Within the ciment

Newbie

   Another sunny yet sad day started off quicking for Clay's student life, well, sunny yet sad days are the average happening days in everyone's life in Birchinsville. Even though Birchinsville is on the middle of the surban area, it's still very, but very little and has the littlest of population in the entire country.
   At every sunny day, there's a dark path to go through and Clay's dark path is called school. Clay hates school and hates the people there, but if there was one thing that could always make him happier about the establishment, is that he is finally a Senior and will graduate within two months.

   - *sighs* “ Ugh, another day on this horrible, horrible place... ” - Hummed Clay in front of the school's gate
   - “ Well, I think we should get started now. Be strong Clay, be strong. ” - Thought Clay on his mind

   Clay then entered inside of school, which sucked for him, but what could he had done about it, right?

   - “ Ew, these hallways are so smelly today, what happened here? ” - Thought Clay

   Indeed, the day was way weirder than usual, the air was thicker, the smell in the hallways was horrendous and Clay was way more tired than he usually is, but at least Clay had the hunch that something new would happen on this borinh day.

  - “ Hey, Newbie! What the fuck are you doing here, you ugly dwarf? ” - Said the ugly bully with an arrogant tone
   - “ Hm, I-i don't know, I guess I just moved her-... ” - Said the dwarf
   - “ Just shut the fuck up already, you're not welcom-... ” - Said the ugly bully cutting what the dwarf was going to say
   - “ Hey! Leave him alone! You really can't leave people alone huh? Ugh, Robert, you are really disgusting... ” - Yelled Clay in the hallways
   - “ Get out Clay, it's none of your business! ” - Exclamated Robert, the bully
   - “ Well, it is, we both study here, so please, if you may, leave. ” - Said Clay calmly
   - “ Uh, whatever... ”

   - “ Uhhh, th-thank you v-v-very much, I-i appreciate y-your help... By the way m-my n-name is Dallas. ” - Revealed the dwarf
   - “ Oh, hm, you're welcome, I-i just don't really like how Robert treats people you know? ”
   - “ Hm, yeah, I know, I'm k-kinda used to it, but I don't know, well, I-i gotta go, bye. ”
   - “ Okay, bye then... ” - Said Clay confused by the way Dallas left

   The bell finally rang after this weird interaction with Dallas, which means the first period of classes had begun and Clay would have to sit all morning long on the same boring ass chair, listening to five different teachers' voices, but as you know, this day wasn't the most normal of the days for Clay.

  - “ Well, folks, today, we have a new stunning student arriving in town. I'm not gonna say his name, because I want him to present himself, c'mon darling, don't be shy, they won't bite you, they are just a little judgy hihi ” - Laughed softly Ms. Benson, the Chemistry teacher

  - “ Hmm, uh, hi... - Said Dallas with a resting nervous face

  - “ C'mon darling, we don't have the whole day, just present yourself, it'd be great. ” - Said Ms. Benson

   - “ Hm, okay... Hm, my name is Dallas... I guess... and I am 17 years old and I-i guess I like to draw? And I like cats and yeah, for those who are wondering, I am 5"3", that's my real height... I don't know... Can I sit now? ” - Presented and asked Dallas
  - “ Of course darling, you can sit now, have a seat right aside of Clay, if you may. ”

  - “ Oh, okay, hi Clay... N-nice to meet you ” - Said Dallas really softly

   Clay didn't respond.

  - “ Well, folks, now we are going to study what you all studied in 9th grade!!! Yayyy, but this time around you will all... ” - Continually said Ms. Benson with an optimistic high pitched voice

   The whole first period of classes was just a bunch of muffled voices and explanations of things Clay didn't even need to keep for life, pretty boring yet very confusing, which resulted on Clay almost sleeping on his notebooks and drawing some characters on his sketchbook, of course Dallas saw the drawings, but he didn't say anything...
   The bell rang, after a few hours of boring classes, this time around the bell was ringing for lunch, well, not exacly lunch, more like breakfast. Clay ran out of the classroom to go to the parking lot, which I'm pretty sure everyone is pretty used to see Clay run away off of the classroom, but Dallas wasn't and Dallas ran after him to go check if everything was okay.
   Dallas then came into the parking lot, even though he didn't own a car, he still went there. Clay saw him, because like an eagle, Clay sees everything, he just doesn't talk much.

   - “ Hm, hey Clay! W-what are you doing? ” - Asked Dallas
   - “ Hm, I'm going to the restaurant, wanna join? ” - Responded Clay
   - “ Yeah, it'd be great, thanks... ”
   - “ Hm, okay then, what kind of music do you listen to? ” - Asked Clay
   - “ Hm, I don't really have a genre of music I often listen to, but I love to listen to some Moe Shop, if it doesn't bother you... ”
   - “ O-okay, Moe Shop, why not...? ”

   Moe Shop wasn't really what Clay expected to hear from someone when it comes to music style, but even though Dallas' questionable style of music was a little bit shocking to Clay, Clay still put it on play.

   - “ Yay, thank you, it has been a while since I haven't listened to some good old music, you know ” - Said Dallas, excited

   Clay just looked at Dallas, wondering what Dallas was and what was Dallas' story, because if there was something that Clay agreed with Robert and everyone else around the campus, who had already had the chance to meet Dallas, was that he is indeed, really, really weird, the weirdo type that doesn't get out much... And then, a killer silence filled Clay's car and both of them didn't have any subject to talk about. But Dallas was still pretty happy, he was bouncing to Moe Shop's music, but he was still quiet and so did Clay.

   - “ Well, we are here... I hope you don't mind eating some fish... ” - Said Clay
   - “ I loveeeee fish, ugh, you hit the hammer on the nail Clay, thank you, I-i mean, I don't mind eating fish... ” - Said Dallas, with his tongue tangled the whole time he talked
   - “ Okay then, let's go inside. ”

   They both got inside of the restaurant and as they were walking by, Dallas seemed stunned by the surroundings, with some sparkly eyes and a huge smile on his face, he was at every step touching Clay and pointing at things, like a little child.

   - “ Welcome to Fat Mariah's sushis! What do you want today? ” - Asked the waiter
   - “ Hm, I want the master sushi chef plate today and what do you want Dallas? ” - Asked Clay
   - “ Y-you don't have to pay for me- ”
   - “ Yes I have to, I invited you, so I'm going to pay, don't worry about that. ”
   - “ Hm, okay, so I want the same thing and a sweet kiwi juice, please, thank you ” - Said Dallas with the most respect Clay has ever seen in his entire life

   - “ Hm, you don't have to sit with me tho, if you don't want to, Dallas... ” - Said Clay
   - “ B-but, I want to... Am I allowed? ”
   - “ Y-yeah, of-of course you are allowed, I mean, I wasn't trying to be rude, I'm sorry... ”
   - “ Don't be sorry, it's okay. ”

   They waited a little bit, until the waiter brought their plates.

   - “ Have a great meal ” - Said the waiter
   “ Thank you! ” - They both responded at the same time and then quackled a little bit because of that

   And they ate, every little particle of rice that was on their sushis, silently, just eating, with no conversation at all, kinda awkward if I'm being honest, but I guess that's pretty normal, they were both a little confused by why they were on a restaurant together and at the same table since they don't even know each other well...
   After eating and paying the receipts they both got into Clay's car and headed up to school, for the second and last period of classes of the day. As usual, they were both pretty silent, just jamming to some Moe Shop, I guess Clay started to enjoy Moe Shop as well, even if it's a little bit, because he caught himself vibing with it.
   When they both got onto school, they had no time to chat or whatever, since the bell rang, calling them in class, classes that resulted only in boredom and deep overthinking.
   Time went fast at the second period of classes and the last bell rang at 5:50PM and both Clay and Dallas ran away of the classroom to finally reach their houses. Clay went to the parking lot, while Dallas straight up went on foot. Clay saw Dallas going on foot and wanted to ask him if he wanted a ride, but just couldn't, so they both went on different directions, on their respective houses, without even saying bye to each other.
