Cliffside-A Krusie Fanfic

chapter two-the liar

Susie snatched the chalk out of her pocket and held it tight in her purple hands. Ugh. Out of anger, she started to crush it in between her claws, but then stopped.

Her stomach ached with the familiar pain of hunger.

She just wanted to eat....something...

...

....what did chalk taste like?

Susie felt something in her sink. Hah. How pathetic. She was seriously going to resort to eating chalk because she was so poor?!?

And as much as she hated it, she already knew the answer.

She took a quick breath, and then without a second thought, shoved the chalk piece into her mouth.

Even with a soft bite, it crumbled quickly, and she kept chewing absentmindedly. The taste wasn't a surprise. It was dry and gritty, plus that wonderful chalky texture coated her mouth and her tongue. It should've made her gag, but she didn't. She'd eaten worse.

And then, just as she swallowed, she heard a click behind her. She whirled around and saw them.

Kris.

Without thinking, she started walking toward Kris, forcing a smile and clenching her fists with each step getting louder and louder. Oh, how fucking convenient. Susie couldn't even read their expression; it was empty. Nothing.

At least with any NORMAL fucking member of the class, she would be able to tell if they were shocked, scared, or amused. But no.

Kris was far from normal.

"Kris.....Didn't see you there." Susie said cooly, her raspy voice echoing through the pale yellow halls. They didn't move a muscle. Anxiety started to prickle through her. She was fucked. Fuck, fuck... Why was she scared?!? They were nothing but a stupid...

Taking a breath, she turned again on her heel and stared down the hallway for a few seconds before continuing."You didn't see anything just now, did you?"

Nothing. Nothing at all.

The same silence she usually used against people was starting to unnerve her, and she quickly spoke again, her words coming out faster. "..You can't even say?" Susie turned around and stared directly into Kris' eyes. Or at least, where she thought they were.

"Kris..."

She plodded towards Kris, feeling her soul beat faster and faster in her chest. Her fists tightened and her steps grew more threateningly loud.

Yet she felt sick satisfaction seeing Kris slowly start to back up. Was that fear?

She got so close to them that she could smell their dark brown hair, the softest scent of sugar and pies wafting from it, and something in her twisted. Susie, of fucking course, just pretended like she didn't feel anything, mainly because she DIDN'T feel SHIT and she didn't even know what it would fucking mean. Kris titled their head up just the slightest bit, watching...

Waiting.

"Hey." Susie hissed out, trying to ignore the fact her voice was shaking. She placed a clawed hand on Kris's shoulder, feeling the soft sweater underneath her fingers and forcing on a friendly smile.

They had no reaction; they just met Susie's glare with a complete apathetic look in their eyes. Her hands started to shake, and to steady herself, she held onto Kris' shoulder just the slightest bit tighter. Again, no reaction. Just an empty stare and silence. You'd think they were mute.

"Let me tell you a secret."

The smile on Susie's face vanished.

Without warning, she grabbed Kris by their stupid sweater and briefly dangled them in the air before harshly slamming them into the lockers. The sound ricocheted through the halls. Their entire body went limp like a ragdoll, and Susie felt a sick sense of satisfaction from finally being in control.
