╳ " Whats the definition of school? Of couse to everybody, hell. Literal hell, no doubt, i believed that it was in all honesty, worst school filled with the worlds fakest smiles. Although, i couldn't blame myself, sometimes even i too, hide behind a smile, but being in a school splattered with people forced to have their own labels as teens, then i absolutely wouldn't fit in. I'm more of what they call it, Unwanted, people who can't fit in with proper labels, then they'd just be regular high school kids, and that's where i fell in. Of course, i knew i was an Unwanted when i first stepped into this forsaken school, then i met a couple people, i call them friends, because that's what they are. Ever since my parents decided to make me school photographer, then i was recognized, which was new and weird. Nevertheless, my only friends were Logan, the smartass, Roman, the basic bitch but a petty boy, and lastly, Patton, the happiest one, like a dad but really he's just a kid in heart. I think i might like him, but im not good with emotions as much as i want to be. Oh well, might as well get a move on. ", Virgil scribbled in his notebook, writing about his so-called life, shutting it softly before getting his camera once more, he stood quietly while roaming the school grounds, other kids greeted him but he never answered, then a familiar voice echoed through the hall he was walking in. " Hey, Virgil!! "
" Oh, hi Patton. Didn't think you'd come earlier. ", Virgil smiled down at him, his happy smile became wider as he smiled back, that smile was the smile he knew, was never fake.
" Yeah, decided to come and see you! ", The smaller boy said, wrapping his arm around the emo. " I know you're usually alone in mornings so i came! Also because i wanted to help with your photo stuff. "
" O-Oh. ", Virgil said quietly, his cheeks felt warm. " Uh, th-thanks, i guess. Although, i suppose i don't mind so if you wanna help, then try pointing out some things that'll make this school look.. ", He paused. " good. ", The boy sighed as the other looked up at him, puzzled but still searching upon the context of their school. " ' Look good '? ", Patton mumbled. " Why would you say that? The school- "
" Sucks. Literally, there isn't anything to offer except food thats already been eaten and labels that make kids here think their superior. "
" B-But, at least there's some kids that have things to offer apart from that! Teens here are not really interested in the school, but they at least try to make it special for themselves and friends! Right? "
" You have a good point. ", Virgil claimed, making Patton smile until the purple-clad continued. " Then there's your bullies and jocks, cheerleaders and petty girls, nerds and other people that call us Unwanted. "
" i-i. ", He stuttered, completely baffled at how Virgil was actually, right. " Ugh what was i thinking? I guess you're right, maybe this school could, lighten up a bit. ", Patton stated happily.

As time passed on before the bell, they both have taken photos of friends and the lush nature within the highschool grounds, the two satisfied with their photos. " Huh, they actually turned at pretty nice. ", Virgil complimented their work. " Thanks a lot, Patty. "
" Hehe, no problem Virgil! ", Patton giggled as he held Virgil, the two felt a bit flustered before letting each other go and waving goodbye, off into their classes. Virgil went into the photography class, there was only a teacher and two other students, former friends so to speak. " Hey guys. ", Virgil said softly, nobody acknowledged his existence upon the classroom, he cleared his throat. " Uh, hey guys?- "
" Oh, heya Virgil! ", Tayln looked up from her tablet as they walked towards him for a pat on the back. " So, how's Patton?~ "
" Wh-wha?! ", He exclaimed as they chuckled at his absentminded self. " I saw you walkin with good ol' Patton! C'mon, they looked so cute together. Ain't that right, Joan? ", Tayln shouted towards the other across the table, they smiled and nodded, considering they never really spoke as much as Virgil intended them to. " Ugh, c'mon it's not like i like him or anything. ", Virgil reassured, pushing Tayln playfully to the side. " Saying that admits you do! ", They shouted out for him as he walked towards the teacher, sipping at his coffee like there wasn't a care in the world. " Ah, greetings Virgil. ", The teacher, Mr. Kina, said softly. " H-Hey Mr. Kina, i have todays recent photos for the newspaper today. ", Virgil handed the camera and gulped, he completely forgot wether he took a picture of Patton or not, biting his lip nervously. " These are amazing! I'm sure the school newspaper would love these, Virgil! Let me send you and Joan to send these over. I'm sure the newspaper committee would love them. ", Mr. Kina handed him a hall pass along with the camera proudly as Virgil assumed that there wasn't a picture of Patton. " C'mon Joan, those newspaper people take their stuff super seriously. ", Virgil said to them, their head shot up and nodded once more; either they hated him or was just too afraid to talk to him, but it felt somewhere in between as he tried to start up a conversation. " So, how are you? ", Virgil started a little awkwardly but he didn't get a response. " Um, c-can you talk at all? "

" yes. "

" Then why won't you? "

" because i wanna leave, i wanna get out. ", Joan said harshly, both sighed, they looking up at Virgil. " That camera is a pass-me-down, people say it shows what you wish to see, but with some sort of dire cost. Death. "

" o-oh. "

" the last holder left this high school with bipolar depression. Be careful with that. "

" i-i- okay? But what about the rest of them? The others? "

" They all died. "
