F.A.I.T.H.

MOVIE >scene135> - A Dorm. A Delinquent. A Girl.

"I didn't know..." Fayth mumbled as they walked through the halls.

"No one expected you to." Katerina said. "It's not something you'd know just by enrolling into the Academy."

"Everyone else knew...."

"Yeah, but that's only because their rank status–" She paused mid-sentence as Connor jabbed her in the side. "You know what I mean. Where you live no one's going to talk about who's inheriting what and so on."

"Right." Looking back at her life, Fayth realized that might as well be true in a way.

"You looked really disappointed. Are you okay? It seemed like the two of you had gotten really close."

Fayth bit her bottom lip, her fingers were still trembling. "I'm okay."

Katerina squeezed her shoulder, a sympathetic look on her face.

When they entered the lounge before the kitchen, a crowd of people were standing to watch one of the Chiefs preform magic tricks.

"Hey Connor!" He exclaimed, seeing Connor in the group.

"This dude is dope. Let's watch him for a bit." Connor made his way in and slumped down on a sofa.

The others joined him. Fayth wasn't in the mood, so she turned around to leave.

"Well, if it isn't the rich wannabe." Summer said. She stood in front of Fayth, arms crossed with an arrogant smile on her lips.

Fayth's eyebrows pulled together. "What are you talking about?"

"The real question is what are you doing at night with Jessie? You're not trying to get pregnant, by any chance, are you? If you want a rich man that bad, I know a place you can go."

Fayth's face twisted with confusion. "What?"

One of the other Angels smiled. "I was walking by your dorm last night. Stop. Please stop." She said in a high pitched squeaky voice. "You don't want to do this. You were saying that last night."

"What exactly were you doing? Isn't it low to use his position as an advantage?" Summer asked. Though she was angry that Fayth was able to get Jessie when she herself couldn't, it was still more relieving than it being Lexis.

Fayth glanced around. The ones who were closest to them had turned their attention from the magician to Summer, deciding that this conversation was much more interesting.

Is she lying?

She could definitely make up a lie like that, but with all that had happened before, Summer seemed to have at least the decency to base it off of something that really did happen.

But Fayth was sure she hadn't said those things last night–

It can't be.

Fayth's eyes opened wider as she realized those words are ones she'd usually say in her nightmares. Did she sleep talk? Did she say them out loud? Had... Jessie overheard her nightmare induced words?

Summer mistook the reason behind Fayth's shocked expression. She smirked. "You dirty bitch. You want money that bad? Your thief of a father couldn't steal enough of it for you? So you're trying to do it yourself?" She fake laughed. "Like father, like daughter."

Fayth closed her eyes. The migraine she had quadrupled at the thought of Jessie knowing more things about her than she presumed.

One of the Angels threw a bundle of dollar bills into the air above Fayth's head. They scattered and rained down like a storm. As more and more green landed on the ground, more and more students looked to see what was happening.

"You're still the Academy's maid, right?" Summer said. "Pick it all up. Now."

Fayth's fingers curled into fists. She can feel her eyes sting as she stared down at her shoes. She could hear the snickering of those around her, judging the size of her as a broken whole to their flawless greatness. And yet again, Rihanna Gessner was the perfect imperfect person that they can all, regardless of status, compare themselves to, and feel absolute superiority in themselves in comparison to her.

"NOW!" Summer enunciated loudly, taking a step towards her.

Fayth's legs trembled as she knelt down on her knees and began picking up the dollars into her hand. People behind her burst out laughing, others were taking photos and videos, some threw insults, and Summer stood above her, mocking the little pest that was so easy to handle.

This is where you belong. Down there. Never forget that.

Fayth closed her eyes.

To judge a person, to beak a person down, to feel superior and say how you feel about it, shows exactly what kind of person you hide in you.

"At least you know where your position is now." Summer said.

"YOU BITCH!"

Connor flipped over the table in front of the sofa, and it landed feet away. He was so angry it was terrifying. His extra built body became even more buffed out as he stormed his way toward Summer.

Katerina was already making her way toward Summer as well, pushing her sleeves back and tying her hair up in a ponytail holder.

When Connor gets angry, he becomes blinded. He'd kill a person for all he cares, let alone consider the gender. Whether its a guy, a girl, or a dog, he'd fight the hell out of it, beat it down into a pulp, until his fiery anger had subsided.

"I'ma fucking kill you bitch." And he attacked Summer.

Before his fist met with the shrieking Summer, Fayth jumped to her feet and blocked it.

"Connor, stop." She demanded.

Connor wasn't seeing anymore. All he saw was red. He went around Fayth, wanting to get his hands on Summer, but again, Fayth blocked him.

One more punch later, Connor was full on fighting Fayth. Yes, he was still swearing and cursing the hell out of Summer, but his attacks were all directed at Fayth. He was that blinded.

Behind them, Katerina had her hands on Summer, their nail and hair fight looked nothing like Fayth's and Connor's.

While everyone watched the scene unfold in front of them, Fayth slowly realized that she was the center of the attention. She was fighting. She was blocking Connor's incredibly skilled moves. She was now a completely different person in their eyes.

More photos. More videos.

When Connor's anger began to subside, Fayth held his wrists in a tight grasp. "Connor, look at me. It's okay. I don't care, okay? This means nothing to me. I'm okay."

His eyes began to slowly focus. His heavy breathing was slowly calming down. When he finally saw Fayth, he peeked around her at Katerina and Summer.

Fayth turned around and Connor threw his arm around her shoulder.

"So that's how rich girls fight like?" Fayth asked.

"We should give it a name."

"Yeah? Like what?"

"'Girls Can't Fight For Shit'."

Fayth looked at him, shocked. "Hey!"

"Not you. You're not human."

Across the massive school building, back in Fayth's dorm, Jessie went through the pictures once more before he took out his phone and gave Lexis a call.

"Hey, where are you?"

"Outside door 'C' with Dawn."

"How about Rihanna? Have you seen her anywhere?"

"She was just here. Katerina took her to the kitchen. Why?"

"Can you sneak into my dorm? There is something I want to show you."

"Sounds serious."

Jessie stared at the picture in front of him, his heart beating anxiously. "It is."
