It'll make sense, I'm sure...
Kinda
___Nothing. That's what a person is. One person, out of billions. Billions of people, on a planet so much bigger than us. One planet, out of an unknown number of them. So many planets, in a universe bigger than anyone could imagine. Our universe, is just one, who knows if there are more. Just one person, less than a spec in the infinity we live in.
"What'cha you doing, little Miss?" Someone asks, not really dragging my attention away.
"See that ant? Crawling across the brick? That's what we are."
"What?" they ask, confused.
"In the grand scheme. That's what we are. One being, crawling through our worthless lives..."
"Are you having an existential crisis? Because what you just said, is making me want to jump off a bridge." the voice says, I now recognize it as a guy. I finally snap out of my trance and look away from the ant. We lock eye contact and, surprise, surprise, it's Alex.
"Um... Yeah." I mumble, looking past him and to the crowd of girls shooting arrows at me. You can steal him away, I'd be quite happy if you did, actually. I yawn and the morning bell chimes.
Saved by the bell.
I stand up and run I hand up my face, rubbing my eyes. I throw my bag over my shoulder and walk towards the front entrance.
Another day in hell.
Great.

"Frey-"
"Fuck off. Unlike others, I'm actually trying to study for exams so I need my silence." Freya snaps, not taking her eyes off whatever she's doing.
"Fine." I mumble, turning around on my heel, away from our usual table. I sigh and head outside, leaving the canteen along with my chance of food for lunch. I head to the same place I was smoking at yesterday, and most days.
I take out a cigarette and hold it in between my teeth. I pull out my zipper lighter and hold it up to the end of the cigarette, lighting it. I breathe in and out slowly, relaxing.
"Oh, Hello! Fancy seeing you here, eh?" Where does this guy keep coming from?!
Fuck it.
I completely ignore him and stand up, turning towards the car park. I start walking and he jogs up next to me. Fuck sake, take the hint!!
"So... What you doing?" Alex asks, nudging me. I growl at him, irritated.
"I'm going to get in my car."
"Why?"
"So I can drive."
"Where?"
"To the shops."
"Why?"
"So I can shop."
"For what?"
"Stuff."
"What stuff?"
"Stuff I will kill you with." I growl.
"No, seriously."
"Art stuff."
"Wha-"
"A new fucking marker you irritating piece of shit!" I yell, ready to pull his head off. Does this guy ever shut up, though?
