All I had to do now was wait for Thea to get the chemicals back to me... That could take a while, but as long as I kept careful I had all the time I needed. Thea was perfect for this role... No snitch, hated this place, loved danger and fire... We really lucked out.

After what felt like forever I was finally back on canteen duty as one of the slaves that dished up the plates. I was kind of in a trance the whole day, until one of the girls was very interesting.

"!!!!!!!..... !!!!!!".

...

"!!!!!...!!!!!!!!...!!!!".

...Wait... Was she yelling at me?

"What the hell is wrong with you freak? Why is such a dumbass at this school? HA! What a joke, you're lucky you're behind a counter or I'd break your kneecaps for daring to enter this school as the loser you are".

Ah. I was being bullied again. This was a normal occurrence before, easy to ignore.

... I felt so enraged all of a sudden. Not at the fact I was being bullied, but at the fact I was so used to it I didn't even react. That wasn't fair, I shouldn't be used to this.

The fact that the school encouraged this was sickening.

And the fact that I couldn't tell was terrifying.
