The Fall's Aftermath 2

Unfortunately the atmosphere inside the class wasn't much better than the one outside. Violet's energy turned out to be a rare exception amongst the students.

' Well, at least this means they won't be picking on me as much... I think '. The school I was attending was famous for being a rich kids club, and my worn clothing was gathering was gathering... unwanted... attention.

The silence was only interrupted by the arrival of the teacher. And even this didn't change the mood as the first thing he did was lecture us on the current events and how we should face them. The class almost seemed to be relieved when they were told to open up the text books. Almost. This specific class wasn't keen on maths.

As the once dreaded maths exercises drilled some much needed sense of normalcy in me I forgot all about about the crisis for a second. Until someone bursted trough the door that is. The culprit was none other than George, the green-eyed bulky brunette known by some as the local bully. He mostly ignored me thankfully. George made his way to his seat and muttered.

" Sorry I'm late. "

" George hold right there! " the professor yelled." You are late to class, that's fine considering the circumstances but at least have some common courtesy and knock on the door! And ask for permission to seat for crying out loud! "

" Fine! Do you want me to seat or not?! Tell me! " George yelled back.

I could clearly see that the professor was baffled by this response. But after just a few seconds I could see a vein forming on his forehead.

" Out, now! " he said before he changed his mind. " Actually, you follow me to the principle office. Your nerve is just unbelievable! " than he grabbed George by the ear and went out of sight.

After their departure the class got significantly louder. Seems like this incident rekindled their need for banter.

" Well.. that was odd "Violet, who was seated near me, said. " George's a bit of a bully but he never talks back to the teachers. I wonder why the sudden change "

" Your guess is as good as mine " I replied " I just hope he doesn't direct that energy towards the rest of us. An enraged George is quite a daunting thought "

" Ooh? Are you scared of George picking on you? That's a bit cowordly not gonna lie. " Violet teased.

" There's a fine line between brave and stupid. Not being wary about someone twice as big as you is, in essence, stupid. But I'm not scared of him. We don't have any beef, after all he mostly just ignores me "

" I don't know, seems like excuses to mee " Violet continued.

" Think what you will " I shrugged my shoulders.

" Bah! You're no fun sometimes!" she said seeing that she wasn't getting trough me, than went and joined the discussion on the other side of the table.

' No more interruptions than ' I chuckled internally. Than I broke off and turned my attention at the window. But it was harder now to lose myself in the Cristal blue ocean this time. The image of the crimson sky and the fall of the meteor kept bothering me each time I tried. ' Oh, sky, I have looked up to you as the perfect standard for so long yet you have brought such mischief among us this time... don't tell me that you, too, are flawed '
