Lunch.

[Dree]

Leea walked outside the school, staying the the sheilded portion of the grounds. She held a plateful of spaghetti in one hand, and her large purse in the other. She dropped both on the bench with a bit more force than nessasary.
The sun was shining, everything looked fine.
But she couldn't help thinking of everything that had changed since her first day, when she had eaten out here, and everything had been looking up.

Sarai sat down next to her with pizza, still in a bad mood about Zach. He was such a moron! If there wasn't a war going on he would so be dead at the moment. But sadly she had other things to think about and started plotting about battle tactics.

[Dree]

Without a word, Leea pulled a book out of her bag and started reading. But she couldn't concentrate with Sarai sitting there.
"You know what I don't get?" she burst out. "How you can betray us, ditch the school, and run off to your loverman. But when you decide you don't like it there anymore, you come back here and we all take you back as if nothing ever happened. As if its all okay. Well, its not"

Sarai just stared blankly at Azaleah. She truthfully just didn't know what to say. So Sarai got up and left, leaving Azaleah behind. Behind.....


(Short yucky post )

[Dree]

Just running away like she always did. Leea scowled and picked up her book again, scanning through the words, but she could barely concentrate, and kept rereading the same line.

Minnie stood with her lunch tray, looking behind her as Sarai walked away. She shrugged, and continued on towards Leea, sitting down next to her. She put her arm around her friend. "Soo, what's new?" When the Bardhi Ticha didn't respond, Minnie took her arm and put it on her lesson plans, and exhaled. She picked up her slice of pizza and took a bite, opening the book.

[Dree]

Leea shrugged. Her head was pounding. She was going to explode. "f**k this." she snarled. "Everything. Intoxicated death, the war, the school. To hell with Sarai and Romulus and Felicity. I CANT STAND THIS." Her voice rose dangerously "ITS NOT MY PROBLEM. ITS MY TRAITOR OF A SISTER'S PROBLEM. ITS MY WHORRE OF A BOSS'S PROBLEM. ITS HER PSYCHOTIC MURDERER OF AN EXBOYFRIENDS PROBLEM. WHY DID I EVEN TAKE THIS POINTLESS JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE?! I'M A TEACHER, FOR GOD'S SAKE! AND WHAT THE HELL HAVE I TAUGHT?! THESE KIDS ARE ALL GOING TO GROW UP AND START THEIR OWN IDIOT WARS AND KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE. AND FEW PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY COME OUT OF THIS SEMI-NORMAL ARE GOING TO LIVE IN THEIR TINY HOUSES WITH THEIR TINY FAMILIES AND THEIR TINY JOBS AND THEIR TINY LIVES AND NONE OF IT WILL MATTER IN A HUNDRED YEARS. WHY THE HELL IS THAT? NOBODY MENTIONS THE GOOD, INNOCENT PEOPLE! IN A HUNDRED YEARS, ALL ANYBODY IS GOING TO REMEMBER IS GOING TO BE THESE WARS AND THE PEOPLE WHO STARTED THEM. NOT THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO DIED, NOT THE SMART PEOPLE WHO STAYED OUT OF IT! NOT ME, NOT YOU, AND NOT THE KIDS! JUST LIARS AND FOOLS AND NOBODY ELSE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! NOTHING EVER CHANGES, DOES IT!? YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYBODY, THERES NOBODY WORTH RESPECTING! EVER! WHEN DOES IT END? YOU GET OLD AND DIE AND THEN EVERYBODY FORGETS YOU!? WHATS THE d**n POINT THEN!??" everybody was looking at her now, but she didn't care.

((Mental breakdown...))

[Lynaa]

Minnie widened her eyes, and shook her head, looking at her book with her eyes closed. She shut the book, and picked up her empty tray, getting up and standing still in front of her "friend". "Leea, I don't know what to say. I really don't, but it looks like right now you don't want to be with me or anyone. I'm going back to my classroom- come see me later if you feel better to talking to me. She flipped around and began to walk away, her eyes close to sheading tears. F**k this? Screw everything thats happening? What kind of friend is Leea to me right now? she thought harshly to herself, and turned the corner, away from the grounds, and away from the shattered remains of her friend.

[Dree]

"What the hell, Minnie?!" Leea snapped, running up to catch up with her. "I'm not mad at YOU, for God's sake. Can't I be pissed? Because something IS wrong here. I don't know how the hell you're acting like everythings happy, because its not. Its screwed up, and I'm screwed up" then she rolled her eyes. God, why was Minnie getting so mad about a few stupid sentences. "If you haven't noticed, hun, we're in the middle of a war here, our headmistress just betrayed us, two students are dead and more will die. So excuse me for getting mad. Excuse me for being the only one who's actually acting like theres a problem here. Because we are not all going to survive this. People are going to DIE."

[Lynaa]

Minnie stopped and stood still, just watching her friend speak. She felt devestated- HOW COULD SHE JUST WALK OFF? She sighed, and put her head down, exhausted. "Leea, I am not angry because you're pissed. You can be pissed as much as you want to, but the way you yelled like that threw me off. I'm sorry... I shouldn't have walked off." She looked sad. "I know how overwhelmed you are, but you aren't the ONLY one having troubles here. I'm JUST as pissed as you. Do you think that this isn't overwhelming me, too? I just can't WAIT for this all to be over."

[Dree]

"Yeah. None of this is our problem, yet we're being dragged into the middle of it! This is so stupid. This is my sister we're talking about!" she snarled, swiping her fingers through her hair and scowling irritably.

[Lynaa]

"I know what you mean. If one of my sisters was in there, I'd..." she cut off and rolled her eyes. "I still can't believe that your sister is there," she mumbled, trying to say something, but really not succeding.

[Dree]

Leea shrugged. "And Sarai. I have no respect for her. None. I have half a mind to leave right now. I would, too, if it wasn't for the children. Sarai betrayed us for Romulus. And now shes back and we're just forgiving her, and acting like it never happened. Thats... weak."

[Lynaa]

Minnie nodded. She still liked Sarai, but she would listen to her friend. She had absolutely NO right to convince Leea otherwise. She whispered, "I would leave too, Leea. But we have to get rid of this hard time, and we need to teach these kids. After this year, I'll probably go too."

[Dree]

"Why this job?" she groaned. "Just tell me why.." she said, directing that question at nobody in particular. "I hate it. Never. Never again" she said weakly, shaking her head in exasperation.
