The mask hides

Pt.7 long day

Travis pov
"So what you doing now?" He sigh as he held the now probably warm ice pack to his head "field trip.." "I thought you like field trips and haven't you and Larry hyping this one up?" He gave a soft laugh pushing me around "Yeah, Larry was really happy to know we finally got one after sophomore year, but with the way today been going I'm not sure if I want to go, I mean nature is nice but do I really want all the way out near the falls when my head is throbbing like this.." "I guess you're not wrong, you can just lay in the back of the bus and listen to your music?" "Yeah but I usually sit with larry and we don't really talk much through out the day, and you know him" "talker?" "Yep" I lean on the locker as he grabs his bag and put what he needs into it "well you can sit with me I bet Larry would understand that your not feeling good" "yeah but it Larry where talking about, and he hatesss you" "well we both know that.."

As he shut his locker the announcement came on the loud speaker "who ever is going to the nockvile falls felid trip please go to the lobby now" "guess that's us then" as we when to the lobby sal immediately saw Larry and went to him as I looked Larry looked concerned now seeing that sal didn't have his bandage on or a ice pack I looked like sal was trying to reassure him that he was fine having him clearly not be as I looked over I sighed just looking down to my phone we where going back to where I didn't exist putting my headphones in I couldn't help but shake my head sal was clearly okay being with me but yet he wasn't? It made no sense "trav!" I go to look up it was sal he had a smile well what seemed like one he was signalling me over I took my headphones off and when over "Larry, Travis. Travis, larry" I tried to smile at him but I was so.. awkward my bright smile of my braces didn't help but just make it more awkward Larry nodded seeing that he was in fact acknowledging me for what it was.
