But I mean . . . come on. Get the fuck out of here,literally.

I have so many unanswered questions.

One, why'd he take the vitamins?

Two, why were they gummies?

Three, did they taste good?

And four, were they the child or adult variety?

Wait, also, did he purge them after?

I mean, really, what exactly was his thought process?

Still, he's pretty popular with the thinspo folks around here, though it probably helps that he looks like if a young Brad Pitt had a skinny clone made of himself. Still, I don't particularly like it when he looks at my Firefly, especially like that.

She's mine, fucker.

All mine.

I catch eyes with the blond Lothario and give him a look that makes his eyes nearly pop out of his head as he hurries to walk a little faster.

I have set thousands of things on fire.

Books.

Buildings.

Schools.

Students.

He knows it. They all do around here, learning eventually one way or the other, and the look I throw him confirms that I will most definitely set him on fire too.

Hell, it might actually be nice to throw a guy in the mix.

That would be new.

I wonder if they smell the same.

I watch as my Firefly darts around a guard, who's on his radio and calling for backup. I don't know why he's calling for backup. Surprisingly, I don't find that I don't care why either. Normally, I'd love the opportunity to drown out the noise, but whatever shitstorm is brewing can wait.

I need to know why she's crying, and then I want to hurt whoever hurt her.

Also . . . new.

I do care about my sudden inclination to protect her.

I don't protect anyone.

I smoke. I fuck. I ignite things and people.

I don't protect. Not ever.

So, what the hell is happening to me? What is shedoingto me?

A minute later, I watch as best friends and occasional lovers—I think their names are Dean and Zane—throw down in the hall. They are big bodybuilder types who move like they skipped about a hundred too many leg days. Dean must be pissed Zane made him be the bottom last night because he shoves Zane with both hands. It's a brutal shove, downright violent and so hard the dude's head must feel like his brains just got scrambled.
