“My god,” he muttered under his breath as he sat up, nausea setting in his stomach. Silas had just returned to the school after a brief visit back home; it was cut short and the bruised chin and cut lip were enough the explain why. His father had blacked out, something him and his mother could easily identify in his father’s behavior when it happened. He never hit him, this was the first time. And nothing felt worse than the feeling the altercation left him with. Since arriving back to campus, he hid out in his room and replayed that moment in his mind; tears rolling from his eyes and down his cheeks.
Finding himself unable to remain locked up in his room any longer, Silas left his dorm and made way for the school store. He was sporting a fitted white shirt and his grey joggers, a few pieces of hair sticking up in a messy way. His appearance never bothered the lad though. Besides, all he really wanted was some snacks before returning to his room to watch a movie or something else. With a small container of hot cocoa mix he rounded the corner for another aisle, immediately bumping into another. “You scared the hell out of me,” Silas stated and looked to the other with a small smile. “Sorry. The store was super quiet… thought I was the only one. You on a snack run too?”
The girl was too in her moods to even enjoy anything outside of the cello, she was too busy either sulking or snappy to even get into an actual conversation with another human. The thought of home always lingering in her mind as she missed it dearly but her grandparents being who they were, didn’t allow her return, the one place that reminded her of safety - which should’ve been an understated to her - has been taken away and she wasn’t in the mood or had the heart to be nice to anyone who crossed her path in those moments. She was in the school store for god knows what as she didn’t even live on campus anymore. Maybe to pass by her time but she was reading labels and running her fingers across whatever when she bumped into another, making her face him as she definitely did not see him. “Maybe watch your steps next time,” she snapped in a growl before rolling her eyes. “No, I am not.”
