Adam remained crouched in the same position as before. After his encounter with Amy he paused to reflect on what had happened. Amy was his friend. He had just panicked. It wasn't really his fault. She had scared him. He gingerly touched the needle protruding from his eye and swore. Dried blood and another gooey substance had gathered around the wound and he had to slap away the occasional fly. He still had some food and water and his nun-chucks and he still felt strong, despite a wound that should have weakened him. He had to survive. He had scores to settle. Vinny had to pay. It was his fault that he broke up with Abigail Hodgenson (female student number two). He had to survive long enough to wreak his revenge on the long haired hippie. How could Abi have left him to go off with that weirdo? What did she see in him? How could she hurt him like that? He thought back to that fateful day…
"Adam we need to talk" Abi shuffled on the spot.
"Are you breaking up with me?" Adam bawled.
"Um, well yeah"
"Why though? I mean have I upset you?
Adam looked around. No one was there to overhear the conversation. Abi had picked her spot well. Even though she was finishing him he still liked her style.
"We don't talk" Abi continued "and we have nothing in common. But, there is someone else"
"You've been cheating on me?" Adam practically shouted this and was thankful that the school field was empty. Anger battled with confusion. He thought he was doing fine with Abi. Who could have caused her to do this?
"No it's not like that! Nothing happened between us, I just feel that he would be a better boyfriend than you. I swear I've never cheated on you. Please believe me"
"Shut up, bitch!"
"HEY!"
Adam wheeled around. Vinny was standing on the lip of the field. He had obviously overheard their conversation and was preparing to defend Abi. Adam remembered that Vinny had as thing about people insulting girls in his presence. Perhaps it came from growing up with two Dykes instead of a dad. Adam raised his fists as Vinny prepared to strike him. Vinny's fist crashed into his nose sending blood poring down his face. Adam struck back with a vicious kick into Vinny's groin. Vinny rolled around in pain. Adam prepared to kick him again when a teacher appeared. They both were suspended that day.
The memory of that injustice burned in Adam's mind. He didn't know what he was more angry about, that day or the constant flies hovering around his weeping eye.
