Chapter 10 Shatter

Raven;

"How the hell do you get detention before school?" I looked to Iziah as we walked down the corriders towards the lockers, shockingly we were early enough to stop by them without being late. It puzzled me how Iziah worked sometimes, I swear if she was confined to a corner with nothing to do she would still find a way to get into trouble. Iziah laughed flicking hair off her shoulders,

"He deserved it"

"Who deserved what?" I asked, even though I had a rough idea who she was talking about, I heard the rumors and crap floating about, I wasn't sure if she had though, I'm picking she hadn't, or else she wouldn't be so damn calm about it. So far it was just me and her in the conversation, Jamie was too busy running her hands over the red lockers, the metal soft like rose petals to her, Harmoni hadn't said much of anything since we left the house, she was busy agonizing over Seth, I think she half expected the pitch forks out, calling her that four letter S word that would send her crazy, you think people would of learnt by now not call her, or us for that matter, that but he, some people are just plain idiots.

"John Cena" Izzy spit out evily, just saying his name made her poison flow, "He was lookin at my tits"

"How do you know that?"

"Because he turned around and said 'Nice tits Izzy'. So I punched him in the hip. But you know, only I got in trouble, golden boy gets away with it. Again." And just like that she was off, ranting and raving about how they had it so easy, to be fair, she had a point. I pushed her towards detention where desks, lines and Mr Calloway were waiting. I doubted she would be in there very long, long enough so she got ticked off as there, and then go missing. We both knew that Mr Calloway didn't care, as long as he didn't have to chase her, she could get away with anything. "Alright I'm going, stop shovin"

The bell rung and just like that the halls started to move faster, people moving, trying to get to class before being late. Jamie looked at her schedule, relieved that cooking was second and not first, she told me what happened to her cupcakes, I saw how upset she was but she couldn't or wouldn't tell me who did it, but when she skipped away talking about stupid ground hogs I knew she would be alright, she had a plan, she was more Michales than anyone thought.

"Ms Michales"

"Vice principal jackass, I mean Cena" Thats right, golden boy was the son of the vice principal, no wonder he never got in trouble,told you Izzy had a point.

"Ms Michales I would like a word"

"Asshole. All your's big-guy"

Harmoni bit her laugh, trying not to laugh. He flicked her a look but didn't say anything, he turned back to me, "Ms Michales" "Stop callin me that, its annoyin. In fact the next person, student or staff, to call me that is gonna get punched in the face"

I can't believe that it worked, I really thought some sort of speech about non-violence was coming, instead he cleared his throat and started again "Raven, I need you to clear out your locker"

"Wow, that was fast. No trouble, no trial, just good-bye and good luck"

"Your locker from last year, we cannot seem to open it"

"Imagine that, its almost as if I wasn't supplied a lock and you fuckers refused to help me when my stuff was stolen, but you would randomly go through it as though I was damn dirty druggie"

He ignored me, typical. "You need to open it, clear it, and clean it so we can give it to our new student"

"And can you tell Mr Sandow that I won't be in English"

He looked at his watch, that smug smile on his face, I beat him too it. "Well I'm goin to English, I'll clean out the locker when I can but then theres the case of remembering the lock code, hmmm that could take a while"

He relented, I knew he would. Idiot. "Alright I'll tell him you won't be in English"

"Was that so hard?" I waved him away from me, sometimes you needed to give the illusion that you had power that didn't exsist, if you made the illusion real enough they believed you, "You can go now"

"Do you want some help?" Harmoni finally said something, I could tell that she would rather help me than go to Chem, where obviously she would run into Seth, I knew it was something she couldn't face this early in the day.

"Sure, but you gotta go to Art, you can't avoid him forever"

"Yeah, yeah. By the way keep your giant boobs away from him"

I stopped in my tracks and just looked at her, that sentence said so much yet so little, a little more explaining would help. "What?"

"You heard me, Keep your boobs away from him, I don't want you luring him away with hopes of your giant boobs"

Seriously? And they call me insane, "Fine I'll keep my giant chest away from Seth Rollins. Can I just point out one teeny tiny little thing, and this may not be nothing, but he likes YOU, no amount of my giant chest is gonna change that"

Harm finally smiled, "Sorry. Can't help it" She really couldn't, when your twin stabs you in the back by stealing your boyfriend, it sticks with you, she knew that wasn't an issue with us, but sometimes she just couldn't help it. Which is way we didn't pummel her the way we did with everyone else, she was just protecting her heart. We and yes even Iziah, got that.

When we got to the old locker, another head shake of knowledge growled at me, new student my ass. My old locker was next to Iziah's current one, golden boy strikes again. Locker was easy to open, lock code was 111, see, stupid people everywhere. The rotting smell poured over us, Harmoni went green, blocking her nose and trying not to vomit. I took a whiff, riffling through the garbage, "Cheese, ham and tomato. Yummy!" I pulled out a very gnarly smelling sandwich, Harmoni instantly took it off me and threw it in the bin.

"You are not eating that"

"You never let me eat what I want" I grumbled, just because my digestive system was sensitive didn't mean I stuck to the stupid diet I was given, more than once she had caught me eating something I shouldn't, chocolate was usually my main guilty pleasure.

"Yeah, I'm funny like that, not wanting my sister to get sick and die."

I ignored that but got the point, at least I was still her sister, or at least a sister she cared about. If I was that whore she would be stuffing the thing down my throat, actually I don't think I would even get this far if I was that whore. Harmoni may be the sweetest out of us three older girls, but when Iziah is your sister, you have a mean streak and Harm's comes out when that whore is around, after seein that, makes me real glad, she's on my side, who knew long legs would be a great asset. I pulled out more rotting garbage and bits of paper, it all went in the bin, I didn't see a point in keepin anything from here, most of it was rotting food, and if she wasn't standing there watching me like a damn hawk, I would of kept the melted Kit-Kat bar. Sadly, I put it in the bin. I was about to shut the locker door when I noticed the taped note on the inside, I usually saw that kind of thing right off the bat, but I guess the smell got to us. Pulling it down, I wondered if I should throw it away, but I couldn't, I needed to know what was in it. Ripping it open, I smothered it out so it was readable, six words sent me back to that un-speakable rage, six words sent the fury running like hot lead through my core. Blood didn't flow through me now, it was venom, raw heated venom spilling through my body like an injection. More torture added to the hell I was already going through, the summer hadn't been a picnic like it had been for everyone else, mine was hellish, and that was saying something. I didn't blink, I didn't breathe, I just stood there trying to force my brain to stop seeing red, it wasn't working.

"Raven?" Harmoni asked tapping my shoulder, I didn't feel it, all I felt was rage, hot and raw. Pulsing through me like my life line, I had only ever been angry like this once and it was enough to scare them into locking me away. I didn't care, I had been through it once, I could do it again. Harmoni took the paper off me and skimmed it, two seconds later she got mad and then two seconds later she was using her soothing voice, the one she used when Jamie woke up screaming from nightmares. "Rae, you have to calm down"

"Oh I'm calm. I'm calmer than ever before" If eyes could flash emotion, mine would be evil rage red.

"Raven, remember moving on, forgettin the past, no point in being angry"

I looked up at her, cold evil ice spitting out my voice, "He ruined my life now I'm going to ruin his" I stomped past her and towards English, she tailed after me, I knew she would try to stop me, well until I put her harms way then it became a case of self protection first, others last. I heard Mr Sandow before I was even reletively close to the room, his voice bellowing out instructions, Harm grabbed my arm, little pranks and mini destruction she could take, she could allow, but someone like me with vexation, she knew the damage would be permanant, not just for them but for me as well. "Raven calm down" She almost pleaded, her nails raking my skin, "You're a leaf, a leaf in a calm stream"

"Fuck the stream!" I shouted pushing the door open, they jumped, they questioned but I couldn't hear it. I stalked to the back where he was. They screamed, they bellowed, all I did was punch his pretty little nose until I heard the delicious crack, his blood smeared on my fist. I tried to punch him again but Mr Sandow pulled me away, they still yelled and screamed, people trying to help him, people getting the hell away from me as though I was a wild animal out of its cage. I managed to get free long enough to grab his ear, his bloody face right up against mine, "This isn't over Orton, not by a long shot"
