A Wicked Love

Chapter 5-Skipping With Feelings

~~Maude's P.O.V.~~

After Ray left, we all went our separate ways. (Hehe Ways) Frank got a room with Carlos and Jay, Dizzy with Mal and Evie, and me with Dhalia. Before Ray went off, I noticed a glint in Ray's eye when he asked what are Frank's classes. It's kinda like the glint in our eyes that we get whenever we're up to something. Maybe I'm imagining it. I wander around the dorm admiring everything. "We've never been treated like this huh, Dhalia?" She doesn't reply so I turn around and see her pulling a cat out of her backpack. A cat??? I look at her in shock. "And just how did you manage to sneak a cat out of the isle?" She looks up at me, smiling. It's rare for her to truly smile. After her dad died.....She seems so happy so I don't bring it up. "Doesn't matter. I missed Cheshire ll. (the second) He always went on adventures with us." I pet him softly. Dhalia and I used to use him as our emotional support animal when we were kids. Life wasn't always the best. "Hey, did you notice anything about Ray when he was talking to Frank?" Dhalia looks confused at first but then her eyes widen in realization. "Yeah he kinda looks like us when we're-" "up to no good." we say in unison. "Exactly. And we've gotta figure out what he's planning. But first, we've gotta figure out how to survive class."

~~Frank's P.O.V.~~

I walk into my first classroom. Remedial Goodness. Most likely gonna be my worst class. As soon as I walk in everybody turns to look at me. I browse around the room until my eyes rest upon one empty seat. Next to....Gerard was it? I don't know and I honestly don't care. Sadly, the rest of my friend group is in another class together so a familiar face is what I'll go for.
Fairy Godmother walked in with a determined look on her face. "Alright children I know we have newcomers but from past experience I know how much kids hate introductions so I won't put you through that." Thank gods I don't have to get up. "To start off today's lesson we will be learning about how to treat others kindly. Take this for example. Someone is being rude to you, calling you names, etc. What do you say in return?" People immediately pipe up, raising their hands excitedly. Gerard puts his feet up on his desk and mumbles under his breath "You better stay on that side of the street motherfucker. I'll knock you out." I snorted loudly and tried to muffle my laughter. "Frank, do you have anything to tell the class?" I sit up straight in my seat. "No ma'am." Out of the corner of my eye I see Gerard raise his hand up. "I do Miss. I hate this class. Can I leave?" The whole class groans in frustration. "No, I'm sorry you cannot leave in the middle of class sweetheart." I turn to look completely at him. He thinks about what she said for a moment and says "Too late, I'm leaving anyway." He gets up from his seat, pushes all the papers off Fairy Godmother's desk, and walks out. "Why, I never-" FG starts off. What a legend. Maybe I can leave too. "Um, may I go after him please?" She looks out the door in disappointment and says "Yes, go for it, Frank." Awesome. I run out of class with my backpack on one shoulder. "Gerard, wait up." He turns around, curious to see who called him. I finally catch up to him, out of breath. "Do you regularly do stuff like that?" He gives me a huge smile. "Heck yeah sugar. I hate going to classes here. They always teach the same thing. Be nice to others. Have manners. Blah blah blah. I want to escape from it so I just walk out." "Dude, you're a legend. That's exactly how I feel about everything." Gerard looks me up and down. "Hey you don't seem so bad. Maybe you could skip class with me too." He follows that with a wink. What's that supposed to mean? By that point, we've reached Dhalia and Maude's room so I tell him this is my stop. I open the door and see something I didn't expect so soon.

~~Third Person's P.O.V.~~

Dhalia smiled and fell backwards onto the bed. Class was finally over. Now that she was off the isle she could finally relax. She rolled over and put her face in the pillow. A few tears fell down until she was quietly crying. She sniffled and moved her hand up to wipe her eyes without lifting her head. Maude was used to this after all the years of knowing each other so she just lied down next to her letting her cry it out.

~~Frank's P.O.V.~~

I see Dhalia crying with Maude next to her for comfort. My eyes crumple in sadness but I walk over to her anyways. I look over at Maude and give her the look that says she can go to her own bed. I take her spot and gently lift up Dhalia's head and put it on my lap. As I play with her hair, she slowly cries herself to sleep. Once she's knocked out, I pull a blanket over her and tuck her in tightly. "I guess we can all skip class." I say with a laugh. Maude just rolled her eyes with a smirk on her face and turned off the lights. I don't have the energy to walk to my dorm so I sleep where I am with them.
