Sore

When he got to the bathrooms, Sebastian locked himself in a cabin and tried to calm down. He closed his eyes, telling himself that everything would work out, that fights between best friends were normal and soon everything would be as before. Or that was what we wanted to think. His world, which used to be pink, currently had mostly dark tones. Now little parts of it seemed nice and homey. And little by little the image of the redhead took on zero saturation.

He shook his head, ready to change his clothes before the smell of food seeped further into him. It would have been a good idea to have gone to the showers of the basketball team so that, in the same way, his well-groomed hair shed the dressing that now looked like wax. But, since his luck wasn't that good that day, he could meet the entire team and it would be another point of scorn.

After a few minutes, he left the booth and looked at himself in the mirror. The uniform was entirely black, with small details in gold and red. He found the outfit too attractive, but he would have preferred to change the sad black for a Mexican pink.

With some water he tried to fix his hair a bit so it wouldn't look so unpresentable. Fortunately, he managed to arrange it so that it did not look too dirty, although the smell of salad nobody could take it away.

He looked at himself in the mirror again and the tears did not take long in falling. As fast as they were rolling down his cheeks, he cleaned them to disappear the trace that showed that he was crying, although he was sure his swollen eyes would betray him.

"Stupid Nathaniel Moonchild", he thought.

After five minutes, he came out more calmly into the hall. He didn't feel like going to class, he did not want to see the face of his classmates and even less that of one in particular. He chose better to leave school early and go straight home, where no one would remind him of what had happened at lunchtime. However, he hoped that that day the problems at home would disappear for a few moments to let him breathe. He didn't need any more pressure at the moment. He just wanted to relax and keep the peace inside. You would probably be encouraged to cook something to keep your mind elsewhere, far away from everything.

The idea didn't sound so bad to him. How long has it been since, due to projects and meetings of the student council, he didn't prepare a dish for himself? "And to think that it was something that I recently enjoyed", he thought with a sigh as he left the school.

He could also practice his acting a bit more, he wanted to continue learning a script that he had found not long ago. In addition, he also had to organize the clothes he had bought the week before. And, in the same way, he had to keep track of the notes of the classes he had missed. This would take all his time to at least have a well-organized and understandable note. Other than that, he had to notify the other members of the student council that he would be absent from that day's session. There were too many things that, as strange as it seemed, he wanted to do again.

In less than half an hour, he had arrived home. His house was not far from the school, which he appreciated since walking for a long time under the powerful rays of the sun hurt his skin that he protected so much. Although, the walks gave him time to think about everything that was happening. It was really calming.

"I'm back" he said, passing through the big front door.

The housekeeper came out of the door into the dining room. Seeing him, she nodded and curtsied, he mimicking her action. The elderly woman walked towards him, welcoming him with love and joy. She pulled his cheeks like a six-year-old. it didn't seem uncomfortable to him, how long has it been since they pampered him?

"You came early", the woman said after releasing his cheeks. "Did something happen?"

"Everything is fine, don't worry about it", he lied, being quite obvious thanks to his smelly hair. He took her by the hand and took another bow. "I just needed to get some rest".

"Okay, do you need anything?"

"In fact," he smiled as he lifted his suitcase with his dirty uniform inside, "the clothes in the suitcase are dirty, could you help me with that?"

The woman attended, taking the suitcase and returned through the door from which she had previously entered. Sebastian walked in the direction to his room which was on the top floor. First, he would take a bath. Then he would relax and eat. Then he planned to ask for the notes and finally he would take a very long nap.

"Jade has passed me her mania of having all the activities organized by time", he thought as his cell phone vibrated in his pants. As he took it, he smiled, it seemed that he had summoned the girl with the dark hair.

Jade Sorrow: I barely heard what happened. Are you okay? – 12:46

Jade Sorrow: I think it was silly to ask that. – 12:46

Jade Sorrow: I'm sorry. – 12:46

Sebastian Sorrow: It's okay. – 12:47

Sebastian Sorrow: I mean, it wasn't my best day. Not at all. But what's done is done. – 12:47

Jade Sorrow: It seems that all your days are not the best... – 12:51

Jade Sorrow: I'm sorry to hear about that – 12:52

Jade Sorrow: But you will see that everything will be fixed very soon. – 12:52

Jade Sorrow: I have faith in it. – 12:52

For a few moments, he thought of Hirsch and the absurd fight they had that day. Foolish enough to destroy the friendship they'd built two years ago, when it was just the two of them and no one else because, in fact, he never needed someone else but his best friend.

"I would love to think the same as you, however, I have lost my faith for quite some time".

Sebastian Sorrow; Thanks for the moral support, Jade. – 12:55

Sebastian Sorrow: But... – 12:55

Sebastian Sorrow: Aren't you supposed to be in class right now? – 12:56

Jade Sorrow: I... – 13:02

Jade Sorrow: That's not important right now. – 13:02

Jade Sorrow: Your problems are the priority right now. – 13:03

Jade Sorrow: You should focus more on yourself than others. – 13:03

Jade Sorrow: Right now, you need yourself more than before. – 13:03

Sebastian Sorrow: Since when did you get so philosophical? – 13:04

Sebastian Sorrow: Have you been talking to Nathaniel Moonchild later? – 13:04

Jade Sorrow: Nothing of that. – 13:08

Jade Sorrow: I wouldn't know about Nathaniel if it weren't for you talking about him all the time. – 13:08

Jade Sorrow: You seem to like him. LOL – 13:08

Jade Sorrow: Well, I have to go to my next class. – 13:09

Jade Sorrow: Rest up and don't worry about today's meeting. I'll take care of everything. –13:09

Sebastian Sorrow: How dare you say I'm in love with him!? – 13:10

Sebastian Sorrow: Never in my life I will fall in love with someone like him. – 13:10

Sebastian Sorrow: And less of the hateful Nathaniel Moonchild! – 13:10
