It has been a couple of weeks since Charlotte has transferred to Johnson. Their were not many interesting moments, the one she remembers the most is that she finally beat someone in combat. Granted it was Zachery who didn't put up a fight, but a win is a win.
Charlotte went to class and waited at her desk for the day to begin. Mr.Thankinstien came a couple of minutes after the last student had arrived. "Alright we are finally done with the combat unite." He said. Some kids sighed in relief while other groaned in disappointment. "Today we shall start some training," He started. "As you know, as Odd's you will not be treated kindly when you become adults. You may have to kill someone to survive, it could be a family member or a complete stranger. So this shall help you become more 'comfortable' with murder." He finished. Almost everyone had looks of fear on their faces.
Like last time, everyone had to drink the weird purple liquid. "Now everyone get with someone they like." Mr.Thankinstein said grinning. Alexandra already had gotten with Trash so Charlotte had to find someone different. Oka and Zachery, Polly and Jamie, Ivan and Izzy, finally Nail and Shoe. The only people who were left were Quail, Lily, Xalye, And Kat. Xalye quickly asked Kat if she would like to be her partner and she complied. "Oh and Lily, you can not participate today due to your...Special nature." Mr. Thankinstein said. 'So it's just Quail and I.'
The first group to go up was Izzy and Ivan. Mr. Thankinstien gave both of them a gun. "Alright I want you to shoot each other." He said. Ivan for the first time that Charlotte has seen, expressed emotions. "I can't do that, she's my sister!" Ivan said dropping the gun. "Well then you fail." Replied the adult male sharply. "How about you Izzy?" "Come on, Izzy won't-" He was cut off by the sound of a gun shot. Ivan remained motionless on the ground with a small hole in his head. "My apologies brother." Said Izzy coldly as she picked up the younger boy and left the classroom. This didn't effect Charlotte much due to all the messed up things she has been though.
The next pair were Jamie and Polly. As Mr. Thankinstien attempted to hand Polly the gun, she shook her head and dropped it. "Please, I have my own." She said as her arms transformed into guns. "I've been wanting to shoot you ever since we've met." Said Jamie. Both girls shot there guns at the same time, causing them to fall down. Jamie had a wound in her chest while Polly had one in her throat. Kat got up and took both outside.
After them Zachery and Oka went, but it wasn't interesting in the slightest. Both of them refused to kill each other so they both failed and were shot by the teacher instead. Then it was Shoe and Nail, since Nail didn't know how to use a gun, Shoe had automatically was able to shoot him down. Next was Xalye and Kat, and since Xalye can't hold a gun, Kat won.
The sixth pair was Alexandra and Trash. "Oh this shall be fun!" Said Mr. Thankinstien munching on some popcorn. Alexandra held the gun at her side as she looked at Trash with fear in her eyes. "What are you waiting for? Shoot someone!" She yelled. Trash smiled softly as he held the gun to his head. He pulled the trigger and collapsed on the ground. Alexandra ran up to him and shook him. "Trash please! Please wake up!!" She screamed not realizing that he would only be gone for awile. "Well since you didn't kill him, you automatically fail." Alexandra looked at her teacher with fear in her eyes as he held a gun to her head. "Please-" She was shot.
"Play fair next time Mauer." The teacher said. Kat dragged both of the limb bodies out the door. It was Charlotte's turn, and she felt weirdly ready. She walked up to the front with Quail, and Mr. Thankinstien gave her the gun. "Look I feel pity towards you so I'll-" Quail started to say something but fell due to Charlotte. "I-I did it!" She said smiling. 'Wait why am I happy?! I just killed a boy without any mercy.' She thought. She grabbed Quail by the shirt coller and dragged him to the nurses office.
Luckily for her she memorized the school about a week after she transferred. She went into the large white room where two nurses were waiting. "Another one?! Thankinstien needs to chill with the murder." Said one nurse. The second nurse took Quail from Charlotte and looked at his body. "T-this is the first time I've ever seen this boy in here, you must be pretty s-strong, kid." Charlotte smiled. "Is it okay if I see if my friends are in here?" "Yeah like sure. Tell us the names and we'll show you them."
Charlotte told the first nurse her friends names and she took the young girl to them. Trash was sleeping while Alexandra sat wide awake eating a bowl of rice. "I thought it took longer to recover?" Said Charlotte. "Depends on the person and how badly they have been beat." Alexandra replied with a mouth full of rice. 'She's just like her father.' Thought Charlotte. "So um... About today," Started Charlotte. "You seemed really hurt that Trash shot himself but a couple of weeks ago you seemed to not care." "That's because I couldn't save him, I couldn't stop Polly from killing Trash but today I could have died instead of Trash." She said. "He is really selfless, but it just ended use both at the nurses office. Plus I really really hate guns."
"He must really care about you though." Said Charlotte. "Yeah ever since we've met, he always was my knight in sun glasses!" She said with a small laugh. "Well I need to go, we can talk later." Said Charlotte. "That's okay see you later, oh and Charlotte?" Charlotte turned around and looked at the girl laying in the bed. "Don't go around talking to a lot of people." "Why?" Asked Charlotte. "A lot of people here are not what they seem." Answered Alexandra. Charlotte looked confused and walked out the door.
