Chapter 1: Vitto and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Walk to school
Vitto walks over to the bus stop. It's Wednesday December 18th at about 6:50 am give or take and he's cold as shit. The previous night he'd gotten his only jacket all wet from rain and it hadn't dried yet. What's worse is that the only other option he had was his sweater vests, so he threw one on and left the house. Vitto gets bored so he takes out his phone and starts scrolling through Reddit, laughing at the occasional post about top gear, marvelling at the posts about city transit and its intricacies.
A few minutes later the bus arrives at the stop, the doors powerfully whoosh open, blasting him with a powerful breeze that does nothing to help with his chill but make it worse. 'God damn it, it's so cold out here.' Vitto thinks to himself as he steps onto the bus. Vitto reaches into his fanny pack to take out his compass card (Wait, doesn't he have that bracelet? SHUT THE FUCK UP!) only to realize he forgot it at home, it's currently sitting somewhere in his room. 'Ah fuck.' Vitto thinks to himself as he steps out of the bus. "Good luck out there kid." Says the bus driver before closing the door behind Vitto. "Well, I don't see how today could get any worse." Says Vitto as he begins his journey to the school.
Vitto stops "Wait no, I'm going to have to walk home too, great, it just got worse. Well, I bet it can't get worse than that." Says Vitto before he starts walking again. About halfway to the school Vitto takes out his phone to check the time, his phone lights up and displays the time as 7:15 am. 'You know what, I should have enough time to go back home and grab it so I don't have to walk back home in this freezing cold weather.' He thinks to himself before he turns around.
Vitto arrives back home; he unlocks the door and steps inside, dropping his backpack on the ground by the door. Vitto quickly walks over to his room, wanting to get this done quickly so he isn't late for school. Vitto looks around and finds the card sitting right next to his bed on the ground. 'Bingpot!' Vitto thinks to himself as he walks over to pick up the card. Vitto picks the card up only to be startled by the sound of something falling over behind him. Vitto jumps and turns around to find his (Insert adult family member here) standing in his room near the doorway. "And what are you still doing here?" Asks Vitto's (IAFMH) "I forgot my compass card at home so I came by to pick it up, so I didn't have to walk home later." Vitto explains.
"Oh, well you better hurry to get to school because it starts in fifteen minutes." Says Vitto's (IAFMH). "Oh crap!" Vitto exclaims as he hastily shoves the card in his pocket and sprints out of his room. Vitto grabs his backpack from the floor and speeds out the door. Vitto tries to put his backpack on as he runs to school, his arm gets stuck or something, making him look ridiculous as he runs.
Some kid he passes by sees this and points it out to his mother, "Look mommy, it's a giant chicken!" Says the kid energetically. "No Timothy, that wasn't a chicken, that was a chink." Says the boy's mother tiredly. "Ah, I see… those stupid emojis, they need to go back to their own countries, they're taking over!" Exclaims the boy. Somewhere else at the school, Mayth's head shoots up. 'My racism senses are tingling.' He thinks. Vitto bursts into the school doors and checks the time. '7:55, thank god I made it.' Vitto thinks before he starts upstairs to get to his A block class. When he reaches the top of the stairs, he sees Mayth and Ryder on their way to French class.
Vitto walks over to them and grabs Mayth. "Hello Mayth." Says Vitto. "Oh Vitto, where were you?" Asks Mayth. "Yeah man, we thought you weren't coming today." Says Ryder. "I missed the bus and had to run." Says Vitto. "Well, you *do* look pretty tired, and it's making me so hard." Says Mayth in a playful tone. Vitto feels his face heat up just a little bit, not even enough for the average person to tell, but due to the extreme cold he had just been exposed to all he could really feel was cold anyway, so when he warmed up slightly, you bet your ass he felt it. "Woah, woah, woah!" Says Vitto in a somewhat fake way. "What!?" Says Ryder. Mayth just laughs a bit. "That's weird man." Says Ryder.
