My Gladiator Family

Chapter 39

~ELLEN'S P.O.V.~

 We sat down at lunch and began eating. "Sam, I know you'd never hurt me." I told him, thinking about what he said. "Not intentionally.." he quietly said. "Sam, Evil Sam is not part of you." I said seriously, but lovingly. "Technically, he is.." he said sadly. "No, he's not, I know that for sure." I said, trying to sound serious. I smiled and he smiled. "Can you ask Jasper and Winter how they're doing?" Sam asked me. "Sure." I answered.

You guys ok?

We're hanging in there.

 "They said they're hanging in there." I told Sam. He sighed. I got up and kissed his cheek, and threw out our trash. I sat back down next to Sam. He looked down at the table gloomily. I grabbed his hand, and he held on tightly. I pulled him into a small kiss, and he weakly smiled.

~SAM'S P.O.V.~

 Mary came over to us. "Hey guys!" she said, smiling brightly. "Hey, Mary!" Ellen said happily. "Can I sit with you guys?" she asked. We looked at each other. "Sure!" Ellen said, smiling. She sat down across from us. "You don't want to sit with kids your age?" Ellen asked, concerned. Mary shook her head. "They're insensitive.. always making fun of my bat wings.." she admitted. "Don't stand for that! Not only are they making fun of who you are, your bat wings are what you should be proud of!" Ellen said, seriously, but smiling. Mary's face lit up. "Really?" she asked, smiling, looking at her wings. "Of course!" I decided to chime in happily. Ellen looked at me and smiled. Mary blushed wildly from the attention we gave to her. A boy her size ran over to us. "Mary, come sit with us!" he said excitedly. Mary's eyes widened and her face turned red. She looked at us and looked back to him. She smiled brightly and grabbed his hand and ran after him. "Aw, how cute!" Ellen said excitedly. "Like you!" I said. She blushed and laughed cutely. "My bunny boy." she said lovingly.

 "Students, please attend your next class." Mrs. Okami said over the speaker. We got up and walked to the gym.

 We walked in the dressing room and got dressed, and came out and lined up. "STRETCH, MAGGOTS." Mr. Rowan screamed. We started stretching. "TODAY, WE'RE PLAYING DODGEBALL." He shouted when we finished stretching. "GIRLS ON ONE SIDE OF THE GYM, BOYS ON THE OTHER." he instructed. We got on our sides. Ellen grabbed a red ball and smirked at me. "You wanna go?" I mouthed to her. "You don't wanna fight this girl!" she mouthed to me. I smirked and grabbed a blue ball. "GO!" Mr. Rowan yelled. She threw her ball at me and I dodged it. I threw the ball at her feet and she jumped up. I caught a ball and threw it at her, and it almost nicked her on her knee. She caught a ball and threw at my stomach and I dropped to the ground and it flew right over the top of my ears, almost hitting me. I jumped up and grabbed a ball and threw it at her, but she caught it. My jaw dropped. "I told you, you don't want to mess with this girl!" she exclaimed excitedly. I went and sat down.

 ~2 HOURS LATER~

 "OK, GO HOME." Mr. Rowan screamed. We got in our normal uniforms and went to our dorm.

I'm not looking forward to the next years of misery called high school.

~JASPER'S P.O.V.~

~HOURS LATER~

 We walked into the cafeteria and sat down, trying to slow down our heart rate. Winter quietly sobbed. We were handed our one, small, serving size of.. I have no clue what this stuff is, but whatever it is, is the only thing keeping us alive here. I held on to Winter tightly as we ate slowly, trying to take our time eating.

I'm not looking forward to the next years of abuse called B.W.W.

 I hate being a Birds of World's War.
