Chapter 10
The swings were her place. Lilac and her friends came down before everyone else in the class and ran right to them, sending out Franklin to get all our food so they could stand guard. The swings were their place. At least they were. Today they were getting knocked down. Unlike when they protected the swings from the other kids the five of them stood watching, powerless. They had come during the holidays, while other kids were talking with their parent's and have birthday parties to the playground, to grieve.
"Hey! Look at those kids; don't they know its holidays?" A stupid older kid yelled from across the street. Then their friends laughed and moved away. Jasper dropped to his knees, bowing his head. "I will always treasure your memory. We had such great times." His voice cracked and he pulled out a eye dropper. Tears now coming out of his eyes he gripped onto eth metal fence. "Oh! The pain! The pain is just too much."
"I hate those kids." Franklin muttered, watching the older kids walk away.
"Yeah, older kids are so stupid. You know my teacher said that all grade sixers act like pre-schoolers." Jack said a smile on his face. Jack didn't normally pay attention in class, and the only time he did was when the teacher wasn't saying anything important, though it wasn't like Lilac could say any otherwise, most of the time she wasn't even in the classroom instead spending half her school days in the principal's office.
"Pre-schoolers are stupid." Zack, Jack's twin, said.
"Ex-act-tally," Jack said. "Older kids, and younger kids, they're all stupid."
Not a lot happening in this chapter, more of just some foregrounding and stuff. By the way, the story just had a two year time skip, I tried to make it obvious but yeah…
