Silence is Golden

Chapter 8: August 2012

Its a stupid filler chapter. Deal with it.

I finally got up after hours of laying on my bed, not being able to sleep in my tears. Instead, I began another drawing of Rain. Not that I didn't have already piles of her under my bed, I just needed to see her again. I drew her, sitting on a park bench, looking at me, her hand holding a cup filled with rocky road ice cream from Baskin' Robbins. She was wearing a dress, a-lined that stopped right above the knee. I didn't know if I liked it when I finished; her eyes were filled with some sort of sadness that I couldn't pinpoint. But she was beautiful as always which made me so much more homesick than I was before.

The next morning, I woke up by the alarm that rang through the hallways outside. With an irritating buzz, the doors swung open. I was still at my desk, Rain's drawing thankfully not drooled on. Quickly, I got up and walked out of my room.

I was the first at breakfast. Probably because I was already in my clothes from yesterday and I didn't bother changing. After, I walked into the rec room, which consisted with a few tables and chairs with stacks of cards that were always missing a diamond queen. Rumor was, there was a kid who had sexual fantasies with them. I sat there waiting for Todd to show up. Instead, I was greeted with Drew, the girl with a tail. It wasn't really long, probably two feet, but it was long enough for me to stare.

"Eyes up here, bozo," she snarled as she walked up to me.

Before I knew what was happening, she kicked the chair I was sitting on backwards until I hit the wall behind me. Still dazed from the shock, Drew place her knee on my chest, her face dangerously close to my face.

"If your friend does something stupid like the stunt he did yesterday, I will personally skin him and you at the same time. Got it?"

I nodded, as her tail grazed the side of my cheek.

"Good," she finally got off of me as I saw Todd staring at her in awe. I stared at him with intensity, wondering what actually happened yesterday at the cafeteria before I got there.

What did you do? I scolded him as best as I could.

Apparently, when he landed on the cafeteria table yesterday, he jumped over Drew's friend, kicking her in the back of her head. She was also sent to the nurse, and haven't been back since. I hope she was ok, I don't want to be skinned.

During the TFC today, Ms. Campbell didn't come fetch me for her therapy sections. I was glad that I didn't need to be trapped in that room with her today. Towards the end of TFC, she walk up behind me and whispered something to me. I didn't really get what she said. I think it was some sort of apology.

Todd didn't do anything stupid today. Thank god for that. It must be whatever the nurses did to him yesterday. He didn't really talk to me much either. I don't know if I should be worried.
