Casting Stalking (Killing Stalking - Caste Heaven au)

Chapter 3: Preemptive Answers

Okay I'm back at this again! I've been challenged with this thing called school, and I was basically handed a giant L... eh, whatever, I'm still writing this. It's a bit of a filler but not... but either way, enjoy!!

That night, I didn't really dream of anything, like usual. I always find myself closing my eyes to the blatant darkness, and then waking up the next day, only seconds later. I usually open my eyes up to nothing but my boringly white ceiling, probably 5 minutes before my alarm. I'd turn to my clock and just stare and wait for it to go off. But today...

Seems...

Different?

Firstly, when I opened my eyes the ceiling was too high... and the warmth of my comforter was nowhere to be felt. I turn to my left, and a white futon was all I saw.

White futon? What's... shit. I fell asleep here...

I don't really remember what happened after that whole "situation", but thinking back on it now, I guess I really was too tired to get up.

Ugh... my ass hurts and I have no idea what time it is. I prop myself up on my elbows just to see my naked lower half staring back at me. Oh great... I slept here naked... Shit! What if someone saw? I remembered the open door, and turned my head. I was ready to accept defeat when I saw, the door was closed? Hmm... that's weird, and slightly unsettling. Who closed the door? Whoever did probably saw me right? Ugh, just as long as it wasn't some weird kid or teacher, fine. I'll live... I hope.

I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the futon. On the glass coffee table were my pants, folded, along with a fresh shirt that was definitely not mine. Also, they smell like they've been washed... interesting? Well, at least they were nice enough to take care of my stuff, AND get me a new shirt. I picked up the clothes, got up and tried to put them on as best as I could. Everything in my mind was way too hazy to function, but I was still able to fumble with my pants and put them back on. I couldn't find my boxers, which was really unnerving, but I couldn't do anything about it, so pants were the only thing I'd be wearing for today. I took of my dirty shirt from yesterday's "activities" and put on the fresh one.

This is so dirty, I don't even think I should attend school today. Wearing no underwear is just like asking the same thing to happen again. But, then again, it's not like anyone would ever find out, so I guess I'm safe. I reached into my pants pocket to find my phone still there. I checked the time.

8:16!! SHIT SHIT SHIT

Class is in 14 minutes... It's fine... I have time...

I don't have my bag... This is the worst.

I probably left my stuff in the classroom yesterday, since I only got up to look at the bulletin, but never came back to retrieve anything. Seeing as I'm the Joker now, my stuff is probably long gone, and I don't really have time to get new things. I guess I'll just have to deal with having nothing and getting everything from everyone today, though it's possible the no one'll help me.

I walked slowly towards the door, trying to take up all the time I can before class in order to suffer the least possible. I slowly opened the door to see some groups of people walking. People, with their usual friends, people with new friends. The caste game really affects who you hang out with. But, none of them are paying attention to me, as if I'm still the geek I always was.

I stepped out of the king's quarters, shutting the door behind me, and walked along the hall towards the classroom. I felt sights on me a couple times, but when I turned to look, there were no eyes to be caught. What if they forgot... or maybe I'm just not good enough to be a Joker... That can't be it, but I can live with this. Being invisible, to me, was a lot better than getting beaten.
