Ghosting

Chapter 2- Ignored

Lance stepped shakily off the bus at is barely let him off before driving off again. He huffed angrily and continued walking to the school, as he passed multiple different students he was forced to stumble out of their way to avoid being bulled over.
"What the hell is with everyone today?? No god damned manners" he growls to himself as he dodges another reckless student. He looks around restlessly once he'd reached the secluded spot that him and his friends usually meet at before the school day starts, he tapped his foot in frustration, it was 8:50 and they hadn't arrived yet. He groaned and gave in, making his way to form.
He stopped at the door of his class when he noticed his two friends sitting at a desk at the opposite side of the room from where they normally sit. Lance pinched his brow in frustration.

'Its like I'm invisible to these people today!'
He moved to open the door but the handle wouldn't budge, like in was set in stone. He groaned and slammed his forehead against the glass in utter defeat. 'Ow..'

The door shuddered, causing the teacher who sat at his desk to look up with a raised eyebrow, before standing to go and check the door.

'Maybe I should just go home...' he muttered to himself, backing off from the door a bit. he jumped back at the door opening. 'o-oh hey Mr Wibbleton! i was just- i just got here!' the Teacher looked past him, a confused look on his face. He looks down each side of the hall, the confused and unamused look still on his face.
"Ok whatever whipper-snapper is lurking in this very brightly lit hall that is unsuited to lurking, Reveal yourself!" He called out, completely bypassing the boy infront of him.

'Uhh..Mr Wibbleton.?' The man shrugged and closed the door in Lances face.

'What the Hell is going on today..'

Lance sat down heavily under a tree at the back of the school, that his friends and him had frequented over the few years they've been going to this school. He leaned his back against the cold bark of the tree and looks up at the sky with a frustrated sigh.
Everything is so grey today... He thought to himself absently, still looking out at the ominous clouds looming over the school, threatening to break out into a storm. He runs a hand down his face and pushes himself up off of the ground, I guess I'll just go home then.. he thinks bitterly. He burries a hand into his pocket, hoping to find his phone and headphones but with no luck. He sighs in defeat, looking to the sky once more in distaste as he walks away, not paying attention to the path infront of him. He gets knocked to the ground suddenly by something that felt like a brick wall. He looks up angrily and instantly gets to his feet to stand face to face with the wall.

'Hey man watch where you're going!' He growled at the boy in front of him who had a shocked expression plastered on his face while he stared at lance. 'Did you even hear me?? Watch where you walk asshole!' The boy shook his head and took a step back from him.

"You can't be here.." the boy said quietly, still staring at lance in shock. Lance glared at him.

'Who the hell do you think you are?!' He snarled 'Look I've had a rough day so I'd appreciate it if you. A stranger, could not give me any more grief.' He shoved past the boy and started to stomp his way back to the parking lot.

"W-wait!" The boy called after him, followed by the sound of his footsteps coming at him fast. Lance whips around, stopping the boy in his tracks.

'What do you want?!' Lance snarled, the boy only looked at him in unwavering defiance, refusing to back down.

"I am truly sorry for your loss, but you cant stay here." The boy states bluntly. Lance just stares at in in confusion.

'What do you mean loss?? And I go to school here. I kinda need to attend.' He huffs back 'Why am I even talking to you?! I don't know you!' The boy frowned at him

"You...don't know do you..?" He asked sadly, backing away from lance a bit "Sorry for bothering you." The boy turned on his heel and walked speedily away.

Lance glared after him What the hell does he mean I don't know...??  He thinks to himself, the stress from the day almost spilling over. He growl lowly and started back towards the parking lot.

Lance plopped down onto his bed in exhaustion, it was barely 11am and home already. His mother had also left for work before he had gotten back, leaving him alone to his thoughts. He lays on his back and gazes up at the ceiling, the stars he'd stuck there all those years ago glowed dimly. He sighed and closed his eyes, ready for the darkness of sleep to embrace him.

He didn't know how much time had passed, laying there with his eyes squeezed shut, but when he opened them again it was pitch black.
Lance sucked in a nervous breath as a disturbing yet familiar sensation rolled over him, through his very soul. He shivers, sitting up as fast as he could, feeling a cold hard surface once again beneath his hands.

Lance's breath stalled in his chest as he looked up to see that daunting blank white face.
