If I can\'t see you.. You can\'t see me

If I can’t see you, you can’t see me… Quietly I slip into class with the bulk of my peers, unnoticed by the chattering mass as I take my seat in the back of the room, pulling out my gameboy and slouching in my seat to make myself the smallest target possible.

Riiiing

The bell finally silences the student body as the teacher walks to the front of the class; beginning a lecture on Shakespearean plays. Easy, simple… boring. My attention is mostly focused on levelling the Pokémon in my newly formed party but I take mental notes on the lecture even if I know most of it already.

Everyone level fifteen? The bell rings again to signal that it’s time to move on. Another boring lecture. More levels. The bell rings, move, pop quiz, bell, lecture. The schedule is utterly monotonous. When the bell rings for a two hour break I scurry off outside to find the shade of a tree distanced perfectly from the school and other children. Near silence, can’t you sense the bliss?

Two girls walk by me a few feet away not noticing the figure in the striped shirt playing the gameboy. I can hear them chattering on about some new blond kid… Oh yay, another guy for all the girls to swoon over until we get the next new kid. I would say something to them but I don’t see the point, they’ll only think me strange for barging into their private conversation and snub me anyways. I turn back to my game just as I notice a slight figure emerging from the front door.

“Hello noobie.” I murmur under my breath, chuckling until I realize he’s coming my way… great.

At the last moment he turns after being called, did they just call him marshmallow? Man, he’s already got a sucky name. By this point I’m almost done with Pokémon and it’s getting boring anyways, time to switch to something else. I dig in my pocket for a moment before pulling out a new cartridge to swap yet the bell rings. I curse. Oh well, I’ll just play in class anyways.

My stomach growls and I realize that I forgot to snag something to eat. Guess I’ll be off on a snack raid tonight. The three classes before dinner don’t take too long and I stop by the cafeteria for a brief moment to grab a sandwich before going back out to my tree to enjoy the cool evening without distractions. The food was barely a snack but it’ll hold me over until everyone’s cleared out.

The final bell sings that curfew is now in effect and that everyone must now return to their rooms or suffer punishment for being caught up. I stay in my haven for a little while longer and watch as my breath starts to curl in heated puffs. It’s going to be chilly tonight…

Darkness and near complete silence dawns on the house before I finally walk back inside - no need to bother locking it- only people that need to know where Wammy’s is actually know the location. As I walk into the kitchen I realize the new kid is sitting on the counter, apparently having just raided the chocolate drawer due to a huge pile in his lap and even more next to him.

He looks up in shock and fear when he notices my appearance but I just ignore him and he realizes he’ll have no problems from me. I steal a chocolate bar from him and grin at his obvious displeasure - he looks like he’s ready to kill me but I know he won’t. It’s too quiet and if either of us were to make any noise we’d likely be caught. Chips, an apple, and two more sandwiches compose the meal that will substitute both my lunch and dinner. Before I even finish up he’s long gone and I eat my chocolate bar as I head back into my room, taking off my sneakers at the door and glaring as I realize I’ve got a new roommate. Guess who, no prizes for getting it right though.

I huff silently and change my clothes so that I’ll sleep in tomorrow’s outfit- no need for a shower since he’ll probably steal it anyways. Guess I’ve still got the top bunk. With a full stomach and already half lidded eyes I fall asleep in no time.
