Stop being so boring.// Wonder

The lunch room was never a particularly favourite place of Peri’s, in fact; school in general wasn’t one of his places. The whole system was nothing but a complete and utter waste of time to the boy who should be spending his time working. The store was taking up any sort of free time Peri had once possessed as he slowly took the reins from his father. Not that he could legally take over the store for another year, but the time was surely coming and soon enough, the day he turned eighteen, he would walk through the creaking door and finally own the family store.
Of course, the awful days spent in the dreary classrooms were preventing any sort of success he could get. Besides dealing with endless useless information, Peri had to deal with the people. High school was meant to be about meeting new people, having new experiences. He felt as if he’d met the requirements (if only barely.) Parties didn’t need to be a constant thing; in fact they were almost incredibly irresponsible. It was rather surprising that the Peacekeepers never broke them up.
The lunch room was loud and unsanitary. Spilt food and drinks were everywhere (surprisingly considering how some kids starved in their District.) He was used to sitting down alone. The stupid bickering had never really attracted him in anyway, as soon as he was done eating, it was back to class usually. Suddenly, he was being hollered over by a girl. Sure, he’d encountered her more than a few times, each of those times spent by her inviting him to parties. It wasn’t a dislike that filled him as much as a complete disregard for anything she said. How could he possibly respect someone who constantly stinks of alcohol?
Are you lame? Peer pressure wasn’t ever really something he’d experienced. No he wasn’t lame, if anything he was intelligent for avoiding the bitter liquid that created a cloud of stench around the girl. How she had so many people who liked her, Peri would never understand. Before he knew it a bejewled silver container stood before him, he could only guess what it contained but he’d rather not even touch it.
