Chapter 9 - Peacemaker

Chapter 9: Peacemaker

Jenny was crying at the lunch table, emptying out her emotion memory banks. "Just..just, why? Why didn't he fight it! Why did he chose to die!" Jenny continued, still shaken by the death that still trembled her to her knees. Brad was also upset, though keeping his cool to support Jen. "It's okay Jen, it's okay. I don't know why, and you probably won't know why either. Though one thing is true Jen, we still have each other, and you'll make it through." Brad said, trying to comfort Jenny. "Okay... I'll stop. We both miss him, don't we." Jenny said, stopping her mourning cycle. "Yea, I miss him too Jenny." Though at that moment, another outcast began to walk to the table.

As Adam entered the lunch room, he would soon be confronted with a thing from the past. "Hello, Loser. Don't move." commanded Brit as he stopped walking, just to not cause trouble. "I know what you did. You killed him. I...know...you did. I can see it in your freaky scar and your loser eyes. You know you killed Prima, you know it. YOU HEAR ME, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU YOU BASTARD!" Adam kept walking, he heard this speech one time before, he didn't need to hear it again. Piercing eyes stared at him as he tried to find a table that was not crowded by onlooking haters. "Great," Adam thought as he found the one table without judging stares "Jenny's table."

"Hey guys, I see your still upset about yesterday." Adam said as he sat down at the table that Jenny and Brad were sitting at. "Go away, Adam. We don't need your hate speeches today." Jenny said as Adam began to get up. "No, it's okay man. Sit down. Brit and Tiff can be tough at times." Brad said as Adam cautiously sat back down. "Jenny, you didn't hear what happened to him before, did you? You left, right?" Brad said, trying to make peace between the two. Jenny nodded as her head was reburried in Brad's chest. "He was captured by some robots, or something and..." Brad said being intrupted by Jenny. "Oh my god, he was a slave of the Cluster, weren't you, Adam?" Adam continued. "Well, I didn't know what they were called, but I did know they enslaved me and my mom when I was 5. I was put to work right after that, and after seeing that many robots killing that many people, it gets to you. Then, when this robot named Vexus decapitated my mom, it was....." Adam stopped when a sudden pain rushed to his scar. "What, what was it?" Jenny questioned, as Adam began to reply. "Sorry, my scar hurts when I talk about that. I just lost it. I began to lose hope till I escaped a few years later." "Wow, well we all are going through some rough times, so why don't we be friends through it? Are you okay if we hang out with Adam for a while?" Brad said, continuing the peace making process. "It'll be hard, but sure, I'll do it." Adam smiled when he heard that, being given a second chance.
