Most students probably felt that lunch time was the best part of going to school. They could mingle with their friends and take a break from their studies. For Lena, lunch was about the worst thing ever. For the brief time she was in school before Ethan had arrived, she had taken to eating lunch in the bathroom. It was hard to describe the feeling of wanting to hide herself while simultaneously accepting herself. She was a freak, of that she was sure, but she was okay with it. What she wasn’t okay with was the way people somehow hated her for it for some reason. Having Ethan around made things better, even if she was constantly worried about his safety. Perhaps it was selfish on her part, but she felt more at ease knowing he was around. Even if she didn’t always know where he was, at least he was close by, and she knew she could get to him quickly in case anything were to happen. However, just because Ethan was here didn’t meant that anything had changed with her classmates. There had already been this group of girls who made it a point to give her strange looks when they thought she wasn’t looking. Lena held back from setting their hair on fire several times. Ethan would be disappointed in her if she’d done that. Optimistically, however, Lena thought that she could be, just for one day, a normal person. She stood at the entrance of the lunchroom scoping it out in search of Ethan. Maybe for one day she could have lunch with her boyfriend in the school cafeteria and it wouldn’t be a big deal. She carried a tray of gross lunch food in her hands, but she was starving and didn’t care how bad the food tasted around here. Unfortunately though, Lena was not allowed to have a normal day. She was not allowed to eat her gross lunch food, and she was not allowed to be a normal person. Out of the blue, someone pulled up behind her and flicked the tray out of her hands, causing its contents to fall all over the floor and on her clothes and shoes. Globs of mashed potatoes smeared her skirt and slid down her legs. A jiggly pile of jello decorated her shoes, and the splatter of ketchup upon impact dotted her arms and some part of her face. “Ooops! My bad!” Lena caught sight of the culprit out of the corner of her eye, some guy she knew to be affiliated with that one group of girls who hated her for no reason. As if on cue, all of those girls started laughing from their designated spot in the corner, causing the whole cafeteria to go up in a roaring laughter. I’ll burn them all. Rage blurred her vision as she stared at all of them, laughing at her as she wore her lunch all over her. I hate all of them. I’ll burn them all to a crisp. |
