Virgil:
This was going to be the worst week of my life. Why you may ask? Because it's my birthday in four days AND I'm counting down the days until I'm assigned a soulmate on soulmate day, if I get one that is. I'm still not so sure I will, seeing how most people hate me or prefer to think I don't exist. The only friend I really have is Patton, a bubbly cardigan clad claud that thinks of me as his son. I don't mind him, I think he's quite nice it's just that he gets a little......scratch that he gets VERY overprotective. I'm glad he cares but it gets to be too much sometimes and I can't tell him how I feel about it cause then I'll feel awful. Well anyway I guess I better start my day, it's Monday so that means I have school or a torture chamber as I like to call it. And by this time next week I'll have a symbol on my arm that a random person who I'm supposed to be in love with has the same one. Ugh, let's just get this over with.

I got out of bed and dragged myself over to my closet, grabbing out a black hoodie, some black ripped skinny jeans and some random mismatch socks off of a shelf. I got dressed and put on my black combat boots that made me look a bit taller than I actually was. Man the struggles of being 5'0 in high school with a bunch of people who are 5'9 and taller is awful. I mostly get picked on cause of my height and my looks and-yanno what my entire person is a reason to be made fun of. And I swear can someone tell these morons that waving my stuff over my head and telling me to just take it isn't funny anymore?!

I applied my pale foundation and some black eye shadow under my eyes before fixing my hair a bit and walking downstairs, grabbing my bag on the way out of my room.

"Hey Virge!" My mom called out as she saw me

"Hey mom" I said, hugging her

"Here's some lunch money and remember. If Walter or his friends try to take it, What do we say?" She handed me 10 bucks

I sighed "we say no" I said. It never worked but whatever makes her happy I guess

I waved bye and began my walk to school, putting my money in my pocket. I hated taking the bus and the school wasn't very far so why not just walk. I pulled out my phone and headphones, putting the headphones on my head and turning my phone on. I scrolled through my playlists until I found one that fit my current mood which was my playlist for when I'm annoyed. I played it and listened to Brendon Urie's voice as I continued my walk to school.

It didn't take long before I had arrived at my hell. I walked in and cringed at how many people were rushing by me, I mean slow down people you all have ten minutes before class starts! I walked over to my locker and opened it, throwing in the books I didn't need and holding the ones I did. I threw my bag in and shut the locker door before seeing Patton walk up to me with his usually bright smile.

"Hiya Kiddo! Did you sleep well?" He asked in his normal and happy tone of voice.

"Well no but that's normal for me" I responded slowly, making sure I had a good grip on my books so that no one could slap them out of my hands.

He smiled before hearing the bell ring and waving bye to me, heading to his homeroom. I waved back to him before turning a full 180 degrees and walking to my homeroom. I walked in and sat down near the back. I leaned my elbow one the desk and my head in my hand, impatiently waiting for the teacher to come in so we can get this entire ordeal over with.
