She deliberately ignored it.
"And, I'm not creepy or spooky!" the puppet huffed. "Is what she wanted to say next."
"At least I wasn't called creepy this time..." the puppet mumbled, still lying, flopped, on the floor.
"So, uh...Isla, was it? Yeah, so what are we supposed to do here? I've already got detention so I'll have to rule out rule-breaking for the day....uh...."
"Kill Isla," the puppet grumbled. Isla kicked the puppet and it flew across the room, smacking into the wall.
"And stay down," she snapped at it.
It grumbled.
"Fine. I'm sorry I asked. Go and do...whatever you people do. I'll go and...I dunno..create a tornado in someone's dorm or something."
He sighed, annoyed.
"What is it with you people and grumpiness sometimes? Honestly, all of you are party-poopers..." he muttered to himself.
"I'm sorry for being rude, Isla."
He sighed again.
And drummed his fingers on the floor.
And started to tap his foot.
He leapt up in anger.
"How can any of you sit so still! It's just...absurd!"
"Calm down there Isla. Jeez...first off, no need to be so rude. I've got ADHD and dyslexia, so...just stop, okay? I can't sit still, it's physically impossible for me to do that. And no, I wouldn't want you to break my bones, I love them very much."
He stood up, scowling.
"I can't say I'm glad I met you Isla. Because I'm not."
"Have fun with life, jerk. I hope everyone treats you like you expect them to."
Seara suddenly came around the corner, a lampshade on top of their head, screaming something about their armour not being in the right corner.
"Oddly specific," the puppet commented.
"You didn't shut up," Isla replied coldly. "So, what, you're allowed to speak your mind, but if I do that, then suddenly I need to shut my trap?" She laughed.
"Oh, it was her," Seara said to the puppet.
"Yes."
Seara and the puppet were hugging.
"I've never met someone who understood me so well," the puppet sniffed.
"I've never met anyone who's so callous towards the misery of humans," Seara whispered.
"We should hang out sometime."
"I one-hundred percent agree. Maybe we could get a coffee or something...?"
"Puppet. Here. Now," Isla commanded.
"Aww, you gotta go?"
"Seems like it. Sorry, Seara, you seem like a cool person, but I gotta go-"
"Don't worry, I understand. We can chat later, when she calms down."
"I'm never calming down," Isla spat, then paused. The puppet chuckled. "Shut up. Let's go, before I decide to kill every member of this idiot brigade."
The puppet laughed again, hopping into Isla's open pack, which lay on the floor. Isla scooped it up.
"See you later, Se!" The puppet waved to them.
"See you later, puppet!"
Isla stomped off, the words she'd spoken reflected in her brain. Her teeth grit together. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you, I hate-
Water dripped down her cheeks. Isla froze, midstep. Hate? Or something else?
She closed her eyes, vowing not to let more escape as she now tore for her room.
The mantra continued in her mind.
Hate, hate hate hate hate... hate... hate...
But one word was hidden underneath each of them. Hidden under a veneer of a stronger emotion.
Regret.
