A Broken Angel

Chapter 4 ~ Spilt Milk and Eating Habits

     It is lunch time now as students enter the cafeteria. Aurora and Lucille entered the cafeteria while talking to each other. Aurora looked around the cafeteria and walked to an empty table with Lucille, both of them sitting down. Aurora put her backpack under the table near her seat after taking out her water bottle and putting it on the table. Lucille took out her own lunch from home.

     "Hey Lucille...umm... can you watch my stuff while I go get something to eat please...? Aurora softly asks.

     Lucille replies, "Sure, you go and get your lunch, I'll be right here." Aurora smiled a little and nodded as she walked towards one of the lunch lines. While waiting in line, Aurora saw Caitlyn and her friends coming towards her and rolled her eyes. Caitlyn softly says but just loud enough for Aurora to hear, "Awwww, is the Fat Pig going to eat a burger now? Food can't make you any less uglier." Caitlyn laughs, pushing Aurora a little and walked away on her heels.

     A couple minutes later, Aurora returns to the table that Lucille was waiting at with a salad and a banana. "Not that hungry?, Lucille asks while tilting her head. Aurora replies, "Y-Yea... I.. um... kinda had a big breakfast." Lucille could tell something was wrong but didn't push her to say anything. Aurora opens her water bottle, taking a couple sips, and then opens her salad and starts picking at it a little, taking two bites of it then opening her banana and taking two bites of it.

     After taking only a couple bites, Aurora gathered the lunch up and got up, throwing it in the trash. Aurora comes back to the table and sits down, smiling a little as she makes small-talk with Lucille. Lucille gets up to go throw her trash away. While Lucille is gone, Caitlyn and her friends come up to the table Aurora is at. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the disgusting slut," Caitlyn says as she's holding a milk carton.

     Aurora sighs and replies, "Can you...please leave me alone...?" Caitlyn acts like she's taken aback by the comment then instantly smirks. "Eww, what's that smell?" Rosaline says as she holds her nose. Stacy adds, "Yea, it smells like someone didn't shower."

     Caitlyn smells around Aurora's presence. "Eww, why do you stink so bad?," Caitlyn exaggerates. Aurora acts like she didn't hear Caitlyn. All three girls turn around and whisper to each other. Aurora didn't know what was about to happen.

     Caitlyn turns around with her milk carton that she barely drank, grabs Aurora's beanie off, and then dumps the milk on Aurora's head. Aurora shot up into a standing position while her hair was dripping on her jacket and jeans. She shoved passed Caitlyn and her friends, grabbing her beanie back, and runs out of the cafeteria with her backpack. Everyone except Lucille was laughing. Aurora runs into the bathroom and then she quickly goes over to the sink and tries to get the milk out of her hair, jacket, and jeans.

     The milk came out of her hair and jeans just fine. Her jacket needed a bit more work. Aurora takes off her jacket, her arms being exposed. She was just about finished when she heard someone coming into the bathroom but then didn't as if they changed their mind. Aurora grabbed her stuff and locked herself in a stall.

     She carefully hung up her jacket on the hook that was in the stall. By then, Aurora was already crying silently. She sat on the toilet, then opened her backpack and starts digging through it. Aurora pulls out her makeup bag and then takes out a razor from it. She looks at her inner right arm for a minute, already having four cuts on it from the previous night, and she adds six more cuts to her arm. Watching the blood run down her arm for a moment and her stress melt away, Aurora calms down, takes toilet paper and then applies pressure to the wounds.

     After the wounds stopped bleeding, Aurora puts the toilet paper in the toilet and puts the razor back in her makeup bag but doesn't close it. She then pulls out her blue and black striped arm warmers. Aurora smoothly and quickly takes off each of her bracelets to put on the arm warmers. Putting her bracelets back on and then flushing the toilet, Aurora grabs her jacket from the hook then her makeup bag and her half opened backpack then goes over to the sink. She flips her arm warmers a bit after putting her makeup bag on the counter as well as her jacket and washes her hands then carefully washes the razor.

     Aurora puts the razor back into her makeup bag, making sure it's buried under products. Then she fixes her arm warmers so nothing is exposed. Aurora quickly fixes her eyeliner so it doesn't look like she was crying then she puts the makeup bag back in her backpack and grabs a brush. She then starts fixing her hair and puts her beanie back on then looks in the mirror. Lucille comes running in after a couple minutes and stops in her tracks.

     "Wow, you look amazing!" Lucille says while looking at Aurora. Smiling a little, Aurora turns around and replies, "Thank you...um...it wasn't really hard... to get milk out... of stuff. I might...have to throw my jacket in... um... the washing machine though..." Lucille smiles gently and asks, "Are you okay?" Aurora just nods then Lucille says, "Okay, let's continue the school day." Aurora gathered her stuff and then grabs Lucille's hand, letting her take the lead to go to the rest of the classes.
