TO ALL THE VRISKA LOVERS! I APOLOGIZE NOW! SHE WILL REDEEM HERSELF I PROMISE!
The next day Eric walked into the cafeteria, looking at his phone. It was a Saturday and he didn't have any classes that day. Neither did Solly and Tavio so they planned a day to spend time together for guy time. Karcin backed out because he wanted to take Jade out for couple time. Dave and Gale needed to work on projects so they backed out as well. Eric saw his two friends sitting at a table and smiled.
"Guys!" He yelled. Solly looked up from his computer and Tavio looked up from his book. Eric ran over to them and sat with them, making small chat before a black haired girl walked up to him.
"You Eric Ampora?" She asked, hands on her hips, attitude screaming from her posture. Eric simply ignored her. "Heeeeeeeello? Are you listening to me?!" She said, waving a hand in front of his face. He slapped the hand away and glared at her.
"Excuse me, but I'm talking to my friends and I don't ev-ven know-w wh-who you are." He said, slightly irritated. "Please leav-ve me alone." Eric replied. He turned back to Solly and Tavio when he heard her sigh. She rolled her eyes.
"My name is Vicky Serket and you could do way better than hanging out with these freaks." She said, glaring at Tavio and Solly. Tavio bit his lips, getting a bit teary eyed and Solly took deep breathes, feeling a mood swing coming on. Eric stood up quickly from his seat and turned on the girl with anger in his eyes.
"Wh-What did you just say?" He asked her, glaring right into her eyes. She smirked.
"They're freaks. One can't even walk and has no backbone apparently and the other wears dumb ass 3D shades so you can barely even see his eyes and has a 'thtupid lithp' and you can't even understand him half the time." She replied. Eric refrained himself from slapping the girl in front of him. "Besides, I hear you prefer to hang with the richer sort. Not handicapped and people who pay more for meds than food." Solly's eyes widened at the last comment as Eric stared at the girl in front of him with wide eyes. He couldn't believe the vulgar words that were coming from her mouth, and the part that saddened him most was she described how he used to be using those words. If he hadn't dated Felicity, he wouldn't have even thought of spending time with Tavio or Solly, and her words hurt him just as much as Solly and Tavio. "Hit the nail on the head, didn't I? So why don't you and I go talk somewhere else?"
"No… Just… Get aw-way from me." Eric replied.
"Huh?" Was her response.
"GET AWAY FROM ME AND MY FRIENDS, YOU BITCH!" He yelled at her, causing a few students to look at them. She stared at him a bit wide eyed and ran off. Eric was shaking, from anger, hurt and shock. Tavio and Solly stared at Eric in shock as well. Eric couldn't turn to face the two, so he stood there, clenching his fists. Solly closed his computer slowly and he stood up and grabbed Eric's arm.
"Calm down, Eric. thhe'th not worth it…" Solly looked at Tavio who had his phone out texting someone. Eric couldn't stop shaking and he wouldn't say anything. Solly grabbed Eric's arm with both hands and pulled him back into his seat and made him look at him. "Calm down. Never thought I'd be the one calming you down. I thought it'd be the other way around." Solly joked, earning a small laugh from Eric and a smile from Tavio. Soon the sound of heels running towards them as Felicity ran to them and stood in front of Eric.
"Is everything okay? What happened?" She asked, holding Eric's face up with her hands.
"Thith bitch came and tried hitting on Eric just to make him mad by calling Tavio a poor handicap and me a lithping freak."
"Man, talk about rude. That's so not cool!" Felicity said, taking Eric's hands in hers as she looked at Eric. "You okay?" She asked gently.
"No… Cause every w-word she said about me used to be true…" Eric said, looking down. Tavio bit his lip and looked down.
"Eric… That's in the past. Yeah, you had an attitude about those less fortunate, but since the last time I saw you you've improved a lot! You still have your moments, I'm sure, but you're not completely like that anymore. Solly, Tavio and the others are proof of that." Felicity tried to comfort the boy, but her words barely reached him. He just looked down, causing her to sigh. Eric slowly stood up and grabbed his bag.
" I… I need some space." Eric whispered before walking away and out of the building. Felicity watched him leave with a sad look on her face. Tavio pulled his phone out again to text Dave.
"Houston we have a problem."
