Eviternity

-Chapter 5-

Callum had the most confused look on his face. How could Lyved throw food? Why was she so angry? Could rooftops really be bought off nowadays? It was his first time to a public school, as he has been home-schooled since nursery.

"I wonder what she's up to." Callum whispered.

"Hey, Callum." Mary whispered, which caused Callum to jump back from his seat.

"Why are you eating alone in the cafeteria?" Mary asked.

"I was going to eat in the rooftop, but apparently, it's Lyved's territory."

"Oh, forget that silly Lyved. Come on, eat with me Ca--"

"But I just can't get my finger off of it." Callum put his finger on the tip of his lips.

"Her? If you want to know about her, just ask me. I am an expert about the students of this school after all." Mary said.

"Really? What can you tell me about her?" Callum's eyes sparkled. 

"Well.. for all I know, she's the school bully. Or was the school bully anyway. From top dog, she fell to the rock-hard floor." Mary explained. "She could still choose to take over the school, but it seems like she's going passive." 

"Woah, thanks a lot." Callum smiled sweetly, making Mary's heart ache.

"Y-you can ask me anything you like about the school too." Mary smiled.

"Really? Thanks a lot." Callum pat her head, making her blush. Callum left with his empty tray and returned it to the cafeteria lady.

The girls were all looking at Mary. She was in a state of trance, love, and joy. She was so red that the girls had to fan her to keep her from passing out.

"Wow, that Callum sure knows how to treat his girls." a girl said.

"Do you think that he's so in love with me?" Mary said.

"It's so obvious, he should just ask you out." a girl said.

"You think so?"

"Yeah!" all the girls said.

"Let me treat you to some ice cream!" Mary smiled.

Lyved is now walking around the school hallways. She needed time alone. She was walking aimlessly and bumps to someone. She looks up, seeing as she's shorter than the person.

"Ah! Lyved, I was looking for you." Callum smiled.

"Here to poison my food again?" Lyved spat.

"I still don't know what you're talking about."

"Just, shut up!" Lyved shouted, stomping away from the scene.

She ran to the field and just ran laps. She needed to get this anger off her chest. Lyved just disliked people who were 'acting innocent' or were just 'innocent'. It reminded her of someone she ran away from when she was younger.

Here she was, running around in a circle. She needed something to calm her down. There was no sun, the sky was covered with fluffy, white clouds. She just kept on running and running until a person tapped her back. She didn't even hear another set of footsteps. It caught her off guard.

Lyved stops in her tracks, making the person behind her bump on her.

"Do you have a death wish?" Lyved threatened, not bothering to look back.

"You shouldn't be so annoyed with me, you know." Dragen whispered.

"Fight me when you have a gang." Lyved answered back.

"You don't have one, so why bother?" 

"It's because I can still beat you with your gang."

"Really now?"

Lyved turned back, looking upwards to see Dragen smirking at her. Lyved sighed and turned around, walking away. That Dragen has only been wanting to have a rematch with her ever since she beat him without the Red Hounds. At first, she didn't want to fight him as much, but his stubborn attitude gets to her.

"Hey! I'm still talking to you!" Dragen shouted.

"Nope, end of conversation." Lyved shouted back, not turning back.

"Aish, that little runt." Dragen whispered.

Lyved walked outside of the school building. There were many trees and students that were happy. She heard someone whimpering in pain, and some who were laughing. She tried to look for the source and finally found them.

She watched the students rowdily hurting a student with punches. The student was already bleeding, and none of the offenders where hurt. Lyved walked up behind them and the victim saw her, and she put her finger on her lips, to signal that the victim should stay quiet.

"Heyo."  Lyved whispered.

The bullies immediately stopped punching the victim and stood away from Lyved.

"It's just the first day of school and you're having a lot of fun." Lyved started.

"Shut up! You whore!" a bully said.

"You've been gone for a long time, who cares about you?"

"You're probably just bluffing, since I don't see your Red Hounds around you."

"Really? You don't remember who I was before the Red Hounds?" Lyved bluffed.

"Yeah, you were a loner!" a guy shouted before he tried to punch Lyved.

Lyved cocked her head and punched the guy who screamed that she was a loner. She then proceeded to punch the other guys, who were now trying to run away from her. They all sat down, in fear that she would beat them up again if they try to run away.

"Don't tell anyone what I just did here." Lyved said.

"We're going to report you!" 

"I have a witness here. It was self defense." 

Lyved walked away and looked around to see if anyone was nearby. Fortunately, none were relatively close. She quickly ran away from the scene, fleeing and seeking shelter inside the school. She finally leaned against the door of her classroom, catching her breath.

She felt stupid. Maybe dumb was a more appropriate word? She hurt some bullies because they were hurting another. Doesn't that make her the bully too? She even runs away because there was no one to protect her. Lyved reminisced the Red Hounds.

Lyved eventually entered the classroom and sat down on her seat. The bell rang, signalling that lunch break was done. She looked at door as she put her feet up and popped in a bubblegum. She didn't even bother to get her books from the locker, since the teachers were just announcing random rules and things to do. She could just get it from Mike.

"Right, Mike's not my classmate anymore." Lyved whispered to herself.

She brought out a piece of paper and wrote down everything that the teacher was saying. Even though she didn't want to, she had to. She already has low grades, she can't make it go lower. Even if she says that, she need help.

"Ugh, this is so stupid." Lyved whispered to herself.
