Meet Me In The Hallway // Throwback: Cy&Daisy
At this point, moving around the world was still new to the Crophopper family, but Cyrus knew enough to know that nothing in his life was permanent and he just had to endure this school and the people in it for however long, or short, they’d be there. He was the freaky new kid, and on top of that, the freaky new American kid with a weird accent and name. He was a prime target, and no amount of keeping his head down and staying out of the way, did Cyrus any good. It had only been a week and he was already getting picked on by the older kids. It hadn’t been too bad though, he could deal with it, he just had to ignore the teasing. And that’s what he did. He walked to class holding his stuff close to his chest, almost as if he were protecting himself with it, and he didn’t talk to anyone. It was a good strategy, except it didn’t do much when it came to doors. Some kid decided it would be funny to hit the new kid with a door and make his stuff go flying, so they waited until Cyrus was close enough that he would walk right into it without even seeing it coming. And that’s exactly what happened. Cyrus didn’t even see it coming and there was nothing he could’ve done to avoid the door when it swung towards him. All he knew was he ended up stumbling back a few steps before ending up on the ground with his papers and supplies going all over the hallway as everyone around laughed and made it a point to walk by or step on his things. And while this was the worst welcoming Cyrus had gotten from a new school, he really wasn’t surprised by it and just sat there accepting his fate as the outcast of the century, trying to gather up the things close to him and not looking at anyone. @aurorarose
