On The Run

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Life is fraught with opportunities to keep your mouth shut.
- Winston Churchill

The rest of the day goes on with me, Chole, and Zenon talking about random shit and goofing off. 

Every once in a while though, I would catch myself thinking that Veronica is going to get me back for humiliating her in front of the entire school. I shrug it off because if she does something to me or my family, I will not hesitate and hurt her.

Once Zenon drops me at my house I walk straight in, drop my stuff, change into some workout clothes and go to the punching bag. Wrapping my hands, I start hitting the punching bag thinking about today and what Barbie is going to do. Eventually Mark comes in and joins in.

" So I want to talk about what happened in school today. I mean I was there, and you really told her off, but I know there was a reason behind it." He says when we are sitting down and cooling off. " I was just getting tired of her bitchy ass thinking she owned everything and everyone, so when she drew some dicks in my notebook and came back from skipping two days and none of the teachers got on her ass, I decided to do something. She might be the golden girl to the teachers, but really she is a bitchy little drama queen that no one really pays attention to. I was just telling her the honest truth." I say.

" I get that, but you know you're supposed to keep a low profile, right." He says and I hang my head. " I know, it's just hard when you get bullied for good grades and being smart, when that is a great quality to have. I hate being bossed around, as you know, and so when she started doing that, I tried really hard not to do anything. Trust me, she has done much worse than drawing dicks all over my notebook, but that was just the last of my patients slipping. I mean, honestly, as long as I didn't lose total control the school won't go haywire and get back to how it normally is after a few days." I say as Mark nods his head in agreement because he knows what can happen when I lose all of my control.

We sit in silence for a while until we hear Aunt Olivia yelling at us that dinner is ready. Honestly I didn't think I was up here for that long.

I quickly take a short shower and change and walk to the dinner table. We talk about little stuff and our day then go to the living room to watch Netflix and chill since today is Friday and no school or work is going on tomorrow. One by one everyone goes to their rooms, except for me because I am not tired yet.

Around midnight, I hear some thumping on the side of the house and roof. Panicking because I was thinking they found me and coming to get me, I wake up Mark and Olivia and tell them to listen. 

They looked at me startled, thinking the same thing. We all go outside, Olivia with a pistol and it's silencer in hand and me and Mark bare handed. We split up, because we know we all can handle ourselves. I find a bat at the side of the house and walk to where I keep hearing the noise.
