Gotham's Unknown 3 Predator and Prey

Chapter 12: Comrades in the Art of Mayhem

Sarah sat at work doing paperwork when suddenly her phone started ringing, it was the high school. "Hello?" She asked as she answered the phone.
"Hi, Dr. Ivory, this is Lorraine's counselor, Miss Hawkins, do you have a moment to discuss your daughter Lorraine?" Asked Miss Hawkins as Sarah put down her pen.
"Has something happened?" Asked Sarah as she started to panic.
"Oh no, I'm just worried that she's been in our school for three months and hasn't made a single friend plus she's been bullied and apparently from what I hear she is fighting back so I was wondering if it would be alright if I enrolled her in our group counseling class for our more troubled students." Said Miss Hawkins as Sarah started to think that this may give Lorraine the mental outlet she needs.
"Of course! Please go ahead." Said Sarah as she was glad this would replace one of Lorraine's existing classes because then it wouldn't really bother Oswald and Edward too much so they wouldn't catch on that she was meddling where she promised she would leave things be.

Due to Sarah's intervention Lorraine went into her regularly scheduled Art Class but was told by the teacher to report to the counselor's office. Reluctantly she did so and was greeted by Miss Hawkins who then led her into the cafeteria which was empty at the moment minus a circle of chairs in the center of the room. "Everyone this is Lorraine Ivory she'll be joining our class today." Said Miss Hawkins as everyone weakly waved showing very little interest in her presence. "Alright, Lorraine have a seat, Misty put down the phone!" She barked and a girl who looked to be about the same age as Adam put down her cellphone and put it in her pocket. "Alright so why don't we have everyone go around and introduce ourselves to Lorraine and say why we're here, Rockford why don't you start off?" Asked Miss Hawkins as the boy she gestured to rolled his eyes and sat forward.
"Hi, my name is Rockford Jax but I prefer Rocky and I'm here because my drunken father believes I have anger issues that are gonna send him to an early grave." Said Rocky as he gave a kind of unpleasant smirk that made Lorraine like him. "Your turn Sparky." Said Rocky as he smacked the boy next to him in the arm. The boy adjusted his glasses and put down his book.
"Hi, my name is Norman Westcock and I'm here because my mom found my stash of illegal fireworks and this was the only way I wasn't gonna be thrown in juvy." Said Norman as he crossed his arms. Finally the girl who was on her cellphone.
"Hi, my name is Misty Kline and my mom had me put in this class when the police that come and search the lockers found out that I was stalking your brother and my mom thought this was a helluva a lot cheaper than real therapy." Said Misty as Lorraine looked at her.
"You were stalking my brother?" Asked Lorraine as Misty sighed.
"Not any more, just don't tell him I did I think his girlfriend would be really mad." Said Misty as she twirled her long curled black hair around her finger.
"He doesn't have a girlfriend." Said Lorraine as Misty hummed.
"Then why is he always hanging out with the red head?" Asked Misty as Lorraine looked at her.
"She's just his best friend, nothing more, trust me I'd know." Said Lorraine as then the rest of the group continued to introduce themselves until finally it got back to Lorraine. "Well you already know my name but I'm not very certain why I'm here." Said Lorraine as Miss Hawkins put her hand on Lorraine's shoulder.
"You're here because I and your mother believe this could benefit you and help you overcome those violent tendencies you have." Said Miss Hawkins as Lorraine looked at the hand on her shoulder so Miss Hawkins removed it.
"Well I don't think that's very fair." Said Lorraine as Miss Hawkins looked at her.
"Why not?" Asked Miss Hawkins.
"If there's anything I've learned from Mama and her constant babbling of psychology it's that every person who commits a violent act has a reason and instead of that reason being treated as a valid reason to be upset and not want to deal with things in a civilized manor, we are treated like we need help, like we're a wounded animal that's only lashing out because of the pain but what if we enjoy the reaction to pain! Whether physical, mental, or emotional pain the simple fact is that pain gives us the reason to do as we please and no longer play by your rules! So why take away such freedom? Why not give it to the rest of you who think that you're fine, think that you're burying of the pain makes you lot anymore same that the ones that don't ignore the pain of life! Day after day, week after week, MONTH AFTER MONTH! We sit, we wait, we hold our tongues, knowing we have to say quiet, but soon oooh some day soon you'll be in just as much pain as the rest of us." Said Lorraine as the other students admired her while Miss Hawkins looked in horror at Lorraine. She quickly stood and ran off claiming she had to make a phone call.
"You're incredible!" Said Rocky as he grinned.
"Thank you. You know what? Since you all think so highly of me now, I'll bring you all some gas masks on this Friday. I invite you all to watch the carnage that I will unravel that day at lunchtime." Said Lorraine as they all smiled and grinned at the thought of her plans.
"What are you gonna do?" Asked Rocky as Lorraine put her finger under his chin, enticing him.
"You'll see." Said Lorraine with a grin.
