Solitude

Part Sixty

Adlyn burst into Eve's room a few days later during lunch. She was bawling and she ran to Eve and flung her arms around Eve's waist.

"What's wrong?" Eve asked, utterly confused.

"He-he... There was a kid who... He called me a slut," she sobbed.

"Who?" Eve said fiercely, tensing.

"Cale," she cried.

"Cale who?"

"Flars..."

"That hijo de puta," Eve hissed under her breath. To Adlyn she said, "I have him fifth hour, don't worry I will take care of it. Is it the first time?"

She said, "Well it's the first time he said that, before he said bitch and I ignored it because I was probably being bitchy but just -"

She rubbed Adlyn's back, "It's okay, don't you worry, it will be fine," and with a final hug said, "Well go ahead to lunch."

Adlyn nodded, "Thanks!" then scampered out.

It was gonna be fun dealing with that kid.
