Virgil's POV

Virgil Sanders please report to the main office

The sound of my name being called on the speaker brought me out of my thoughts. Everyone's eyes turned to me as the teacher went to her desk to fill out a hall pass. I fiddled with the sleeve of my uniform, feeling my anxiety kicking in.

"Sanders, I need to get back to my lesson, please take your hall pass and head to the office." I quickly put the books on my desk into my bag and took the hall pass from the front of the room. I heard quiet giggles from the class as I left the room.

I slowly walked to the office, my mind racing with what I could've done. It was a small walk to the office, since my room was on the first floor of the school, so I tried to make the trip there as long as possible. When I finally reached the black wood door to the office, I opened it to see the principal sitting at his desk. He motioned for me sit down and I walked over and sat.

He fixed the stack of paper in his hands and cleared his throat "We need to have a talk about the ways you have been ruining this schools reputation."

I looked up at him confused "What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb. You have been spreading negativity around this school with this 'Depression' of yours."

I tried to speak but was cut off.

"Not only have you been using such negative words to bring people down, you have been zoning out in class and getting horrible scores. You even dyed your hair purple, which according to the dress code-"

"Shut up"

The principal looked at me in surprise "What did you just say to me, Sanders?"

I stood up in my chair "I said shut up! You have been saying horrible things about me-"

"Don't pretend like they aren't true! You are negatively impacting this school environment and ruining the school's reputation!"

"I can't control that!"

"WELL IF YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE AT ALL!"

I started to shake "Wait, no- "

"VIRGIL SANDERS, I HEREBY EXPELL YOU FROM STORYBROOKE HIGH! ILL BE CALLING YOUR PARENTS TO PICK YOU UP!"

---------------------------------------------------------

I gulped as I looked up at the large school in front of me.

Rivershore Highschool

Since I was expelled from my private school, I was forced to go to the local highschool, where I knew absolutely no one. Way to spend my senior year, am I right?

I was brought out of my thoughts by a person opening the door of the school.
I jumped back in surprise and the person laughed. He was taller than me, with thick round glasses and a tan cardigan with a blue tie.

The person held out his hand for me to shake. "Why, hello there! Im Mr. Picani, the principal at this school! You must be Virgil!"

Wow, a teacher actually calling me by my name, this is new.

"Y-yeah, that's me." I tried to hide the fact I was really anxious but failed. Mr. Picani took notice of this and gave me a reassuring smile. "It's alright, Virgil, I won't treat you like your old school did. The principal at that place can be very..... Unaccepting.... At times. Don't let it get to you. Let's go to my office so I can introduce you to your tour guide!" He started walking and I quickly followed behind.

He lead me to a blue door that had a picture of Mickey Mouse on it and opened it, gesturing for me to go inside

Oh god, saying this place was childish would be an understatement. It was like Disneyland packed into one room, with shelves filled with children's books and stuffed animals. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at how childish it was.

Mr. Picani closed the door behind him and called into the room.

"Patton! Virgil's here!"

"YAY!!!" Suddenly, a person ran into the room and stopped in front of me. He was short, with big round glasses and freckles sprinkled on his cheeks. He wore a white and blue sweater and had a tan messenger bag with a cookie on it. 

Mr. Picani smiled at Patton "Virgil, this is Patton. He will be showing you around the school today." "Yeah!" Patton jumped up and grabbed my hand and ran out the door. "Now let's go! We have an hour until lunch and I need to hand out the cookies I made last night for everyone!"

"W-woah! Slow down!"

I sighed to myself.

I think I'm gonna like it here...

(This is so bad lmao)
