The mask hides

Pt.6 School

Travis POV
As we got up to the school I couldn't shake the thought of Sal he had been acting so off ever since last night. I know it was probably just the head injury but I was starting to genuinely get worried about him and when I went to look for him in the cafeteria he wasn't even there with Larry! I didn't want to talk to him due to the way Johnson felt about me but there was no other way to even check on him so I grabbed my bag and when to talk to him. Walking to him seemed a bit awkward on my part thought it was necessary as he acknowledged me he gave the coldest look I could have seen on him "heyyy.. Larry.." and he looked to me he seem confused but the cold stare kept on his face. He looked me up and down show how unpleasant he was to see me "have you seen sal?.." he shot me a look show that he couldn't give a care about me and what I thought "why do you can hit him again" "look that was-" he immediately looked with a glare and gave me a answer as he looked away from me to ash "library..said he was going to try catch up on work or something but knowing him he's just sleeping.." "okay- thanks" and I left him there to his lunch It was unpleasant though having the cafeteria and library being on the complete others side of the building but it was worth seeing ask just asleep in a text book "hey..Sal" I nudge him a little.

From the slight nudge I had though it was the library to wake me up for the next class but from waking up to see that it was Travis didn't really please me "got you lunch" he pulled out a small lunch bag and started to pull out a couple things out of it "thanks-.. but I'm good" "but I got-" I cut him off "I'm not looking for bribes now leave me alone" I when back to laying my head down "sal.." he was looking at me funny like I had a cold or something "what?"

He was being so harsh that I couldn't even help but ask "are you-" "no" i didn't even finish my sentence yet he knew what I was going to say, as I when to look at his injury I could see that he had a ice pack on it "head still bothering you?.." "yeah.., it's not like it just hurt I've been have flash all-.." he immediately stopped and just scotched his head closer to my arms "tell me what you mean?." "It's nothing" "it's clearly not nothing." "Well.." he began to slowly pick up his head and explained how he gets the mental flashes he would call a glitch as it was more of that anything "does it affect you much?" "I mean if you put it in that way yeah, it gets worse when I think about my mom or just certain things" "is..that what happened this morning?-" "yeah." He seemed to get more comfortable as I brought around my arm his back, "are you still not hungry?" "I didn't want to be rude but I don't remember much other than what happened this morning and honestly I want to trust it because I know your a good please but it just hard to look on thing the way they are?.." "I get it" after that he just sighed as started to fall asleep again.

The bell rang after the couple minutes we where in there "hey, do you want go see the nurse again to see if you can lay down?" "No I tried that earlier and the nurses are already tired of me" "why?" He immediately gave me a stare of are you kidding me I could see it through in eyes of his mask "righttt-"
