Boom. Just like that, the lights went out. And suddenly, Madi couldn't see a reason for going down there, because if they were going to get nailed with the help of the bright fluorescent lights of the gym, they were sure as shit going to get destroyed in the dark. So, rather than try to convince Kenz that dodgeball was worth playing, she simply took a seat next to her.

"Well, I give up. It's gone dark so quite frankly, this is all a big waste of time. FiFi, Anna, take a seat, we're going to talk some shit, because if we're being honest, it's been a long day and it's not even close to over."

And just like that, the cold attitude that had defined Madi's day so far was gone. These girls didn't care who she was or who she had been. Right now they couldn't even see her. She was inspired by Kenzi's effortless nonchalance towards the world as a whole, the calm attitude she took just sitting up in her bleachers as if this school belonged to her. It was Kenzi's attitude that got her thinking, that no matter what she did today, tomorrow, or all year, Lucas would still be gone, and she'd still be the girl who's brother died. She couldn't do anything to change that. What she could do though, was make it manageable. And if she'd learned anything since Lucas' death, it's that friends made things manageable. Desi had taught her that. I should really thank her for that one

"Alright I'll start us off, since I've initiated this shit talking session. I hate school. I really do. It's pointless, it's stupid and I hate it. Now, I will note that it's a plus that there are a number of cute boys to admire. But no boy is worth the suffering of public education, and I am very much for leading a strike by the students. That said, I really hate underclassmen too. Not all of them, just the creepy ones that stare at me like I'm a fucking zoo animal. I mean, yeah, my fucking brother died, but there is no need to watch me like a hawk. It is strange and I don't appreciate it."

Madi let out an exasperated sigh. She felt loads better getting that off her chest, as if all that pent up emotion had been blocking her lungs and now she could finally breathe. She closed her eyes and leaned back until she was held up by the row of bleachers behind her. "Okay, someone else go now so I don't feel weird."
