Forgotten memories

Noodle Boy

"Wake up Johnathan, it's your first day!"

"BUT MOM! I'm nervous..."
He said pulling the cover over him.

"Sweety you'll be fine. You know... I bet you'll make a lot of new friends. Wouldn't that be nice?"

Nny shrugged.

"Nny, listen to your mother. You should be around other kids. And you should learn anyways."
His dad said walking by the door carrying a pile laundry.

Nny sighed and rolled off the bed.
"FINE..."

"Thank you."
His mom said leaving the room.
"I'll drive you. It's on my way to work."

< At Skool >
"Have a great day! I love you!"
His mom said waving to him.

"You too!"
He said nervously waving back.
Maybe she's right... Maybe I'll make some friends.

I walked to my class and sat at an empty desk. I know I should have probably sat at the table with the two other students, but they looked kinda mean.. One was sharpening scissors on his pencil and the other just gave a death glare at anyone foolish enough to look his way. I would've sworn that kid had horns, but I wasn't going to stare long enough to know that.

"HI!"

"AHHHHH!!"
I screamed.

"Sorry. Hehe. Can I sit here?"
A girl with a purple ponytail asked.

"Uhh... Ok."

She sat down right beside me.
"What's your name?"

I was feeling really jumpy. Why is this girl so talkative?..
"I-i'm Johnathan.."

She smiled.
"I like it! Can I call you Johnny?"

"Yes."

"Awesome."

"Ok class! Let's get started." the teacher said walking in.

< At Recess >
"Hey Johnny!"

"EEE!"
She giggled.

"You alright?"

"Yeah.. I'm just nervous."

"You don't have to be. Common, I'll introduce ya to my friends."

"Ok."
He said following her.

"HEY GUYS! Meet the newbie to the group."

"Wha-?"
Nny said quietly.

"Who the heck is this?..."
A boy asked frustrated.

"Looks kinda like a dork."
Said a snobby girl.

"This is Johnny. He's going to be playing with us today."

"Um.. Thanks uh.."

"Dev. You can call me Dev."

"Dev.. I can just go swing on the swing set."

"Nonono!.."
She begged pulling on his arm.

"Let the freak go. He's no fun anyways Devi."
The rude boy said.

"Max shut up... "
Devi said.

Nny walked away with a sad expression.

< At Art Class >

"Hi again... hey, I'm sorry my friends were being jerkwads. Usually they're not like that."

He looked up.
"It's fine.."

"Ok.. I just wanted to make sure. So- whatcha drawing?"

"Oh..  this? This is a comic book character I made up. It's not very good. Here's one of my other drawings. They're more like random designs and stuff I see in dreams."
