"NOW YOU ALLOW YOUR FRIEND TO BE KILLED BY SOME DISTRICT SCUM?" my mother shouts at me

arachne didn't make it.

i cried..a lot

"YOU KNOW WHAT. THATS IT, YOU CANT SEE THAT DISTRICT BOY ANYMORE." she shouts as i frown

"what? mother that's unfair. it's for school.." i reply as she shakes her head

"you are to never speak to that boy before school hours." she says sternly as i walk upstairs

my heart feels heavy..i lost my bestfriend, i look at our pictures together, she wasn't the nicest..ofcourse but she was still the girl who protected me when i was bullied and when i was teased

She's just got a hard shell you had to crack..but she didn't deserve to die—i miss her so much

I lay in my bed as i sobbed myself asleep..i'm so tired

*TIME SKIP*

My head pounds as i groan not wanting to get up, i do eventually sit at my vanity staring at myself..goodness i'm a mess

My hair is messy—tangled and god my eye bags are dark and my face is all puffy from the crying..i still cant believe it; she's gone.

My bestfriend for 17 years..gone like that in an instant—only if she didn't decide to start to torment that girl from 10..

I sigh adding some concealer on my face to try hide the dark circles under my eyes and some redness on my cheeks

I put on the same uniform—the uniform that my bestfriend was wearing..i need to stop thinking about her death; treech.

i forgot to give him breakfast today! i'm so stupid, i quickly run downstairs making 2 chicken bagels and some water with a few mini muffins for eat at lunch

I run out my door, food in hand as i look at my watch 8:15–class starts in 5 minutes but what's the harm in skipping one lesson..

I walk past the academy not making eye contact with any of the guards who might try escort me back into class—i see the large sign 'CAPITOL ZOO' displayed right at the front

As i step foot into the zoo i'm quickly approached by a peacekeeper

"ma'am aren't you supposed to be in class?" he asks me as i purse my lips

"i have an excuse." i say confidently as the man raises an eyebrow

i reach into my pocket grabbing a $100 bill and stuffing it into his right pocket as he nods and moves out the way

well wasn't that easy.

I walk past a few enclosures before stopping at the one i happened to land in the day before, i walk closer to the bars looking around trying to search for treech before a young boy catches my attention—he seems to be about 13 years old

"if you looking for treech he's over there" he points to the rock where lamina and treech where sitting

His voice seemed almost forced—like it was forced to be deeper and harsher to act tougher though i could see through his act

He looked at me sadly as i sighed

"has persephone came to visit you yet?" i ask as he shakes his head no

"i'll tell her to come today, i'm sure she was just a little busy but uh here.." i grab one of the muffins and reach over the bars to give him one

He gladly accepts it as his smile widens as he gives a more nice sounding "thank you!" i smile as i walk over closer to treech
