Bullied Little Hipster

Chapter 10: Issues

                             Sollux POV

Great it hasn't even been an hour yet and people are having issues. The minute Eridan and I got into the class everyone started gawking at us. It was becoming annoying very quickly.

'Thtop looking at uth already. Like you've never theen two people walk into clath  before.' I yelled within my mind. This was highly irritating.

Before I could yell at them to stop talking Mr. English, our English teacher, walked in.

"Good morn, class. How was your break?" Mr. English asked in his British accent. Everyone just about yelled trying to tell him, but then I saw Aradia put her hand up.

"How about we ask Eridan how his break was. After all, I heard he tried to kill himself." She said smugly. Crap, I forgot that Aradia hates Eridan. I looked in Eridan's direction to see that he paled slightly. Everyone looked at Eridan for confirmation. He just squirmed uncomfortably in his seat.

"Mr. Ampora is this true?" Asked Mr. English in concern. Eridan just slightly nodded.

"Obviously he did it to get attention." Aradia scoffed. I clenched my fists in anger. How dare she say that about Eridan? She doesn't know anything about him.

"Now Ms. Megido, that's enough, suicide is nothing to scoff about." Mr. English tried to tell her, but she just rolled her eyes.

After that class went on normally, but I couldn't help, but shake the feeling that something bad was gonna happen.

Lunch

It's lunch and I don't see Eridan. He promised me that he would be sit with me. I walk to the cafeteria line and I couldn't help but listen to the people in front of me's conversation.

"-Heard Aradia say that she was gonna 'speak' to Ampora." Said person one.

"She's gonna set him straight. I can't believe that Ampora would make Sollux feel guilty about hurting him. If anything Ampora deserved it." Said person two.

"Serves Ampora right." Replied person one.

I tuned out the rest of their conversation. Aradia is gonna hurt Eridan? Oh no.

I ran out of the cafeteria trying to look for Eridan. I looked just about everywhere, when I heard a yell that sounded just like Aradia. I ran to the destination and I stopped outside the old and abandoned music classroom. I quietly opened the door and saw Aradia and a couple of her goons beating up Eridan.

"Hey! Back away from him!" I yelled at them getting in front of Eridan and taking a hit for him.

"Why are you protecting this loser? You never cared before." questioned Aradia. I just glared at her. I could tell she didn't like that because she tried to slap me. I just grabbed her wrist and applied pressure to it. It made her wince.

"Let'th get thomething thraight. Don't you EVER put your filthy, whorithh handth on him. He'th my friend and I don't tolerate people hurting my friendth. Thith ith your firtht and final warning. Thtay away from Eridan. Do. You. Underthand?" I demanded coldly. She nodded her head quickly and I pushed her away. I never seen someone run so fast.

I placed Aradia at the back of my mind and picked up Eridan bridal-style.

"Can't thtay out of trouble can you ED" I said to an unconscious Eridan. I carried Eridan to the nurse's office.

Pleathe be okay ED.
