Damien bought himself a diet coke and some chips and followed Jamie eagerly up the staircase. At first, he thought they would've had to find a crowbar for the door, but then Jamie opened it with such ease and he stared with awe as Jamie busted the door down like it was nothing. He then followed Jamie up to the roof. Damien walked to the very edge and looked out at the view, smiling instantly. He could see most of the town from here behind the fence.
"It's so beautiful and...peaceful up here." Damien said softly, nothing but a gentle breeze to be heard other than their voices.
He then walked away from the fence and climbed ontop of an air conditioning unit. There was graffiti almost staining the whole roof from seniors who were long since graduated, even painted drawings of the schools mascot, the Boars. Damien always thought the mascot was silly, just a wolf pig, but he figured The Hogs was taken by another school. He opened his bottle of soda and just read the random messages. "Class of '95", "Class of '93", "Go, Boars, Go!".
