I think I may have created ultimate evil ~
Janine - "You're squad now, so it's time you understand exactly how the world works.
"There are cool people. And there are losers. And the only difference between them is the losers choose who they wish they could be. And when they wish that on you, there is nothing you can do.
"You're 'cool' now ...
"Damned to their envy. And that's the difference. The only difference. Losers always wish they could be somebody else, but us ? We all wish we could just be ourselves ! Nobody wins. Everybody loses. That's the world."
She looks down the hall to the anonymous kids who are just kids.
"Except all these normies, you never even see. In and out. Like it's a prison sentence and never look back. They're the ones who've got it all sorted. Pray no one ever pegs them for cool, pray they don't become just another loser by trying to be you."
"So. Have you decided on your first kill ?"
...
Lacy - "Yeah. I think I have."
Janice - "Yeah ... well that's where it gets interesting. You know nazis ?"
Lacy - "I've heard of them."
Janice
- "Hmm ... well they are what happens when somebody's got a plan. A smart loser. Scoop up
all the other losers, by their need for social acceptance. It's intrinsic. All the people no one
welcomes ... welcome them. And so socially starved they are, they will
accept Any dogma you shove into their brain pan.
"They'll nod their loser little heads, just happy to be there where people accept them. Finally. Grand plans ... but it's always for the same reasons. Wishing they were somebody else."
Lacy - "That's why you're nice to everyone ... even though I Know you hate everyone."
Janine
- "Bitch you do not Even know, how bad. But you're goddamn fucking
right that's why I, and you, will play it nice and pretty for this scholastic
fucking clown show, every single day, until our sentence is up. 'Graduation'. You are perfection.
"And then college
? Guess what. Four more years. Whether you go for a doctorate, best in your field or off to the world, suddenly, the game's replaced with harassment and Boom. Right back to the bottom of the ladder you go ... it's the world. But for now ... you've got squad. We will live for you. We will kill for you. We will die for you. And you for us."
Lacy - "Who was your first kill ?"
Janine - "Coach Patterson."
Lacy - "He committed suicide."
Janine - "So they say and I did it for reasons. They were not my own. Squad. Rethinking your first kill now, little whore ?"
Lacy - A smile, "Fair enough."
Janice
- "Most of us are graduating. The rest are incompetent. Next year you
fill my shoes and the school is yours and I hope everyone want to be you. Don't play with me pretty princess." Pulls her knife. "I'll do you right here and blow the judge ! Welcome to varsity squad." Pockets it and walks.
...
Lacy - A laugh to herself. "She thinks I'm pretty."
