Uncomfortable, you merely sit back, letting the firm wood support you in this, as she said, most perilous time. What a nice 'student council president', ordering her subordinates to bully another student into leaving the group... At the thought your heart sinks into its own dark pit of a bunker. You were the bullied kid. You know you remember it - the bullies laughing and mocking you from afar for something you couldn't control. Yes, you were mousy, nerdy, and a little too feminine for a boy, but that's not grounds for all this punishment. Should you now punish Angelina, now your friend... Yes, a strategic one, but one nonetheless, for being who she is?
Hesitantly, you look at equally silent and dismayed Alex. Where previously he fiddled with his knife tiredly, now his arms rests firmly on the desk as he stares a thousand mile stare into the library's alley behind you. At least he seems uncomfortable with bulling innocents as well... Comforting.
Jaq' now chirpy voice shakes you up again. "It must feel terrible to know you were lied to, Aki, but you have to let that girl go. You should have listened to me when I informed you to ignore her. But now, you should know better. She won't divide us, right, Aki? Nobody will." As she says, a *creak* of the wooden floor follows as her chair is pushed back. Rising up, she genially proffers her slim hand across the large table.
At the crossroads, you keep sitting still, and sigh... Guess you really won't leave this place unscratched. The question is: will your ambitions burry your ideals, or just perhaps, your ideals will burry your ambitions; just who will you be at the end of this terrible road? Just what should you do? Can Jaq really be the way out?
