Closer - TICCIMASK

Chapter Four

Toby glared at the black and white tiled floor as he tightled gripped the sides of the uncomfortable chair he was sitting in. He glanced up at the closed door of the principle's office. There was a full body window at the side of the door and he could see Masky standing in front of the principle's desk, his hands tightly clasped behind his back. He was nodding his head to what the older man was saying. Truth be told, it was very rare for the principle to even be there since he just happened to be the extremely famous MrCreepyPasta. MCP saw almost everything that happened in the Underworld and it just so happened that he saw the fight between Toby and Lyn in class.
Of course, students had made each other bleed before during fights, but it was on their own time after classes. What Toby did was against the rules and could easily get him suspended; Lyn was only getting detention for a week. Toby saw Masky turn around and he quickly directed his attention to the floor once again.

The door opened and MCP's voice rang out in the silence. "Thank you for your time, Mr. Sutton. I hope that nothing like this will happen again."

"I assure you that it won't, sir."

Toby could feel the man's icy glare from behind his mask boring into the side of his head. His left arm twitched and a loud 'tick' echoed around the room because of his movement.

"Let's go, Toby," Masky growled, walking past the teen.

Toby quickly picked his bag up off of the floor and followed Masky down the hall that was suddenly completely silent as every student watched them walk towards the front doors of the school.

"Toby? Toby!"

The teen turned to see Clocky running after him, confusion etched all over her face.

"What's going on? What happened today? I heard you got into a fight with the Harper girl."

"That's exactly what happened and I'm here to take Toby home," Masky said and roughly grabbed Toby's shirt in his fist, ignoring the surprised yelp he got from the boy. He began practically dragging him towards the doors.

"H-Hey! Wait a minute, Mr Hot-shot!" Clockly chased after the two and grabbed Toby's arm, yanking him away from Masky. "What the fuck is going on here? I heard that the bitch deserved what happened to her. She attacked Toby first."

"How would you know that?" Masky growled, turning to walk up to Clocky. They were so close that their noses were almost touching.

"I've got people," the young woman snarled.

"Yeah, well, so do I. And they're better sources than your people are, Natalie. Now fuck off, and go back to class." He snatched Toby from Clocky and shoved him forward, stepping on his heels every time he slowed down.

"Fuck you..." Toby mumbled under his breath as he pushed the door open and walked outside.

The sun was beginning to set and the two quickly made their way towards an open space in the grass and Masky pulled out a glass vial full of a strange purple liquid.

"W-Why the fuck do you have o-o-one of those?" Toby asked and Masky looked down at him.

"Because I don't want to have to use up my powers to take your ass home."

"I'll just f-fucking walk!" Toby shouted, his head jerking to the side and his muscles ticking.

"Don't talk to me like that, you little shit!" Masky shrieked, grabbing Toby's arm as the teen turned away.

Toby's eyes widened and it was like someone flipped a switch. He looked back at Masky and the older man saw the exact emotion in his eyes that he'd seen the first night he was in the mansion.

"Don't. Touch. Me," he harshly whispered, yanking his arm out of Masky's grasp.

Masky could feel nothing but regret. "Shit. Toby I-"

"I'll w-walk." Toby turned away and swung his bag over his shoulder, tightly gripping the strap.

"Toby, get back here NOW!"

The teen whirled around and flipped Masky the bird before stuffing his hands in his pockets and turning back around to continue walking. The older man sighed and looked down at the ground with a defeated look on his face, but he quickly looked back up when he heard loud cackling. In a second floor window stood a ginger girl, laughing as the scene played out in front of her.

"That was great! Now I see why the little fucker bit me."

"Yeah, sure you do. Why don't we see what happens when I come up there and do what he did, but worse?"

Lyn grinned and licked her lips. "Mm. I wouldn't mind~"

Masky shivered in disgust and quickly used his powers to teleport the fuck right out of there.

Toby sighed as he looked at the opening to the forest where the trail began. He kept his eyes on the ground as he stepped forwards and made his way down the dirt path. His music blasted in his ears at a volume that anyone would say was too damn loud, even Sally. Perhaps not with those exact words, but...yeah.
The teen began to walk off of the trail and turned his music down so that he could listen to what was around him. He took one earbud out and tucked it into the collar of his hoodie, as to not fuck up the wire. As he made his way through the trees, he began to notice the pages on the trees and he rolled his eyes behind his goggles.

He wondered how anyone with a brain could fall for this shit. But, it was sort of like another way to show that he was going the right way home so he had nothing to complain about.

"Guys, I see one!"

...Except that. With a heavy sigh, Toby slung his bag off of his shoulder and quickly made his way over to a large boulder, sitting down behind it and unzipping his bag. Surprisingly, it was large enough to hold his school supplies, and both of his hatchets. But this was no time to be thinking about that. No, at the moment Toby was thinking about how he was going to scare fangirls off of the property. They were always coming to try and find Slender Man and literally beg to be a proxy. They would grovel at his feet and plead with him to give them just one chance to prove their worth. Of course, they all ended up dead or thrown out of the forest, but it was funny as hell to watch.

"Jess, let's just get out of here. We've still got classes to go to..." a quiet voice said and Toby peeked out from behind the boulder to see a boy timidly tugging on the sleeve of a girl's blouse.

"Ryan, if you want to go home, then you can go," the girl, Jess, sighed. "It just proves that you're not worth Slender's time."

Another boy beside Jess, much more buff than Ryan, laughed. "Yeah, ya fuckin' pussy. Go home to your mommy."

"M-My mother's dead, Colton. I murdered her a year ago."

"Fuck you."

Toby rolled his eyes and fixed his goggles on his face before standing up and walking out from behind the large rock. "Hello, hello. W-What do we have h-h-here?"

I don't even know anymore. I haven proof-read this and I'm probably not going to since I have little to no motivation to do so. So yeah.
