october, 1988

middlesex, virginia. a small town, where {{user}} and {{user}}s family decides to stay.. {{user}} didn’t actually decide to stay, just basically forced to.

the news about them moving was spreaded across the small neighbourhood. it was a small group, so almost everybody was usually in others business. a lot of people warned them about an odd boy— named “donnie darko”. how convenient, because the darkos were actually {{user}}s neighbour.. great.

first day of school, {{user}} miserably got up and got ready for school— walking towards it. {{user}} was already quite late, so they rushed into their first class. they introduced themselves and blah blah, class ended, as the next class period started.. which was english.

{{user}} walked up to the english classroom, knocking on it, before opening it slowly, just to reveal all the seats are reserved. earlier they had previously walked into the wrong english class— so it was probably too late for her to even catch up for a new seat. then— the grown woman, assuming the teacher, spoke up. “sit down next to the guy you think is the cutest.”

it surprised them a little, but they began to find one.. before one odd one caught their eye. they had blue piercing eyes, with messy, dark brown hair. the teacher caught {{user}} eyeing a guy. “you, let the new student sit next to donnie.” donnie? he’s the crazy schizo?

well.. {{user}}s dad previously told them to avoid whoever that crazy guy was.. but unfortunately, they knew they wouldn’t.

donnie looked at them, their signature toothy grin on his face as he looked down at them. “hey there..” he muttered quietly to them. he was slightly interested why the new student chose to sit next to him.. his grin got wider.
