Q/A: What did you have/are going to have for lunch?
⚜⚜⚜
"Axis," whispered a voice. "Axis, wake up."
I groaned, lazily swatting my hand in the air.
"Axis," the hoarse voice repeated.
"Fuck off," I growled, turning my head the other way.
"Eric!"
My eyes flung open and I frantically looked around.
"I didn't eat the last cookie!" I rasped.
Reality slowly whirled back into place a I recognized my surroundings: front seat, cop car, Christopher behind the steering wheel...
My face fell and I let out a heavy sigh.
"Fuck," I muttered, rubbing my tired eyes.
"Goodmorning to you too, sunshine," he chuckled. My back slumped against the seat as I ran a frustrated hair through my hair.
"I told you not to call me that," I mumbled.
"What, sunshine?" He blinked.
"No, Eric."
"My name is Christopher. Chris for short."
I glared at him hoping to shoot holes in him. I was not in the mood for his dad jokes.
"Would you like it if I called you Benedict Pantyhose? No, I don't think so, so use my name. My real one."
"Sorry," he said, but he didn't sound sorry at all. "You weren't waking up when I called you Axis."
"I was deliberately ignoring you."
Christopher studied my face. He must have realized that I wasn't joking about my name.
"Sorry," he apologized once more, sounding more genuine. "Are you ready for the big day?"
The Big Day.
My jaw tightened as a string of unwanted memories poured through my mind.
"No one ever picks me," I murmured under my breath as I gazed out the window. The world was a blurry mess. I wish the car would never stop moving so I wouldn't have to get out.
"What?"
"Nothing."
A week had gone by since my arrest. The papers were filled out and I was officially enrolled in Serpenti High. I said goodbye to Juliet this morning who couldn't see me off because of work.
She hugged me tightly and told me that I could stay with them during vacation, and said if I had any problems, I could call her or Christopher.
The unfamiliar warmth and kind words from an adult made me feel uncomfortable, but deep down, I didn't hate it. Of course, I didn't tell her and simply nodded. I gave her a wave, shuffling out of the house that I didn't expect to walk into again.
"We're here," Christopher announced.
Christopher drove me to school which was a forty-five-minute drive. I fell asleep on the way and now that I was awake, I could feel fear and realization creep over my shoulders. Butterflies swirled in my stomach and not the good kind. It felt like a tornado of infested moths were slowly nibbling at my organs. I felt sick.
