•Chapter 17 - Exactly•
•Kai•
I should say something. Just to warn her. I can't see that again. It's going to make me do things, more drastic things than last time. Watching her with him... It almost killed me the first time - not to mention the fact that I almost killed him... And her...
"Ammi" I stopped her suddenly, my Nike high tops scuffing the floor of the DWMA school grounds. My hand was at her forearm, gripping her a little too tight. I realised it was unneeded, and loosened my grip, my hand sliding down her arm for her to willingly take my hand.
"Yeah?" She smiled warmly, taking half a step closer to me.
"Just..." I began, but struggled to finish. She's gonna be mad. She still doesn't know I beat him up.
"Don't get mad... But... You know that boy... The one you... Kissed" I had to swallow back the rage hearing that word. She looked guilty as hell already. I think that was a good thing.
"Yeah.. Jake" she admitted, staring down at the Tarmac floor.
"I uh... I beat him up yesterday". Seemed like we both had things to admit to.
"What?" She frowned, looking at me disgustedly.
Ok. That's not alright.
"Don't fucking look at me like that, I only did it because you were texting him telling him he was sexy and shit" I spat at her, anger seeping through my tone as I yanked her arm.
"I should be giving you that look. You pretty much cheated on me" I snapped. It was hard to class as cheating because we weren't together at the time. We'd kissed once. Still. She's mine. She belongs to me. Whether she likes it or not.
"I was angry with you... You didn't come and see me.. Not even once" she seemed sad by this. I didn't see how much it had affected her emotions. I would have apologised, but it wasn't in my nature.
"You're lucky. I would've beat the crap outta you some more".
That was more in my nature. Her shoulders hunched in fear and she turned her head away from me.
Ugh. That's not what I was going for. I can't help it though. The words just come out of my mouth. Ah well too late now.
"Just stay away from him, ok?" I sighed, making the original point of the conversation clear.
"But he's my friend" she furrowed her brow, looking hurt by my requirements.
"I know. But I can't deal with that right now. He is the biggest influence on me and my issues, so stay away from him" I told her firmly, but not harshly.
"Do you understand?".
She looked disappointed, yet obliging. If she wants me to stop hitting her for good, he needs to go, at least for a while. Until Ammi is properly mine.
"Yes Kai" she said emotionlessly.
"Good, now come on, we're gonna be late" I sighed, pulling her into the school building.
I guess you could say school was a little bit better with Ammi there. She hated my guts at the moment, demanding she stay away from her only other friend beside me. I don't like it when she has friends. That means she's distracted, and I don't get enough attention from her. I need it. Whether she loves me or hates me, I absorb the strong emotions she has.
We sat in Biology, Dr. Stein dissecting what once probably looked like a llama. Now it just looked like a crimson red, slippery, chunky mess on a table. I could see Ammi literally going green as he picked through the contents of the eyeball and explained it to the unwilling class. Two people had already been physically sick.
I took Ammi's hand underneath the desk and held it tight, trying to get back on her good side by giving her a warm, smouldering smile. She looked at me briefly, and seemed to just about tolerate the hand holding, only because she thought I'd kick her head in if she rejected me. Well, she wasn't entirely wrong. Maybe I wouldn't be as harsh as that. I'm getting better, honest. I haven't tried to kill anybody in... A day. I'll admit, if the teachers hadn't have stopped me, I'd of killed Jake. Slowly, painfully.
I shook myself from the thoughts, realising I was missing the dissection. I think I was the only one who actually enjoyed biology. I love dissecting things. Whether that makes me even more demented I don't know, it just appeals to me. Whenever Dr. Stein asks for assistants, I am literally the only one putting my hand up. As usual, weapons and Miesters are encouraged to do all activities together, so I drag an unwilling Ammi along with me every time.
"Anybody want to assist me as I dissect the brain?" Dr. Stein asked, as if on queue.
I wanted to. Really bad. But Ammi would hate me even more. I'm trying to get on her good side.
Stein and the rest of the class stared at me in pure shock.
"Kai, you don't want to dissect this particular creature?" Dr. Stein asked with a furrowed brow. The rest of the class seemed truly panicked by my change of heart. It wasn't normal.
"No Doctor" I lied through my teeth. I'd give up anything for Ammi, even a llama brain. It looked so damn cool.
"Why not?" He continued to ask.
"I don't want to put my Miester through that" I said truthfully. I glanced at Ammi and saw her giving a barely noticeable look of confusion and shake of the head. Her face was saying: "what are you doing?!?" But her lips spoke nothing.
"You've never shown any concern over your Miester before" Stein seemed as confused as everyone else. I was the only one there seeing the sense of my actions.
I chuckled softly. He'd just said it.
"Exactly".
I could swear I saw Ammi smile.
