Under The Mask. [Sal X Travis]

Chapter 1: First day of hell

Everyone has their opinions on school. People hate it, people love it. People just feel meh about it. But not for Travis. To him, it was like hell. A Hell which only to survive is by learning. But as time went on, Travis manage to get through it. It was going to be the first day of 10th grade. Travis was going to survive another hell of a year.
Sal fisher on the other hand, its normal for going to school. School is school to him. Its like a free time away from the Addison's Apartment. After dealing with some crazy things. Sal could at least get some time away from his dad. The first one to wake up in the morning was Travis.

[Travis' POV]
"Ugh..." I woke up with a sunlight gleaming down at me from my window. 'Guess my mom came in and opened my blinds. What time is it?' I thought and looked over at my alarm clock on my night stand next to my bed.
'6:34 a.m. School starts at 8..right?' As I get up from my bed and stretched. I walked off over to my closet and took out a purple sweater. And I opened my drawer filled with pants and shorts. I took out a pair of blue shorts. I then changed out of my pajamas into my school outfit for the day. I walked to my door and was about to leave my room. I then remembered to bring my necklace. It had a cross on it.
'My dad would kill me if I didn't take it' I then walked over to my nightstand which had my necklace on it. I took it and put it on.

I then left my room, went down stairs and by the smell of it, it smelled like my mom made pancakes. My dad was already at the table waiting. And my mom was almost done with the pancakes. I went at the dinner table and sat down in my chair. How the dinner table was arranged was that my dad was sitting on my left side so he could look at my mom while she was cooking.

-not in a dirty way,get your mind out of the gutter you nasty b@sters.-

My mom sat on my right side. The pancakes were done about 3 minutes after I sat down. They looked perfectly cooked. Inside and out.
As my mom sat down my dad then put his hands together and prayed. My mom and I then joined. We say our prayer, then ending it with an "amen". We then picked up our forks and ate our pancakes. My dad was eating his, with a slice of butter on it and syrup. My mom was having hers as the same as my dad.  I had mine plain.
Yes, weird to have it plain but I don't know what it was I was feeling. Didn't feel hungry. I guess was nervous for the first day of school? No, that couldn't be it.
"I got your bag all ready up for your first day, you excited hun?" my mom asked. I looked up at her,
"huh? Oh thanks mom. And yeah." No I wasn't. If I was I would've been jumping all excited like I always did back when I was a 2nd grader. But not this time.

My dad then joined in and said "when does your school start again?" I looked at him, away from my pancakes,
"it starts at 8:30." I said.
'Seems kinda early if you ask me.' I thought and ate my pancakes again.
"Okay, and what time does it end?" I was still eating my pancakes but swallowed before answering,
"I think its 2:30." My dad then sighed. Not a good sigh though.
"I won't be home by then. I go to work at 1 today and I won't be home until 8." My mother then said "I leave at 2 but I won't be home until 8:30. Its the special event today." I was confused.
'What special event?'
"Oh right that" my dad said. I looked at my mom,
"what special event?" My mom tried to say something but my dad barged into the conversation,
"thats none of your business Travis. Its only your mothers business, got it?" I looked at my dad.
"Yes sir." I sighed out. 'Jeez I was just curious. No need to snap at me.'
"May I be excuse from the table please?" I asked my dad. I was finished with my pancakes.
"Go. Now you have at least an hour till your school starts. You better be back before us, got it" my dad said in a stricted voice.
"Yes sir, I will be back before you and mom get back." I had to walk to school. Luckily, we live 10 minutes away from it. I went to the front door. I slid off my slippers and put on my green convers.

Rule 1: don't wear outside shoes inside the house.
I then grabbed my bag, which was next to the shoe rack. I opened the door and left. I walked to school with a nice weather going on.
'I wonder who im going to see at school today.'

< Time Skip: at the school >
I went into the office of the school because we were supposed to get out papers there. Our classes, our time schedules and extra supplies if needed.

I walked out of the office then looked at a paper in my hand. My locker was number 244 on the right side. Which was next to the doors to the lunch room. I looked inside the windows of the lunch room.
'Wow, alot of people like the school lunch. Be surprised if anyone even eats it all.' I then went to my locker, and opened it. I set my bag in there and looked at my schedule.
'Okay, seems like history is my first class. Total of 8 classes. Being at least 45 minutes. Lunch was... 33 minutes. Damn, last year, it was 40 minutes. Wonder why they changed it.'
I looked at my schedule and knew which class I had to go to. As I grabbed a few things from my locker I needed for my history class. As soon as I closed my locker and turned around.
'20 minutes till class starts. Guess that leaves some free time-', suddenly I hear a familiar voice. "Its not as bad once you do it. Its like the forbidden dip for spice." Then another familiar voice speaks.
"Dude, no. I don't even know why you even did it. I mean, I would try it...if you didn't make is sound disgusting." I looked and saw...Sal and Larry. Dumb and dumber. Tall and short. Y'know, the type of duo you could see that goes around the school as the 'well known emo duo.' You get what I mean.
But wow, I guess they are the first people I know and see. I turn away from them and walked down the hallway. Which was where my class was.
'this is for sure gonna be hell.'

[ Sal's POV ]
Me and Larry were chatting about this weird combination snack. It was takis dipped in frosting. It sounded disgusting but I never know until I tried it.

( Fun fact- I try this once, it was good. Ngl. It was for an experiment okay? Okay maybe not...anyway.)

Larry kept on saying it was good and convince me trying it. I wasn't going to because it sounded disgusting still.

As we walked through the school doors everyone was at their lockers and people were in the lunch room. And some people outside.
"Its not as bad once you do it. Its like the forbidden dip for spice," Larry said as we were passing the lunch room windows.
"You gotta try it dude," Larry added on,
"Dude, no, I don't even know why you even did it. I mean, I would try it...if you didn't make is sound disgusting!" I said back to him. For sure I was going to try it but on my own time. When I don't feel disgusted.

As I looked away, rolling my eyes away from Larry I saw...someone familiar. 'Blond hair, purple striped sweater...yep.'  Travis.'This early to go to class, huh trav?' I thought to myself as I watched Travis go to what seemed like his first class. I wanted to say hi to him but I didn't. He was walking away too fast. Probably trying to avoid me.
I understand that. Me and Larry continued to talk while we tried to look for our lockers. My locker was on the left side, Larry was on the right. My locker was 122 and Larry was 230. As we got our stuff ready for our first class, we talked a little more.

<Time skip: 10 minutes before class starts>

"Hey dude, whats your first class?" Larry asked me.
"History. What about yours?" I said as I started to walk to my class.
"Damn, I have math. You're lucky." I chuckled. I can see why. His brain doesn't normally work in the morning. So...sucks for him.
"See you at lunch" I heard Larry said as we were walking to our clases.
"Okay, see you later." I waved to Larry and walked to my class. As I entered I was greeted by the teacher. Turns out, we have assigned seats. For one month we have assigned seats. After that month ends we chose our seats. Dumb, I know but I don't make the rules.
"Okay, you'll sit next to Travis Phelps." I looked and saw Travis, looking out the window. We were in the back. Welp...this is gonna be great.
