Bouzi Neo & Celeb Ryu
Chapter 2: Enter "The Freaks"
They looked at me until finally Ryu speaks up, "You're Bura Briefs aren't you?"
"Yeah, I am." I quietly say. So the freaks at least know a celeb when they see one.
"I read that you stuck in this place thought it was just a rumor..."
I shrugged, what else is there to say? Here I am.
"So you're one of those eating disorder chicks, eh?" Ryu asked.
"Yeah and what of it, you cut yourself, we all have issues."
"Well life's a royal pain in the ass, isn't it little Miss perfect?" Neo muttered.
"I'm not perfect…"
"But you want to be," Ryu pointed out.
I sigh; she has a point…
I was silenced then. They seem to know everything about you just by looking at you, well Ryu does. Neo, she was smaller, angrier. If she wanted to be like that, then I would too, "Perfect is but an expression that people use to make themselves feel superior."
"And you want to feel superior. You tied yourself within your own irony."
"Yeah well at least I don't hurt myself..."
Ryu looked up, "Starvation can be a form of self mutilation... and making yourself throw up really hurts your organs."
Damn! How does she know this shit?
She shrugs, "My grandma is a psychologist"
"I see..." I said. So she knows shit. That doesn't mean she knows me.
"Sorry, I'll shut up now." She turns to the other freak, "Neo, have they delivered the mail yet? I'm expecting a letter from Anthony."
"Nope."
"Who's Anthony?" Don't tell me these freaks managed to get boyfriends...
"Ryu's little obsession."
"Hey, I have to have something to get me through this place...besides we all have obsessions don't we?"
"Speaking of time in this place, what're you, Perfect?"
"Three months."
"Wow, wish I had an eating disorder instead of what I did. Its six for me…" Ryu muttered.
"What'd you do?"
"Tried to kill myself...downed Tylenol.... and the self infliction stuff didn't help..."
"Why would anyone want to leave?"
"Why would you want to stay?"
I notice as the mail is passed out Ryu and Neo both watch hopefully. What do I care? No one's going to write me...Only person who still cares is dad... and I can't see him writing letters...
Neo smiled, "Figure it out. You're perfect." A black letter was handed to her.
Ryu looked at the letter she got, happily till she noticed whom it was from, then her expression changed, she looked sad. "Mommy..."
"Ryu, you okay?"
She opened the letter and muttered under her breath, "She's doing worse...this is my fault..."
"No, it's not." Neo muttered in a singsong voice.
Freaks.
All they can do is blame themselves over stupid shit they can't help. Hell, it could be raining and they'd probably say it was their faults.
"She's been doing badly since I got in here...."
I look at her, "Let me guess, your mom is a freak too? Just following in her footsteps?"
Ryu growled at me "SHUT. UP. Not everyone had the perfect life you did...I realize you don't like us but don't judge what you will never understand."
Maybe Ryu is angrier than I thought; I nodded, "Fine, fine."
A nurse walks up to us, "Oh, good you've met them, Neo, Ryu, Bura will be your new roommate."
"WHAT?!"
Seeing as the original chapter two was like thirty pages, I decided to divide it up a bit more. Hope you enjoyed. Seeing as this will go on for a few chapters, there won't be a Reviewer's Corner for a while.
Reviewer's Corner:
Raven Pan: I am so sorry about the original format. I understand, it is very sloppy.
Lady Celebare: I am very glad the story gives off such effects.
TrunksPrincess4Life: Thank you. We try to update.
