TW: Violence, gore and mature language.

School really did suck.

Things could definitely be worse, but could they be better? Yeah. Of course they could.

Venus didn't want to come off as dramatic (though she was) but growing up and starting her first year of high school was probably one of the worst experiences of her life.

Not that she would tell anyone that. There was only one or two people she would tell, because everyone else would call her dramatic. And she didn't think she was dramatic.

So far, Venus had woken up at 6:00am (after only 3 hours of sleep), had a small bowl of cereal, walked to school, and then went through all her classes of the day.

It was currently lunch, which was at least some kind of relief. Her few friends had just gotten into a fight over uno so she left the room to go outside until the bell rang to come back in.

As she sat against the wall of the building, the grass tickling her back, she read some questionable content on her phone, because what else was there to do with her free time?

"Hey-"

She looked up abruptly with a blank expression on her face before she realized who it was. It was just her best friend Tovah, who had probably just gotten outside a minute or two ago.

"Oh hey. Did you finish the math work?"

Tovah rolled his eyes and promptly plopped down next to her in the grass, raising his arms behind his head with an annoyed sigh.

"Yeah, finally. Why are you out here? I went over to the band room and Hal said you went outside. I thought you were playing uno with them."

Venus groaned, rubbing her eyes as she felt a small headache coming on. She always got some sort of headache or nausea near the end of the school day.

"Nat, Hal and Salma had a fight over the game. They told them to stop being bitches over the game and then they proceeded to have some kind of fight over it. It wasn't a really big fight but I think Nat got upset over it, and the other two just continued their conversation so I left. I know it was probably a mean thing to do but I felt super awkward being there between them and I thought I did something."

Tovah nodded, he looked slightly surprised if anything. But not much emotion was shown on his face. His blue-grey eyes were usually pretty void of emotion. Not that he was some heartless human being who cared about rien. But this kind of thing happened often so it wasn't exactly unusual.

"I probably would have left too. Sounds super awkward."

She nodded in response and raised her phone to continue reading the smut, before Tovah leaned over to look at it with a disgusted look on his face.

"Really?"

"Shut up. I'm.. Bored. Yeah, that's it."

"Whatever..-"

Tovah was peculiar looking. Not in the bad way, it was a good kind of unique way. He had short red hair that had just been recently shaved, with a sort of leopard print pattern (venus still wonders how his hairdresser managed to pull that off) . His eyes were grey, with a slight amount of blue. Almost silver. His clothing style was more or so some casual skater kind of thing, with oversized t-shirts, baggy pants, sneakers, maybe a few accessories here and there.

Today he was just wearing his pajama pants. How very classy of him. Considering how today he was tired of everything and anything and just gave up on life so actually getting dressed was not an option.
