Saying What's Inside
'Sometimes I wonder why I bother even standing up for myself when I'm only gonna get shut down again. Tala that stupid fucker.'
Adrik harshly thought, looking into his reflection he noticed his eyes. Crimson orbs stared back at him.
'That was the first time I ever snapped at anyone. Heh, I guess I got so mad my eyes changed color.'
"I hope I didn't disgrace Bryan..." Adrik thought out loud. A red lump arose and throbbed on Adrik's cheek.
'Can't believe I let Tala slap me like that'
A loud bagging noise came from the metal door of his cell. "Shower duty, runt!"
The Russian gritted his teeth "I'm coming"
Adrik walked down the halls. Some boys sniggered at him or laughed. The older boys tried to trip him while he was walking. The small boy hung his head low the whole time.
'Walk don't look up. Walk, we're almost there! Come o—ohff!'
"Watch where you're going, freak!"
Adrik head shoot up. Narrowing his eyebrows, he looked as if to kill. The large boy laughed but when he glimpsed at Adrik's eyes, he cowered back.
He smirked to himself 'These eyes might come in handy'
Finally reaching the shower room Adrik got into the never ending line. Boys tried to push and shove him but he just shot them a look. All was quite...for at least it was thought.
"Adrik" A cold stare went shivers down Adrik's back.
The runt re-gained his bravery and shot the same look "Tala".
"To the back of the line...Now!" With that Adrik moved himself to the back.
Hours of waiting he finally got in. Turning on the taps he let the water run and stripped of his clothes.
"Hm, I surprised there's warm water..." Speak of the devil.
"Fuck!" He jumped out of the reach of the shower head. Whether risking the chance of being frozen to death or smelling really bad, he went in. After getting use to the cold water.
"Ah nothing like taking a cold shower" Adrik murmured sarcastically. He reached to grab his towel and clothes.
"Hey! Where the hell?!" His clothes weren't in the same place as he left them.
"Those bastards!" He yelled and looked around to see if anyone was looking. He scurried down the halls...he heard a familiar voice. Anya!
He hid behind a corner. He watched the elderly woman walk down the same hall way as him.
'Oh shit! What am I gonna do?!'
"Adrik?" A motherly voice called out. His cheeks tinted red.
"A-a-hh hi! A-a-Anya! What brings you to these halls?" he stuttered, obviously embarrassed.
"Whatever are you doing back there?" She asked.
"Oh nothing" He lied.
She glanced down at the floor and saw his bare foot. She chuckled.
"Are you naked?"
Adrik gasped and turned red. "Well...um...You see..." he searched for an answer "yes!" but failed.
"You can come out..." she laughed "nothing I haven't seen before."
He took a deep breath before standing up and coming out from the corner. The next expression on Anya's face was indescribable.
"What's wrong Anya?" Adrik asked, really confused.
She looked like as if she saw death. Taking off her sweater she covered Adrik.
"No time to explain! Come with me" She sounded as if to cry.
