Scars-Sally Face (Sal x Larry) (Rewrite) (Was Written Before Episode Three)

Chapter Five

The small crowd of kids was again gathered at the corner,waiting for the big yellow school bus.Larry was exhausted.He couldn't fall asleep the previous night.Sally stood up at the front of the crowd,looking down.Larry walked up to him,smiling."Hey dude."

Sal glanced up at him."Hey."

"You alright?"

"Fine."

Larry stood beside him,smiling.The bus rolled up,and everyone crowded on.Sal and Larry sat down at the front.

Sally silently stared at the ground.He was slightly shaking.

"Sal,you sure your okay,dude?"Larry asked.

"Fine.Just a bit shaken"Sal muttered,not facing him.

"What's wrong?"Larry asked.

"Nothing.Just not a good morning"Sal answered.

"Do you need something?"Larry asked.

Sal shook his head.

The riot began on the school bus again,and someone pulled Larry's hair,laughing.

"We should start walking"Larry said.

"Agreed"Sal responded.

They spent the rest of the ride in silence.

*****

The room was quiet.

Sal silently drew his crappy sketch,and itched his right arm.The art teacher was reading a gossip magazine at her desk.

Sal itched his arm again.

He glanced over,and saw a hand,with a pen in it.

And the insane scribbles on his arm.

"Larry!"Sal whispered,slapping his friend in the back of the head.

"Sorry"Larry muttered,putting his pen down.

Sal looked at the collage drawn onto his right forearm in shock."That's actually insanely good."

The art teacher stood up."Alright students,time's up."

She walked around all the desks and collected the crappy drawings."Mr.Johnson,where is your piece?"

"I got distracted"Larry muttered.

Sal rolled up his right sleeve and showed her the drawn-on-tattoo Larry drew on."This is his."

The art teacher peered down at his arm."This is very unusual,Larry."

Sal and Larry waited in silence for her to continue.

"But,it's amazing!"

They smiled.

"Larry,I don't understand why you don't express your talent more.You might actually be able to join tenth grade classes with work like this."

And that shattered the beautiful moment.

"That's okay,I-I'm in classes with all my frie-"

"Both of you come with me.The principal needs to see this."

*****

Sal tapped the side of Larry's face,making him wince.

"Sorry man."

"It's okay,I know it was an accident."

They at out on the chairs outside the principals office.Larry held an ice pack to his bruised face.
