Chapter 2: A Knight In Dull Armour
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘❦✾❦∘∙⊱⋅•-
Xander often went up to the roof top to have his lunch, as he didn’t have any friends to share a table with in the cafeteria and he didn’t want to be easily seen and targeted by bullies whose names he tried his best not to learn. The rooftop had always been a safe space for just him.
But this time, it wasn’t.
His hand hovered over the metal door handle as he heard loud voices coming from outside.
"You’re such a bitch!" A male voice yelled.
"Bitch?! What on earth gives you the right to call me that?!" this time a female voice, a female voice that sounded a lot like Iris. "Don’t fucking call me that!"
"Oh, would you prefer a slut, then?" The male voice boomed. "Isn’t that what you’re trying to be?"
"Let me go, Sam!"
Sam? Wasn’t Samuel Iris’s boyfriend of four years?
"Didn’t I tell you I didn’t want to see you come close to him ever?! I heard you were with him alone in class this morning, what were you two doing, huh? Tell me!"
"Nothing! We did nothing!" Iris yelled, her voiced cracked as she shouted, showing that she was about to cry. "We barely even talked, please let me go, Sam! You’re hurting me!"
"Don’t fucking lie to me, slut!" There was the sound of a harsh slap then a thud. Someone had fallen to the ground, Xander gripped the door handle. "I always knew you had a little something going on for that loser, tell me the truth now before I go beat his ass!"
