Feathers and Shadows

Chapter 11

We got to my house, and I raced upstairs to get dressed, I heard her follow me and I got the idea of giving her a little show. I got to my room and stood facing the door waiting for her. She entered and I slowly peeled off my shirt, making sure she got the greatest tease I could muster, and casually strode over to my dresser shirtless and half bra-less and pulled new clothes out and on. I saw over the corner of my shoulder how she pursed her lip a bit when I put them on. To show I still cared I turned around and kissed her, she recoiled slightly and looked away. It hurt and puzzled me so I quickly finished dressing and drove us to school.

"Oh!" I heard my best friend shout from across the parking lot, "my you two." Tayli came running from her car, to my surprise, Dylan was striding to us as well. He wore a rather stupid grin on his face, but it faded before I could ponder why. I got out and braced for the boob-squisher, after me she embraced Mizore as well. Mizore shied away from us the said she had something to do and walked off briskly. I wanted to go after her but I understood how she is feeling, realizing you're a lesbian for the first time is shocking, it was for me. She found out with sex, the same as me. I watched her walk inside and looked away to my feet.

"What's wrong, Ruby?" Tayli asked me.

I shook my head and said, "We should go inside the bell is going to ring soon."

"OK." She said, I could tell she wanted to know but she let it go and I was grateful for that, albeit silently. First went like it did yesterday, second we played something from Black Sabbath, third killed all my brain cells for the day, fourth we started learning Bierfest! which is some weird German song, fifth hurt my eyes, and finally lunch came. I entered the lunch room and stood in line for the buffet, one of the perks I might add. The moment I got my food I saw Dylan sitting alone by the window, staring out it. I walked over and slammed my food down on the table, startling him, me, and apparently the whole lunch room. I sheepishly glanced around and returned my attention to the man who needed some attention

"You look lonely." I said to his bored expression.

"Yeah, kind of." He said back, his expression not improving. I stared at him a minute then grabbed his face and pulled his lips into a smile.

"What the hell!?!?" He said reeling his face away and massaging his cheeks.

"You needed to smile, so I assisted." I said smirking.

"You had to rip my cheeks off?"

"Oh I hardly even pulled don't be such a bitch." He looks back out the window again then looks back

"Meet me after school today, in the teacher parking lot, there is a lot of stuff you need to know." He says standing up.

"Wait," I say trying to stop him," what do you mean."

He shrugs me off and says," Just don't be late, right after school." He walks away leaving me there, awkwardly staring at his receeding figure. What the fuck? I thought. The lunch bell rang shortly after that, snapping me out of my daze. Great, I thought, just when I thought I was beginning to understand him. I grabbed my shit and hurried to beat the swarm of teens trying to get to class. I got to my sixth hour seconds before the bell rang, took my seat and passed the fuck out. The next hour went by much the same, when the bell finally rang I practically destroyed the door racing out of it and into the parking lot long before the teachers themselves got there. I looked around for Dylan but saw no sign of him. I turned around to go back in, but there was a fist in my gut. The blow knocked the wind out of me and I collapsed. I barely recognized the massive figure looming above me. The last thing I heard before his foot came down was, "Die, halfbreed."
