Another day.
Another day at this hell of a "school".
Shadowsan was starting to lose it, rumors kept spreading about him. And it was annoying to have some dick at his face asking if they were true.
Lady dokuso was a petty woman. Even after the breakup all she desired was to torment him.
Whatever, why did he care.
It's not like he still.... Loved her or something, she sucks. All she did was use him! That's the only reason she showed affection!
How can he love someone who doesn't reciprocate?
Whatever. Who cares?
It was passing period. Shadowsan just leaned on his locker, he felt something was off.
Something abnormal...
Oh. Probably that white haired girl.
She's.... Not here?
He just noticed how odd that was.
See spider lily and him have been..... Acquainted for a while.
And she's very loud and obnoxious... But today he hasn't seen her.
It's quiet. Hes alone...
That's not right.
Is the idiot girl sick?
Where was she?!
Why did he care? She's super annoying he wants nothing but to push her away.
And sure her hair was pretty but she's super annoying. He should be celebrating the fact she's not at his shoulder.
Whatever.
However a hard bang from the locker beside him snapped him out of it.
Oh... Lady dokuso. And besides her this bitch she's friends with. Cookie booker. The vile student body president. Why the fuck does that exist
Yay...
"Move you dick you are leaning on my locker."
Lady dokuso said condescendingly. Shadowsans previous yearning of her was now completely subsided.
"k"
He muttered before moving, he wasn't going to engage much... Though a part of him wished he could. Part of him wished he could still love her, she's the only person who validated him
Even if it was just a cruel and toxic joke.
Maybe if he wasn't so pathetic and useless she wouldn't have left him in front of everyone.
Lady dokuso rummaged through her locker,noticing how shadowsan appeared to be completely unfazed by her presence. But she knew him. And she once knew suhara. She knew he was hurt.
And that gave her joy.
"Well you look pleased"
She smirked. Shadowsan wanted to gouge her eyes out. Then get on his knees and beg for her love just one more time.
"I was until your presence."
He said feigning nonchalance. The best way to ward off the enemy is to not care.
"don't act cocky suhara"
She responded, smirk fading into cod calculated anger.
"Don't call me that. And I'm just being honest, you and your minion can fuck off and die for all I care"
He responded coldly. Lady dokuso and cookie booker for that matter were anything but pleased.
Cookie booker snarled, how dare he talk to her like that?!
"Have some respect shadowsan."
"No. Now fuck off. You got to your locker did you not?"
Shadowsan responded coldly. Lady dokuso was severely unpleased. So she decided he could use a lesson.
Sometimes the best way to teach someone is discipline,shadowsan knows this well. But lady dokuso knows this better.
"I see you still haven't changed. Fine."
She rummaged her bag and grabbed a bottle of water. And proceeded to spill it all over him.
"You can take that!"
Much to his shock and fury and the laughter of other students.
"YOU BITCH!"
Shadowsan was drenched. Head to toe. And severely humiliated as others laughed.
"what? Can't handle a little spill?"
Cookie booker barked out laughter. Watching shadowsans horrified and humiliated face.
His entire gimmick is to stay hidden and now he was on display... Infront of everyone. A laughing stock.
Shoved into spotlight and the light reflected from the iris' of others.
He just stormed off.
Stormed off so fast he didn't see someone he knew saw him...
"shadow-"
He ignored the person running off to his dorm to just hide away and pretend he doesn't care. He does.
He hates being put on display. He can't bare the eyes... The humiliation.
He feels less than human, and deep down he knows he deserves it. He's nothing but a fool.
---------------------------
Spider lily was pretty much gone the whole day. She was feeling quite sick. She was in the nurses office the whole day.
Maybe she should become a nurse one day! To repay the favor to these sweet innocent nurses.
"Thank you mother!"
She waved to the nurse. In VILE they call the nurses mother, perhaps because no one will ever be as parental as these nurses anytime soon. Spider lily never had a mother, sure she was alive. But she wasn't there.
She frolicked out of the nurses office. Only to see a lot of commotion.
Shadowsan was drenched and running off...what the hell?!
"shadow-"
He didn't even notice her. He was too ashamed...
What is going on?!
She looked to her right.... Oh... Lady dokuso and cookie booker...
Her ex friends. And suddenly it all clicked.
Spider lily was always alone. A sheltered rich kid being abused. She grew up in a home that worshipped addictions. She was naive and trusted them to be her first ever friends. They humiliated her.
Well.
She'd be damned if she let that happen to her new best friend!
She stormed up to them.
"What have you done?!"
She hissed angrily
"nari!! Our old sweet puppy!"
Lady dokuso smirked, puppy. That stupid word. That's what she is to them. A dog who follows them around.
That's all they will see her as. A dog. Nothing more nothing less.
"don't be a bitch. What have you done."
she hissed out with fury. Lady dokuso tossed her hair.
"takes one to know one~I was just teaching the boy a lesson. Don't tell me you are his friend or something!"
She laughed. Spider lily clenched her knuckles just enough to draw blood, she was furious.
"he is my friend! Best friend! You lied about him! He's sweet and he listens to me! And he's quite handsome if you ask me!"
She responded angrily. Her face red from both anger and embarrassment for saying he's handsome. Why did she say that?!
"you want the charity case?"
Cookie booker raised a brow. Spider lily's eyes narrowed.
"he's not a charity case. He's a sweet person. You are just really annoying"
She responded indifferent to her handsome comment.
"don't be ridiculous nari. He wouldn't even want you. He'd probably use you and break up with you! That's what he did to me."
Lady dokuso said, sounding hurt. Spider lily didn't buy it. Her voice was laced with lies and poison. She was trying to lure spider lily in. Failing miserably.
"yeah right! Knowing you it was the opposite"
"excuse me?!"
"you heard me. You are nothing but a toxic horrible friend and girlfriend! I'm glad he broke up with you"
She snapped at her. Students were now watching it all go down. Invested.
"how fucking dare you I was your first friend."
Lady dokuso grabbed spider lily's collar aggressively. Shoving her to the locker.
Spider lily was furious. And when she was furious she was impulsive.
So she did what any impulsive person would do.
Religiously follow the act of karma.
She kicked Lady dokuso in the stomach breaking free from her grasp. And as she hissed in pain
"dokuso!"
Cookie booker tried to help her up.
spider lily quickly dug into dokusos locker and grabbed lady dokusos makeup bag.
"NO-"
she opened the bag. Spilling on it then stomping all over the makeup.
"If you want to be ugly inside. You can stay ugly outside."
Spider lily smirked. Everyone around her were stunned. No one knew the sweet pushover could be such a bitch.
"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU?! YOU WILL NEVER WIN"
lady dokuso yelled. She was furious.
Spider lily only smirked. Unbothered and satisfied.
"he's with me, I already did."
She looked behind her. Seeing shadowsan was there watching... In pure shock. Seems like he returned after he changed and watched it go down.
Shadowsan was stunned. Someone... Defended him?
In such a satisfying manner..
She approached him and smiled.
"best friends defend each other!"
She said happily, back to her nutty no braincell self. Shadowsans posture faltered a bit. Relaxing near her for the first time...
Maybe she wasn't so.... Bad...
Maybe she was trustworthy.
So he did something he never thought he'd do. Speak to her.
"Thank you..."
He muttered. Spider lilys eyes lit up like Christmas eve.
"you do talk...!"
She smiled
"now we can really be best friends"
Shadowsan almost smiled. And the 2 walked off. Leaving. Avery furious lady dokuso and cookie booker.
They'd probably get in huge trouble. But who cares?
Shadowsan realized he was wrong about her. Maybe she really wasn't so bad.
