Chapter 4: The Halls

I was thinking to just completely skip class, not like I'm learning anything today. Besides, Recess is next in our schedule.

It was warm and peaceful in the halls, listening to the echos of noisy classrooms and each step I take is somehow quite relaxing. I heard a loud door opening, I started looking to where it came from and I saw the new student just walked in the entrance door, I a mean, I assumed they were new, they were wearing civilian clothes and from the looks of it they seem to be around my age. They looked like they were in a hurry, they were wearing a handkerchief as a face mask so I didn't quite see any features to try and recognize them, they were heading to the main office so I assume they were going to get their starter supply and pay for the fee. I stared at them for a bit and continued walking.

I still don't know why, but I always find these halls unsettling-ly relaxing, maybe because I like watching horror movies. The thought made me think about Russel, Del, and Noodle, three of my closest friends. I remember last summer were we three would go on a sleep over together at my house, we watched a lot of horror films and trash TV and played games. Though, there's this one particular game that we played, Russel really hated this one, it's called Monopoly. Russel always gets in Jail and pay taxes in the game, he's just so unlucky at the game that I caught him reading a book on how to win monopoly, it was funny seeing him trying so hard, but I'm looking forward to that improvement. After a few walks I heard fastened steps, it got louder and louder and before I knew it, I fell off from the front.

Murdoc's POV:

"Bloody hell!" I thought while groaning when I hit the ground, but something's off, this doesn't feel like a ground. I pushed my arms up and saw a blue-haired bloke under me, my eyes widen and stood up quickly, fixing my clothes and make sure everything was covering me up. I looked down at the idiot, I could hear him mumbling in pain. I smiled at that, really brings me joy when people get hurt, but my mood changed when I saw my things scattered around in front of us, my temper took charge and my smile faded.

Stuart's POV:

My head started to hurt after that fall, it was a hard hit too. I was about to stand on one knee but I  heard someone stomping and aggressively mumbling to themselves. I looked at them and it was the same person I saw walking in the main office,  they were picking up their things and dropping some because of how quickly they try to pick it up. I decided to help and pick up the ones that are way too far from where they are. I handed some pens and papers and a stapler to them, they took it without thanking me or looked at me and just walked around, bending to get one last item and hitting my left shoulder as they quickly walked pass me. It was rude, but I assumed it like they were just introverted or something, like eye-contact and talking isn't one of their thing.

9:55 am, I decided to head back to my classroom, I guess it wasn't a whole skip, but just encountering someone new can drain a bit of my energy, plus, Ms. Tasha might have something to say before leaving the classroom.
