Blind Boy ;; ((June 4th - Open))

He hated moving. It was literally the worst thing his Bro could put him through. But every time Dave Strider said anything about it his Bro would chuff and say that he was stronger than that. Dave really doubted that sometimes. And having to go to a normal public school? Boy was he looking forward to that.

Life being blind was something Dave was pretty sure he would never get used to.

He had had a decent tour of the school before actually going for his first day. He had experienced the halls filled with people and he was pretty sure of how to navigate from each of his classes. He had to use his cane at this point, which bothered him. At his old school and in his home he didn’t need the cane to get around. The cane made everyone around him know his disability and treat him differently. Maybe he could get lucky and more than one or two people won’t be complete asshats. But that was stretching it.

He sat down in his first class, a seat at the front by the door, and took his computer out of his thin bag. Putting his small macbook on the desk in front of him he took out his large headphones and placed it over one ear. Once the jack was in the right hole he could do what he wanted on the computer without disrupting anyone. People were starting to file into the room. Dave could feel eyes on him. He kept his face directed towards the computer screen.

Dave wished he could see how people looked at him. He trusted his brother every morning to make sure that he didn’t look like a slob. He knew he was attractive to other people, he had heard that more than once. He was vaguely certain of what he did with his hair in the morning as well. His attire usually consisted of coloured or patterned t-shirts and dark jeans. But it didn’t stop him from being a little self-conscious when it was so obvious that all eyes were on him at some point or another.

The teacher started the lesson and he tabbed over from his music mixing program to a black doc. He liked to take notes, it wasn’t like he didn’t try or anything. He just had to admit that he was glad that the teacher didn’t bring any unwanted attention to him. The teacher would probably address the class about it as soon as Dave left for the bathroom or something… speaking of which.

“Can I use the bathroom?” He said raising his hand, a Texan twang obvious in his slurred words. The teacher said yes and Dave stood from his chair, placing his headphones on top of his keyboard. He picked up his cane and walked towards the door.

He paused at the door frame. “Uh,… actually could I have someone show me the way?” The teacher asked allowed for a volunteer. And already Dave was starting to feel useless for not knowing all this shit already. What pity party would be sent with him today?

((Looking for anyone who is interested. This could definitely be romantic. The other character can have problems as well or whatever. This post will have a sister RP called ";; Mute Boy" which takes place in the same school but with different characters. If you're interested in possibly replying to that too drop me a message))
