Daggers of love

chapter 9

The court yard, a place where the rats tend to spend their mornings before class. We just hang out, talk shit, and smoke. "Every year, there's an album that's so over played, you can't get away from it" Petra spoke, sitting on a grave thing while bringing a cigarette up to her mouth to light it. "And you know, even if you liked it, after the proliferation, it becomes ear poison forever." Petra mumbled out, cigarette hanging out her lips as she struggles to light it. I look at billy, signalling towards Petra's unlit smoke. He got the hint and quickly moved towards her.

"what's really shocking is that you like INXS at all." He quickly placed a lit lighter under her cigarette, lighting it. I smirk, closing my eyes while laying on one of the tombs. "You usually have such great taste. Just doesn't seem like your thing." Bold assumption there billy.

"Michel Hutchece is every girl's thing" Petra spoke.

"amen" I replied, throwing my arm up in a fist. Not too long after that Marcus walked in, I kept my eyes closed.

"Hey, uh, what are you smoking?" I hear him hurry towards Petra; I knew she had just a cigarette. "Right, uh, got any weed?" seems a bit desperate if you ask me.

"We all enjoy a nip of pollen," lex states putting his British cock away, zipping up his pants and stepping away from the tombstone he just pissed on. "But first thing in the morning? Tres gauche" he spoke throwing a glass bottle to the side, making a very audible cling.

"Marcus just likes drugs, lex" billy piped up, I actually opened my eyes for this, Turing my head to the side to look at the group. "I like them too. Drugs are... very cool. No one ever tells you that."

"Maybe because they don't want 5-year old's doing heroin" I state closing my eyes again, facing the sky.

"What about the hessians?" Marcus asks

"Schools dry desperate dan." Petra said harshly

"You seem a bit antsy, you ok Marcus?" I ask, propping myself up via my elbows, looking at his agitated form.

"I'm fine y/n" he said looking at me.

"Well, that's a lie" I state, laying back down in my original position. He gave me a "really?" look, you know the one.

"You look like boiled asshole" billy mentioned, clearly not making Marcus feel any better.

"- yeah, I didn't sleep very well." As Marcus spoke the bell rang, I jumped up, making my way to Marcus's side.

"Now that, is you telling the truth" I state in a very matter of fact manner, pressing a single finger to his chest.

"y/n please tell me you have something" he turned to me desperately.

"Sorry bimbo, I got nothing" I walk away backwards, facing Marcus, expecting him to follow before stopping to wait for him to move his ass.

"Oh well, you'll have to face the day dry, son" lex makes his way to Marcus, placing his hands on his shoulders. "Easy dose it. let go and let god." Grabbing Marcus by the face, the same way I did. "One day at a time" lex pulls in kissing Marcus briefly before pulling away, ending it with a slap before fucking off. Marcus was slightly stunned, I laughed at this sight, Marcus looked at me, smirking at my laugh.

"Looks like you've got another addition to your kiss list" I say before slowly walking off, leaving Marcus alone. Once I'm out of sight I stop, watching from around the corner as he also stops in his tracks. Turning around looking a little stunned. He turns back and continues on walking in my direction, I stop him right as he walks past me "hey, somethings up." I state holding onto his bicep. He looked at me, debating his answer.

"I'm fine" he yanked himself out of my grasp and continued walking. I could tell he was lying but I decided not to push it, and decided just to head to class.

Poison lab.

"ICI expected VX pesticide would increase agricultural capacity." poison lab, my favourite, I was sitting next to Petra for this class too, even better. I had zoned out for probably the majority of the lesson before Petra nudged me, stating we needed to start writing notes. Marcus was behind me and billy was behind Petra. I knew class was nearly over so I tried to put at least some effort into the notes. "instead" Mr Denke continued, "they discovered one of the deadliest poisons on the planet. Guess what the government did with this miracle innovation."

"Gee, Mr. denke, they didn't use it on anyone, did they?" billy asked sarcastically, putting on a fake voice.

"Boy howdy, did they." I love to see how excited Mr Denke gets with the contents of his class, that's the reason he's my favourite teacher. "But what's really exciting is what they have planned. Uncle Sam is stockpiling this stuff. So are the soviets. Why?"

Without even a breath Petra speaks up, "to finish off whoever's left after the nukes?"

"Hey, you could slip some into Reagan's jellybeans, Marcus. You know, for when you kill the president?" some long haired, hippy, stoner kid teased, I can't remember his name, wasn't bothered to learn it. some people in the class giggle, Marcus didn't say anything back. The bell rang, I slowly decide to pack up.

"Homework is to make a list of other synthetic poison our overlords' horde." Mr Denke gets in, "have a good weekend, future disruptors of America" I look at Mr Denke, "and Italy" I smile grabbing my shit before heading out with Petra to study hall.

Study hall

Now this was boring, I was sitting away from the majority of my friends, alone, I decided not to study and just grabbed out a book to read instead. Alice's adventures in wonderland, my favorite book, it was a hard cover. An original copy that belonged to my great, great Nonno (grandfather). I tried to focus on my reading for a bit, but I didn't feel like it. I looked over at Marcus and saw he was writing in some sort of diary rather than doing work. So, I got up from my table and walked over to his. Once I got there, I leaned over beside him, looking at his notebook, one hand on the back of his chair, one on the side of his table, head slightly rested on his.

He immediately noticed me, stopped writing, covering its contents. Moving his head, He looked up at me, a smirk on his stupidly handsome face. He moved his hand, brushing against mine before closing his book. I made my usual siren eyes towards his before cocking my head to the side. He shrugged his shoulders cheekily, smirking at me. I get up, a flirty look on my face, eyes still looking into his before I leave his desk, returning to my own. I sit down opening my book again, trying to control the heat I feel in my cheeks. I could tell he was still looking at me as I walked away. I look at him one last time, he was still looking at me, I smirk to myself, tearing my eyes from his, focusing them on the words on my page. My ears still wanting to hear his voice.

"Dude, that the new love and rockets?" my attention is bought back to Marcus, he's trying to make other friends, this can only end badly. "it's so crazy great. I love the Hernandez brothers."

"Suck a dick, wannabe." Harsh, it's cute that Marcus wants to make friends, it shows he's really trying to adjust and make the most out of his new environment. Marcus turned back to his book, I felt bad for his harsh rejection. I decided to do something funny to cheer him up, I grabbed my small notebook out of my pocket, along with a pen. I write will you be my friend on it followed by two boxes underneath. Next to one box I wrote yes, next to the other I wrote no. it was very childish but let's be honest, this boy needs to heal his inner child. I ended the little note with "from y/n" so he knows it's not from some random. I fold up the note and write Marcus on it. I put it in my book, poking out the top, clearly visible. I get up from my table, walk over to his. I put the book down on top of his, he looked at me. I smirked and winked at him, walking out of the room. I hope he's smart enough to open it.
