It was the boy's favourite weather, cloudy with a fresh breeze, not too cold or too warm outside, just in between.
He was walking to school wearing blues jeans and a yellow cardigan above his white shirt, his black locks flying in in air because of the wind. Music in his ears, he was humming the lyrics happily like every other day.
Today was a Friday, meaning that the next day would be the weekend finally, the boy already tired of his week of school. Luckily for him though, the end of the semester was coming and then he could have a month of vacation.

As if on cue, a boy with light brown hair ran to him happily, making the black-haired smile to his ears.
"Lix!" The taller hugged him tight, pecking his cheek quickly before asking how he was doing.
"I'm doing great, you? You seem in a good mood today." He pointed out.
"Yeah, I just got my test results!"
"Oh really? Should I dig your grave early so your parents won't have too-
