It had been a couple years and cupid had been completely comforted into his lifestyle within New York. He had begun to get ready to get out his house to grab a bite to eat. then go on the subway to the local neighborhood basketball court where he met George someone else who would also be trying out for the basketball team as George had convinced cupid to try out for it as he thought he had a chance by this time. Cupid was 5 ft 8 going into high school which was quite tall for going into highschool.Cupid being persuaded by Georges words took them to heart and he confirmed his decision within his innerself.Then after playing basketball he would go and ride around new York on his bike just sight-seeing he found this one spot on top of a building where he could just see the night skies and the stars on top the stars he wished he could be he wished he could be a star but not knowing what he meant at the time.
It was 6:15 AM Cupid's alarm clock woke him up he stayed up the night before overthinking about the whole situation not knowing exactly what he was going to see or who he was going to meet his thoughts constantly rolled over themselves himself succumbing to the negativity. Thats why the night before he escaped to the building where he could see the stars and lay upon the summer breeze all by himself free from others or restraints. Something he was sure that school would make him feel like he was constantly restrained. Though it didn't matter what he thought at that time today was the day the day he finally went into a school building besides that horrible fucking place he went too growing up. Eventually after a couple minutes cupid got up it was 6:18 he had to be at school at 8:15 he was determined to make an impression unto other students or at least make himself feel like he would or could stand out and be someone different.
He went down to the kitchen where he saw his mom was making breakfast along with his grandpa reading the newspaper. His grandpa was the only person he ever knew in his life to still read the newspaper although it does make sense, he grew up in a different era then him. His mom was making bacon and waffles his favorite. "Today's finally the day isn't its son the day you go to high school are you ready honey "Said cupids' mom with eagerness and kindness in her sincere tone. "Yea sonny you got to meet a couple cute girls maybe I'll even have grandchildren too "Said grandpa and then after he gave out a hearty laugh. While cupid's mom hit him with the spatula because of him saying a comment like that. Though both their eyes turned their directions towards cupid just waiting for his answer and reaction. "Well, I'm going to try and make at least one friend thanks for the food though mom "Said cupid with gratefulness in his voice. As they continued to talk until 6:50 when cupid had to leave to exit his house the subway was a 20-minute bikeride.Cupid thought about all sorts of things on this bike ride while the summer wind hit his eyes and body thinking back specifically to how school was for him before swearing it would never turn out the same.

He eventually got off his bike and arrived at the subway station seeing George there they discussed high school. "Hey, can you believe it cupid it's our first day I'm on class A-1 what about you. "Said george"Im on class E-1 damn I'm all the way the opposite side of school to you bro I don't think we'll see each other often maybe at lunch though. "Said cupid "Damn yea your right also the practice to apply for the team go to the student services after school ends well see each other at lunch though tell me how it goes for you. "Said George "Yea maybe well even get you a girlfriend George a girlfriend that looks as much of a monkey as you. "Said cupid smiling. "Hey buddy guess were going to have to see who can get more girls numbers then huh "Said George "Alright you're on, "Said cupid. By this time cupids looks had really started to come in his mid-length black hair and black eyes and jawline and cheekbones and practically made him look like a model that's young. While George was the type of person that you could describe to look like an orangutang a type of monkey jokingly of course though. With big ginger curly hair and a big nose and lips and freckles you couldn't tell George's ethnicity at all even cupid couldn't but he didn't want to ask to be rude.
Though they got off the subway at 7:50 and rode their bikes to the school arriving at 8:00 to the school when George and cupid split apart going their separate ways. Eventually cupid found the entrance but there was one problem he never had a review of where his class was or anything infact he never took a tour he had no idea where to go he was too anxiety ridden to go with his mom to visit the school before, so he didn't know what to do. He eventually saw some people where class E-1 was, and they told him, and he arrived there at 8:10. At this point there was so many thoughts going through cupids mind he didn't know where to start or where to end. Could he have a better experience here then he did in other areas of his life he wasn't sure, but he was willing to try he refused to allow people to disrespect him again though he knew that. While he couldn't fight, he knew his boundaries and that people shouldn't step over them. All his feelings his dwelled-up feelings came to the surface while he stood in front of that door his fingertips grasping the cold door handle and sweat going down the side of his face with a dry mouth and slightly tiredness from the night before but his adrenaline running on full throttle, he opened the door and saw it all.
