Meeting Dave-- Peter Mark imagine

This is how I imagined Peter and Dave meeting.

Words: 304

His first day at school—again. This is the fifth middle school he’s gone to. Fun. Peter moved around a lot, a total perk of being a military child. New school, same story. Why bother caring at that point?

He sighed and threw on his leather jacket. It looked strange on him, it looked way too big to be his size. It shouldn’t matter anyways. He’d always look strange. No matter what he’d do, what school he went to, he’d always be an outcast. Being disproportionately short for his age, girls didn’t like him. He didn’t get along with other guys either. They all called him ‘mean’ or ‘annoying’. But he wasn’t. At least he didn’t think so. It’s not his fault they can’t handle him.

He stepped out his apartment door, alone. His brothers had already left so he was just left to walk by himself. He didn’t really mind to be honest. He would rather be alone than deal with those three busting his balls. The morning was quiet—peaceful. The most peaceful he’s had in a while. 

It remained that way until some kid caught his attention. He had to run to catch up to Peter. He tapped on his shoulder, breathing heavily, “hey you….you’re new right?”

Peter stopped and turned around to look at him. The only two things Peter cared enough to note was the fact that he was fat and blonde—oh and that he also looked like an outcast. He didn’t even try to put on a nice face, it’d be pointless anyways. Why bother making friends or connections? He’ll just end up moving again. He always did. “...yeah. What’s it to you?”

The kid caught his breath, “uh…uh…no reason…just never seen ya before.”

Peter rolled his eyes, “well now you have.” He continued his walk to the school.
