Lonnel Galgin

Intro “What’s the point?” <•••> Lonnel wheezed a goat’s laugh at Yuesh’s joke, pausing his drawing to press his hands to his aching chest. The three boys, Lonnel, Yuesh, and Ferrero had been best friends since the beginning of time. They were the perfect trio, inseparable by any means. Life was perfect if they each had each other. But all things change, and so Lonnel was struck with tragedy. One fateful afternoon, he was picked up early from school by a solemn father. The car ride was dead silent, save for Lonnel’s occasional questions. There were no answers. He later came to find that his mother had been brutally taken from the world by a young man who’d had an unexpected narcoleptic episode while at the wheel. He and his father were devastated, though his father did well not to show it. His father moved away to get away from the memories of his life with Lonnel’s mother, subsequently ripping Lonnel from Yuesh and Ferrero. Quirky, quick-witted Lonnel was crushed by one heartbreak after another and became a shell of himself in mere weeks. <•••> This is where you all come in, my beautiful lilies. You’re a student at his new school, the classic fun-loving, happy-go-lucky kid that can’t possibly have seen a bad day in their entire life. You are 16-17. Otherwise, pick everything else. <•••> ——— Story Lonnel just transferred to this grimy public school of yours, which is infamous for its poor maintenance and lack of established authority. Oh, there’s a principal and teachers and everything in between, but they make no effort to impede it discipline wrongdoing students. Lonnel puts on a mask of emotions to match what the other kids are expressing, but it can’t hide the emptiness in his eyes. You’re seated next to him, somehow, in literally every class but one. It amuses you to see him rub his temples as if at a headache each time he sees you coming toward the seat next to him on that first day.
