'Ignorance.' [An OC story.]

~Hurtful Existence~ [Ch.1]

[TW: bullying,transphobia,injury,animal death,blood]

Dotty yawns,waking up. Just as he thought,his arm was healed. Like nothing happened.

He quickly gets up,does his morning routine,before he heads downstairs for breakfast

"...hm...you look tired. Everything ok dot?" Lemon asks,crouching to their level

"I'm fine...just a bit of a rough night!" They say with forced cheerfulness

"if you say so..." they reply,ruffling xyr hair before they decide to leave without breakfast. They didn't need it! They were sure of it.

Later,they end up at school, greeting bow 

"hey bow! Whatcha up to?" He asks,as she turns to look at him with a smile

"looking at these pillbugs!" they replied,pointing to the little pillbugs that were rolling around and skittering

"oooh!" Dotty and bow crouch down to look at the small shiny black bugs,as they rolly-polly all over the pavement,before they watch a foot come down and stomp on the pair of bugs,a soft crunch following after as they dug their heel into the ground,turning the pillbugs into a pile of blood and mush.

"hey! Why did you do that?!" Dotty exclaimed,as bow was sad about the bugs' death for a second,as dotty looks up to who did it...

oh.

that stupid smug grin of his meets dotty's face as he says "what? Upset? It's just some stupid bugs. Come to think of it,you both got bug-like features...freaks." He shoved dotty,as bow shrinks back slightly,as dotty pushed her behind themself. "What do you want, chip?"

Now,chip isn't a potato chip or computer chip,he's called that because hes a tooth with a chip in it.

"All I want is to remind you where you stand in this school, yknow? Cause you two pipsqueaks are so easy to make fun of." He replies,snickering "I'll see you two later." He replies,before walking away.

Dotty stands up,dusting xemself off,before helping bow up

"you ok...?" he asks

"Oh I'm fine! It's not a big deal!" She replied,waving it off "I'll see you in class dotty!" She says,before quickly walking away.

"..." He sighs. She always does that. Maybe as a coping mechanism. She says she's alright,but you can't lie to a liar,can you?

He goes to his class,sitting down,before he noticed his desk was vandalised.

"oh..." He stares at the derogatory words on his desk,before quickly wiping it off before anyone else got into class,putting on a smile. Everyone else piled in and went to their seats a few seconds after,the teacher Ms.Wine Bottle going to the front and taking attendence,before she starts to teach.

Dotty wasn't really paying attention but they were trying their best to. Drill sat next to them in class,which dotty didn't mind,they were pretty cool and they liked hanging out with them,even if they didn't that often. 

"Hey,drilly..." dotty whispers to them as the teacher was distracted

"hm?" they turn to look at xem,as xe ask "Did you get those notes I asked for...?" xe say politely
