Soldiers without purpose. (SwP)
Ivern was getting a hot dog from the cafeteria.
"Graduation." He said out loud.
"Are you excited?" The cafeteria lady said while she prepared his hot dog.
"Not at all." He thought.
"Yes, it's quite a honor, I can't wait to officially be a soldier." As he took his order.
"Well, you should you know! Only two of my family members ever graduated!" As she started to clean the counter.
He walked away, and tried to sit at a table alone.
It was him, that guy... God he hated him... He came out of nowhere, nobody knew him, and ever since he joined he aced out all classes, like it was nothing.
"Hey..."
"They still selling hot dogs?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I just got one."
He walked away, not a word, not a gesture, as emotionless as the first day he arrived.
I looked at him ordering, can't say I wasn't pleasantly surprised when he didn't get one, apperently I got the last one.
My luck for getting one after classes.
He sat besides me, why did he do that? Did he want my order? Was he angry I said something wrong?
"Two more hours." He said.
I ate my order, and he said nothing, didn't move, didn't talk, didn't even turn his head.
"Well..." I said, just before I wanted to stand up. "I-"
A classmate walked up.
"I didn't know you two were friends!" She said, as she sat down.
It was awkwardly silent. He didn't even move, and I didn't even know what to say.
"We are having a farewell party later tonight after graduation, will you two attend?"
"Yes." Said the guy.
"I- I will not." I said. I don't know why, I just felt like if he was coming, I shouldn't.
"That's unacceptable!" She said with a smile.
"I'm assuming you are coming after lunch! You better! We are preparing and if you don't come, I will report you to the principle, and I can still get you expelled!"
It made me shiver...
"She could..." I thought to myself.
"I- I will go." I said.
"Good! It's a date! I'll be seeing the two of you after lunch!" As she stood back up and left.
"She was joking you know." The guy said.
"No she wasn't." I said, as I stood up, and cleaned my face.
"Maybe she wasn't... Yet she wanted it to be?" He said, before I walked off.
"You better show up, or she will inquire on me." I said to have the last word.
I went to my room, I had to wear my uniform today for the first time.
"I wonder if I'll get shot the first day." He laughed.
He shrugged it off, no way they'd shoot him first...
He got dressed and quickly went to the theater hall, he didn't want her to have any excuse.
"Boo." As Quart poked his side.
"I waited for you, you know." He said.
"Asshole." I thought he wouldn't show up, he never shows up at anything.
"You can play the piano!" She said, as she directed him towards the piano.
