Forty-Six - Siegrain Fernandes
Siegrain was about ready to snap. Nothing had gone according to plan. By this point, he had expected his life to have fallen into place. Instead, he was suffering daily ridicule and it was not helping his case with his father, who had left on yet another business trip. On top of all that, the portion of his plan that he had considered the easiest, had completely fallen apart.
He hadn't seen Erza at all since she had returned from the hospital. What was even more infuriating was that Jellal was now with her all the time. Why couldn't he have foreseen that outcome when he got Jellal kicked out? Why couldn't Jellal have gone to stay with Ultear instead? Sieg sighed in frustration as he thought of Ultear.
She had been outright ignoring him, even when they had to interact for the student council, she spoke to him via others. She had always been by his side, helping him and supporting him through everything. Even after she had stopped helping with anything that she deemed 'immoral' she still stuck by his side. Now, it seemed he had lost her, and that, for some reason, upset him more than anything else. When their student council meeting ended, she and Meredy left the room without a word to him.
He followed, several yards behind, as they walked down the street. He ignored his phone as it got a text message, assuming that is was what it always had been, recently. Everyone seemed to have fully embraced the trend of passing on that stupid message. He'd gotten numerous messages, he'd heard people speak it aloud, he'd seen it scrawled on tables and walls, he was pretty sure there was even a tumblr blog dedicated to it, .com. But now he saw it in a new form, as he looked upon the brick wall that surrounded his house.
'Siegrain's a bag of dicks.' the graffiti taunted.
"That's not even the right saying," he said, meaning to grumble under his breath, but evidently being a bit louder, as Ultear and Meredy looked back at him. "They didn't even get it right," he said, quite loudly this time.
"Sieg," Ultear started, but he ignored her.
He also ignored the several other people who happened to be nearby, also walking home from school. They stopped to watch as he grew steadily angrier. He threw his arms in the air and started shouting.
"It's not even right!" he exclaimed. "They didn't even bother to get the insult correct when publicly mocking me!" Ultear had turned to him entirely now, looking concerned, but he paid her no mind, looking back at the wall. "It's 'Siegrain-sama is a great big bag of dicks, pass it on!' If your going to insult me, do it right!"
He punched the wall and immediately regretted it as the bricks scraped his knuckles and he felt one of his fingers crack painfully. He stormed towards the house, trying not to think about how at least a dozen people had just watched him have a mental breakdown. He especially tried not to think about how one of them was Ultear. Would she ever come back to him now? Probably not.
