Take a Walk in the Light

Sign Ups {OPEN}

It was the opening ceremony for this boarding school. A golden ribbon was in front of the front doors. A man with a business shoes had a pair of giant scissors. Students were starting to gather at the front. The man chuckled, they all had different expressions. Some had confidence in their eyes and many had defiance splattered across their faces.

Fawke was in his father's beaten up car. As he was pulled up to the front, his father shoved him out and drove off. Fawke stumbled but looked up. The man had a scizor standing next to him, holding a tray of golden rings.

A young boy made his way into the sea of fresh new faces with heaving breath. He secured the bag strap tightly to his body before revealing a big enthusiastic smile on his face. The excitement in everyone's voice started to ring in his ears, yet, he kept a positive outlook on his possible future. He then peeked above everyone's head to find the sight of a man standing behind a large door. The sound of another vehicle suddenly pulling up on the sidewalk snapped his attention from the man to the bruised vehicle. A kid popped out of the car a moment later before his guardian drove off. Damian rushed to the new kid with a neutral expression. "Hey, are you alright?" He holds out a hand for him.

Fawke's heart skipped a beat, he stumbled backwards, braced for impact, but a smeargle caught him. Another man was smiling behind him. "Oopsies." Was the only thing the man said before walking off. Fawke faced the boy. "Y- yeah. I'm fine." Fawke's red and white was a bit dirty, but he managed to smile. "I'm Fawke, what's your name?" There was a weary curiousity in Fawke's eyes.

Dustin looks around, hands in his pockets. He does his best to stay at the back of the crowd, glaring defiantly at the man at the gate. He clenches his jaw, trying to think of a way he could get out of this. He starts backing away, and turns around, almost running directly into Damian and Fawkes. Dustin yelps in surprise, but then covers his mouth, embarrassed that such a noise came from his mouth.

"...Arceus, you scared me!" Dustin annoyedly huffs, glancing down at Damian and Fawkes. "...You guys wanna ditch this place?"

Fawke glances at him, once again, stunned after being knocked down. A small red tattoo on his forehead slightly peeks out, but Fawke shakes his head to cover it again.
"...There's a good boba place nearby. My favorite is the kelpsy. I'll pay if you want. Oh, and... what's your name?"
