Chapter: SOS
Monday meant Sophie was out of the hospital yesterday, which meant she was going to school, which meant Scarlet. Zhalia pulled up to Sophie's real house. The delicate, smaller girl hopped in the car. The two drove in silence. Dante's house loomed into view. The male in question jumped in shotgun while Zhalia was still moving.
"Lok got to school early. He just texted me. Here it is: Dante: People r waiting 4 soph 2 come! scar can't even get out the door! Its like her personal army or something!" The couple in the front turned to look at the shocked girl behind them.
"Are you joking?" Dante handed Sophie the phone. What little color was in her face drained out. Zhalia piped up.
"The entire weekend I've been mass texts. They all say things like 'Protect our students' 'Stop the bullies' 'S.O.S. Stop Our Scarlet'. It's amazing! They were all started by the 'nerds' and 'geeks', but everyone is on board!" As the school came into view, Sophie saw giant masses of students on the lawn. Signs were in the air with similar messages like the texts. A familiar blonde head bobbed in the crowd, coming to the car. When Sophie opened the door, Lok was right there mouth running a mile a minute.
"Okay, the entire student body is on the lawn! Scarlet can't even move! Everyone is outraged by what she did! It's unbelievable!" As the four slipped through the crowd, Lok took Sophie's hand in his. A curious spark ran through the girl. She let him lead her through the pressing throng of people. It took them five minutes to get through the crowd. As they walked through the door, Scarlet tried to approach Sophie, but several students pushed her aside. Instead the Irish redhead settled with a glare.
"Wow!" Sophie breathed. Lok turned his on Sophie. The sunlight turned her hair to fire. Her green orbs were alight with fascination.
"You got that right."Sophie tilted her head up, her eyes met his. Time froze. Everything hung in the air for a nanosecond. But then, eye contact was broken. Everything went on as if nothing happened. Every single student was late to first period. The teachers didn't even bother handing out detention; it wouldn't be punishment if everyone was there. It'd be a party.
It was odd for Sophie. Not once did anyone push her over or trip her or insult her, It felt...good. Strange, but good.
"See ya Sophie!" The day was over too fast for the girl in question. The long walk home was made worse by the rain. It poured from the heavens like tears. Real tears feel down Sophie's face. The shortcut through the cemetery was the reason. Her mother's empty tomb lay at her feet. She neglected to tell Lok that her mother was originally buried, but Sophie's aunt stole the body with Sophie and gave Mrs. Casterwill a proper burial. The sound of sniffles reached Sophie's ears. Curiously, she wandered toward the sound silently.
"Dad, I miss you. I don't know what to do! I almost lost her. Please help me. I wish you were here." Sophie turned the corner to see Lok kneeling in front of a gravestone. A small gasp escaped through Sophie's open lips. She had no idea.
"Please, Dad. I need your advice. Please help me. I think I have it bad for – " A stick cracked. Sophie slid behind a big headstone. Her eyes found a lone figure by another grave. She watched as tears slid down their face. Sobs seemed to echo all around her. Misery resounded in her ears. Sorrow, hurt, pain surrounded her. Caged, she felt caged. More mourning figures surrounded her. Her vision got blurry. The ground seemed to rise up. Voices grabbed at her but she slipped into the abyss.
