Cerise Hood POV

Chapter10: Maddie's Supporters

Now that Cerise had slightly opened up herself, she felt like maybe she could interact with more. She had to be careful though, she still can't let more people know her secret, and the first thing she needs to do was to hunt down Kitty, and make sure she won't tell.

It was lunch brake and Cerise looked for Kitty in the cafeteria. Once she spotted the lilac girl, she marched to where she's sitting.

"Kitty!" Cerise roared slamming a hand on the table "we need to t—" her fire seamed to extinguish when she realised how many people at the table were staring at her. After all she was the shy and mysterious student that never talked to people. Kitty smirked as she look up at Cerise embarrassed face. "Come, have a seat" she disappeared, only to reappear slightly to the left of the cafeteria bench, offering Cerise her old seat. Cerise didn't know what to do so she set down awkwardly.

It wasn't that bad... Raven and Cedar were also at that table, at least Cerise interacted with them before..

"So have you got your lunch?" Raven sitting across of her asked. Cerise nodded slowly, and took out her lunch box that she prepared that morning. "Wow!" Someone shouted as she open the lid of her lunch box, Cerise looked up a little stunt "that's what I smelt this morning!" Hunter exclaimed, mouth watering at the smell of roasted turkey. "Yeah your right!" Sparrow sang. Not really knowing what to do in this situation, Cerise offered to let him try some, but he politely rejected saying that he was trying to go vegetarian.

'Vegetarian?' Cerise thought, Hunter comes from a line of hunters, they probably ate meat all their life, and yet one has decided maybe he doesn't want to hunt.. that's very interesting.

While eating with the group of people at the table, Cerise began to realise a lot of very interesting things. She already knew that Raven didn't want to be evil, but Sparrow doesn't want to steal, or hold a bow for that matter. Ginger doesn't want to eat children either.. for just a short while, it felt like their story didn't matter and it was... nice.

"Hey Maddie, heard your running for school president!" Cedar commented.

"That's right!" Maddie cheered "it's going to be fun"

"I wonder how crazy the school will get if you are president." Sparrow laughed "

"I'll support you." Cedar cut in "I think it's nice to try new things, and what better place to do it than in school?" Everyone at the table nodded with agreement.

As the bell rang for the next class, Kitty leaned into Cerise's ear and whispered "it's not over yet." And disappeared.

Oh what a way to kill Cerise's good mood...

At least, at least now Cerise feel like she's not that alone. Everyone wants to be happy, and some just can't get it following a script written by someone else. Maybe by voting for Maddie, things going to change, and change for the better.
