Ego swigged from the bottle, retching almost immediately. The burning liquid surged down her throat, and she coughed, her pretty eyes reddening as she tried to force it out of her. Beside her, the cheerleaders laughed, a pack of jackals. Really hot, perky jackals. Ego dropped the bottle, and watched from the bench as it, and its contents, spilled acoss the linoleum gymnasium floor, scarlet, blood-like.
Bitch! The head of the team shrieked, her porcelain skin tinted with a rosey pink, her perfect blue eyes aflame. Daddy brought that back from Sigil, you little witch! I know you're new to the whole communal school thing, but have a mind for other people's things, k, sweetness? Ego felt her cheek connect, briefly, with the other girl's pedicured nails, and felt the blood burn, and her body limply falling to the wet ground. And clean it up! The doll spat, turning to go, her flock of prim, yet tipsy, drones following her, going away, to hunt more prey. Ego started to cry, tears burning her eyes, and bloody cheeks.
Hey! A voice said, causing Ego to turn, panicked. What if it was a teacher? She hadn't got a punishment yet, and her parents would kill her... What's wrong? Said a gorgeous girl coming towards her, dressed in funky lilacs and gold. Her face, a tanned visage, fell, seeing the licquor. You the new cheerleader, then? Ego nodded, her eyes wet. I'll help you get rid of this mess. Trust me, I know it sucks now, but it'll get better. She plonked down on the floor beside the weeping girl, and pulled out a wad of pads. These absorb, right? She smiled at Ego, as she started to clean up. I'm SMEE, by the by. Seeing Ego's worried face, she laid a comforting hand on her uniform emblazoned shoulder. Seriously. It'll be OK. :smallsmile:
