Four | "Is That Still True?"

SOTC: E-GIRLS ARE RUINING MY LIFE by CORPSE (ft. Savage Ga$p)

<><><>

"And you're hot, kitten," he said with a smirk.

Ok, a few things.

Number One: I know. It took me a while to see the stares boyfriends gave me in the arms of their girlfriends. Bryce, the boy Girl One and Girl Two fought about, resorted to throwing pencils at me for a month to get my attention.

Number Two: I haven't touched a guy in over a year. It added to the crippling loneliness that made me stare at the airbag label of the car I lived in for hours, hypocritically wishing someone was there.

Number Three: I have zero self-respect.

So the following actions took their course.

"You can't resist me, kitten," the guard said as fingers now traced my upper thigh.

I grabbed his jaw with both hands and clashed my skull into his nose. The guard shrieked when I proceeded to kick him in the balls, leaving him on the floor. Vulgar shouts between groans of pain came out his probably herpes-filled mouth as I took off running.

Because Number Four:

Kitten? Really?

Upon reaching the other end of the hallway, I panted and contemplated my actions.

Oh no.

Now everyone was going to wonder why I didn't have a guard.

Suddenly, footsteps foreshadowed the seconds later army of people my age and guards clogged the hallway. I found that they were dispersed, with guards spectating the sea of people behind all of them at the corner of my eye.

I was about to be the stupidest person on Earth or a genius.

I stepped into the crowd of teenagers and just started walking, trying to match the uniform locked pace and trying to settle the fact that I had no idea where I was into my face. Although it was in front of the guards, they could assume I was accidentally pushed into a hallway and bounced back.

Let's hope I was a genius.

But speaking of where I was...

Did I hallucinate the guard saying Greece?

"Welcome back."

The woman said it when we all reached the unchanged room with the table again. Expect for the fact that there were hundreds of plates containing sautéed vegetables with a glass of water beside each.

The doe-eyed others and I were forced into chairs in front of one plate by random guards, but everyone continued to stare at the woman in the table's center.

"I will be straight forward with all of you," the woman began. "Your country, the United States, is the aggressor of the Gre—"

She cut off her sentence upon two guards stomping their way into the middle of the U-shaped table in front of her.

"Γιατί με διακόψατε?" the woman asked in a sharp whisper.

Why have you interrupted me?

"Ο Ξέρξης μας έδωσε εντολή να βρούμε ένα από τα κορίτσια εδώ μέσα..." Guard One said, turning to Guard Two. "Θηλυκός. Χλωμά, λευκά μαλλιά, μαύρα μάτια. Είπε ότι φορούσε ένα κόκκινο φόρεμα και ότι είχε τρύπημα στη μύτη."
