It's been two weeks lol

Monday morning (and the end of his suspension) rolled around quicker than Keith could have expected. Despite needing another couple days off, he walked into school with his headphones over his ears. He was blasting All Time Low, specifically the Future Hearts album, and bobbing his head in time with the beat. It only took a few steps for him to realise that people were looking at him. Usually, people only ever looked in his direction long enough to say something horrible. Instead, they were whispering to each other whilst staring and, somehow, it was worse. Even when Keith pushed his headphones down to his neck, he had no idea what they were talking about.

It was only when he reached his locker that someone said something to him. It wasn’t a nice thing either. “Oi, weirdo. I’m surprised you’re still here.” One glance to the side let Keith know it was Lotor with his usual obnoxious expression of a smirk.

“Huh?” Keith couldn’t help but reply, furrowing his eyes in confusion.

“What I meant was, I’m surprised you haven’t off-ed yourself yet. With a psychotic dad and all.” Keith froze in the middle of opening his locker. “I mean, why don’t you both just kill yourself and free the world from two more weirdos?”

“How do you…” Keith trailed off, unsure how to phrase the question.

“You really thought you could trust Lucia? She told us everything.” With that, Lotor grinned and walked down the hall with his head held high. Keith swallowed and blinked back angry tears.
