Rating: With Rose? At least PG-13!
Teddy had been one of those kids who liked school. He was always too shy and easy-going to be picked on too much when younger, and he was hard to offend and by time he got to high school he managed to start socializing a bit. He had really only made friends with basketball teammates before, though, and even then had still been pretty quiet around them. At the end of last year, he had ran into a bit of trouble when he and the basketball team leader decided they disliked each other quite a bit, but he had handled it well enough.
Now, just a few months shy of graduating, and school was suddenly a miserable affair again.
He looked at the sign taped onto his locker, tilting his head at the crude artwork as he shook his head and pulled it off, crumpling the words away. Mostly, it made him sad. People could be awesome... then... at times they did things like this.
He was keenly aware of some of the looks directed his way as he pulled his locker open. Then he jumped at the loud pop. A group laughed off to the side as Teddy looked puzzled at the locker, and finally found the papery remains of the string popper that had been rigged to his locker. "Clever, guys," he muttered, putting his books up and eager to get out of there for the weekend.
