(So I decided that sense this is a kid/High school that for this being only the third chapter I will walk you guys through Carlos's school day I think ill do this every so often like for those school occasions like pep rallies, School games, dances, all that good stuff so it doesn't get all dull and boring and bluh so in this chapter ill be working on his and Cecil's friendship and then eventually it will turn into those gay boys we love :3. Once again debuing in the picture is Tealpirate and Okellyjaneo from Parle Pro.)
I walked with Cecil to my first class which was Algebra which I was okay with but struggled if it wasn't explained well, I got a bit lost and confused but when I gave Cecil the paper with my classes on it he seemed to grow more chipper, my theory is that we might have a class or several classes together. He folded the paper up and gave it back to me and I slid it back in my pocket, Cecil grabbed my hand "Come on it's this way! You'll like our teacher he's really cool" I made a soft sound as Cecil pulled me forward egarly well I guess this proves my theory it seems I have my first class with Cecil meaning he'll want me to sit by him or he'll introduce me to the class and I'll most likely go all awkward turtle because I'm really not that good with people and I don't do well with attention but I did as Cecil said and quickly followed the blonde to our class when it came to going into the class slowly as people stared at me "Thank you Cecil." I said softly he nodded "Hey Carlos there a seat next open next to me if you need a friend to sit by" He said pointing to the seat, I nodded and smiled out him "Thank you so much Cecil" he nodded and walked to his seat, as he walked to his seat I noticed that there was few kids who taunted him , threw things at him and things of that nature Carlos looked at him strange.
Cecil blushed and ducked his head down a bit, the teacher walked in "Alright class calm down ..oh you must be the new kid Carlos right?" I nodded "Yes sir" someone chucked something at Cecil and the whole class began to laugh, the teacher sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "Class!" He hollered, the room instantly grew quiet "Please leave mister Palmer alone..and please give our new student a night vale welcome!" The kids stood up and surrounded carlos in a large circle.
At this point Carlos could feel his heart pounding within the confines of his chest as the kids lifted some appendage and pointed at him as the blankly stared at him as they shouted "INTERLOPER!"~taken from the 54 episode 'a carnival comes to town'~
Carlos froze and for a second it felt like he couldn't breathe! He looked around for Cecil, he spotted him, he was just sitting at his desk looking worried as he watch the class step closer to Carlos and yell "INTERLOPER!", Carlos broke from the circle and quickly sat down by Cecil and took a breath, the class looked at him weird and sat down as the teacher clapped his hands "okay that's enough of that..... now today's lesson.." that's when Carlos tuned the teacher out and turned towards Cecil and whispered "What was that all about, Cecil?" Cecil looked at Carlos with pure confusion "What do you mean" Carlos leaned towards the semi-blonde haired boy "The thing that just happened like a few seconds ago you know how the class got up formed a circle around me and yelled Interloper at me" Cecil giggled "Oh that, that's just how we great people here in Night Vale, it's our friendly way of saying hi!" Carlos quirked an eyebrow "If that was friendly then I'm scared of what a un-friendly way of saying hi is" Cecil giggled again biting his tongue slightly as he laughed, in a attempt to stifle the laughter coming from the boy.
Carlos smiled as he heard the boys attempt to cover his giggle fit, Cecil let out a breath and shook his head "I like you" he boldly stated, i quirked my eyebrow "Thanks?" Cecil nodded and his attention returned his attention to the teacher and the rest of the day went slowly, i had at least four of my seven classes with Cecil and kept things..interesting for awhile but our conversations always ended in a awkward silence but I felt like we would eventually get over that if and when we ever actually become 'friends' right now we're kind of at a warm acquaintances stage.
The most interesting thing is that at lunch I sat with Cecil, His friend Earl who had a knack for telling story that involved him being a boy scout. Earl often told stories that made it sound like he was more then a mere boy-scout but hey I guess every boy-scout troop is different in each state, i know this for a fact because my family moved like were gypsies and I had lived in a fair amount of states and along the way I had a few friends who were boy-scouts and they had a tendency to tell stories about their troop camping trip or whatever they were actually called. I also met Cecil's sister (shes briefly mentions by Steve Carlsburg in one of the bonus episodes) her name slips me but she was pretty and a very sweet girl, her boyfriend Steve was interesting and very intelligent about what exactly what was going on in Night Vale but others seemed to shun him and Cecil seemed to loathe him entirely but I don't quite understand why but then again why would I, I'm an outsider.
Also through out the day I seemed to get small groups of people who would form a semi-circle or a complete circle, this depended on how many people were in said group and they would point at me and shout "INTERLOPER!" it made me question rather or not these people actually know the meaning of the word, I assumed not but I got used to it and eventually I pointed back and softly said "Interloper?" questioningly and they just left me alone so now i just said it back to anyone who pointed at me and shouted "INTERLOPER!" yeah it was a bit strange but I was being to learn not to question many things here in Night Vale because either people didn't know or they would just give you a weird look and ignore the fact that you even asked said question.
Even with my first day I figured out who I liked and who I didn't and it figured I kinda fit in with the outcast of the school, they were outcasted for not being strange enough: there was Cecil who had razor sharp teeth, two dead eyes and one working one which happened to be placed on the middle of his forehead, and markings on his skin. Then there was Earl who seem like me completely not from here, normal, no genetic mutation just a tendency to talk to much or to less or sometimes not all. There was more but I didn't really get to learning their names because really I related most to these two boys, well really just Earl but Cecil had been so nice to me sense the beginning and I would feel bad for ditching him for someone he was friends with.
It looks like I was stuck with him not that I minded it he was very nice, always so chipper, it brightened my mood and brought me outside of my shell that I was fighting to say inside it while around him. So in all yeah I say it was a fairly 'normal' day, yes at it was strange, very very strange! But honestly I've never felt more accepted and loved in a place other then Night Vale it was like this place was my home and I was happy and hurt by this fact happy because I finally found a place where I belong but sad because eventually I knew that we would move away and I would never see this...interesting place again but for now I'm going to hold on to the feeling of having somewhere where I feel I belong, even if it's for god knows how long! I'll still be happy because I know that someday I'll come back to this place, this place where I'm loved by nearly everyone.
Yes I think I'm going to like it here in this strange little desert town called Night Vale.
