The Battle With Myself

Chapter 4

Leandra's P.O.V.

(Five years later)

"NEXT!" The cafeteria lady shouted. Today were having...drool with a side of elephant earwax.

Beautiful.

I've been living here for five years now and the place gets duller every goddamn second. The New Living Shelter Of God: Home Of The Lost, isn't as new as you think it is. People are nice here but the beds are gross, the floors creak, there are stairs everywhere, and no money. Literally, I don't know how this place stayed. Hailey comes everyday and brings some decent clothes and food that won't make you puke. I've gone to therapists and they have helped me get better over the death of my mom and dad, but I really miss them. So much.

I go through the lunch line and find a juice and go sit at my usual booth. Alone.

My life here is sad, but I don't wanna go with the other girls. They gush about boys too much.

Boys are the LAST thing I would ever think about. They're distractions. I will focus on school and school only.

I want to be a doctor. I know, it's a challenge but I know I can do it. I read 24/7 about doctors and I probably could form a surgery on my own.

I head back to my room. I cleaned it up a bit, unlike all the other dorms thst look like pigs sleep under their mattresses. I asked Hailey for paint and painted my room, furnished the inside and put carpet on the floors, I even got a matress and cleaned up my window. I hate a dirty room.

I went in my closet to grab a sweatshirt and some leggings, and threw them on. I layed on my bed and read a book.

Just then I heard my window open and a loud thump."Shit" a voice mutters.

"Who's there?" I said getting up. I grabbed a bat next to my bed and slowly walked towards my window.

I jumped in surprise when i saw it was a person. "AHHH GET OUT GET OUT!" I said. I started hitting him with the bat. "GO! GET OUT YOU FUCKER!"

"OWW! WHAT THE FUCK STOP! ARE YOU STUPI-OW! STOP!" the man said in pain. He grabbed the bat and threw it across the room.

He tried getting up. So I did what any person would do.

I tackled him.

"THIS IS FOR BREAKING INTO MY ROOM! GET OUT YOU LITTLE-"

"WHAT THE FUCK! YOU SENILE BI-"

Just then Hailey opened the door. "What the heck is going on here! And what are you doing to Daved!"

I stopped to look at him.  Then looked back at Hailey. "This is Daved? Sorry about that, maybe if you didn't barge into my room, I would've mistaken you as a pedophile and will you get the fuck off?"

Daved rolls his eyes and chuckles. "Sorry."

I quickly get off of him. "You should be."

"Dang Leandra, I didn't know you could be so friendly with someone you don't even know. Intimate much?" Hailey teased.

I blushed. "Intimate? He barged into my room! Through my window!" I look back at him. "Sorry for denting your ego by hitting you with that bat. Wait. No I'm not."

He raises an eyebrow. "Is that supposed to be an apology?"

I shrug "A little of both. Take it however the fuck you want to. You did barge into my room. I could have been naked."

"No mind in that. Probably would've helped you get undressed." He said smirking.

I grabbed the bat and hit him again.

"Ow! What was that for?" He said, rubbing his shoulder.

"Your still alive." I glare at him.

Hailey cut him off. "Ok ok stop. Come on Leandra, Heir Ferguson is calling us downstairs. The both of you." Heir Ferguson makes us call him that because apparently he's some kind of royalty in Russia or something.

We head downstairs to find everyone in the shelter and a group of boys, dressed the same as Daved. Private school. Dang they must be loaded.

I sit next to Hailey and Daved sat next to me. He smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"Hello student. Today Headmaster Scott and I will glady introduce a brand new activity to this shelter. An activity in which the Good Boy Society:For Lost Men and the New Living Shelter of God: Home of the Lost will combine into something great." Heir Ferguson announced.

I snort. "I'm guessing your known as a good boy? What do they pass out treats too?"

Daved chuckles. "Tell me, how does it feel to know that your living in God's Shelter? Must be pure."

I shake my head. "Total opposite. You get raped here."

He raises both eyebrows "Are you serious? Have you ever been raped?"

"Nah. Im too strong for these weak ass boys." I say trying to pull off a fake laugh.

He raises an eyebrow but drops the subject. Thank Jesus.

"Well at my school, we get beaten." He says.

"Oooo." I say. "You wanna trade?"

He smiles. "I would love to trade with you. Just look at all these fine looking.."

I give him a disgusted look.

"Chairs! These fine looking chairs...I meant chairs." He quickly finished.

I smirk at him. "Sure you little disgusting pi-"

"MISS DEVERS! AND MR. PRESEDENCE" Heir Ferguson shouts. "UP HERE IMMEDIATELY!"

We get up and walk towards Heir Ferguson and Headmaster Scott. "Yes ma'am?" I say quietly.

"Since you guys are busy talking back there, maybe you wouldn't mind being our first volunteers." Heir Ferguson said.

"Voulenteers? For what?" Daved said.

Headmaster Scotts shakes his head. "Starting tommorow, everyone in the shelter, will match up with someone from the school and accompany them to the all around dance held in California where every private school combines for a dance. And these next few months, you and Leandra are partners."
