Shadows In Durango

Chapter 4

*****Sofia's POV*****

Physical Ed wasn't too bad, at least not today, since the coach said that I could observe the lesson with it being my first day and not being prepared for my timetable with a change of clothes...

Little does he know that I probably won't ever have a change of clothes with me for the foreseeable. His kindness won't last very long when he realises that it isn't just a case of me not being prepared, I genuinely didn't have any clothes fit for taking part, but that was a problem for another day.

The girls in the class seemed rather brutal to say the least, as they whispered and stared over at me the entire lesson, often giggling and pointing occasionally without shame. The guys in my class were also immature as they pushed and shoved one another half of the time - before wolf whistling at the girls when they ran around in their tiny short and crop top sets.

I hate the school environment, but I refused to miss out on an education. How else will I get a decent job and a better life for myself?

I never used to hate it though, when I was once one of the 'normal' kids with friends and nice things... but I couldn't hold on to the memories of my past, for it would only kill my soul even more.

It was now lunch, as I stood alone in the line with my tray - eyeing up the options to decide what Vincent would like since I had been roped in to becoming his personal food supplier.

I place a cold tuna roll on the tray for myself, along with grabbing two chocolate bars - one for Vincent and another for me. The bottled water was free, and so I took one for myself, knowing that I could fill it up throughout the day too but decided on a can of Cola for Vincent in case the water would disappoint or bore him.

Maybe he would like fries for lunch? I didn't want to get any toppings either in case he didn't like something that I chose...

I was almost angry at myself for caring so much, but I figured that if I managed to do a good job today, that he might let me off the hook sooner rather than later with our deal.
