Freshman year starts today. I suppose that'll be fun. I guess I can always give it a try for now. It can't hurt anything, right ?
Wrong. This whole town is shit. Time to ditch and contemplate ever coming back.
The comic shop seems like a good enough place as any to retreat to. Its pretty easy to find some cool indie comics half off, so i settle and walk to the local cafe. The coffee is shit, but at least theres A/C. Not to mention my shift there starts in another 7 minutes.
When work is finally over I make my way home to see a cheerleader at my doorstep.
Great so not only is the year going to be shit, but it's going to be extra shit.
"Hello ! You weren't at school when I went to hand out flyers. I'm holding a halloween party and I wanted to make sure I invited all the freshies !"
"I'm good-"
"Oh Arden! You brought a friend over! Here come in. I'll make some tea!" Good going dad. And of course, she walks right in not even questioning it.
