Through transparisteel

I’m so bored I’d love to eat my own leg.

Okay, this time, I had a real reason for being grounded.

After all, I did get into a fight with Vereg. Funny thing is, I’m not afraid of him anymore. I’m pretty sure I could eat two of him for breakfast.

It happened really fast too and I don’t remember much about it.

During PE, Kyle, Will and I were trying to play and Vereg came along. He said something, I can’t remember what now. All I know is that I felt as if a light had come on in my head and the next thing I knew, I was on the ground, beating the living crap out of him.

Suspension was not pronouced because Grandma spoke to the principal…

But boy… she gave me a talking to.

My parents are freaked out.
My grandmother is freaked out.
Uncle Pter is freaked out.

…
William is freaked out.

What have I done?

It’s alright for some people to go and do things but I can’t do anything without my entire family falling upon me like the plague. Am I supposed to sit out the rest of my life because it’s not safe?

So it was probably wrong of me to go and twist Maka’s mind to make her take her clothes off during assembly but how the hell did the parental units find out about it?

Grandma gave me so much grief over this it’s not funny.

But what was the need for grounding me for a month? It’s not like I’m not going to go to school or anything.

It’s been over a month since the Death Star was destroyed and we’d been without news. The Fleet reports are unreliable at best. No one knows anything for sure, although the Emperor and Darth Vader’s deaths are certain. He managed to call the garrison. They’re unable to return for some time, as his ship is extremely damaged but essentially, he is alive. Will is really relieved. I wouldn’t exactly say happy because I don’t think he is that happy.

Rumours have it that he’ll be docked in Corellia for well over a standard month getting his ship repaired, so there might be some time where Will is unavailable. I don’t know about all that though, because Dad doesn’t want me to have too much information.

Will has gone to see his father and he is distinctly unhappy. Can you imagine seeing your father almost die on the Galactic News? No, I can’t either.

…because I head-butted Maka Ele after practice. Her main claim to fame is being Vereg’s girlfriend, so I can see why she likes me so much. Not. She was with the rest of the pep squad, hanging around outside the boy locker room when I came out of the girl’s. I went straight to my school locker to get my books but she saw me. She came up to me and started picking fun at my clothing and the fact that she’s never seen me in a dress. Fancy her thinking she’s all that because her dad works as one of the Dictat’s assistant.
“I think you’re a freak, Lily” she said. “Why else would you be playing shockball? It’s unnatural.”
I tried not to reply. Then she yammered on a little more about shockball.
“So when are you and the blind freak leaving? I hear his father is dead, so he won’t be allowed to continue his education here. It would be a good idea if you did too.”
The next thing I heard was the crack of bone and felt a bit of pain in my head. I guess someone must have done something because the next thing I remember is Will locking my arms back and dragging me off her.
Coach came out of his office and we were both sent to the Infirmary. Then after that, the principal called me to his office and banged on about anger management and I told him where to go.

He suspended me right there and then. Will was waiting for me outside of the office when I came out. Maka was fine, standing in front of the school smoking, as usual. Because she felt she’d won, she pointed at me and laughed, whispering to her friends. For some reason, I felt extremely angry and clenched my fist. Maka started coughing and clawing at her throat. Distinctly enough, I heard Will yelling at me to stop but for some reason, no one else did.

On the way home, Will lectured me about my anger. I didn’t want to tell him why I’d hit Maka in the first place but it was just easier to tell him why rather than letting him bang on about it. He was angry at me but he said I should be more careful about my anger and that in Coruscant, it can be a tool used by those who want to take advantage of you.
I know all this. But I’m never going to be important enough that it matters.

I don’t know why but she won’t let me out of the house at the moment. She says it is too dangerous and there may be people looking for me. I wonder what could possibly scare even the wises of CorSec agents into not letting their kids out. I mean, apart from a Sith Lord coming after me, I don’t see what could possibly be so scary.

She gave me this bracelet to wear that she says will protect me. It’s quite pretty and it has a tiny little stone with a swirling cloud in it. I think it’s a holographic stone of some kind but I can’t find the activator.
