The School of BFB

Chpt 9: Bastard

Every hour of school, every breath of air. Firey just stared into space, under the happy clouds, the rain dove over him, spraying him with the depression shower. Firey blankly looked over at the clock hanging from the wall, above the door. Ms.Chip Bag's words muffle as he focuses only on the clock, soon something opens the door. Firey blinked, he stared at the figure, it was a small yellow X. "I can't wait to be substitute!" X shouted. Ms.Chip Bag walked out of the classroom, waving goodbye. Firey blinked again, jumping a little as he tried to figure out what he was. The substitute was no object or number, not even to Firey. He was different, he was an X. "Hello everyone i'm X!" X shouted. Firey glared at X, but looked down. What was he becoming, why was he suspicious about X? X seems like a pretty nice person, why would he do that? Why would he glare? Firey has never really done that to someone new before. Firey had changed it looked like.

It was time for Recess, and Firey had already rushed himself out the door so Match and Pencil don't approach him. Firey ran over the fresh grass and across the field, feeling the warm wood chips at last. Firey slowed down, he then saw Bracelety. "Hey Firey!" Bracelety shouted. "How do you know my name?" Firey asked. "You are popular!" Bracelety said in a cracked, loud tone. Firey tilt his head a bit, "No not that way! Everyone knows about you! Your heard everywhere! Is it true that you murdered innocents?" Bracelety continued. "No, it's not," Firey answered, a sad tone fogging his voice. "Oh, okay. But I don't really believe you!" Bracelety said, in a happy tone, skipping away. Firey groaned, "Damnit," he whispered.

The bell rang after a long ten minutes of Match and Pencil searching for Firey. Of course Firey would hide from them, why wouldn't he? Firey ran past Leafy and into the cafeteria. He fell in line with the others, soon getting his tray. After lunch, it was back to class. Firey saw a pot of flowers on his desk, he was confused but happy. Until he read the note, "If only this were Japan," Firey lost his positivity and confidence for the day. X looked over at Firey, "Whoah who gave you those!" X asked. X read the note and frowned, "Oh no, who actually gave you this," X whispered, concerned.  Firey shrugged, X grabbing the pot and walking off to the desk, sad for Firey. Firey saw Leafy, he walked up to her, "Hey Leafy," Firey whispered. Leafy turned to Firey, "Don't talk to me! Nobody loves you, nobody cares about you, you just care for yourself and nobody else!" Leafy screamed. Firey's heart sank, "Leafy-" He said, getting cut off. "I don't want to hear it!" Leafy yelled. Firey growled and slammed Leafy's desk against the wall. Leafy gasped, glaring at Firey. "Thats it! Ive had enough with you! Your such a bastard!" Leafy yelled. Firey gasped, X just stood there as the class chanted many things, X had a tear in his eye. All X could do was watch, he didn't want to make the situation worse. Firey just fell into a corner, he curled into a ball. Leafy was sent out the hall for a talk.
