The Baneflower

Chapter 5

"See me after school, Mr.Henderson." Mr.Pierce said in a calm strict tone. He ripped Morley's paper and Morley chuckled a little. When will he be sober?

He never acted like it, and he never will stop being crazy.

"Nice." I simply say, ignoring the mockery and the people judging him. he looked at me and said nothing.
"Are you okay? You look dead." I ask.
"Yeah, I'm fine." His voice was low and weak. Then he fell back on his chair and passed out.

Morley
I was dizzy as hell and the headache still lingered. I didn't care about my score, and plus I drank too much because I couldn't handle the shit yesterday. Kody left and everyone was exhausted last night. The crying kept on waking me up so I kept on using alchohol to forget.
It made the pain worse. I forgot about it then, but I remember it now.
I don't feel like thinking right now.

I'm not sure what to do with him. Wake him up? I think he's already out. Better not touch him. Maybe he had a rough night. He always did.
"Just leave him" Diana said, poking Morley and laughing every time he responded. Her brown eyes were full of amusement.
"Um yeah, sure, and you can leave him alone too, honestly." I muttered.
"Aha, loser." Ace and Charlie, the new kid, said from behind.
"You're the loser Ace." I joked. He rolled his eyes. They were almost yellow, like some type of animal.

Morley
I thought I was at school. Turns out I'm home.
"Morley! What happened? Your stupid and dumb and-"
"Giselle. Shut up." I say in a playful way. She shook her head and acted dissapointed.
"Hey, Maralynn is back." Giselle said. My eyes widened with surprise. My stepsister who was often missing? Who almost never came home?
Was here.
I didn't want her here. She scared me. She hurt me. She is part of the inner hell.

But I wanted to let bygones be bygones.
