Ink pushed his desk away, its feet scraping against the floor before standing up to grab his things on his table.

It was lunchtime and he decided to fix his locker first, thinking about it his locker is pretty messy. He took his books and made his way outside the classroom. The halls felt warm and magical, simply because the students are messing around with their own magic, especially the sophomores who had recently discovered their powers before camp started. As the magic swirled around him, he starts to feel sick. He continued to stroll through the halls 'til he reached his locker on the same floor he was at.

Opening the door, he groaned at how messy and disturbing his locker was, books and notebooks were unorganized, a lot of crumpled paper on the floor, rotten food that he had forgotten to take home, and pens and pencils scattered. He felt a bit lazy to fix everything but he knew he had to at least make sure it does not look messy. Immediately, he picked up all the pens and pencils on the locker floor and placed them all in a cup that was on a shelf. He piled up all the books and notebooks together and placed it next to the cup. He closed his umbrellas properly before putting it back inside. Lastly, he took the rotten food and closed his locker. He's gonna go find a trash bin to throw it away and get rid of the foul smell.
When he closed his locker, he heard a loud thud just beside his locker. He turned to see who just slammed themself.

"Sup." Fell greeted, sipping his juice in a juice box. "Eugh- what's that smell?"

"Oh, just some rotten food I left inside. Oopsie." Ink shrugged and showed the plastic to Fell. The other just swept it away from his face in disgust. "What's the matter?"

"It's gross!" Fell reacted.

"Not this!" Ink pulled the plastic away. "I meant your sudden appearance."

"Ah well, I'm lonely sooo..." Fell continued to repeat the 'ooo' before speaking again. "Are you mad at me?" He asked, just making sure he's not barging uninvited.

"Why would I be mad at you?" Ink laughed softly. "If anything, you should be mad at me."

"Which I am," Fell responded quickly.

"Oh."

"Kidding." Fell chuckled, receiving a confused chuckle from the other. "Don't sweat it, I'm not mad."

"Then maybe we should hang out? Dream and Blue still hates me. They're the only ones I've got." Ink shrugged at the end. It feels a little lonely to not have anyone to talk to for 3 consecutive days starting from morning til night. He would sometimes just talk to himself on the mirror or try channeling a dead soul just 'cause it's a trend.

"Well, Error's not talking to me too. I guess we can hang out for a while." Fell agreed with a small smile. While their friends are still pushing them away, they thought maybe the both of them could keep each other company.

Ink invited Fell to the field but first he threw his disgusting plastic with rotten food inside. Fell disapproved first, it was lunch time and he's absolutely dying to eat, so he pulled him to the cafeteria and found themselves an extra seat. Ink sat down and waited for Fell to grab his tray, though he wasn't planning to buy his own food. When Fell got back, he placed his tray on the table and sat down. "People can be absolutely rude." Fell muttered.

He scanned his food first before reacting. "Ah, this thing's gross but whatever." He commented then suddenly looking at Ink, noticing that there's no food infront of him. "You're not eating?"
