    Summary

    Shane took a large swallow of his drink and sniffed, “Is the bar on fire?”

    The question was so out of left field that Keir stumbled over it, blinking, “Uh, what?”

    “Gas leak? Viral outbreak?” the man continued, his voice gruff but cultured.

    “No, I don’t…sorry what are..?”

    “Then why the hell are you talking to me?” it was so baldly hostile that it was almost funny; almost.

    It felt like falling from a height. It fel like losing everything. It felt like he had done it all to himself. It felt like he was abandoned. It felt like life was a big, fat lie. It felt like he had no control, like he was losing his mind. It felt like plumetting to the bottom and fighting the climb.

    Luckily for Keir and his intrusive thoughts as he struggled to find his place in the world, it seemed like he wasn't the only one treading water.

    Summary

    Transferring schools at the start of grade 8 wasn’t the ideal option, but it was something necessary that Lloyd had to do. Sure, he got excessively bullied at his last school but he could deal with it, his parents really didn’t need to move him to the school they taught at to keep an eye on him… Totally.

    Because Lloyd totally didn’t get beat the absolute fuck up at his last school.

    Or, in year 8 Lloyd transfers schools. Throughout the first few weeks he makes some of the best friends he's ever had and after year 9 they could be considered closer than ever.

    With year 10 on the way what could go wrong? Everything was going really well aside from the casual bullying.
    Let's just say, year 10 was if you put Lloyd on train tracks and he got hit with a brick to the face along with all his friends getting a boot to the head.
