The day was finally over. Ozzy had started to leave for home, but before she did, she walked up to 2-D and nudged him. He quickly turned around and said, "Whut you want?".
"Just wanted to say bye, that's all," she replied with a hearty grin.
"Awright, see ya tomorrow, then."
She turned around and started to run towards home. 2-D had then left the school grounds but not to go home. He went to the local 7-11 and saw three other people standing near the door whom he had known very well. They'd been friends since about grade five, and they had plans of making a band someday. Not like that would actually happen, but it's a good dream to have.
"Hey, guys, how'wis your day?" 2-D asked in a neutral tone.
"Nothing much, just another crap day in that damn prison they call school," said a very green looking boy with unkempt black hair.
"Muds, watch your mouth, you don't want Noodle getting any habits, do you?" said a rather large boy with a backwards cap on his head.
"What're you gonna do about it, tubby?"
"Enough with the fat stuff, man. Can't you be happy for once in your life?" Russel said while glaring at him.
Noodle was running around excitedly for no real reason at all. She was still very young and she didn't even know English very well, but the guys kept her around since she didn't have any other real friends.
"Sooo, what's that new school of yours like?" Murdoc asked.
"It was terrible, they wer' all laughin' at me and such. Stupid kids," he mumbled. He put a cigarette in his mouth and got it lit. He knew it was a horrible habit, especially at his age, but he couldn't help what he did. He thought about the girl he met today, the only person who had actually treated him with respect. He was hoping that they would make good friends.
"Well, I gotta get going now, then. I'll see you guys tomorrow, I guess," said Murdoc. He had left and the others had left in the same direction, except for Noodle who had followed Russel. It had gotten very dark by the time 2-D had gotten home, and when he entered his house he went up to his room. There were many things on his mind about the day he had just gone through.
Why couldn't the students except people just because they aren't the same? That's what he was thinking. His three best friends didn't care about how he was, they hardly even noticed. Murdoc seems to really take a liking to him, but 2-D didn't want to go in that direction. It would make his social life a whole lot worse, now wouldn't it? He thought so. He was slightly shaking because of the cold air that blew in his room so he had covered himself with sheets and covers. As the day got darker, he got more weary, until he finally closed his eyes and decided to get to sleep. Tomorrow was another day, now wasn't it? It could be a lot better, and yet it also could but a lot worse. But there's always that girl he met, she seemed unique. His musings ended when he fell into a deep sleep.
