The Mission

Four

I walked to my next class, and I passed Becca who was also heading to that same class.

"Hello Izzy," she said

"Becca leave me alone. I'm not putting up with your stupid shit today," I told her.

She looked at me with a small smile. "How are you dealing with being parentless? Have you gotten over it?"

Izzy stay calm.

I looked at one of her cult members I can't believe she actually said it.

I didn't respond to Becca knowing of I did I'd probably do something to get me expelled. "I'm doing fine," I told her.

"DHS didn't find you new parents?" She smirked.

Izzy stay calm. Stay calm. She just wants a reaction out of you.  Don't give her the reaction she wants.

"No. Since I am 17 a lawyer and I filed for emancipation so I could live on my own," I told her.

"At home in the streets," she laughed.

Fuck it. "Yes, my parents died Becca. I remember the exact moment. They both did not have a DNR and when the doctors told me they weren't going to wake up I was the one who had to say that I needed to take them off the vents... I watched my parents die. I watched the heart monitor flatline. I watched them die. I am not homeless I still live at the same house. I work nearly 40 hours a week to pay for electric, phone, water, heat for food. Medical appointments. And what do you do. Sit on your ass at home while you are babysat you and get you everything you want. I have a life. I work at a hospital that I love. I love my job. So, you can do me a great favor and shut the fuck up before I kill you, "My voice gradually got louder and louder. "Go to hell Becca. I hope you die a slow painful death," I said to her before I moved outside.

I didn't care if I was late to class. I was going to explode. Shes lucky I didn't hit her. All I wanted to do was hit her. Make her suffer.

I paced outside for twenty minutes before heading to my class. Thank God Felix wasn't here I don't have any more patience for the day.

"Thanks for Joining us Izzy," Michelle said.

"Sorry I whispered," I looked away sitting down not looking at anyone.

"Hey," Alec said. "Are you..."

"Fine. I'm perfectly fine," I said to him.

He nodded and looked down.

"I'm not in the best mood and I'm about ready to kill someone so please follow along with me and don't talk. Write down questions you have, and I will answer tomorrow. Understand?"

"Yes," he said

I thought about reading his mind but I am also not in the mood for that either. I hope they do kill her. "Okay. So, there are four chambers of the heart, the left atrium, right atrium. These are the upper chambers at the top of the heart and the right and left ventricle are the two lower lobes.  This is the tricuspid and this is the bicuspid. This is the Vena cava and that's where the blood goes in. This is how the blood flows. It goes in through the vena cava. Into the left ventricle, through the tricuspid valve, which separates the upper and lower ventricle. The blood next goes though the pulmonary valve and goes back in through pulmonary veins. Goes through the mitral valve which separates the top and bottom chambers and goes out the Aorta," I said and touched his hand gliding his finger so he could trace the blood flow of the heart. "Arteries go away from the heart and veins go back to the heart," I said. "Fill out the diagram exactly like mine and study it, by Thursday I expect you to know this," I said the looked down.
