Lunch the next day was hell; I was so tired it wasn't even funny, I was so hungry and I didn't have enough money to get as much as I needed so I was going to be hungry until I got home. I just sat there, eating my pasta quietly, trying not to fall asleep.
"Yo Kyle, you don't look so good. Long night?" Lenny asked.
"More than you know." I muttered. He chewed a large chunk of pizza, and then he looked up.
"Hello." He said, his face blushing. I turned around and saw who it was, it was Mindi.
"Hi Mindi, wanna sit down this time or are you gonna walk off again?" I asked. She calmly pulled up a chair, placing her food tray down next to me.
"Mindi, that's such a hot name." Lenny said, I rolled my eyes.
"Your friend is a real tool, you know that." She said to me.
"I knew that when I first met him." I stated. She smiled slightly.
"So, what kind of movies are you into?" I asked.
"What is that, some kind of corny date line?" she asked.
"Just a question." I retorted, chuckling.
"I don't really watch movies." She replied, "I find them to be time wasters." She stated.
"Well, I don't watch many either, I usually do active things." I replied.
"How many parents do you have in your house?" She asked me.
"That was quite a leap to a different subject." I stated.
"How many?" she asked.
"One, my dad brings home dates every once and a while." I said.
"Where's your mother?" she asked, stopping the walk we were taking.
"She was a drunk, one day she had just a little bit more than she should have. She crashed her car, head on into a tree and went through the windshield." I replied.
"Oh shit, I'm sorry." She said apologetically.
"You?" I asked.
"None, I live with a guardian." She replied, "Unlike you, I can't talk about it." she finished.
"Then I won't ask." I retorted.
"Thanks." She replied.
We were in front of what I was assuming was her house; she was walking up the steps.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow at school." I said,
"Tomorrow is Saturday genius." She replied. I chuckled at my own stupidity and she stopped in front of her door.
"Thanks for walking me home Kyle." She said.
"It was fun. Goodnight." I said,
"Goodnight."
I couldn't get Mindi or Hit-Girl out of my head. I also couldn't stop thinking about the fact that I actually killed two people and it didn't even so much as make me flinch. Yeah, I had a nightmare the night before but no visible damage. I kept thinking about what I might turn into, was it true what people say, when you start killing you can't stop?
"Hood, you ready?" Hit-Girl called through my open window.
"yeah." I said, getting up from my desk. It was 12:43 AM, and we were going out crime fighting. Whether or not that whole stopping killing biz is true or not, I have an obligation to uphold. And I will uphold it.
