OK, I've been here for two months, and I'm pissed off! The teacher failed me on a quiz when I got EVERY DAMN QUESTION RIGHT! And for some reason I haven't seen Gaz in like a month. Anyway, nobody messes with Katy Blue! I always get the last laugh, which is why I'm in the school at night pouring gasoline all over the place.
"What are we doing?" Sophie asked me, sounding tired.
"I'm burning this place to the ground Sophie!"
"Oh that sounds fun!" I chuckled at what Sophie said. After I emptied the last gasoline can, I pulled out a match and lit it, before dropping it to the ground.
"…I should've done this outside." I told myself as walls of fire rose around me. Why the fuck was I just standing there!? Why is the author making me stand here!? No I didn't break the forth wall…. Listen to me! I sound like J! I started coughing violently as smoke reached my lungs. I guess I should've taken my asthma into account huh? So, I broke into a run towards the front doors, only for a metal support beam to fall and block the way. Damn this place was flammable! I turned around and ran for my life, hoping to reach the back door before anything bad happened. As if on cue, a wooden beam fell from the roof and landed right on me, trapping my leg in the mess.
"Dammit!" I screamed as I attempted to pry the beam off my leg. It was too heavy for me too lift. I tried using my rock but the smoke made me too dizzy to concentrate! I just decided to lay down and accept my slow and painful death.
"Katy!" I heard Sophie call. "Go to sleep!"
"Huh?" I asked the soul girl in confusion. By now the sweat I gave off stuck my bangs to my forehead.
"Just go to sleep! Everything will be OK! I promise!" It seemed unlikely that sleeping would save me from this mess, but trusting Sophie was my last option so, I just closed my eyes and let the darkness come….
XXXXXXXX
I woke up coughing violently. I was still on the floor of the building, the beam that had trapped my leg reduced to ash. Somehow I was completely unharmed… And alive! Although I was covered in a lot of ash. I pushed myself up to my feet, shaking and coughing.
"S-Sophie?" Somehow the young soul trapped in my rock had saved me. I owe her.
"I feel tired Katy." Sophie whispered hoarsely. "Can I go to sleep for a minute?"
"Sure, whatever you like." I stuffed the rock back into my pocket and walked down the hallway, ducking under debris and stuff. Eventually I made it out the back door. It was still dark out. I heard adult voices come from the front of the school and broke into a run towards the forest. It was hard cause of my asthma, but eventually I made it back to my shelter. I grabbed my inhaler from my backpack and sprayed the medicine into my mouth. I had just recovered when I heard J of all people calling me. I stuffed the inhaler into my bag as J ran into my sights.
"Katy! Did you see what happened!? The school just burned down! They think it was an electrical fire- What the fuck are you covered in?" Dammit! I forgot I was covered in ash! J looked my over for a moment, before starring at me with a grim look. "Katy, did you-"
"Maybe I did!" I interrupted. "Are you going to turn me in!?"
"No." J answered, to my surprise. "Pretty much half the school wanted the building to get destroyed. You did your classmates a solid."
"Sooo… What now?" I asked solemnly.
"Well, I overheard the principle saying they were going to transfer us to a school in another town while this one's rebuilt."
"Oh…" I said in a flat tone.
"Yeah…. You should get yourself cleaned up." She turned to walk away before I called after her.
"What town are they transferring us to?"
"I heard South Park!" J called as she disappeared into the trees. I sighed and pulled my rock out.
"You OK Sophie?"
"I'm fine." She answered quietly. "Just tired."
"Well, just rest some more. I think we're going to a new town for a while."
"OK Katy."
"Sophie?"
"Yes?" I stared at the rock for a moment before responding.
"Thanks for saving me."
"You're welcome."
