Virgil like to draw it was a large coping mechanism for him. Sometimes he would lock his room for hours on end just drawing random characters, small sketches and sometimes even ocs he him self would make. He had many different characters of his own but one of his favourites being a character he liked to call Deciet.

Of course the character had a real name, Janus, but Deciet was what he represented and it was short and easier for Virgil to say. Deciet had half a snake face, he only talks in lies and he wears fancy black suits with bowler hats and capes.

Virgil did sometimes get bullied for his pleasure in drawing but he never usually let the words get to him and if he wanted to draw then he can draw.

He did have some friends Patton heart and Logan Berry. They both were in a relationship with one another but they still always let virgil hang out with them insisting that he never be left out. They were also the only people Virgil would show his drawings, they would often marvel at his skill sometimes they did find Deciet questionable alot with many of his drawings but they were always supportive.

One of Virgils dreams was to go to art school and learn how to animate aswell. He always tried to chase that dream but even his parents thought it wasn't worth it and dumb. Eventhough some people would try to get him down most of time he would try to forget but sometimes he never could.

I woke up to a loud rainy day and the tiptapping of the drops on my window. I quickly got changed for school and put my art pad in my backpack and went down stairs to make myself toast. My parents we're usually at work at this time since they needed to go really early to their jobs.

I walked out the front door and locked it with the keys. On my way I came across Patton who then chit chatted to me all the way to school. When we arrived we saw Logan sitting on a bench reading a book like usual. Patton was on the other one next to him but I stayed behind and went into the school. When I reached my locker I undid the lock and put my art pad, phone, keys and other things under a large pile of other stuff in there. I still had all my books in my backpack along with the mountains of homework we were given the night before. When the bell rang I was already there along with many other students.

The students all stared at the White board as the teacher was talking about right angles and stuff. It was slightly boring. "Alright class I need this work sheet completed by next week." The teacher said near to the end of class handing out homework for the children to do. Most of the children groaned apart from Logan and a few other smart kids. Unfortunately Virgil wasn't a "smart kid" he wasn't really the most focused one and easiest to learn one in the class. Sometimes he would stumble on words, constantly get questions wrong and say the wrong words. No matter what Virgil did he couldn't take his mind of his art and drawings and new ideas he could do.
