The sound of her face breaking as my fist landed on her jaw echoed and the Verses who crowded around to witness the beat down let out a painful, "Ooh!" Her body twirled in mid air before slamming down on the concrete. Silence came after. Everyone's eyes were watching if that bitch of a Bocal to get back up. When she didn't, Verses cheered wildly. Rodney rolled over to me, grabbed my hand and forced it in the air.
"And the winner is!" he was ready to announce proudly.
"Marley!" A heavy scream could be heard directly behind us.
"Oh shit!" I glanced over my shoulder to see Logan, The Head of The Last Moral Principle.
His eyebrows were furrowed, his mouth was foaming and if he could, he would've been steaming from the ears.
"Run!" Rodney screamed. The crowd of Verses and I, scattered like fleas.
"Marley Crishawn O'Hara don't you run from me!" Logan roared and I could hear him turning to his Lion form.
I gulped, making a hard left around the building. I was headed for the tall electrified fence that stood six feet tall around The Last. It was implemented for Verses like myself who always ditched and was on the verge of getting into the lower class of life, an Illit. Someone who dropped out of The Last and became nothing. Although many Verses fear it, I do not fear anything. I inhaled, my eyes focused on the fence fast approaching me. Lucky for me, I could scale this fence with ease. Before my body hit the fence, I leaped high into the air, barely even making it onto the other side.
I landed hard on the grass area that was behind The Last. Logan roared angrily, standing right by the gate. I knew what that roar meant. He threatens me with it every now and then whenever he sees me within The Last. Although he seems cruel and strict, I sometimes think of him as a Father figure. Someone I never had in life. He exhaled deeply and regrettable turned around and walked away from me.
"Duces Father." I hold up two fingers before rolling over on my back.
The only reason why I'm ditching is because I don't want to be with the Moral Principle again for the tenth time this week. I also want to smoke. Smoking is nice and it helps calm me down after a fight. Suddenly my phone began to ring and I dug it out from my back pocket.
"What?" I answered it.
"Hahahah Ma!" Rodney panted, "Where the hell are ya?"
"I'm in the back of The Last, beside the river that only flows east. Why?" I questioned.
"I knew you could get outta that." He exhaled, "Logan is going to find me soon. I can tell he's tracking my scent."
"Ha-ha shoulda ran better." I laughed.
"Look who's talkin'? You probably just leaped over the gate like a coward."
"The fuck you say?" I growled.
"Anyway, I didnt ring your stupid ass up to fight with you. I just saw Bunny." He mentioned.
I sat up, "Bunnio? What did she want?"
"She didn't look to good. Her eyes were puffy as if she'd been crying all night. Talk to- Oh shit he's here! Ahhhhh!" He screamed and the phone went dead.
"Pfft haha that fuckin Efta got caught!" I laughed, lifting up from the grass and onto my feet, "Anyway time to find Bunny and something to help my crave!"
