After School - Open Starter

The school day was not supposed to end with the final bell. Not on Wednesdays. Never on Wednesdays. Enjolras was supposed to be on his way to the History room. He should have run into Combeferre at his locker, then go meet up with Courfeyrac so they could all walk in together and get the meeting started. But that wasn’t what he was doing. Instead, he was half-heartedly trudging towards the school’s entrance. He wasn’t even allowed to drive. The bus was going to be hell.

He sighed, standing at the top of the stairs. Everything in him was screaming to go back. The doctor said no more meetings with Les Amis until he’d had enough time to heal. ‘You don’t want to get yourself too worked up,’ he’d told him. Apparently. Enjolras couldn’t remember, but his mom insisted that she was in the room when he said it. She was determined to uphold that rule, too. So, he couldn’t go to the meeting. But leaving so soon on a Wednesday just felt wrong. The late bus was leaving in a couple hours. He could find something to do until then.

Pretty soon, he found himself walking down the hall, peeking into each room to see if there was anything he could do. It felt a little bizarre. Being alone in the hallway was nothing new, but when he walked around during study hall, it never felt this empty. When he finally turned a corner and came across another person, he smiled.

“Hey, um...on your way to anything? Or are you just walking around?”

The Art Room

Connor pulled out his sketchbook. After school was the perfect time to get some peace and quiet to work on his drawings. Waiting for Zoe after jazz band wasn’t all bad, most days. 

He pulled out his sketchbook, charcoals, pencils, and erasers. He scattered them over the table. No one was around to ask for more space. His current work looked back up at him. 

A tree. A huge oak tree to send to Evan. If Connor remembered right, his birthday was coming up, and it would be a nice gesture. He smiled and got to work.

Gas Station

@sdhs-jasondean

Davey had just started his shift when none other than Jason Dean walked through the door. He recognized the boy from his classes last year, Jason would always skip them and get in fights. They’d never really talked much, different interests Davey guessed. But, since he was here, Davey might as well make some small talk with the guy and try to get to know him.

Courtyard

Carrie was sitting outside. Letting the cool air tickle the back of her neck, while the rest of her was wrapped nice and snug in a big sweater, leggings, and a long skirt. No book out on her lap today, just sitting and enjoying God’s work. Soon it would be way too cold to do that, then her and Momma would be in the trailer every day, wrapped in blankets, reading, praying, knitting, sewing. But for now, it was the beginnings of Autumn.

A Little Help

OPEN STARTER

It was hard to see where he was going with all the boxes he was carrying, stacked up in his arms. They were just three but quite big. Filled with supplies for Coach's next class. For a guy with a cast, it was a surprise he'd managed this far but then he tripped and one of the boxes fell over. "Oy lo." He mumbled, peering over the second box to look for the third. Thank God they're all tapped. But it would be hell trying to get it. He lifted his head and saw a person approaching. "Um, e-excuse me! Can you--? Um. Can you help me?"

Homesick

Jared hated this school. So what if he’d only been there a week? That was enough time to know that something was terrible. Sure, it was lonely back home, but at least people knew him, kids and teachers alike. At least they knew his sense of humor, and occasionally laughed at his jokes, and didn’t give him shit for making stupid, sarcastic comments that weren’t supposed to mean anything. 

He sat in the locker room in silence. The sound of the Phys Ed class he was supposed to be participating in was muffled through the wall. Later, he’d claim that he just didn’t feel like exercising and make some snide comment about the teacher and his stupid gym shorts. That was a safe way to go about it. Never admit defeat. Never let them know you’re hiding.

All he wanted was to get out of there, to go home. But he was stuck. And now, it felt like hiding was all he could do. What he didn’t expect was to hear the sound of footsteps echoing through the locker room. Nobody else was supposed to be in there. Hopefully, whoever it was would leave, soon. Doing his best to keep quiet, he pulled his knees up to his chest and held perfectly still, waiting for the sound to fade away.

study hall

The band room was almost always empty during study hall. Zoe often snuck in, relishing the silence in a place where it seemed like everyone was always screaming. Sometimes she would get work done or get a quick nap in, but today she was sat against the wall with her guitar. Zoe was originally working on a song she had to write for music theory, but when that quickly became difficult and tiring, she resorted to jamming out a little. She was so into the music, she didn’t notice the door creaking as someone entered the room.

Enclosure

Enjolras’ first day back at school could have been going better, but it could have been much worse. The teachers were understanding, and while someone, in the time he’d been gone, had claimed his seat in History class for herself, he was mostly able to fall back into his old routine. He kept quieter than usual, and took note of a few things to go back and look up online because the rest of the class understood it way quicker than he did, but aside from that, it was all fine.

That was, until Zoology class. He had decided to take it on a whim, figuring it would at least challenge him, but it had turned out to be a massive disappointment. And when the teacher walked in and announced that they would be doing a group project, the audible groan of the class was a pretty accurate depiction of what was going on in his head. Sure, a couple of his friends were in this class, but the odds of pulling any of their names out of the stupid hat in the from of the room were slim to none. When his name was called out, he slowly made his way up from the back row, grabbed one of the little slips of paper, and rushed to his desk before even opening it. He took a deep breath, unfolded it, and scowled at Heather McNamara lazily scribbled on it in red pen. With a sigh, he made his way to her, dropping it on her desk. 

“Well, looks like we’re partners.”

We need to talk. Now.

@sdhs-enjolras

Connor paced around in the empty parking lot of the school. He needed to talk to Enjolras. The cool autumn air whipped at the back of his neck. He needed to talk to Enjolras now. He had seen his friend in the hall with that guy that Connor’d been talking to outside by the dumpster. He couldn’t explain it, but something about JD made his blood run cold. He got goosebumps just thinking about some of the things that JD had said to him. And the rest of the school seemed to be on edge around him. So it wasn’t just Connor. Not at all. 

It wasn’t a big deal that Enj was dating someone. What was a big deal was that it was JD.

In the Library

They were out in full force today. Cris, Sue, the Heathers, all of them. And they were all picking on her, today of all days. So Carrie went the one place she knew she’d be safe from them. Into the back corner of the library, where the fantasy books were. They wouldn’t find her here. No one ever did. 

She opened up The Hobbit. She’d read it four or five times already, but she couldn’t help it. She really couldn’t, she loved it so much. She loved reading about Bilbo and the dwarves and Gandalf traveling so far away from home and having the adventures of their lives. A little on the nose, escaping into books, but that was what made her happy.

She looked up from her book. Someone was here.

The Park

The park was one of the best parts of this town. At least for Evan and he was bias when it came to these things. He loved coming here by himself. Especially the first time he'd moved into town. There was a sense of familiarity that grounded him to the present, keeping him calm. Nowadays, however, he was simply there for the ducks. Evan was crouched near the pond, a can of corn tucked in his arm with his free hand feeding the waddling creatures. Sometimes children came up to feed them too. The person next to him was not a child from the looks of it but Evan still stopped to offer his can and motioned with his head at the ducks, "W-Would you like to feed them?"

Open Starter

Room 113 had to be around here somewhere. Jared’s eyes darted from his already-wrinkled schedule to each seemingly identical door as he walked slowly through the hallway. It was bad enough that his dad’s job had transferred him a few weeks into the school year; now he couldn’t even find his way around. Absolutely. Fucking. Perfect. 105, 106, 109, wait, shit, what happened to 107 and 108? This school was clearly not built with convenience in mind. As he reached an intersection, it was just another game of guess-and-check. There was a 50/50 chance of going the right way. Those were pretty solid odds, he figured, but once he took a right, the first door read 132. Okay, other way, no problem. 

Backtracking and going straight, he was sure that now, the right room would be coming up any second. But, he was quickly greeted with room 83, as if that made any sense. Okay, back to square one. 132, 131, 130, 129, and then a corner, and then...stairs. Just some fucking stairs. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” His eyes darted back down to his schedule. History - Honey - Room 113.

Rewind

Enjolras had a complicated relationship with the school cafeteria. On the one hand, it was a place where he could sit with his friends and catch up. Amis meetings were only on Wednesdays, after all, and lunch was a perfect time to reconnect with each other the rest of the week. Getting such a large group together to hang out otherwise was a scheduling nightmare, and the summer had been way too long. Seeing them all together again was amazing. 

But...the cafeteria itself was loud, and crowded, and the central hub for a massive, ridiculous high school hierarchy that Enjolras hated. Everything was alright this year, and it had been for a while, but it wasn’t always that way. He had friends now, but he’d sat alone in the corner long enough to instinctively feel uncomfortable whenever he walked in.

Just as he was about to sit down in his regular seat, his eyes darted over to the corner. There was someone there. Alone. A boy who Enjolras was sure he’d seen in the hallway before but never really talked to. His back was turned to the rest of the room and his long hair fell over his face, and he just looked...so sad.

“Guys, excuse me for a minute...” He clutched his bagged lunch and flashed a smile at Combeferre and Courfeyrac to assure them that everything was alright, then made his way over to that lonely table. He stood by the seat directly in front of the boy, but didn’t sit down just yet. “Hey...is this seat taken?”

Out by the Dumpster

Connor pulled a joint from his pocket and leaned against the cafeteria dumpster. Neither Enjolras nor Evan would approve of him cutting class, especially to smoke, but it wouldn’t matter. He needed this right now. He lit up the joint and took a puff.

Then saw this kid he’d never seen before. Jesus. Another new kid? What was it with this year? “Hey. Congrats, you found the best place to ditch.”
