And while his harsh tone was probably brought on by projecting, letting out his frustration for his current situation; DRAGGED to yet another town,  s h o v e d  o f f  to extended family he’d never met or even heard of. OR CARED ABOUT.             @ragedaughter  |  [ x. ]

     EXPELLED. He may as well be  d e a d  to the administration. If his father didn’t manage that, they’d be UP AND OUT of there, on their way to the  n e x t  t o w n .  Shoulders shrugged in answer, alongside his response,  i n c o m p l e t e  in truth. “DOESN’T MATTER, REALLY.”            @snckeshed  |  [ x . ]

     MARK’S LAUGHTER MATCHES UP TO WILL’S, muffled as he takes another swig, letting the alcohol run down his throat. “How the  h e l l  are we gonna pay for that?”           @gxostbyerss | [ x. ]

     BEING LOCKER NEIGHBORS made things difficult. Mark couldn’t even shove his stuff away and grab a notebook for class before the questions were  d a r t i n g  towards him, PIERCING eyes prying at the purple skin that  l a c e d  his eye.

      “EASY. ‘OL MAN’S GOT A SAW.” a simple, meaningless shrug. It wasn’t very  w e l l  thought through; though rarely was anything Mark did  t h o u g h t  t h r o u g h . Of course they’d have to KNICK the thing of his dad first ( if you can grab his  g u n s  you can grab his  s a w ) .  “Avoid  c o n s u m e r i s m ,  stick it to the man, RIGHT?”              @babysitwithabat  |  [ x . ]

        ❝ Besides, that would just give you a reason to punch me back, or            even stab me with your knives. & I’m not in the mood for that. I’ll            save that for a survivor stupid enough to try it... ❞
