Since I was born, my father has controlled every part of me, including forcing me to hide a big part of myself. He has always been ashamed of the pale patches that scattered all throughout my body and as a result, I had to hide it. Subconsciously, I bring my finger up to brush the part of my face concealed by makeup. I hate that he still had control over me, even when I'm not near him. That ends now.
I stop briefly, watching as my friends as they turn towards the way to battle brief, laughing about something Rhiannon said.
"I'll meet you at Battle Brief." I say to my group of friends before they get too far away and they all nod, not questioning it. Rhiannon looks over at me, furrowing her brows in confusion.
"Where are you going?" She asks, separating from the group of people and stopping at my side. I was not surprised that she was curious. She wanted to be where I was, but I wasn't complaining. I like having a close friend in this death college.
"I need to go back to my bunk." I say, not knowing what else to say. I feel like it would be weird to just come out and say I have makeup on. They would look at me weird, for sure.
"I'll come with you." Rhiannon says and I open my mouth to protest, but she cuts me off. "Violet, can you save us a seat?"
I look behind Rhiannon to see that Violet had stopped too, watching our interaction and waiting for Rhiannon to go to Battle Brief with.
"Sure." Violet smiles, before walking off in the direction of battle brief. I let out a soft sigh and head off towards the dorms, with Rhiannon walking right next to me.
"So, why are we going back to the dorms?" She asks quietly and I look over at her, assessing whether I should trust her. Rhiannon hasn't done anything to lose my trust and has always been there for me. If I can trust her with the whole Xaden situation, then I can definitely tell her about my father.
