You walked along the sidewalk, repeatedly kicking a soda can. Today was your first day at your new school, as you had just moved into Elmore about a week ago. As you approached the school, your grip on your backpack straps tightened.
"It's alright, y/n. There's nothing to be afraid of." You quietly reassure yourself, looking around to make sure nobody had seen you talking to yourself. Everyone seemed to be doing their own thing, except for this one cyclops who was staring at you, but as soon as you saw him, he swerved out of sight.
As you reached the doors, you took one last big breath and entered. There were kids everywhere; on the floor, on the roof, on the walls, in the air.... honestly, there were only about 5 kids walking normally to class. One of them, you noticed, was the cyclops from earlier. Since you didn't know anyone here, you decided to introduce yourself to him. You approached him and he jumped a little, startled.
"O-Oh! Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." You start, as he turns to face you. He has one big pale yellow eye in the middle of his face, and glitchy brown hair. His skin was grey, and there were seemingly bits of static around parts of him. "I'm y/n. I'm new here..!" You introduce yourself.
"U-Uh, hey. I'm Rob, but you'll probably forget that." He says, slightly turning around to leave.
"Why would I forget?" You ask, grabbing his shoulder to turn him back to you.
"Everyone else does." He shrugs, and looks down at the floor. "I guess I'm just not that important."
"No, of course you are! Everyone is!" You reassure him, even though you don't feel that way about yourself.
"Eh, that's debatable." He mumbles, still focused on the floor.
"I... I don't know how to respond to that." You say, with a hint of defeat in your voice. "Well, bye Rob." You say, with a slight wave before turning and walking in the other direction.
"You remembered..." You heard him say, but when you looked back, he was already heading to class.
