Chapter 3 Compassion is for the weak
Iziah;
As soon as the bell rung I was outta that hell hole and went straight to the cafeteria, I was actually hungry and was willing to eat the gross school food. I guess it came down which was stronger, my hunger or there grossness. I went straight to our table and sat with my girls, it didn't shock me that Raven was there first, food was her weakness, but Harmoni and Jamie usually took longer to get there.
"Hey guys,"
"Hey Izzy, how was class?"
"Class was annoying, I gotta read Hamlet, how is that gonna help me?"
"It might help you learn compassion" Harmoni laughed nudging me under the table. "Would that be such a bad thing?"
"Yes" I said seriously, compassion was for the weak, there was no way I could ever feel compassion for anyone other than my sisters, these people didn't deserve my compassion. Raven didn't say anything, her eyes were too busy at another table.
"What are you looking at Rae?"
She didn't say so I followed her gaze, she was looking at Randy Orton, all by himself pretending that he didn't care that Barbie and her table were talking about him.
"Why are you starin at that douche-conoe?"
"I kinda feel sorry for him" Raven said softly finally looking at us, I really couldn't believe what I just heard, if there was one thing I hated about my sister its the fact that she can find compassion for almost everybody. Well except that whore and that creep in the alley. I knew she would never find compassion for those two.
"Why the hell would you feel sorry for him?" I didn't even bother to keep my voice down, I was too confused, confused and angry.
Raven shrugged "He's all by himself, his friends just ditched him and now he's gotta go through all this crap by himself"
"So? He deserves it"
Raven didn't say anything but stared at him again, his shoulders slumped down, he had been taken down a peg. Good, couldn't of happened to a nicer guy.
"Can I remind you that he was the guy that made Harmoni have asthma attacks about every day, he used to blow saw dust in face and laugh as her face turned red as she struggled to breathe" I paused but she didn't say anything, "He pushed me into a locker while my wrist was broken, thanks to him I can't move my wrist properly because he's broken it beyond repair. He dumped Jamie's food over you knowing that we had no money to buy her anymore"
"Izzy"
I kept going, getting angrier as I kept talking. "Can I remind you that he was reason why you were locked away in that hell hole longer, he pushed you into a locker and to protect himself he told the principal that his push didn't even happen, apparently you did it to yourself to get him in trouble"
Raven shut up again
"He cracked your skull open, twice!"
"Alright I get it," Raven said finally looking at me, "I haven't forgotten what he's done but I can't help but feel sorry for him, I mean we're used to the crap, he's not"
I shook my head, silver ringlets flying about. "Just please tell me that you're not gonna be all buddy-buddy with him. Because keep in mind what he and his cronies did to Jamie"
"I know I won't" Jamie piped up "I didn't like his hands, they were rough and gross" Jamie's face wrinkled up in disgust, her memory was sieve like, but she could remember traumatic events, what Randy, Ted and Cody was one of those events.
"I'm not gonna buddy-buddy him, I still don't like him but that don't mean I can't feel sorry for him"
"Thank you!"
Raven laughed, "Please don't pick fights with him though, this year is gonna be tough for him and he's gonna want someone to vent on and I don't want it to be you"
I rolled my eyes, I wasn't as stupid as people thought, people just seemed to open their big mouths when they thought your skull was empty. Speaking of empty skulls, John Cena made his way up to me with his tray. I didn't like John for every reason under the sun but I guess the main one was, he was what I called a silent bully, he didn't help Randy hurt us, but he didn't exactly help us either. Every time he pushed me into the locker, he would just laugh. He didn't try to pull him away, or tell him to stop. No, he just let Randy do it all the while laughing that annoying laugh.
"Hey Izzy" He glowed at me, his blue eyes dancing. I hated everything about John Cena, you'd think it would be a waste of my time.
"What do you want?"
He looked me up and down which made me wanna punch him until he stopped breathing "You got hot over the summer"
"And you're gonna get rigamortis if you don't go away right now"
He flashed me a grin before shuffling towards Randy. "See, he's not alone, now you can stop feelin sorry for him" I said to Raven darkly.
