As they arrived at the school he put his phone and earbuds into his bag. The doors opened and everyone stood up at once, they formed a line and walked to class being picked off one by one going down different hallways to get to class. Eventually Thomas was all alone walking to the end of a hallway, the shadows of the lockers narrowed pointing towards the room. He knocked, looking at the ground, the door slowly opened as he stepped in and sat down without saying a word about anything to anyone.
The boy sitting behind him staring throwing balled-up sticky notes at him. As one hit him in the head he turned to the boy,
" Would you cut that out!"
He was louder than he meant to sound, a few people began to stare.
" Geez, sorry, I didn't know how sensitive you were."
" I'm not, it's just annoying, your lucky that the students don't have the better control or you'd be dead."
The boy turned around as Thomas resituated in his seat. The teacher slowly began to talk about how Miami made major contributions to Florida. He felt as if he was being imprisoned, but there wasn't anything he could do about it accept silently complain to himself.

As he followed a younger girl down the bus loop onto the bus, he searched for Jonathan but he had no luck finding him. He sat down next to the young girl and put his earbuds back in, he continued to search for Jonathan and ended finding him sitting next to an 8th grader, he looked like he was having the time of his life, like no one else mattered and anything could have been happening behind him but it wouldn't have mattered because he was talking to the 8th graders. To most people, he knew that talking to the 8th graders wasn't that big of a deal, but as a 6th grader, it helped with your reputation. Thomas personally didn't have a good one yet, but since he was good friends with Jonathan, and Jonathan seemed to have the same relation ship with the 8th graders, he figured he was on his way. As he slowly approached the bus stop, he slid his arms through the straps on his backpack and stood up as the bus jerked him forward. He slowly started walking towards the door and was the first to get off the bus and start walking home.
As he started walking home he heard whispering interfering with his music. As he pulled his earbuds out the whispering came to a dramatic stop. The whispering started again before he unpaused the music as he slid and placed them back into his ears. He quickly tore out the earbuds and continued to walk home without listening to music. But the whispering after a while began to continue...
