Broken Wings

Ten- Barbies and Sports

The sun and some screaming birds made me wake up. I took on some clothes and went to the kitchen. Both of my parents had already left, I waited on Cam to come and pick me up before we went to school. After waiting for a few minutes, I saw a black jeep come up the driveway. Cam stretched his hand out the car window and waved to show me to hurry up.
I took on my shoes and went out and into the car.
"Don't want to be late, your parents would think I am a bad influence on you"
"They don't know about us yet," I said, I know it was bad of me not letting my parents knowing about Cam, but it never felt like the right timing. And they would come with all the questions, What's his last name? Who are his parents? Where does he live? Where did you meet him?
"I know," he said it with a little dry tone like he was a bit disappointed by it, why would he feel like that? It wasn't that important that they knew it right away...
He started driving. On the way, I recognized half of the people from the school walking their way there. We parked the car and walked in, he put his arm around me, leaning me close to him. We went to our first class today, Philosophy.

"Where goes the limit between the concept of Good and Bad?" The teacher walked into the room in the second the bell rang. I sat down on a chair in the back row, Cam sat down beside me. He waited for someone to come and answer his question. "When you stop doing something for someone else than yourself?" A boy in the front row said.
"Hmm ... To easy ..." the teacher said disappointedly.
"Cause, what if the action you do for someone else is causing bad reactions for other people?" He walked to the board and started drawing a train and the train tracks. "Let's put your knowledge of this is an example-"
"Let's say you're standing here by the tracks and see four people bonded to the train track, and a train is coming at a high speed,-"

"You are given the choice of watching them die, OR; you can pull the lever, and the train will go in another direction, but then it will drive over one person that is sitting there on the new track. What do you do?"

The class started an open discussion, everyone came with their meaning. "Why kill four, when you have the chance of just kill one??"
"But then you become a killer!" Now one could agree on anything.

"Go in a group of five and discuss it there." The teacher said.

I was in a group with Cam, Sarah, a boy and a girl I had met in gym class earlier.
"Why kill three extra people...?" The girl asked.
"But you don't know this person, they could be doctors or criminals... It's no way to tell." I said, "But would you really have the power to go and kill a man. You know, if you go to court, you will be sentons to prison for murder ..."
"Well, that's stupid. You just saved three lives', and you're the Villon?" The boy suddenly got interested. "Ok! New twist people! Now, the four people that sat in the car, are your family... and the man on the other track is a doctor, that is trying to find a cure for Cancer."
"Ok, I could never kill my family..." The girl said and leaned back in her chair, to show that she was out of the discussion. "But you don't know if he can find the cure, he could fail..." It felt like the discussion never ended...

After class, I went outside with Cam. We sat down by a bench of our own and just talked.
"Ok, Friday. There's a Chinese restaurant downtown."
"You're asking me out on a real date?" We never had the time for that on the Academy, I guess this was the perfect timing to have one.
"Oh, I am not asking" he smiled and took a bite of an apple. I got surprised when a boy came and sat down beside Cam. It was Rixson, Rixson was a Fallen angel and a best friend of Cam. "Rixson? What are you doing here?" I asked I thought he stayed at the academy with the rest of the Fallen. "You think I would let my boy Cam get all the high school drama by himself?" He laid his hand on Cam's shoulder. "You wouldn't survive a day without me," Cam said and gave a little laughter. We ate our lunch and went outside, we still had like 20 minutes before next class. We sat down on a bench under a tree. The sun was shining, people were playing football and sitting in the sun, talking. After a few minutes, someone came from behind me and our conversation stopped. The boys stopped talking and looked up at the person. I turned around and saw the cheerleader girl that had talked to me and Cam in the hallway. "How cute ... You thought you could just come here and take our bench" she gave me a bitch look and stamped with her foot, waiting for us to move. "Excuse me... We?" I repeated, and looked around her, to prove my point of the fact that she was standing alone.
"If you had used your brain you would have known that they are waiting for me to get our spot back." She looked to her right at the gang of sportsjurks and barbies.
"So, would you move, and I will forget your mistake since you are new here and probably don't know the roles "
"What if we don't" Cam leaned his hand at the table, it didn't sound like a question, more like he challenges her. "Well, then I would need to get my boyfriend over here and remind you of our roles." Cam looked at her, he didn't believe a word she said. She looked at her friends, got eye contact with a big, pumped guy. He had black short hair blue eyes but wasn't much taller than the girl. He reacted and walked to the bench. "This is Marcus ... my boyfriend-"
