The Help Chat | BBS [DISCONTINUED]

2.

Lucas was walking through the hallways, black hood pulled over his hat, hunched over himself, he had 10 minutes before the next period started and next period, for him, was free period. Free period meant going down to the counselor's office and talking with Mr. Stafford. Talking with Mr. Stafford meant he had to have a response if he asked to see his arms, asked if he was clean. 'Maybe I could say I have to work on a project,' Lucas thought to himself, 'group project, tell him i'm trying to be more social, it could work.'

12 minutes later Lucas walked out of the counselor's office and went to the school library. It was quiet, Ms. Lindsay always made sure of it, kicking out anyone who so much as raised their voice above the hum of the coffee machine and old computers. Ms. Lindsay would let him sit in the corner, maybe give him the old beanbag, and leave him alone. "Im just thinking" was always the line he used when she asked how he was or what he was doing, but now he had the "help chat" as Mr. Stafford reminded him of. He had been getting notifications all night from the site, and just decided to turn them off completely. Lucas looked around trying to see if maybe there was someone from that chat in the library, sitting right next to him, having the same problems as him. He opened the app against his better judgement. Only two people were online at the moment.
