We’re Not in Kansas Anymore | Travanis | Prologue | Open |

Bleary blinking green eyes open to look around warily at the classroom around the half awake and extremely confused Southern boy. What was that dream..? What was real and what was fake, everything seemed like a jumbled mess and it didn’t help Travanis’ head was pounding like a damn drum solo.

“My head... What’n the hell happ’nd to me..?”

More importantly, WHERE was he? He looked around confused, blinking and trying his hardest to get his bearings. This sure wasn’t Hope’s Peak, but it wasn’t a high school back home either, the classroom seemed too off from that notion. So where the hell..? Trav mumbled quietly to himself.

“Toto, I don’ think we’re in Kansas no more...”

Winter | Poem Reading Thread | Chapter 2 Open

Travanis’ leg kept bouncing in his chair as he held his notebook tightly, knuckles becoming paler as he held tightly to it. He had felt so confident about writing that poem no more than a day ago, but suddenly he was freezing up. Would they be able to tell? Even he wasn’t 100% sure if he was able to accept what the poem had helped him realize. Well it wasn’t just the poem.. THANKS BETH.

Regardless, he reluctantly stood when it was his chance and mussed with his hair a bit. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he prepared to read.

“Uh this is my poem, it’s called “Winter” and I hope that you guys like it.”

He gulped a bit, trying not to focus on the staring of his fellow classmates. After a clearing of his throat he began to read.

“The winter around me is colder than the tundra I fear the cold outside I fear the stares of judgement For the feelings in my heart Here I am looking through the window The reality outside scares me I am afraid to accept the motions of my world But I can hope that the world is good Accepting of the inner machinations of my heart And that my feelings will have prevailed against the harshness outside But for now I stay inside While the icy winds whip outside”

After he read he quickly bowed and rushed back to his seat. He was actually AFRAID of the responses his classmates might have. So what do you all think?
