chest and turned to walk away, deena following close after.

"deena!" josh looked up at his sister "you have to get cleaned too! not a single drop, okay?" he told his older sister, who stood quiet as she followed sam down the hall.
"rub-a-dub-dub time!" simon commented as he entered the boys bathroom.
dani groaned loudly, staring at a size tag on the best looking jeans in the box. the number on it two sizes small from dani's size "they have no pants my size! these are all too small!" she complained, searching through the bin. dani turned to look up at kate, who only stared at her friend on the floor.
josh stopped at the boys bathroom door and stared down at dani along with kate, both of which held a blank expression on their face.
"what does that mean?" kate asked, holding her choice of clothes against her chest.

dani let out a soft sigh "i'm gonna go see if theres anymore pants." she told her friend, dropping the sweater in her hands before she turned around and started walking toward the closest lost and found.
"be safe!" dani heard josh call out to her. dani raised a hand, letting the boy know he was heard as she turned the corner and back toward the stairwell.

dani searched high and low through both of the lost and found bins, searching for any type of pants. jeans or sweats, she didn't care.
she picked up light washed jeans and grumpily checked the size tag. she rolled her eyes at the number "whatever," she mumbled "this'll do." she picked up the slightly larger jeans and started walking back toward the bathrooms.

dani picked up the sweater she left and placed a hand on the girls bathroom pushing the door open, ready to join kate and get dressed.
"make sure my back is clean." she heard kate mutter. dani looked over to the spray painted stalls, one of which closed. she wondered who kate harbored in there.

her chest started to ache at the thought of simon and kate in the stall. helping clean the other and get dressed.
dani turned around and walked out of the girls bathroom. she sucked in a breath, calling herself ridiculous over and over again in her head.
simon had already walked into the boys bathroom when dani walked away.
