The Roof
I didn't like eating much back then.
My father was a dangerous man with dangerous enemies.
So he often found his food poisoned.
It came to a point he couldn't even order.
He could only eat if Missy or himself made the food.
I grew up with this voice nagging me, telling me I could also be poisoned.
It made me have a sort of fear for food.
So I never ate lunch in high school.
After class I was heading to the library, when someone grabbed my hand.
Evie
Where the fuck are you going?
Roshan/Ace Black
What? Get your hand off me.
Roshan/Ace Black
I'll have you know I have no qualms about beating women.
Evie
But you have to eat lunch with us, remember?
Roshan/Ace Black
I don't do lunch.
Evie
You don't have to eat. Just sit with us.
Roshan/Ace Black
Why do you want me to come so bad?! Leave me!!
Evie released my hand but glared at me like I was in the wrong.
Kai Castles
Look, we just want to sit with you. Give it a chance, then you can go.
Roshan/Ace Black
And why would I do that?
Vee/Vivian Stone
Come sit with us.
Vee/Vivian Stone
Find out.
These kids...they were weird.
Roshan/Ace Black
What table do you guys sit at?
Kai and Evie burst into laughter while Vivian rolled her eyes.
Kai Castles
Table? No, no no-those are for the ingrates.
Evie mimicked my earlier statement.
Vee/Vivian Stone
Come on. We'll show you where we eat.
They grabbed their bags and went up the fire escape.
I was pretty sure it was meant to be locked and out of bounds, but somehow Evie had the keys.
We ended up on the school roof.
There were seats that looked well used, a small canopy in case it was too hot, and an ice chest, with a large rug on the concrete floor.
Roshan/Ace Black
How on earth did you guys get this up here?
Evie
We asked the janitor for a favor.
We made ourselves comfortable on the rug and Evie passed around water from the cooler.
Roshan/Ace Black
What did you guys want with me?
Kai Castles
Well that's an interesting question.
