A Broken Angel

Chapter 3 ~ Predicament

* In the Math Class *

     Aurora was quietly drawing in her drawing book while waiting for class to begin. Glancing up at the clock, she noticed she had about 5 minutes before the class started. Mr. Williams walks over to Aurora's desk and places a worksheet on top. "Since you're the first one here, I thought it would be good to show you what we're doing today." He exclaimed.

     Aurora nodded and said softly, "Um... T-Thank...you.." Mr. Williams replies, "You're very welcome Aurora." He starts to walk back to his desk when he notices her drawing of a girl hanging from a tree attached by a rope on her neck. "That's an interesting drawing hun." He says with a bit of a concerned look. Aurora closes her drawing book quickly and gives Mr. Williams a small smile.

     "Y-Yea...um...it's for a... uh.... p-project..." Aurora claimed as she covered up the truth. Mr. Williams smiles as he nodded. While he was walking back, the bell rang for the day to start. Students start coming into the class to get the day started.

     Aurora put her name on the worksheet that Mr. Williams gave her as more students rush into the class, making it seem more crowded. Aurora looks up from the paper and her eyes widen in fear, seeing a familiar face walk in. Caitlyn, who walked in like she owned the place, noticed Aurora and smirked. Aurora sunk into her chair. While thinking please, can this class go by fast?, Aurora tried to start on the worksheet.

     Caitlyn's heels clink against the floor as she makes her way to the back of the class where Aurora was. Caitlyn slams her hands on the desk Aurora is sitting at, causing her to jump and look up. "Hey Freak of Sleeping Beauty, you're in my spot," Caitlyn says. Aurora mumbles, "Mister Williams said I could sit anywhere though." Caitlyn snickers and says, "Well, he doesn't own the school. Now why don't you move your disgusting ass to a different seat or I WILL-" Mr. Williams cleared his throat to get Caitlyn's attention.

     "Excuse me, what seems to be the problem?" Mr. Williams asks Caitlyn loud. Caitlyn turns to Mr. Williams, giving him a puppy dog look and says, "She took the seat I was gonna sit at and it messes up my concentration if I don't sit there." Mr. Williams replies, "I'm sure you can focus just fine in any other seat." Caitlyn says, "But I need to be in that seat." Mr. Williams clears his throat again and says, "Now madam, I suggest you either find a different seat or I will send you to the principal's office, do I make myself clear?"

     Caitlyn huffed and stomped off to the other corner of the class and slid into the seat. As the last few students came into the class, Mr. Williams began talking about himself and about the curriculum. Mr.Williams started passing out worksheets to everyone and a second worksheet to Aurora that was full of math equations since she seemed to be halfway done with the first worksheet and a note lands on Aurora's desk while Mr. Williams wasn't looking. Aurora hesitantly grabs it and reads it silently. "Go die in a hole freak." The note says. Aurora puts the note in her pocket and tries to finish working on the first worksheet.

     After a couple minutes, another note lands on Aurora's desk. Aurora opens it and reads it. "Why don't you do us a favor and kill yourself?" The second note reads. Aurora looked around and noticed Caitlyn was glaring at her. Shoving the second note in her pocket and gathering her stuff in her hands, Aurora gets up and goes up to Mr. Williams's desk.

     "Umm.... Mr. Williams...? Can I.... umm...go work...in the hall...please...? I'm getting distracted..." Aurora asks.

     Mr. Williams looks up and nods with a gentle smile. "Sure hun, just be sure to come back after class to turn those worksheets in if you've finished them," He says. Aurora smiles and nods, then walks off. She exits the class into the hall and sits cross-legged on the floor. Aurora starts working on the worksheets while humming softly to herself.

     After ten minutes, Aurora finishes the worksheets Mr. Williams had given her. With an additional ten minutes left to spare, Aurora decided to continue her drawing. She adds "Break The Silence" to the bottom right corner while writing in cursive and curving it. Then under that, "and End The Pain" is added to it by Aurora. Smiling at the finished product, she closes her drawing book while gathering her stuff up and gets up slowly as the bell rang.

     Students started to exit their classes as the halls started to become crowded. Aurora waited til almost everyone came out of Mr. Williams's class and she entered hesitantly. Not knowing what she's walking into, Aurora is met with her papers and drawing book knocked out of her hands and scattered around the classroom floor. "You better watch it, dumbass whore," Caitlyn spat out with a smirk as she exited snobbishly. Aurora sighed, kneels down to pick up her things, and Mr. Williams came to help too as Aurora gave him the worksheets. Exiting the classroom, Aurora met up with Lucille and they walked to their classes together until lunch.
