5 – Idiot

October 31, 1 year ago

Blake: Alriiiight... Which costume... Which costume...

It was Halloween, and 11-year-old Blake was in his house, preparing for the grandest event of his life. Everyone would think he was cool, once he wore a certain costume. He could finally fit in.

At least that was what he thought.

Blake: Ahh... This one...

Blake lifted out a Plague Doctor Costume, and he thought it looked really cool, so he wore it and head straight out of his house.

Blake: You guys! Heyyyy...!

Everyone: Yo Blake!

"Lookin' cool!"

"Trigger me timbers!"

"Yoooooo-"

"Noice!"

"That's pretty pog, not gonna lie!"

"Nice Costume, Man!"

Blake: Yes... Yes... I know, I know.

Once he was gone, everybody started doing what was imaginable for Blake. An idiot he was, he never thought it would happen, but it did. They all shamelessly mocked the way he dressed. His taste. They made fun of him being himself.

"He honestly looks like a kid who's trying too hard..."

"I know right...?!"

"Lmao, he looked real stupid."

"Is anyone gonna tell him?"

"Not pog."

Blake smiled to himself, as he thought he had granted respect from his peers. He could hear the Xbox Achievement Unlocked sound in his brain, repeated over and over again, deteriorating the flesh inside his head, making him forget that they had mocked him like this thousands of times before.

"Blakey, has anyone ever told you, that you look like a Grandma.?"

"Hah. I know, right?"

"I can see his ass pop out of his nightgown."

"Nice Nightgown, Kim K!"

Laughter echoed all across the vicinity, and Blake was surrounded by a group of kids, which took loads and loads of pictures of him, which would soon be imprinted onto his deteriorated brain. Something he could never erase from his life.

October 31, Still A Year Ago, 10PM

Blake was all alone, sobbing his soul out on a bench. He could see some kids roam around, getting candy from the neighbors, but he was too ashamed of himself. He didn't want any more people mock him like that. He really thought this would be the day where everyone would praise him. He thought he looked really cool, and he didn't know why anyone would make fun of him. Soon, he will find out, but for now, he's still a mere shadow of his future self.

"You okay?"

Blake turned around and saw a girl in a vampire costume in front of him.

Blake: Y-YEAH. I'm fine...!

Kina: Yeah, you're lying. My name's Kina, by the way.

Blake: N-no I'm not...!

Kina: Come on, you. It's alright.
