"Hey, Heyyyy Virgil! Wait uuuupp!"

Slightly alarmed, the boy in question stopped in front of the crosswalk, looking over at the person in the distance who was shouting his name. Luckily, it was his next door neighbor and good friend since they were children, Patton.

Patton's a nice kid, always taking care of others, always smiling, even kind of having a personality of the typical "dad" friend.

He was almost an opposite to Virgil, who was what people considered an "emo," having eyeshadow underneath his eyes and listening to bands that are stereotypically under that category.

To Virgil, Patton was that one friend that you wouldn't think about making in high school considering the differences, but it works out anyways since when you've known them for so long.

Patton caught up with him with his bright and happy smile, catching his breath before speaking. "I overslept again! But I caught you here this time, Virge!"

"Maybe that's because I stopped and waited for you, Pat." Virgil jokingly said back as the two crossed the crosswalk to their school.

"That makes you sound like you were gonna ignore me, meanie." Patton jokingly replied back, adjusting his glasses

"Well if your getting stared at for yelling my name like a crazy person, I don't want people to think we're a couple or anything."

The two were silent on the rest of their walk to the school. They used to do stuff like this all the time when they were younger, walking to and from school, but they slowly stopped doing it when they got to highschool since Patton had his clubs and other things to do.

When they were nearing the school, Patton suddenly spoke up. "Hey Virgil, what club are you going to join? You promised you would join a club this year."

"I did?" Virgil didn't remember Patton mentioning any clubs in any conversations they've had recently, but now that he thought about it.....

"Oh wait, yeah I did sorry Pat." Virgil admitted.

"It's alright, kiddo!" Patton smiled, the two entering the school. "Maybe you could join my club, we've been thinking about a new member joining."

Virgil shook his head. "Sorry, I'm not interested in literature. I'll check out another one."

"Virge please, it's really fun I swear and-"

The bell rung, cutting Patton off. "At least think about it." And with that, Patton ran off to class, Virgil heading off to his own as well, not wanting to be late.
