Chapter 2: Another Outcast

Faith sat in biology class, writing in her notebook. She sat next to Jonathan, the other geek in the school. Faith didn't like him, but she didn't let it show she pretended to be his friend. She listened while the other kids made fun of him.

"Quit it!" Jonathan said, his rage growing.

Spike laughed, "look the mama's boy is getting pissed," he laughed again.

"Mr. Bartelli!" Jonathan called.

"What, gonna tell on me?" Spike taunted.

"Yes, what is it Jonathan?" Mr. Bartelli sighed.

"Nothing," Jonathan replied giving into Spike's taunting.

Angel walked into the class.

"Oh, you must be Mr. O'Neal," Mr. Bartelli said.

"Yeah," Angel replied.

"Take the seat right next to Faith," Mr. Bartelli said.

"Who?" Angel asked.

"The girl with the dark hair," he said pointing to her.

Angel took the empty seat next to Faith.

'Fucking great' she thought.

"Quit it!" Jonathan yelled at Spike, Spike just laughed more.

The bell rang signaling class was over, Jonathan and Faith walked into the hallway.

"Jackasses," Jonathan under his breath as Spike and his friends walked by.

"Ignore them," Faith said.

Excerpt from Faith's Note Book:

Exodus:

Death be delivered unto those who deserve it.

And to those who deserve it come quick and hideous death

Life be bestowed to those who want to live within it's walls of safety

And let their pain wash away.

-End

&&&&&&&&

Faith and Jonathan parted ways, she went to her locker, and he continued down the hall. He stopped at her locker, and suddenly a strong force pushed him into it. The door was locked and he was stuck.

"Call me a jackass."

Excerpt From Jonathan's Journal:

April 28th:

Pain and hate. Only things I know. Torture and rape. I don't want to live this life anymore. Constantly ignored, and picked on. Betrayed by all I trusted in, I don't want to be pushed this far. But what other escape is there? If there is a God above, please help me.

-End

Jonathan walked into his classroom, Faith had gotten him out of his locker like she did every day. He sat down in his seat, and took out his notebook, he copied the notes on the board trying not to snap at the kids making fun of him.

Faith looked out the window, it was a sunny spring day. April Vacation was coming up soon, then they would return on 26th. Angel walked into the class. He took a seat next to her.

"Um, I think we got of to a bad start," he began, "and I'm sorry for running into you in the hall."

"Hey, cuz' you don't want to talk to her, unless you like that kind of girl," Doyle shouted from across the room.

"What's he talking about?" Angel asked Faith, she shrugged and looked out the window.

"You know the kind of girl, who just to get a rush, cuts herself," Doyle said. Faith pulled down the sleeves of her shirt as her anger rose, she was getting sick of being put down.

"This coming from the guy who gets a high by burying his pain in other people, and doesn't stop to think of what it's doing to them," Faith said.

Doyle looked at her, "Okay, okay you wanna play it that way, okay" Doyle said as class started.
