It's finally lunchtime. It's only lunchtime. Spot has been at his new school a handful of hours and he is already done.
In the school's defense, he was pretty much done with it before he even arrived.
He gets why his grandmother felt the need to move him halfway across the country, he does, it isn't like he liked his old school, and yea it was probably nice to not have a million and one questions from assholes about why he was away for so long - or, worse, defending against all the fucking rumours that had sprung up.
But he misses the friends he did have, and he misses his ballet teacher, and his grandmother won't pay for one here because the entire point of getting a scholarship to this place was because of the excellent ballet programme, except that excellent ballet programme is just an ordinary class full of other people and that comes with a whole host of other issues.
Being far away from his dad and closer to the aunt and cousins he can actually tolerate is great and all, but it's still new and different and, honestly, intimidating - and Spot likes none of those things. So he's scowled his way through multiple introductions already this morning and now he has to deal with a packed out lunch room and finding a place to sit where nobody will bother him. Great.
The room is basically a wall of sound and he's seriously considering turning off his hearing aids.
