Vance's POV:
Ugh, it's Monday again.
I think to myself while getting out of my messy bed, still with a morning face and awful hair.
I mean at least I get to see Bruce at school today. That's probably one of the only good things I can think of right now.
I get dressed and comb my hair in front of the mirror that I have in my room. To be exact the only mirror. I don't usually do that cause I dont like combing my hair but I guess for Bruce I do most stuff I usually don't do.
Then finally I pack my school bag which actually turned out to be pretty heavy.
I eventually walk downstairs and make myself some breakfast.
Scrambled eggs and toast with sone butter on it. Quick and easy.
As I'm taking my jacket off the hanger I remember that I left my headphones upstairs in one of my desk drawers.
I literally love my headphones. They help me through most of the day.
If Bruce is not included.
I arrive upstairs in my room and start searching in my drawers very quickly making a mess looking for my headphones like a troll since I dont really want to be late for school and I without a doubt want to listen to my music while going to school. I search for a few seconds more till I finally found them in the bottom drawer under some random ass movie posters that I got from when going to the cinema I haven't put on my wall yet. I probably won't be doing that until about a year from now.
I run downstairs and take my school bag that I left on the wood floor from when I ran upstairs earlier.
It's about 14 minutes till school starts and as lucky as I am I live near school so it's not going to be any trouble to be there in time and even have some extra time.
At school.
Here I am again. School. Ugh I hate school it's so stupid I mean yeah it sometimes has great people but just why. It's really boring most of the time. I walk in and already people are already talking so loud and I see people bumping into each other.
A little time skip.
It's finally 4th period. I hope to see Bruce again. He's sooooo beautiful.
I walk from the corridor into class and Bruce is not there? Why is Bruce not in school? I know for a fact that he didn't skip, he would never.
Now I'm worried. Is Bruce okay? It's not usual for Bruce to be late but skip or whatever is just on another level? Well right now I can't really do anything but to sit down and study. I think to myself as I'm walking up to my seat not even paying attention to my classmates fooling around.
A few minutes go by as well as the bell finally ringing calming only some of my classmates down a notch. Hardly any seconds slip away and our English teacher Mrs. Jill is still waiting for my class to calm down to eventually start the class.
"Hello class! Today we'll be learning about preposition of time and place. Let me just give you a brief example of what it is before going on to the workbook exercises."
She finally starts speaking.
5 minutes later of boring talking the teacher finally writes what exercises we have to do by the end of the class.
I finish the exercises pretty quickly if I'd say so myself and it was only like 4 exercises but they were still long I guess.
Right now I would be writing little notes to Bruce.
God when is this class going to end. It's one of the most boring classes ever without Bruce here.
I can't stop but wonder where he is.
Maybe he's sick. Yeah, that could be it. He's probably just sick.
I think to myself over and over trying to get the though out of my head that maybe he didn't come to school today cause he didn't want to see me or be seen with me.
But that not really something Bruce would do. At least I believe so.
After class it was lunch and they were serving plain macaroni that wasn't even seasoned well. After the lunchlady put so much food on my plate I went to sit next to my friends. I think I can call them. I sit down and greet everyone.
They have been my friends for a little over a year. They're Billy, Robin, Finney and Griffin. Of course Bruce is my friend too but he isn't in the friend group he is just friends with me, Finn and Robin individually. But the others just know about him. I've been telling them about "us".
God it sounds like were in first grade or something.
"Do you guys know where Bruce is? I've been really worried cause I haven't seen him at school today." I ask them. "Why do you care? You guys boning behind our backs or something?" Robin asks me smirking. Everyone laughs. "Robin ew. Don't say boning. It's gross." "But you didn't deny that you were doing Bruce." Billy looks at me laughing. "Bro. I'm not doing him. I'm just worried. He always comes to school."
"Guys stop. He's actually worried as you guys should be too." Griffin tells me and the others looking worried as well. "Okok, I'm sorry. But I bet it's okay, he's probably just sick or something." Robin says. Billy apologizes and everyone agrees on the saying that hes sick.
We talk for a while more till the school bell rings and we all go apart.
After school.
I walk out of school with a heavy backpack and my right shoulder hurting cause I usually carry my bag on my right shoulder. If I carry it on the both of my shoulders it just feels weird, haven't done that since like the 1-st grade.
I walk for a little towards the road to my house and see Bruce home.
Should I go and check up on him?
I think to myself walking closer to the beautiful white house.
Walking up to their door I notice Bruce's bike on the grass laying down. It looks really bad. A bunch of the bike pieces are bent.
I knock on the tall door and his parents answer. Specifically his mom,
Mrs. Yamada.
"Hello Mrs. Yamada! Do you happen know where Bruce is? He wasn't at school today." I ask his mum. "Oh.. So you haven't heard, you poor boy.." His mother tells me looking sad while frowning. I look back at her confused. "He uhm uh. Bruce got hit with a car while going to school by bike." Mrs. Yamada starts breaking down as well as me.
I thank her for telling me the news and instantly go home basically crying all the way there. Not too much tho. Cause
"Men never cry"
is what my dad used to tell me since I was little. Don't even want to call him dad.
