School's Out- A Randall Pink Floyd Story

I Hope It Was Worth It

TW: SA

I grabbed the jersey and ran outside. The girls were talking and giggling but stopped when I marched over to them and threw the jersey at Jodi.

"Jodi, explain this right now," I said, "And don't make up some bullshit lie, because I know you, and I know when you're lying."

Shavonne, Darla, and Kaye were confused until they saw Benny's last name on the back. They all quickly looked shocked and horrified.

"Cammy," Jodi said, "Cammy, I can explain. I swear to god, it's not what you think. I know this looks bad, but I never tried to hurt you in any way, you're my best friend-

"For fuck's sake. Just say that you fucked my boyfriend!"

Jodi was a stuttering mess, and I couldn't make up an alibi for her life.

"Please, I don't know how it happened," she said, "I swear, I've been trying to tell you, I just couldn't-

"Oh, you skank!"

She bolted for the house, ran after her, and so did the rest of the girls. We ran down the hall, and Jodi almost made it to her room before I jumped and tackled her to the ground. I even got in a few punches and hits before Shavonne pulled me off her. 

I pushed my long bangs out of my eyes before looking down at Jodi, who slowly got up. 

"I hope it was worth it, Jodi," I said, "Because I will never call you my friend again. Never."

The girls followed me out the door, but not before I said one last thing, "And I'm keeping your fucking bikini."

With the jersey in my hand, I marched over to the car and turned it on.

"Where are you going?" Kaye said.

"Benny's, where else would I go?"

"But what about the pool?" Darla said, making Shavonne elbow her. 

"You guys go," I said, backing out of the driveway, "Maybe I'll meet you there, maybe I won't."

As I drove to Benny's, I had this blind, manic rage inside of me that I'd never had before. The drive from Benny's to Jodi's was about six minutes, but I made it in a little less than three minutes.

I entered, opened the door, and saw Benny's father in the kitchen. 

"Oh, it's you."

"Where is he?!" I said, clenching my fists.

"Bedroom," he said before taking in how mad I was, "You find out you're pregnant? Because if you are, you're putting that kid up for adoption. Don't want my son being tied down by your kid."

"No, pretty far from it," I said, storming up the stairs and muttering under my breath, "Asshole."

I reached Benny's room, swung the door open, and threw his jersey at him, catching him off guard. 

"Congratulations, jackass," I said, "You just lost yourself a girlfriend today."

Benny got up and walked over to me, "Cammy, come on, I thought we were over this-

"No, no!" I yelled, pointing my finger at him, "Don't you dare give me that. Tell the truth."

Benny put his hands on his head, "So, what? I fucked your best friend!"

"So, what?" I said, "So, what? What if I fucked Pink or Don?"

"It's different!"

I scoffed and laughed before looking back up at him, "Yea, yea, you're crazy. We're done. End of discussion."

I tried to walk out, but Benny grabbed my arm and pinned me against the wall, putting my hands above my head. 

"You're mine," he whispered in my ear, "You will always be mine."

As he kissed me, I tried to get out of his grip, but I couldn't. His free hand moved from my breast to my shorts, slowly unzipping them and moving past my bikini bottoms. 

I might not have been able to use my arms, but I could use my legs to my advantage, and I kicked him in the groin as hard as I could and ran out of the room and downstairs like my life depended on it. Well, it kinda did.

Without thinking twice, I drove to the pool, where I knew I was safe and with people who cared.
