AN- Sorry for being gone. I was at a wedding. BUT GUESS WHAT. I wrote a chapter during my absence!
Green breezes through the hallways. He ignores the glares and whispers; the gossip and lies; the secrets and betrayal that lingers in the air.
So much is wrong in his life. Everything is just spiraling down, and all Green can do is wait for it to all end. The problems just keep stacking up, and Green is having trouble keeping the pile balanced. It's only bound to collapse.
But so much, so much, has gone wrong.
His supposed "best friend" is a total jerk. Green knows things have changed since seventh grade– people change, places change, trends change, opinions change. But it seems Vaati has changed the most. And it's more than longer hair, nicer clothes, and eyeliner. Or maybe Vaati hasn't really changed at all. Maybe he's always been a total jerk, and Green was just too blind to notice.
His supposed "best friend" is in love with him. It almost hurts Green to know that Vaati was only hard on him because he was heartbroken... almost. But what really gets Green is the fact that he brought this on himself. He feels like an idiot.
Zelda isn't speaking to him. She glances at him nervously in class, but not a single word is ever spoken. It hurts, but Green can't find the will to tell her.
Everyone hates him. The gossip grows louder, and Green ignores several comments, including, "You don't have to whisper, you know. He's not listening."
Yes I am.
It's already lunch, and he doesn't have a lunch. His parents weren't around to make it, and Green couldn't be bothered to make it himself after packing Aryll's. He figured with all the crap he's been through, starving to death wouldn't be so bad.
His wrists hurt like the burn of Din's great fire. Paralyzation and self-harm don't mix. Green winces slightly as he learns this the hard way... again.
Stupid Vaati, stupid love, stupid silence, stupid gossip, stupid lunch, stupid wrists.
...Stupid Green.
AN- This might be the shortest chapter in Break My Fall history. ...I'M SO SORRY.
