The cafeteria. "Careful, sometimes rat food isn't edible. Always smell it first." I said to the unwilling boy, who was holding a tray filled with slop, while I was holding a tray filled with gourmet roast chicken.
"You can have some of mine, since it's your first day." I gave a innocent smile.
As the pair were walking I could feel everyone's eyes on us. "Take a picture, it'll last longer!" I shouted across the cafeteria. "Don't mind them, they always stare at people like us, some would think there jealous. Anyways, sit at the high class table with the rats."
Marcus sat down across from me and he began to doodle in his book. Billy ran up and leaped on the table.
"I think Chico has a crush on you. Or he wants to kill you. Probably kill." Marcus turned around to see Chico staring at him.
"Tomorrow this could be you. Famous." Pointing to a missing poster on his milk carton. Me and Billy laughed. "In his dreams." "Fuck that bully. He pushed a girl." I looked at the boy for the first time with curiosity, I saw a hatred that I hadn't seen before. "Marcus, oh Marcus. That's nothing. You should see what else he's done. He loves Maria, or cares for Maria. I'm not sure if a heart as cold as his could love. Either way, Chico would never kill Maria, he only kills whoever Maria talks too... You."
"What's his deal anyways?" Billy picked up some food and placed it in his mouth. "Chico's cartel. Numero uno on campus. Like the star football kids in a normal school." I point a pencil at Chico, making a slicing motion causing him to look away.
"Dicks." I took out a pocket knife and started to scratch something into the table. "Top of the legacies. Kids from the government l or criminal organisations. As in, not like us." Billy told the boy, still compiling food into his mouth.
"Us-?" I stopped using my knife and pointed at the boy. "Rats Marcus. Jeez you think I told you nothing." Marcus rolled his eyes looking back at Billy.
My old man's an abusive low life, dialled into the mob. You're a bloodthirsty orphan. And shes a stone hearted killer. We're losers dude!" Everyone laughs. "Thank man, I'm not stone hearted, I'm just... particular." A small smile appearing on my face.
Marcus looked over at another table. "What about them?"
"Preps" Billy tried to answer his face filled with milk and rice. "That's disgusting dude, shut your gob!" Billy just looked away.
"Rich kids. mostly CIA, FBI." I finished of Billy's sentence. "Fascists." Marcus was intently staring at me, making me blush a little.
"Exactly." This broke the trance and I looked away, going back to her carving.
"Dixie mob. Considerate cousin-diddlers. White nationalists." Marcus turned around. "Nazi's?"
"You can't seem to keep those rascally varmints down." This was Brandy's table. Marcus's staring earned the table a middle finger. "Oh, white power!"
Billy giggled nervously. "Dude in the iron maiden tee, that's Leonard. Leads the Hessians. Lower on the totem pole, but he's got weed." I thought about that dude. "God he's a dick, but hes a sucker for the ladies. Need any weed just ask your girl to ask him for some, he'll give it for free and a smack on the ass." I said glaring at the hippie.
Marcus laughed. I wasn't a sucker for the ladies like Leonard but I was a sucker for Marcus's smile. "Final World Order out of Watts. Party bummers. Leaders Willie."
"What about her?" I looked up to see Marcus pointing at Saya. Of course it was Saya. "Oh young man's got his eye on the untameable Saya." I said with a sassy undertone
"Part valedictorian, part prom queen. 100% bitch." Billy said. "She's not a bitch Billy, your just a douche bag. Aka she doesn't like you, get over it!" I said lashing back. " feisty i see!" I roll my eyes. "Nope, just speaking what you need to hear, noble yourself sprout head."
"She leads the Kuroki Syndicate, Yakuza kids." I said finally answering the boys question.
"Gnarly." Billy announced.
Marcus lifted his hand to wave at the girl, but Billy smacked it down.
"No dude. No, no, no. You're a rat." I looked at saya giving her a wave and receiving one back. "Harsh." The boy added. "No dude, I told you. As in you have no legancy." I told the boy, getting slightly that he kept not listening.
"You got the welcoming rat bones and seasonal cheese basket."
"You're at the bottom of the food chain. No affiliation." I sighed to my speech as it was unfair.
"Come on, I want to show you something!" Billy jumped over the table again walking away making me and Marcus get up and follow.

The rooftop. "This is the graveyard." Billy said to the boy. "Also known as the rooftop." I spoke simplifying it.
"Hideaway of the kooks, subculture elitists, and the disenfranchised substance of losers." Billy said while walking with Marcus, I had gone ahead to go and find Lex and Petra.
As I was walking around I spotted them sitting on a wall listening to music. "Petra, Lex!" I ran up to them high-fiving them both. "You got the weed?" I asked. Petra had thought ahead already and rolled one and a lighter. "Cheers."
I lit it and sat on the wall next to the two. "Those who in general don't mix well with others." Marcus answered Billy.
"It's simple solution, okay? You have a John Hugnes screening in theatre-shaped furnace, right?" Petra made a blown up motion with her hands. "You know?"
"Yeah, but in all honesty, oh look it's street trash and the vegetable head!" I said mocking the two boys who had finally made there way over to the group.
I got up and walked over to Marcus passing him the weed. "You'll need it to get though the rest of the day."
The boy lifted it in order to say thank you. "Petra, Lex meet Marcus the new rat." I swung my arm around the boys neck. "Ah, your the orphanage killer, correct?" Marcus simply nodded taking in a puff. "Careful Lex you might be on his list next." Petra said. "Right because all killers kill for fun right, they never have a reason?" I said annoyed.
"He's gonna fight Chico? Looks like a proper asshole." Marcus sat down on a chair facing the 4 kings students. "Oh he is, but that's what makes him, him. Wouldn't have it any other way."
"Lex is head of the civility club." "Civility is just lying to people about your true feelings, wanker." Lex blasted back into Billy's face. I took the boys pot, placing it to my lips. "Not an affiliation." She took a puff giving it back to Marcus.
"He definitely does suffer from it" Marcus said. Petra laughed. "Oh, extra credit for making suzie sue laugh."
"Smile? Hard to tell under all that makeup. How long does it take you to paint that ghoulish sad clown face, Petra, love?" Lex began. Lex was always a dick but the rats grew to like that about him even if it was annoying at times.
"Oh, holy mope, Batman! Rain check on the black celebration." I zoned out to Lex, Petra, and Billy blabbering on about shit and thinking of someone I hadn't seen in a very long time.
I snapped out of it when Lex said "does that scare you asshole?" "Absolutely" I walked over to Marcus sliding my hands down his front from behind. "Come on, no friend of mine can be a scared little boy, man up!" I laughed before taking away my hands sitting in the wall behind the boy.
"I'm going to kill the guy who ruined my life. Im going to assassinate Ronald Reagan." My eyes flew open as I jumped off the wall, hitting the floor with a bang. "Wow dude, didn't think you would ever kill again. You always look so scared at the site of any violence. Respect." I announced.
Everyone laughed after my comment about him killing again. "Mate you are mental."
"Ready or not, after school today, one of you is gonna die." "Yeah yeah, nice, but I'm going. catch y'all later!" I said walking away.

I went to the bathroom to wash up before class. I walked in to see Saya picking up a pill bottle. "Saya?" I ask concerned she's piping pills in the bathroom.
"There not mine there... there Maria's." Saya responded. "Oh, Maria are you ok?" I grabbed the pill bottle. "She's bipolar?" I whispered so that only Saya could hear, respecting that Maria probably didn't want anybody knowing. Saya just shrugged her shoulders.
Maria opened the stall door, grabbed the bottle and ran for the door.
"Maria!" Saya shouted, we run after Maria, but she's too quick. We were stopped by Marcus.
"I got to talk to you." The boy stuttered. "Get lost" Saya exclaimed pushing past him out the door leaving Marcus and me.
"Please." He pleaded with me.
I checked to make sure no one was coming and pulled the boy into the bathroom.
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
"Chico?" I exclaimed. What the actual duck is wrong with him. I rub my hand over my forehead.
"Your the one who started shit with Chico..." I said as in a way like 'what the fuck do you want me to do about it'.
"He was chocking Maria." The boy spoke trying to excuse his actions. "Nah, Marcus, I told you he wouldn't actually hurt her!"
"Well I couldn't stand by..." Marcus began. "Maria. Well good luck with that, psycho." I began to walk out to go and find Saya and Maria.
"It's all bullshit." This made me stop in my path, and turn to face the boy.
"This stupid reputation." He let out a gasp. Obviously not wanting to let that information out.
As the boy paced around the bathroom he took out a cigarette and lit it.
"When I was nine, my dad and my mom, they died right in front of me. Court sent me to a boys home. The place was just a sweatshop. They... they tortured us. They... they- they did a lot of bad shit. I hurt some guards when I bailed, but I- I didn't kill those kids." Marcus said struggling to get his words out.
"The newspapers, cops?" "They got it all wrong and that's not the point. I'm not what you think I am. I'm not like you." He continued.
"No Marcus, you're exactly like me... well if it's all bullshit, then why did you come here?" I said ignoring the fact that I had just outed myself as well.
"You told me to. You kissed me." The boy answered. I was left speechless. "Dude that was an assignment. Lin would have failed me if I didn't."
"You told me I didn't have to be alone." Marcus looked to the floor. "And you don't, you have a place here. But then you went and fucked shit up, you went and fucked with Chico."
"I didn't know." "Didn't know what? That the tatted-up Vato was a legitimate killer, and not a theatre kid?" I got close to the boys face.
"Do you have any idea where you are?"
"That's why I'm asking for your help." The boy added.
"He's going to kill you, so do the only thing you can do... run." I was just starting to like Marcus as well. Now he's leaving like everyone else. Great.
With that Marcus ran out of the bathroom and too his locker I followed close behind not letting him see me.
The boy was running too fast and hit a girl. It was Maria.
"Jesus, Maria, What happened?!" The boy said looking at the girls black eye. Trying to touch it, the girl just pushed his hand away.
"It nothing... he said he'll do a lot worse to you. So just forget it, okay?" I looked at the girl, the bruises were rather purple. I didn't think much of it as everyone bruised different. "Son of a bitch." Marcus gasped under his breath.
"Just leave it alone Marcus." The boy ran off going towards the front of the school. "Shit, where's that boy going!?" I exclaimed coming out from around the corner.
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
I got outside to see Marcus being held up against a wall by Chico, knife to throat.
"Say Chico's the man, and you're his bitch. Say it!" Chico threatened. I ran up to Chico, picking my time to interfere.
"You're just a dickhead. Rich kid in a prep school, playing the role daddy assigned." Marcus was walking on thin ice and he knew it. Chico glared at the boy pushing the knife harder against his throat.
"Chico stop! You can kill another student." I said trying to stop the boy with words first.
"You're little girlfriend here to save you, pathetic!" I lifted my skirt slightly pulling out my knife, getting ready to pounce.
"You got something to loose. I don't. I fought a guy who carved people up for fun. You're just a poser." My eyes widened. "You think they'll kick me out for fitting a rat?" I had had enough.
"No but they'll kick you out for gutting a legacy." I said twisting Chico's arm behind him, flipping him so that he was now on the wall. I held my knife to his cheek. "You hurt him, and you die. Got it?"
Chico did not respond. "I said, DO YOU GOT IT?" I pressed the knife into Chico's cheek making it bleed. "Got it." Is all I got, before pulling away the knife and licking it. Not letting him get out of my grasp on the wall.
"Enough." Me, Chico, and Marcus all looked up at the stairwell to see Master Lin staring at them. I let go of Chico. "You got lucky this time." I whispered to the boy before pushing him away. "I was just showing my old pal, Chico here, how it's done. Nothing to worry about Lin."
Marcus walked over to where his bag sat, and picked it up. "Fuck this place."
"Hey, hey, hey, no need for that language. I just saved you're ass." I said running up to the boy. "I'm leaving." "No, no you're not. I like you Marcus, and I don't like many people."
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
I was outright bored alone in my dorm. I tried to convince Marcus to stay but he wouldn't. I had failed. Failed... that reminded me of my homework. Kill someone who deserves to die. Who deserves to die? "Nicolas." I said out loud. Nicolas was one of the guards at the girls home. One of the only ones who got out. He was always rude to my best friend in the girls home, or what I thought amber was my best friend, she wasn't. Nicolas never really noticed me, only amber. He liked to... play with amber.
I decided that tonight was the night I killed him. For a good cause right? That's what I told myself at least it made it easier.
I got up and slid on some dark clothes, some clothes that I knew would be good for my mission, but also hot.
I always loved this top, it was a gift from my brother.
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
I was looking down the streets of San Francisco hopping to stumble upon Nicolas. But no, it was too easy.
Nicolas was always predictable so I had no trouble finding out his where abouts. The old abounded warehouse.
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
I grab my knife out of her pouch, getting ready to kill as I approached the building with caution. "Nicolas, I know your here..."
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Is it Scarlet, or the new developed goddess? Oh, how lovely it is to see you again my dear." Nicolas came around the corner surprising me. "Can't say the same."
"Still salty I see. Never change, do they." Nicolas was circling me.
"Well nice chat, but I must be killing you now." I said letting the go in her hand, flinging it towards the man.
"Miss, try again." Nicolas mocked, snatching the knife away from me. "Not yours anymore."
I stopped and looked around. "Fine you're right. I never change. That why I can't do it. You win."I took of my pouch and placed it on the floor.
"Just like that, no I don't believe it!" I sighed. "I'm tired of fighting my way though life. Just kill me." I announced.
As the man was picking up the knife I flew around picking up a different knife across the room. Stabbing it into the man's throat. "That's what you get for raping amber, so many times. And hurting all those poor innocent girls. Rot in hell you bastard!" I pulled the knife across Nicolas's neck, slicing it.
Right before he fell he managed to get out his last words. "You bitch." Stabbing my knife into my stomach, not having enough strength to stab it in far enough in to the point it would be fatal.
"I know." I pushed over the man. "Right, he said 'Discard the body, hide all evidence. Bring me proof.'. First get evidence."
I pulled out a small glass tube and filled it with the man's blood. Collecting it from his neck. "Step one, done. Step two, discard the body." I looked around and saw a barrel. "Perfect!"
I rolled the body over to the barrel and stuffed the body inside. I picked up the acid next to it and pored it on top. The body instantly started to decompose. "Step two, done. Step three, hide all evidence." I sighed as I looked at the blood mess.
"Great."
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
"Finally!" I spoke as I wiped away the last gash of blood. "Hey, who's in there?" A voice came though the door. "Shit." I climbed though the window and onto the roof.
"Job complete." I began my journey back to kings dominion.
