POV: This is your third school in as many years. At least you aren't homeless anymore. You haven't slept most of the night because you woke up to find a strange and terrible god staring at you, and besides, you had homework to do. You cover the dark circles around your eyes with cosmetic dark circles - cheap burgundy eyeshadow and thick black eyeliner. You got beat up in the locker room at least once a week, but it's whatever. People also keep touching your hair because it's "so long" or something, and you're starting to be an asshole to them about it. You think you might have some Severe Mental Health Issues, and also you're pretty sure you're a man, but those are things to wait until college to worry about. You subsist entirely on carrot sticks, celery, grapefruit juice, Russian Caravan, and hot sauce. You got into several Ivy-Leagues but you can't afford to go so you've already resigned yourself to community college. You once fell through the kitchen floor and sprained your ankle and had to walk several miles to the doctor on it. You only take cold showers and boil water over the stove to wash dishes because your house hasn't had heat in years. More popular girls in your history class are surprised and impressed to discover you're more sexually experienced than they are, and the boys like that you've got the proportions of Jessica Rabbit. You're either a teachers pet or the teachers cannot stand you, there is no in between. You have a tenuous grip on reality and are starting to suspect you're a changeling, or something else inhuman. You pull out a battered second-hand iPod and listen to these songs on the long walk home from Chess Club. AKA "Songs Arin Was Really Weird About In High School"

#arinposting #obviously there was a lot more music arin listened to back then too but these are the ones that were Always On Repeat #i'm not putting this in my music tag though because i dont listen to most of this shit hahaha #theres some local files on here that wont play for anyone else sorry about that #but some of the Most Important arin songs arent on spotify #i feel like i should note. about the chess club bit #arin was president of the chess club and tutored chemistry in the same room at the same time #because the chemistry teacher was the chess club sponsor and one fo arins Favorites #and i think that all says a lot about arin but i'm not sure if i know What it says #also i guess its good arin never went to one of those ivy leagues #it'd probably be a lot more embarassing to drop out of like. Brown that it was to drop out of UVa #though i guess UVa is still considered a 'public ivy' so still embarassing i guess #but arin really started embracing the less palatable parts of self by that point anyway so i guess it didnt matter #a truly rotten personality
