Mad

Fat boy's cake.

I woke up before the alarms today and stared at my green ceiling, oddly enough it was calming me down. That never happens. I was thinking about Harper and Victoria and Ava. Especially Ava.

Victoria came in the room yesterday after our whole little deppresion session and she was crying. She was rambling on and on about how Ava's problem has gotten worse so now instead of her only having horrible memory she has full blown schizophrenia. How did she even get like that? How many traumatic events does a person need to go through in life to get like that? Or maybe it just happened one day. I wonder what her life was like before she turned looney. She provably made friends with the boy in room 718. I hear he's still talking to his buddy "the wall".

*knock knock*

"Don't come in!" I yell still looking at the ceiling.
The door opens and its nurse Tammy. God knows I hate that woman and I know she hates me.

"Did you go deaf over night? I told you not to come in"

If looks could kill she would have slayed me right then and there.

"Does it look like I give a rats ass what you want? Take your pills so I can leave"

I walk over to the desk.

" I feel so bad for your husband."
"I'm not married"
I pause and look at her from her eyes to her feet and back up again then I give her a sarcatsice smile.
"Can't say I'm surprised. I mean you look like a beast right now. Imagine what you look like in the morning. Its honestly frightening just thinking about it" I cringe at the the thought of her without make up.
I false puke.
I laughed at her then picked up my pills and dropped them down into my mouth to swallow them dry.
Without warning she grabs my jaw forcing my mouth open. With a flashlight she wiggles it inside my mouth trying to see if I didn't actually take them.
"Move your tongue to the right. Now up. Down. Move it to the left."
She yanks my jaw away and picks the empty cup up. As she leaves she mumbles something under her breath but just loud enough for me to hear.
" Dear lord give me the strength not to strangle that little girl. Please!"
I ran up to the window and started banging on it
" Yeah!! You keep praying Tammy!! I'm not going anywhere so you better get used to seeing this face!!!"

Okay I admit that last part was unnecessary but in my defense

She's ugly and mean so... I kind of had to.

I rolled back into my bed under the itchy blanket and forced my eyes shut. Hoping  that I would have a lot of time to go to sleep. I'm guessing the odds were not in my favor because no more than five minutes later the buzzers went off indicating the beginning of breakfast and even though I ignored the buzzing sound I couldn't ignore the sound of hundreds of screaming mental kids all excited about waffles.

•••••

I waited out the mob so that I could possibly get some food with out some one trying to talk to me or sniff me. Believe it or not they do that in here. Often. Then they get mad when you slap them across the face.

Who's the blame in that situation?

As always I sat right in the middle of the cafeteria because no one was around and I didn't care if  they anyone saw me being a slob.

"You're eating like a pig" the voice made me jump out of my skin. And when I turned around, it was a guy.

"What are you doing here and not on the other side of the building where you belong? Oh.. You must be gay huh?"

"Nah. I'm straight"
Then he looked at me like how a fat boy looks at cake.
"I think I underestimated you. You're pretty hot for a crazy girl. I'm Jason and you are?"
"What do you want?"
"If you're up for it maybe we could-"

Oh hell no.

" If you say what I think you're gonna say then I'm gonna punch you in the face"
He gave me a sly smile and then whispered in my ear.
"Make sure to choke me after"

That's it.

My appetite was gone. I was not in the mood to be this fat boy's cake.

"You are so disgusting!!" I yelled.
I picked up my food and threw it away in the trash. As I tried to leave he ran ahead of me and blocked the door.

"Ooo. You're a feisty one aren't you?" He said.

I clenched my hand into a fist and moments later he went falling hard on the floor completely passed out.

"Yeah I guess I'm a little fiesty"  I said as I walked over his body and into the hall way. His jaw was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be so my knuckles throbbed. I looked up only to find Ava's smiling face.

"Why did you hit that troll like that?"
I looked at her confused before remembering that she no longer knows the difference between reality and imagination so I decided to play along.
"Because he offered me something I didn't want and he wouldn't take no for an answer so I thought 'hey why not punch him in he face' and I guess it worked"
She had the biggest smile on her face as she walked with me down the hallway.

"Yeah. Trolls are the worst. My granny tells me to just stay away from them all together"
"She does? When did she tell you that?"
"I'm not sure but she told me to stay away from witches and bears and safety pins, and trolls too."

Talking to Ava, is surprisingly refreshing even though she is way crazier now. She reminds me of Matty with his big eyes and wild imagination.

"What does she say about faries?"
"She never said anything about those"
"Well," I leaned closer to her as if I was telling her something secretive.
"you know. I'm part fairy"
Her face changed and she looked disappointed at me.

"Scarlett fairies aren't real. Its a myth passed down to man for generations and generations and no has spotted them. They arent real you dumb dumb"

And like that she went from 5 year old to 15 year old.

And I'm still not sure if this girl was either smart or dumb before she went insane. Its been killing me.
