"So, Is that little story you told in the group truly, or did you just make it up as you went along?" Caster said, Pointing at Nicoli with his fork.
"No, It was true I don't have the best parenting figure," Nicoli said shoving chicken into his mouth as an excuse not to talk.
"Well eat up cuz next is our free period so we like to throw medicine balls at each other, We call it extreme dodgeball" Caster said chuckling at Nicoli.
Nicoli swallowed hard, He stared at Caster, Nicoli's radioactive green eyes twitched as he panicked in his own head.
(Snap) (Snap) "Ay, You in their kid? It'll be fine, we only got sent to the ER Once or twice." Caster said, trying to relax Nicoli.
"That isn't helping," Nicoli said. "and stop smiling at me, It's creepy." Caster ignored him and kept smiling with his four-canine smirk.
"Ay, don't worry about it, Little guy." Caster said, Truly messing up Nicoli's curly, raven hair.
"Have you ever thought of cutting your hair?, You kinda look like a girl." Caster said, allowing Nicoli's hair to slowly slide, off his hand.
'He's not wrong' Nicoli thought.
His hair fell down to his shoulder blades and probably would be longer if it wasn't curly.
"It is pretty tough; I've never known hair to shine purple in the light." Caster said, pulling Nicoli's hair to the candle upon the table to demonstrate his point.
"Alright, that's enough," Nicoli said, Pulling a rubber band out of his pocket.
"Now I'll just put this back so you stop playing w-" "Ay, I didn't know that they allowed girls here, I call dibs." A loud noise called from the table behind them cutting Nicoli off mid-sentence.
Nicoli just sighed and continued putting up his hair. Caster on the other hand was dying of laughter.
"HAHAHA, They actually think you're a girl, HAHAHA." Caster continued to laugh.
Nicoli just rolled his eyes; Then all of a sudden the boy that yelled a moment ago, Grabbed Nicoli's ponytail and yanked it down, As to begin to tangle his fingers in Nicoli's hair.
"You've got pretty hair, You should keep it down all the time." The boy said, A little closer to Nicoli's ear than he was comfortable with.
Suddenly Caster stopped laughing.
"Ay, That's enough, Calling him a girl is funny, unwillingly fondling his hair and invading his personal space is borderline harassment." Caster said, slamming his hands on the table.
"I'm just playing, I mean no harm," the boy said, Letting go of Nicoli's hair. "Although if you're ever interested the name's Mak," Mak whispered desperately to Nicoli.
The boy then turned around and walked back to his table.
"Sorry about him, He's a little troubled and doesn't understand the difference between joking and harassing." Caster apologized, Rubbing the back of his head.
Nicoli could see that he was actually sorry from the look of his neon yellow eyes.
"On a different note, Have you ever wondered why our city is swarmed in persistent darkness? It seems like something that's rather interesting but is rather overlooked as if we're in a book and the original plot has been backdated." Nicoli said, looking out the window. "That's stupid, why would people care about that; if that was so, the reader is probably too entertained to care." Caster said, waving his hand around.
