“Even so, it’s not really done here. But it’s your first day so I’ll let this slide and—”

“What about him?” I demand hotly, throwing an arm out to point at Rat and failing to keep my temper in check.

This time the smile definitely falters. “Sorry?”

“I said, what about him? Rat-boy? You never introduced him by the way. What’s his real name? Oh, whatever. I don’t really care, I just want to know what his punishment is going to be.” I fold my arms over my chest and scowl.

“His name is Rat. Just Rat. And what do you mean byhispunishment? Why would he be punished when you attacked him? I think his finger is broken. Maybe his nose too.”

“Oh it definitely is,” I tell her with a sincere smile. “They both are. And he should be punished because I would have thought that in a place like this, consent would be taken very seriously.”

“It is.” Her face appears frozen now. Stricken. But I can read the confusion in her furrowed brow, and the glimmer of fear in her eyes.

“Because I was just assaulted, without my permission, and I think thatthatshould be dealt with.”

“Isn’t all assault carried out without permission?” A dainty little crease appears on her brow as she cocks her head to the side, considering my argument. I really want to shake this dippy woman.

Then take a nail gun to her stupid, preppy face.

Violence overload? Maybe. Fucking worth it? Fuck yes.

I wink at her. “Not in the bedroom. When you go home tonight, google consensual non-consent. You’re welcome.” Another sickly smile levelled her way while I wait to see how she’ll digestthat.

“Umm.”

I leave her flabbergasted and staring at me until Rat decides to flex his fingers and starts whining again. She immediately turns her attention back to him with a sigh. There’s blood all over the floor and she’s careful not to step in it. Wouldn’t it be a shame if she slipped and broke something?

“Oh Rat, she’s right. You’ll have to be punished for this, but first we better get you to the hospital wing. Kayla, do you think you can catch up with the others? The canteen is just along this corridor, you can’t really miss it if you follow your nose.”

Before I can reply, she’s ushering Rat along the corridor in the opposite direction to the one we were heading in. Rat shoots me a filthy glare as he goes. I grin at him and wiggle my fingers in a jauntypreppysort of wave.

Be seeing ya, grease monkey.
