Wilfredo had a gluten allergy. Not a big deal, right? Most kids like him would just go on with their lives as normal. But Wilfredo, however, decided to use this to his advantage. More specifically, to skip boring class.
His usual day, which is supposed to end off in English, instead led him to the boy's bathroom, where he would skip his least favorite subject to play on his phone in one of the stalls. This plan would work almost every time; and Wilfredo was about to use it again, as he heard the late bell ring, his queue to get to the bathroom.
"Wilfredo McRussian the 15th , what do you think you're doing?" Mrs. David, the English teacher, asked Alex suspiciously. She had been through this countless times with him.
"I'm going to the bathroom." He said, trying to make it sound more urgent.
After a few seconds of Mrs. David's hesitation, he adds, "I accidentally ate bread at lunch today." Although the teacher could see through the boy's lies, she realizes she can't waste anymore time arguing when she was supposed to be teaching, and turns away back into her classroom, saying "Come back soon".
After this encounter, Wilfredo triumphantly walks away and into the bathroom, where he gets himself situated in his favorite stall: the third one down. It was always the cleanest, and in the hot late-April weather he was right under the air conditioner.
Pulling down his neon blue skinny jeans down to his white Jordans, and then followed his Angry Birds thong, Wilfredo pulled out his phone and opened Fortnite Mobile. He wasn't all too good at it, but he prided himself on having the early access version of it. His volume was low, but audible, and Wilfredo started to play on the toilet. Until he heard footprints coming inside!
In a panic, Wilfredo rushes to mute his volume and put his feet above the stall, so nobody knows he was in there. Holding his breath,Wilfredo listens to the footsteps of the other male coming into the bathroom: it was Dilly! Dilly was mostly known for playing Fortnite and Geometry Dash really well, and was pretty popular for that.
Wilfredo hears Dilly whistling as he made his way to the only urinal in the bathroom, in a dark corner. As Dilly relieves himself, he hears the nervous, shallow breaths of Wilfredo from the stalls, and can see a small peek of his neon skinny jeans.
"Hello?" Dilly asked, finishing up and zipping back up his fly. Wilfredo didn't respond in any way, of course. Neglecting to wash his hands, Dilly slowly creeps between each stall, peeking in between the cracks, before kicking them open. Wilfredo nervously anticipates Dilly finally seeing him. And as soon as he sees his dark eye through the small crack in the stall, and the door that was supposed to keep him covered flew open to reveal the dirty bottoms of Dilly's red converses, Wilfredo knew it was over.
"ARGH! What the hell, man!?" Wilfredo says, covering himself with his arms.
"Oh, it's you." Dilly shrugs, turning back to wash his hands.
"Dude, what are you doing here?" Wilfredo asks, his Fortnite now blaring from an accidental push of the button.
"Um, using the bathroom? And you're skipping class, right?" Dilly says, his damp hands pulling bits of paper towel from the dispenser as he looked behind him from the mirror.
"No! I have a bug!" Wilfredo retaliates, not realizing his story changed.
"It's okay dude, I'm not a snitch. But just so you know, never land in The Dusty Depot." Dilly says, wiping the access water off of his shirt before leaving the bathroom.
Wilfredo sighs in embarrassment, reaching his lanky arm to close the stall door. Wilfredo goes back to playing Fortnite. He, always placing less than 60, was always dying early at the hands of a player called "mrpenguin002".
Until yet another man's footsteps could be heard entering the bathroom.
