Brought down by fucking Ashley Squared—a girl you wouldn’t screw twice just so you wouldn’t have to listen to her yapping in your ear again. It would’ve been funny if it weren’t so pathetic.

You know how these things go: she told her mom, who told John Connelly, who notified The Academy forthwith. Two weeks later I was caught. A tag from Team Ranger got me in the shoulder on the way to the living room, with a turkey sandwich in one hand and a beer in the other. Ffffffft—I went down. Just like that. The last thing I saw was my three-legged dog getting boot-kicked in the belly while trying to fight him off. Bastards. I never even got to leave a note for Beth Ann.

Next thing I knew, I was lying cuffed and stuffed on the hard, cold floor of a holding cell. With colder water being thrown in my face. After being doused with Academy love for about five minutes, I was yanked up—still restrained like a mass murder—and forced to march (stumble really) through the center of this fine institution in chains. I blinked from the sudden onslaught of sunlight and eyes. Cadets were lining up on both sides of the sidewalk to stare at me like I was a freaking parade float.

I was on display—a cautionary tale to all those impressionable CITs. Everything was in slow-mo. The drugs still working through my veins like sludge. Must explain the hallucination I saw in the distance: a brown-blue frantic blur of female. It looked like her, in the form of vampire mist. She was running so fast towards me. The image was so vivid I even tried to open my arms, like we were still lovers in some vacation beach commercial, before I remembered we weren’t. And the metal cutting into my wrists reminded me of why I couldn’t open my arms. And then something else was running. Towards her. A freight train. I watched, helpless, as it T-boned her from the side and picked her up, flailing legs and all, and hauled her around the corner, where she slid down out of sight.

Nobody else witnessed this attack. Everyone else was staring at me, like I was a mirage, while I was staring at my mirage.
