Chapter 0144


    Chapter 0144


    "We all need to report to dad after school, all warriors fifteen and older are going to start running


    patrols. He wants to pair underage warriors with seasoned warriors so we can all learn the routes


    and procedures. Ride with us or don''t, it''s up to you, but we''re all going to the same ce." Sam


    huffs at both of us, still not looking at me, before heading off to get lunch.


    The rest of the guys stand in the hallway a little longer just staring at us, then they all walk away as


    well.


    "Well they must really be pissed at me if Sam is the one giving the cold shoulder. You should go sit


    with them, you both do not deserve to be caught up in the BS between the twins, Oliver and I. I


    swear I will be okay on my own for a little bit. I promise I will even sit close enough for you to keep


    an eye on me. I look at Sierra, who''s staring longingly at Sam''s retreating back


    I walk away, not waiting for her to respond, to a corner table no one is upying, my appetite is lost


    after realizing what my behavior is doing to my friends'' rtionship. This time I can''t just give in


    when they say sorry though. Their opinion won ''t change, but neither will mine.


    It''s nice and quiet over here. Most people don''t like it because it is tucked into a corner, you cannot


    see a portion of the lunch room and, more importantly, you can''t be seen. I can keep Sierra in my


    sights, which means she can see me, so Pm technically not alone. I pull out a book from our


    strategies ss. We are working through wars that have happened in thest hundred years and


    analyzing why they started in the first ce, what ultimately ended them and how each side was


    either sessful or failed. Our teacher also posed the question of should they have started in the


    first ce?


    I was so caught up in a war that Alpha King Reggie''s grandfather fought in, I didn''t see my brother


    sneak up on me. Another downside to this corner is the AC unit blowing across my head making me


    upwind, I didn''t smell himing up behind me either.


    "You need to see this from our side, Shorty. Wecan''t protect you if you go away and we don''t know


    who you''ll be with or what they are going to do with you and that scares the sh*t out of all of us."


    I didn ''t look up from my book. "I will ept your


    position..." He took a deep breath in, sighed it out loudly and rxed next to me, but I wasn''t


    finished. When you all ept my position. You do not NEED to protect me. Pm sure in our short


    time together you have all at least figured that out. As far as who I will be hanging around with, get


    over yourselves. Do I need to remind you that until Sierra came, none of you gave two sh*ts what


    happened to me, or who I was with. So find a new excuse for your behavior. Just because you care


    now doesn''t change that. I am doing my best to not hold that against you, but it''s hard when your


    archaic misogynistic sidese out in all their flying colors."


    "That''s not fair, you never said anything, never asked for help, neverined. Had you said


    something we would have stepped in sooner."


    I take a deep calming breath, I cannot lose my temper here. "Did you just say it''s my fault that dad


    treated me the way he did? Pawned me off on a nanny who wasn''t allowed to do more than feed


    me and get me to school. Or that getting bullied was my fault? What happens to me now, I will fully


    own, it is my choice to take the burdens of those younger and weaker than me, but not originally.


    You did not take notice and I won''t let you put that me on rne_ I am full on ring at him now.


    "I''m not going to let you make me feel guilty for how you feel now.


    "That''s not what I said., and you know it."


    "That''s exactly what you just said! At least I know how you really feel. It won''t matter howmany


    times I beat you and the guys, you all think you are better than me and that I need you and can''t


    survive life without you. Thank you for rifying Mateo, excuse me, I have ss to get to." I shoved


    everything in my bag and got up to leave. I wasn''t waiting for anyone to catch up with me.


    I got to our Health and healing ss and made my way to the backof the room in the corner, hoping


    that people would sit around me and none of them coulde near me. I was not lucky enough


    though, no one was going to mess with the guys looking the way they did when they came in the


    room. Sierra sat next to me, Oliver in front of me, Mateo diagonal, and Sam, Kota and Cam finished


    out the back row next to Sierra. Again we all only speak when necessary, but you could cut the


    tension in the room with a knife. If this keeps up, I may go to the Luna and see if I can just finish my


    sses remotely. This is ridiculous.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
