Chapter 23: I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-idiot

Simon's POV

Shock and disgust rippled through Simon; his mouth hung open as if it had been dislocated, his eyes were wide as he started unblinkingly at the teachers who had exactly the same expressions on as Simon did. Well, Mrs Branwell did but Mr Michaelis looked not only disgusted but horrified, which must have been hard for him because he so rarely showed any emotion.

"D.. Do you know who could have don.. done this?" Charlotte managed to stammer out over her anger and sadness that were clear in her expression.

"No, we suspected Sebastian at the start and that's why.. well, that happened" Izzy said pointing to his face. "Why do you know not believe it to be him?" Mr Michaelis said with anger underlying his voice. Simon was slightly confused at the anger at first but then remembered that Mr Michaelis seemed to like Cris, as a student not like-like, better than any other, even the three girls that were sitting in front of him. If anything Simon would say that Cris and Mr Michaelis acted like friends, as disturbing as it was to Simon.

"Well he came in late which was abnormal and well there was no other reason" Katniss said rather sheepishly. "Jem also came in late!" Sebastian protested in a high pitched voice which, through out everything that he just heard, Simon had to refrain himself from laughing at.

"Please, Jem's name was on the board it obviously wasn't him" Maia said dismissively. Charlotte seemed lost in her own thoughts and when Maia said this she snapped out of them with a slight daze. "What did the person mean when it said that Cris deserved everything that happened to her; past and future, apart from the obvious, what did it mean?" Mr Michaelis questioned, anger continued to gleam deep in his voice.

"Well, am I right in presuming that you know why Cris has been hospitalised?" Katniss asked to which he nodded and Katniss slowly continued as it seemed neither of the other girls could face it, "What we think it meant was, well, it is getting more likely that Cris cannot survive this as" She paused then and Mrs Branwell already looked like she was going to break down whereas Mr Michaelis' face remained indifferent while his red eyes glimmered with sadness.

Katniss took in a deep breath and continued, "As Cris' heart failed three times last week, the doctors managed to save her each time but they say with each time the chances that she will wake up lessen," Tears now streamed down Charlotte's face and Simon could only guess that the girls were the same; even Mr Michaelis had tears in his eyes which Simon had thought was impossible.

Though Simon was able to hold it together, just about, as he had already heard about this but it seemed Jamie couldn't. Jamie stormed past Simon, walked towards the door, and even though the door was firmly shut, he kicked the door handle so that the door swung open and splinters of wood flew into the corridor.

Everyone in the room turned to watch as Jamie ran out of view. Mr Michaelis got up as if to go after him but Charlotte put a hand on his arm and said softly "Can you call another teacher who is free to go after him?" he agreed and got out his radio.

Simon smirked a little and said "That was mahogany!" which caused the girls, Peeta and even Charlotte to crack a smile.

The bell rang then, Charlotte sighed and told the girls and Sebastian to go to their lessons. As they left Simon offered the girls a small sympathetic smile and they gave a hint of one back, as they passed.

Charlotte then pulled a tissue from the box on her desk and said, "Come on let's get this over with, boy's come over here," Simon, Peeta and Cato walked over to the desk and sat down willingly and to Simon this was really surprising.

"Simon please describe the events that unfolded," Charlotte ordered and Simon told her only what she needed to know, leaving out who the girl was that him and Jamie were fighting over, since Simon couldn't deny that was what they were doing even if the girl would have no knowledge of the fight or why it occurred, hopefully. He also left out the reason why Peeta and Sebastian fought, which Peeta silently thanked Simon for.

"Okay, you may leave and go to your lessons, I will email your teachers saying why you will be late and I will confer with Mr Phantomhive and Mr Michaelis to see if your explanation was indeed truthful, I will decide your punishments later and you will find out tomorrow what they will be, you are dismissed" Mrs Branwell said exasperatedly and she sighed.

The boys got out from their seats and walked out the door. As soon as they got out of the door they all headed in separate directions to their classes. But Simon was one of those idiots (that's the word Simon decided to use for himself) who had a locker and who kept their books in said locker, which wasn't exactly normal in this school as most people kept their books in their bags.

So Simon headed down to his locker to get his maths book, he couldn't help thinking about that mystery person who he wouldn't mind murdering right now; I mean who would do that to anyone, who could be that cruel? And it only makes it worse that Cris isn't actually here to witness what the person has done to her, Cris couldn't hear this from anyone else either!

Anger rose up in Simon then as he wondered who the person could be: not only did the person have to be cruel enough to even conceive of something like that but the person said that she slept with Jace, Will, Jem and Jamie, and obviously himself but apparently word had spread like wild fire, although Simon still thought most people would doubt this out of denial or the fact that Cris was 'too good' for basically most people, that included Simon.

People had speculated before: that Cris had gone out with Jace or Will, or both, or (as one rumour stated) both at the same time because of how close the three were, so it wasn't the biggest of shocks to have their names inscribed on the board. Well… it wasn't the biggest shock to Simon; it probably would be for Tessa, Clary, Jace and Will.

But only the girls (meaning Tessa, Clary, Izzy, Maia, Katniss, Tris, Hazel), Jem, Jamie, Jace, Will and Simon knew about Cris going to Jamie's house; it was kept that way so the attackers wouldn't find her, ironic right? Simon thought rather cynically.

Simon was sure that they wouldn't have told anyone about Cris' location and therefore no one could have known that Cris was spending the night with Jamie, as bad as that may have sounded, according to Jamie they had only kissed. That thought still made Simon want to throw up until he drowned in his own sick. Plus Jamie had only told Simon that in form which meant that the person couldn't have got that from Jamie. Although it had to be said a lot of people knew or thought that Jamie had a crush on Cris, but that wasn't enough to say she slept with him based on that alone.

Simon, once again, felt as if he wanted to tear his own brain cells out for thinking that but he did want to know who did this to Cris.

The same went for Jem: quite a few people knew or thought he fancied Cris, although Jem was better at hiding it than Jamie. The thing that was weird about the person putting Jem's name down was that everyone knew that Jem was kind and considerate and therefore wouldn't have slept with Cris if they hadn't been going out for like a month or something, Simon didn't really want to think too hard into that subject.

Plus Simon didn't think that the two had ever even kissed, or that was what he liked to think but apparently the girls had that opinion as well because Simon had definitely not eaves-drop on a conversation where all the girls apart from Cris were talking about her love life. He did.

Simon was utterly confused and a bit brain tired (which to Simon is an acceptable excuse to get out of anything) as he approached his locker only to find that there was a huge dent in it. And that it was already open.

He carefully approached the locker as if it had a bomb in it, which it technically could've. When he peered inside of it he did a quick survey and realised that nothing was missing. The locker was still filled with school books and other rubbish and it still had pictures of his friends and him blue-tacked to the inside of the door.

But on a closer inspection he realised that one of the photos was missing. One of his favourite photos.

The missing photo was one of all the girls and Simon at comic-con; all dressed as fictional characters.

Simon tried to think of why that picture, out of everything in the locker everything, was missing. Then he came up with a thought that made the picture different to every other: it had all the girls in it.
