Hey guys! So its been a while since my last update, so I'm just gonna cut straight to the story. Enjoy chapter eleven!
We've been at West Campus for nearly two months when Ian finally breaks. Walking into the small cafeteria area, he slams his breakfast tray down on the table, startling Ray, Gabe and I. CJ looks up from her spot at the table a few feet away from ours and I make sure not to meet her gaze. None of us have forgiven her for what she's done.
"I can't take this," Ian tells us all, sliding into his usual seat next to Gabe and across from Ray. As usual, Ian and Gabe don't think that Ray and I notice as their hands find each other's under the table. But that's a whole other story.
Meanwhile, as Ian and Gabe grow closer, Ray and I seem to be drifting farther and farther apart. Things… they're not exactly as good as they were at Tower. We've been getting into fights over the most stupid, minuscule things. I don't even know how this happened. It just seems like West Campus is changing both of us, and its not for the better.
"We're getting out of here. I don't know how, I don't know when, but we're getting out," Ian states, quietly in hopes that Whisper 120 won't hear.
"Not possible. We can't get past Whisper's security. I've tried to crack the code a million times, but it keeps changing. It's like they know what I'm thinking before I've even run the scanner," I tell them all. I glance over to CJ, seeing her focusing intently on our group. Reading us no doubt.
"We'll find a way Suke," Ray assures me.
I roll my eyes, "Because you all know so much about computers."
"Suke…" he starts.
"What Ray?" I say much harsher than I intended to.
"I'm just trying to help," he tells me, voice rising a bit in agitation. I clench my teeth to keep from yelling in frustration.
"Well, when you figure out how to hack Whisper let me know. Because you sure as hell aren't doing anything to help us right now Mr. Macho."
Ray slams his hands down on the table, grabbing his tray and standing, "You know what Suki? I give up. Let me know when you don't want to act like an bratty child."
Some strange feeling tinges inside of me when he says this. I'm not sure if it's annoyance or anger or something else entirely. It's foreign and uninvited into my system, like a parasite causing all my agitation. All I know is that it isn't me.
Yet I can't seem to control the livid words spilling out of my mouth.
"Me? Look who's talking. You know, you haven't said anything remotely nice to me in the past two weeks. It's always, 'How are we going to get out?' and 'Have you got the codes yet?' You haven't even bothered to find out anything about how I'm doing in this God awful place. You don't even seem to care. I'm your girlfriend for God's sake!"
Ray stares at me, gripping the edge of the table. The metal counter starts to bend under his grasp and I can see his other hand clenching and unclenching in an angry fashion.
"You are so fucking self absorbed! I'm sorry for thinking of other people. I'm sorry I haven't been paying enough attention to Princess Suki. I wasn't aware that the world revolved around you every fucking moment." He yells. At this point, Ian is standing, measuring out the situation and trying to decide if he should jump in to stop us.
"Go screw yourself, Ray, because I don't care anymore. I don't care about us. I don't care about you."
"Fine. Fine! I'm done with all this bullshit! You don't care about us anymore? Then there is no us." he yells, slamming his tray back down on the table, denting the metal top, and storming out of the cafeteria leaving a silent and shocked room in his wake. I let out a huff, sitting back down in my chair, gazing at the boys who look back at me with incredulous expressions.
"Don't. Say. A. Word."
Ray's POV
I can't believe I just ended it with her.
Why am I such an idiot!
I run my hands through my hair, swearing under my breath. I sigh, letting out my frustration through a punch to a local wall. The loud crunch of breaking plaster and wood crumbles under my hand as a hole forms. Again, I swear.
"Are you okay?" a voice comes from behind me. I spin around, seeing CJ looking at me with a sorrowful expression. I scoff, rolling my eyes and walking down the hall again.
"So you're not going to talk to me either?" she calls. I wave away her comment with a shake of my head. She doesn't relent on trying to get me to talk to her.
"Wait," I hear her call from behind me. I turn, annoyance plain on my face, "What if I told you I knew a way out?"
Sorry for the cliffhanger! It just had to be done :) And I know Ray and Suki are kinda OOC, but I was aiming to show how much West Campus had changed them. Don't worry though, they're not completely over yet ;)
Let me know what you think in the reviews!
