Freshmen Year

(trust)After all, that only ever got you hurt.

Abigail's PoView

The next day, I found out what happens when you side with someone who denied the undeniable. Like the communist Black List, I found myself on the High School's version. It appeared as if even looking at me might get you killed.

Actually, it was quiet fun. I was only a freshmen, but I could clear a room of idiots with ease.

I sat down in the commons the next day, smirking at the morons who moved away. I dug into my lunch, but did take the time to nod to my only visiter.

I'm still not sure what drew Lenny into my crowd... ha, what crowd?... in the first place. We wern't friends - oh far from it! No we were just two kids in a school of misfits, all of whom thought they were better. We didn't talk, we didn't glace at the other, and outside this commons, we didn't associate. But today was different.

"Abigail?"

"Gah! It's Abby, 'kay!?"

"Very sorry. I was just wondering."

I look at him, all the cliche romance stories popping into mind. I think I started to sweat. Don't let him say anything wierd...

"May I have your milk?"

If ever there was a time to faucefault, that would be it. "Sure Len's" I said, before sliding the drink over to him. I stand up with the rest of the cardboard pizza and dump it. As I leave, I spot Wallabee in line for his own lunch.

"Ya know, paper has more nu'rients." I tell him.

He grins back, "Ya, an' they both burn da same!"

He pays for the trash, takes the milk, and leaves the rest on the condiment tray.

"You're so bad" I tell him. He shrugges, but I note the wince he tries to hide. "You okay?"

"All apples."

We stand at the edge of the lunch area, and look over the kids. At least I do. Wallabee's trying to time how fast he can drink his carton.

"5 seconds." I tell him, once he manages to catch his breath. Not that I know, mind you, but he doesn't know either!

"So it's Abby and Wally"

I turn to the scatchy voice to find Kuki and Hoagie. Kuki's ganging all over the boy, I think I'm gonna be sick. Her and Wally death glare each other.

"Wally Where's your boyfriend?" I watch him out of the corner of my eye. He has his fist cletched so tight that they've turned white, and the poor milk carton is bearing the brunt of it.

"Shut up Sanban." I tell her. Honestly, I'm ashamed to even have once called her my friend.

"Oh, so that's it. Wally couldn't get a real man, so he went after the tomboy instead. So Abby, I wonder, who's on top?"

I really don't remember attacking her, but I do remember Hoagie pulling me away, and Kuki crying. Teachers came running, and I felt some one pull my arm, leading me away.

AN: Gah, my muse ran away – (cries). Thank you for reviewing. This is not a grab for them, I just want to say that I would appreciate if you did not review unless you had at least one complaint. Just call me crazy.

Anywho I hope you all hate Kuki, and me for making her like that.
