As Jenny reached school, she realized that it was no longer the beautiful clean school that she remembered.
The once perfectly trimmed grass was now overgrown with weeds and held various junk not unlike the yard of the houses she noticed on the way to school. Not only that there were also numerous spots where there was no grass, only dirt which had turned into mud puddles and which a few of the younger students (it was a middle and high school) were playing in and getting their already filthy clothes gloriously muddy.
The formally bright maroon walls were now a dingy red with some of the paint peeling off.
Entering the building, she noticed that trash was everywhere. Some lost papers here and there, chip bags on her right, old food on the left and discarded junk appeared every now and then. Also seeing that most of the lockers were rusty and the locks broken. Going over to hers, she saw that instead of neatly arranged books, it was filled with forgotten assignments and various junk food.
While she realized that she should have been repulsed by the state of her locker, her mind now thought of this as normal and gradually her old life and personality was slipping away. Grabbing a pack of chips, she sneaked a glimpse at the other lockers and found that hers was in a much neater state than the rest, and that the others had way more food in there than hers.
As she munched on her snacks, she wondered, should she go straight to class or go to cafeteria first?
