That's Life
Oblivious fools
Danny
*sigh* Life.......love it don't we?
Danny
all of these people......all know your name but you don't know ANY of theirs
his comment is highly amusing to the cocky rebel. he walks down the hall in his favourite red hoodie and black, skinny jeans. a chain dangling from one belt loop to another. Black boots to accompany his bad boy image
Mae
*scoff* I know I dont. I've got double science, math and English in a row
the short, dark haird girl pops up beside the rebel to complain. her hair tied high, adding to her height and a blue lolly in her mouth, popping out ever so often. a light blue shirt and a black leather jacket to add to her give no fucks vibe.
Danny
I've always wondered why the hell do you keep trying to match with my outfit?
his cockiness pushed down to a simple hum as he turns to the girl, with a raised brow, who turns to him in return
Mae
because no matter what you do or how you dress.....ill always pull it off better.
smirking up at the rebel who can't help but to smirk back
Mae
plus, we're not matching, im wearing blue and leather and your wearing red and denim.
she shrugs at him. the pair Deffinatly partners in crime when it comes to the whole school thing.
teacher
Danny, Mae, out of uniform again!
the usual teacher to come and visit their bubble every morning arrives.
teacher
im not having it today, Danny-
the teacher sighs, tired of hearing excuse after excuse every morning from this terror of a student.
Danny
a bird shat all over my blazer and I stepped in dog shit.........in other words, I left my give a shits there.
the boy smirks at the teacher who growls in frustration at the student who can't go a second being serious
teacher
you watch it boy, your about to have a big shock coming to you
the teacher warns, his voice Furious and mind exhausted from having to deal with his disgusting attitude.
but the rebel can't help but laugh at the empty threat thrown by the teacher
Danny
oh please, I see your face too much for it to shock me anymore
this comment resulting in laughter and mocking looks from both of the young adults. neither of them prepared for life......on the outside maybe
teacher
your gonna fail if you think this path is the right one to success!
the teacher calls on deaf ears. but, theirs a big difference between being socially acceptable and "good at life" being polite and kind just makes you popular......being good at life keeps you alive. its a shame these teachers judge the rebels future on the blatant fact he has an attitude he can't help but to use and a cockiness non of these adults understand how to handle.
I wonder how long it will take for them to figure out that he's got life wrapped around his finger and the attitude is purely to keep those who aren't trusted away.
Pillow
After the hard day of cockiness and sarcasm, the rebel is left to brush away all possible invitations to more conversation or invites to walk.
Mae
ugh, fine, didn't want you to come try my new cake anyway.
the girl walks away mumbling complaints about the guy she calls her friend
in opposed to the obnoxious attitude driven by him for the whole day. his sigh of relief when he is finally left alone is something to question
Danny
oh look at that, more people
the boy spins around to look at the teacher who just HAD to interrupt his attempts to go home.
theteacher only rolls his eyes at the boy in front of him. his attitude may be annoying but its the usual thing. its inevitable when talking to the boy
teacher
tomorrow I need you ON TIME. you hear me? this is important to your future, Dan.
the teacher doesn't glare. the nickname was a slip up on his part. all the nickname does is piss him off and they know this, yet with a name like Danny or Daniel its also inevitable that SOMEONE is going to call you Dan
and with the planets aligning and the total eclipse happening with a blue moon-
the teacher is frozen for a few moments. the total flip in attitude was ultimately impossible before this moment here.
the teacher growls before spinning around and rushing away.
Once that door is shut the boys shoulders deflait and his head slowly falls backwards, looking up at the clouds that are desaturated and dull. its only obvious that this incredible change in attitude will change the weather.
he shuts his eyes, eyes that look tireder now his attitude has been put away for now
the rain only gets heavier. but the boy can't find the motivation to move.
Danny
its not like home is any better
but the boy knows he has to move. all the while, his hesitation to do anything to do with moving out of that spot attracts the attention of the teacher that has to deal with the rebel all damn day.
getting home is always easy. blatantly because all he has to do i walk across the road to the ally way between two shops. on the other side theirs a field and across the field a forest.
the air is thin now that buildings and the majority of sivilisation has been pushed away by a farmers payment of a field.
but the rain still falls hard from the sky, only showing signs of getting worse which is extremely dangerous for the boy.
I wish he could tell you that he's got a nice little cabin in the woods as his home, but in reality he got the best thing he could find.
its broken. its got holes and its unstable. the wood could break any second. and if it does break and he falls he'll get hurt.
may be not a broken bone, but a sprain is a large possibility.
but...he know which steps are good and which steps aren't and he knows which planks will snap and which are able to hold his weight
he makes his way over to the corner which he figured to have the best stability. blankets and a douffle bag rested on top of a rug to make things more comfortable for him
he tiredly sits down by his bags. the wind isn't at all blocked by the house. but he thought having protection from sun, rain and snow is a lot more beneficial then protection from wind.
he sighs. pulling his childhood pillow closer to him. it's old and flattened, but he gets an intense sense of home when close to the in the night garden pillow
if he had to choose one thing to keep among the items he still has, it would be the pillow
a low rumble of thunder is the first thing to break Danny from his sleep. he's always been bothered by thunder. lightening scares him and the high winds that follow make him feel incredibly unsafe in his broken tree house.
the creaks and groans of the old wood and the rocking of the planks makes doubt seep into his thoughts everytime.
ut he survived the last storm.......
so whats different about this one?
a snap of thunder rockets across the sky with a yellow flash, blanketed across the sky until a loud crash echos above him
he jumps up in his position. sweat of panic forming over his forehead when smoke begins to form.....
Danny
fire- theirs a fire!
he scrambles to his feet and gathers everything he can and stuffing it all into the duffle bag.
but when he steps to make a run a large snap echos through the wood, originating from below him as the floor of his tree house collapses from under him.
he gasps in shock as he begins to fall to the muddy ground, the ground that now is covered in sharp, broken planks of wood, some with nails poking out of.
He screams as he hits the floor with a thud. the instant dizziness of hitting his head in the floor stalls him
the planks are still falling and his head hurts too much to get up
he shouts, trying to motivate himself as tears drown his face. a mixture of fear and pain collapsing his body.
he pushes himself off of the ground, thankful that nothing big is falling at this moment.
that is until a piece if wood drops right onto his back, kicking him back to the ground.
a cry of pain leaving him when it does
but he knows that if he doesn't move, a lot more pain will follow
dragging himself through this mud and broken wood
he reaches what he thinks is far enough. wishing and hoping it to be far enough
until everything goes dark.
he shouts in shock and curls up, covering his head with his arms before realising that the roof landed in such a lucky way
not only did it not hit him
but he's now once again shielded from the rain and now also the falling pieces of wood.
Danny
please be over- please be over- please just be END
he begs and pleads. but his begs are not answered until the morning.
a whole night of terror, pain and suffering. not a wink of sleep
trouble sleeping
despite the night. Danny knew that just sitting around is worthless
school is a good way of getting through the day. its the perfect pass time.
but now he's got an aching and bruised wrist and his back burns in pain. not to mention the headache he's still got
the teacher goes to say but Danny simply slowly walks past. bags under his eyes, skin pale and if you look close enough you'll see that his dark hair actually has a bit of dried blood in it
so the teacher lets him be.
his friend on the other hand
Mae
what the **** happened to you?!
she scoffs. looking him up and down and laughing at his misery without even thinking of the possibility that the only thing he had to protect him through harsh weather was defeated by the harsh weather.
Mae
hellooooo, Mr. Zombie?
she waves her hands in front of his face. to which he weakly pushes her away, changing direction and walking into the library where he knows have comfortable sofas for lounging about and comfort when reading
Mae
Danial? Danny! Dan!Dan!Dan!Dan!Da
he snaps. shouting at her despite his cracking voice that hurts from the cold.
the whole library turns and just stares at them. Mae staring in hurt shock while Danny is stood glaring, which is painful for his tiredness
Once again walking away, complaining about her moody friends
but Danny ignores it. walking further into the library with the few people glancing up at the walking dead in front of them
he makes his way to the back of the library where theirs more chairs and although their are people their, he sees the only available one and drops down onto it limply
student
dude, what the ****?
student
uh, excuse me, there's someone sitting there
but Danny is already asleep. despite the what looks like uncomfortable place to sleep is in fact the most comfort hes had to sleep in what he can only tell you is years
too tired to do anything but to just lay their unconscious. not a mutter or a snore. no rumbles of hunger
anyone would thing he was dead
the teacher calls, walking down the corridor where he spots the student looking grumpy as ever
teacher
have you seen Danny? he seems to of disappeared
Mae looks at the teacher with a half glare
Mae
yeah, he wondered his morngy arss into the library for some reason I dont know
she grumbles, continuing to walk passed the teacher who looks slightly lost because of her mood
snapping from his confusion he turns around and begins to make his way there. Once their he goes up to the desk to question the where abouts of his student
teacher
hello, do you know where Daniel is?
the librarian points down to the back of the library where there are some kids making a bit of a commotion.
student
Move out of my seat jackass
teacher
language, get to lesson, all of you!
the teacher snaps at them and after a moment of complaining they leave the area, revealing a bruised and exhausted Danny
teacher
oh my god, Daniel, wake up-
he shakes the slowly waking student, panicked and worried over the state hes currently in
teacher
who did this to you?
the teacher asks as the students half lidded m, tired gaze looks up at him
he grumbles, his tone showing so much hate towards the man above.
the teacher stands their for a moment, never before hearing anything to do with religion coming from the student who's slowly putting himself back to sleep
teacher
come on, Danny, let's get you cleaned up.
the teacher reaches down and slowly helps the groaning student up
Danny
shut the **** up, your so damn loud.
he groans, rubbing the back of his head before hissing when he meets an injury
teacher
come on, let me help
the tired rebel practically sleeps on the teachers shoulder as they walk.
leaning into him as if he was an object there for him to rest on.
teacher
did you not get any sleep last night?
the teacher questions the boy who's breathing is shallow from a pain in his ribs
Danny
why the **** would you care?
he hisses at the teacher who just won't let him be.
hes exhausted and desperately needs to sleep. pulling and all nighter like that was not a good idea.
but....he simply couldn't help it
teacher
because I am your teacher !
he snaps back at his student whos insistent on having and attitude
he guids him through to the infermery and goes to set him down on a bed, but basted on how tired he is, he'll probably fall to sleep there
so he settles him on a chair instead
he complains. but his rebel, nasty attitude is dainted by the fact his eyes are red and he just looks dead
teacher
because I need you awake
he grabs some things before going back over to the boy who's got his head in his hands, trying to find some way to sleep
teacher
come on, Danny, go get a shower, it will help
this grips the boys attention.
being homeless means you don't have shit like that. he has to bathe in a freezing lake and wash his clothes there too.
the last time he used shampoo and conditioner on his now dead hair was when he was accepted onto the football team, but then they had to cut him because of his grades and his health
under the layers of clothes......hes a stick
yeah, he eats. but only things he can afford with the small amount the school gives him
teacher
now Danny, you do as your to- wait what?
the teacher stares wide eyed as the student slowly pushes himself up with a wince and then takes the things.
barely able to co-ordinate where his hand goes
he walks into the shower in the medical room and locks the door.
he smiles....he smiles because he gets to have a warm shower. even if its for this time only.
but he really does enjoy it
as soon as the hot water hits his bruised skin he moans.
the pressure like a massage on his muscles while the warmth wakes his bones up. soothing his stiff joints from being cold and uncomfortable for so long
he watches at all the dirt and grease clears from the bottom of the shower and watches the water turn clear
when he's done, he just stands there.
he doesn't want to get out but
teacher
come on, Danny, we've got someone waiting
he sighs before turning the shower off.
he steps out and looks for a towel when their isn't one
he goes to the door and opens it, the teacher looks up and is about to avert his gaze when he sees all the bruises on his body
Danny
give it a rest teach, they'll heal, im good
he rolls his eyes and dries off. not caring about the teacher before getting dressed
teacher
do you need some ice?
he reaches for the freezer but when he hears a thud he stops, turning around to see Danny has face planted the bed and is currently making his way under the covers, his head on the pillow
teacher
Danny, please get up, we've got to meet someone, then you can sleep
the teacher says, now no longer quite as annoyed at the boy who looks like he's been beaten black and blue for the whole night
teacher
may be thats why he's tired?
he asks himself in his thoughts
but he's keeping someone important waiting, so he pulls the sheet off which doesn't do anything to bother the boy, but taking his pillow does
he snaps, reaching to grab his pillow before noticing its not his pillow and his anger disintegrates
he demands. the student glaring up at him before doing as he told
Danny
he let me shower so I guess i could behave......
he thinks to himself before following his teacher out of the place he could be sleeping right now
teacher
I want you to be on your best behaviour, Danny, please!
the teacher pleads. but Dannys too tired to roll his eyes. so he just settles for a tired sigh. he's too tired to miss behave anyway
they walk through a door the Danny doesn't pay any mind to
teacher
sorry for keeping you waiting, we had....a bit of an issue to sort out first
the teacher apologises to the person who sits in the room waiting
Seb
not a problem, im sure we'll sort out every one of these problems soon
the new teacher says. looking to the dead boy who sits down and rests his head on the table with a sigh
the man asks the boy who just wants to go to sleep
the teacher cuts him off, wanting the answer to come from Danial himself
but there is no answer. Dannys face slowly begins to relax, his damn hair slipping into another position as he sinks into his arms
the teacher comments inside his head.
he looks over all of the boys features as he relaxes.
its no doubt that he hasn't slept a wink in the last twenty four hours
but he wants to talk before he let's the boy sleep
so he begins to tap on the wooden table.
nothing big. just....tapping the tips of his fingers on the table.
his movements increase, and the more they increase the more they bother the boy
he shouts. sitting up before dropping back to the table making the new teacher smirk
then he begins to use his hands and tap louder on the table.
Danny groans before hitting his own forehead on the table. the pain in his head just getting worse and worse before a book is slid between his head and the table stopping his movements
he mutters tiredly. finding sleep to be harder then it was last night
Seb
to I trounce myself and yourself to me
the teacher answers simply. but the boy is just so sickly tired
Danny
will you let me sleep if I do?
he asks, unable to force away the glossing that builds in his eyes as he looks to the tormenting teacher
Seb
are you really that tired?
the teacher asks making Danny glare
Seb
what is it that made you this tired?
he asks, but Danny just continues to glare, his head getting heavier and heavier before he falls the oposite way to the table and passes out in the chair
the teacher gasps, but the new teacher smirks
teacher
what do you mean? he just passed out-
he rolls his eyes but leans down and picks the boy up with a questioning look
Seb
hes extremely light....
he thinks to himself before making his way out of the school
Mae
oii, where the **** you taking Danny?!
he ignores the student who has made their mind up to pester his journey to his car
she snarls. but the teacher just rolls his eyes.
is all he hums making Maes jaw drop as he makes his way to his car. he places him in the back seat to lay down and gets in.
Seb
don't worry, Danial, your life is about to get very nice
he smiles, looking over to the boy with a look that would make anyone blush
and he intends on making Danny blush Many times
