Crumbling to pieces
Ethan's POV
I slowly shut the door behind me as I entered the dark room. I didn't want to wake anybody up, it had been hard trying to sneak into the school as it was.
" Hey bro." A deep voice emanated from within the room. My heart leapt into my mouth as I stumbled back, banging into the chest of drawers in the process. A loud bang rang through out the room as my knee whacked the cold, hard wood. I squinted into the darkness trying to pin a face to the voice I had heard.
" Benny?" I questioned, catching a glimpse of his brown hair illuminated by the shafts of moonlight.
" The one and only!" he smirked as we fist pumped.
" Can you please explain to me why you nearly gave me a heart attack just now? What are you doing here?"
" Your dad wanted me to check up on you."
" Typical." I scoffed as he arched a brow.
" It's not like that. He is just worried because the rebels have been stirring. There has been talk of another uprising."
" Is he okay? Is Jane safe?"
" Their fine, they just wanted to make sure that you were okay, your one of the biggest targets for these attacks."
" Way to make a guy feel better Benny."
" I'm sorry but it's the truth. Your Ethan Morgan, your visions helped to defeat them in the war and you didn't think they wouldn't want to attack you?"
" Of course! I knew that something like this would happen. I just wasn't expecting it so soon."
" Neither was I."
" What are they angry about this time?"
" The caste system, what else is new."
" The caste system."
" They are all eights with nothing to live on, starvation tends to make people irritable. I remember this one time when I didn't have any lunch and..."
" Would you stop. I don't want to know about your lunch issues."
" Well excuuuusssse me!" he retorted as I suppressed an eye roll. " So, who was the babe you were walking up with?"
" Babe?"
" Don't pretend like it didn't happen! I was waiting for you to come back and when I finally spot you within the trees your holding this chicks hand."
" For your information she is not a babe, chick or a hottie or whatever you want to call it. I was just escorting her home."
" Escorting her home? She must be really worth it then, what is she a two, three?"
" Six."
" Six! Six!"
" Would you keep your voice down!"
" What the hell are you doing with a six!"
" Nothing! I'm not doing anything because nothing is going on!" I whisper yelled as he began pacing the room.
" No wander your dad sent me here."
" What is that supposed to mean?"
" You know exactly what it means. It's your first day here and your already causing trouble." he retorted before running his fingers swiftly through his hair in irritation.
" Get out!"
" What?"
" You heard me."
" Look bro I'm sorry, it's just."
" Save it. You can talk to me some other time when your not under the influence of my dad."
" He is the closest thing I have to a dad Ethan. To family."
" But he isn't your dad! He's mine and I thought you were here because you wanted to visit me. As a friend. Like friends do!"
"I'm sorry E." he whispered and with that he had disappeared out of my window and into the night air.
I was washed and ready just in time for the breakfast bell but really I was hoping to catch Sarah on her way down. I spotted a girl with lustrous, long brown hair, nose buried deep within a book and knew it was here instantly. I quickened my pace in order to walk along side her.
" Hey, what are you reading?" I asked quietly, she glanced up and her eyed widened to large brown orbs. Instantly she grabbed my arm and dragged me away from the crowds of students hanging around the hall.
" What are you doing?"
" Trying to talk to you."
" You can't just go round talking to me in public! I'm a six, seen and not heard remember!" she snapped.
" Sorry, I forgot." I replied weakly before raising my hands up in defence.
" What did you want to talk about?"
" I heard their were rebel uprisings starting." I whispered.
" No way!"
"I know! Can you believe them!"
" Excuse me."
" The rebels! They always start this -" she raised a hand to cut me off.
" Woah, woah, woah, your not seriously against this are you? We should be encouraging the caste system to be abolished, to change!"
" It's is the only way we can install peace between all the species."
" Says you, your a one! You don't know what it's like."
" Care to enlighten me?"
" No! Why did you even tell me this in the first place? Why are you even talking to me?"
" I just thought that we were frien-"
" Well you thought wrong!" she cut me off before storming away and leaving me questioning myself. When had my whole world started crumbling to pieces without me even realising?
