Backstory : Travis is attending Phoenix drop high and notices many girls he likes, but he has set his eyes and heart towards another who he thinks he loves.
Travis's POV
Oh shoot! It's the first day. I'm gonna be late! *rushes to the shower, takes a shower, gets dressed* Man, I'm already like 20 minutes late ... oh well ... *travis doesn't know that someone is waiting for him at the school* He dashes to the toaster, putting a slice of bread in the toaster, then putting the toasted bread into his mouth, and riding his bike to school.
*arrives at school*
The girl is still waiting...
? : Hey Travis! You're here!
Travis : hiiii? Look lady I can't talk I'm already late, and shouldn't you be in class?
? : W-well yes but I was gonna ask if yo-
Travis : Oh sorry gotta go tell me another time along with your name okay? Bye
? : o-oh ... o-okay *travis is running off and the person whispers to itself*
? : *w-why does no one want to talk to me anymore? *sniffles**
*they headed to class*
Okay I got my schedule ... Let's see ... Room 202 ... No that's room 204 ... AH! There we go! *travis walks into the classroom, and without the teacher noticing, he sneaks inside, finding a seat next to the person that he ran into earlier.
T : W-what?! How did you get here so fast?
? : * doesn't pay attention to whom it is but answers* I have my ways.
T : W-wow ... *he says with impressment*
*principal comes in*
Principal : WHY HALLOOOO EVERYONE ITS ME THE WONDERFUL CHAD BUT YOU CAN CALL ME YOUR PRINCIPAL! SO TODAY ...
*Travis has a conversation with her, the principal is still talking*
T : H-hey ... Listen I'm sorry I couldn't talk earlier. I really wanted to come here without the teacher noticing me
? : *still doesn't pay attention to who it is and what he was saying* Does it look like I care you dingus? Just leave me alone.
T : Dang okay then.
*principal finishes his announcement*
Chad : ... SO HAVE A CHAD-ERIFIC DAY GENTS AND LADS!
Teacher : Okay class, for this art project, you must pair up with a friend of yours in class and get to know them. Once you get to know them, you must draw how you would imagine that person would look like, not their actual physical appearance, but picture a mental one in your mind. And GO!
*everyone else is paired up, but Travis and the other girl*
T : gosh dangit ... Well lady, we have to be partners I guess *sounding bummed*
? : *cough* *fine by me* *cough* Fine.
T : So what's your name?
? : well it is- *hesitates and gives a fake name* My name is Lucinda.
T : that's cool I guess, my name is Travis.
*that name plays over and over in "Lucinda's" head, feeling a small connection as they talk more*
T : so what do you like to do for fun? *not seeming impressed*
? : Welp, I love volleyball, and theater at the moment. How about you? *travis notices that everytime he says something, she looks a little bit higher, and gets pleased*
T : well, they say I'm quite the lady's man...
*"Lucinda" looks back down where she was and the connection is fading away*
T : *travis regrets what he says as he clenches his fist* Wow I'm dumb why did I say that? *whispers but she heard him*
? : There are dumb people, and smart, I know that you're one of the intelligent.
*travis blushes a light pink on his cheeks*
T : T-thanks... *smiles and looks down too*
*bell rings*
Everyone else leaves but Travis and the girl...
T : you going to head to class?
? : Yeah ... We will see ... *gets up* See you later dingus. *her face was shown to Travis for a split second*
Travis captures her beauty in a digital imprint in his mind, repeating the four words she said along with it.
Travis heads to the bathroom, and stands in front of the mirror, washing his hands even though they aren't dirty, Travis was mumbling to himself when Jeffory walks inside...
J : you okay there pal?
T : hm uh y-yeah...
J : very well, let me know if you ever want to talk mkay?
T : thanks bro!
