| alarm clock goes off |

"mhh... what is it now?.."

| Cory never likes to wake up for school, it's always a hassle for him to get out of bed. 

| alarm clock still going off |

| cory, angry and just wants to sleep |

"SHUT THE HECK UP-"

 | smash! |

"...well, dang."

-

-

 | knock knock knock |

"Who is itt?"

Devin: It's Devin, your roommate.                          

Cory: Oh, one second!!-

*cory stumbling to get up and find a pair of sweatpants*

| The door creaks |

Cory: "Haha, sorry about the noise, I'm just tired that's all." Cory said that in a rather angry tone than a nice tone.

Devin: "Well, I was just telling you that school starts in 10 minutes and you should get ready."

Cory: "Oh right, thank you."

Devin: " Also I was wondering if you want-"

| The door slammed shut and the two departed. |

"Now. What should I wear?.."

| Cory had done the usual. He brushed his hair, put some of it in a tiny high ponytail, and put the rest of it down. |

| He put on a black buttoned shirt, a baggy pair of jeans, and a pair of high-tops. |

 After Class... ]


???: "Hey Cory!"

| Cory turns around to see his friend, V. |

Cory: "Oh, Hey V!"

V: "You have detention after school don't you?"

Cory: "Yep."

???: "Hey weirdos, Catch this!"

| The person throws a rock at them both, it hits Cory's eye and scars his eye as well. |

Cory: "What the heck, what does Vinona want?"

| Ah Vinona, Cory and Vinona have been enemies since 6th grade. |

Vinona: "Well if it isn't the girl who's always late."

Cory: "Well if it isn't the girl who can never get any dates, also I'm not a girl."

| Vinona laughs, knowing that Cory will get angry and start a fight, she has a perfect chance to get him suspended. |

Vinona: "Awh, is 

the useless kid gonna cry?"

| Cory, rather angry, walks up to Vinona and slaps her. |

Vinona: "Pfft- Pathetic, not even your weird friend can help you."

| Cory looks behind him and two other girls are holding V down. 

Cory grabs Vinona by the collar and throws her into the lockers. |

Cory: " Do not mess with my friends, leave them out of this."

| Cory gave a stare to all 3 of them, the two girls holding v dropped them and Cory got v and left. |

 

| This takes place a week after Cory and Vinona fought. |


| Cory was studying in the library by the fireplace |

 “Okay finally I can take a break, I’m gonna get something to snack on..”


[ At the Cafe ]

| Cory sits at a table, scrolling through his phone but then, his food was spilled by someone and that someone is.. | 

???: “Whoops, sorry about that”

| The person said sarcastically. |

Cory: “Oh for pete sake.”

???: “Calm down, it's just some ramen”

Cory: “Yeah yeah yeah, What do you want?”

Edward: “Well for starters, I’m Edward and you are?…”

Cory: “I’m Cory, not that great meeting you”

Edward: “Oooooh- You're the guy who had beef with Vinona!”

Cory: “How did you.. know about that?”

Edward: “It was on the school page, did you not know about that?”

Cory: “Well… No.”

Edward: “Sorry about your food though, you probably should’ve put it so close to the edge.”

Cory: “Mhm… Well I need to continue studying, I’ll see you later”

Edward: “Alright, Cya!”

[A day later…]


| Same routine this morning, Cory breaks his alarm clock, gets dressed, and is late to class. |


Cory: “So, How has your classes been going so far V?”

V: “They’ve been okay, I haven’t been late to any of mine”  | V said jokingly |

| Cory sighs and laughs | “Very funny.”

| A voice calling Cory and that voice is - |

Cory: “Edward..”

V: “Who’s that Cory?”

Edward: “Hey Cory- I was looking for you”

Cory: “Oh Uhm, Well- V meet Edward, Edward  V”

| Edward and V both greet each other and the three hangout. |  Edward:``So where are we going?” Coey and V both say:”somewhere.”  Edward: " I can't believe you got suspended and not Vinona"

V: " You did beat her up though-"

Cory: " I know I know, she did throw a few punches too."

V: " at least you don't have to go to school"

Edward: " true-"

Cory: " OH RIGHT, I CAN SLEEP AS LONG AS A WANT "

Edward: " Alright then "


| A week after Cory was suspended they went back to school and made some new friends, but one person changed for the better? | 

Vinona: " Hey Cory?" | Vinona looked.. sad? |

Cory: " Oh Vinona, trying to get me suspended again? "

Vinona: "No actually, I wanted to be friends, I feel bad for what I've done "

| Cory, an empath, feeling like she was telling the truth and accepts her offer |
