THE SCAR THAT NEVER BLED

| DOUCHEBAGS, RIGHT? |

November 3rd 1977

It was a few days after I told Robin all about Louise. I didn't hear much about Robin after that. I was walking to school minding my business until I saw a person run by me like the flash. I decided to follow them being the curious soul that I am. By the time I got there. Robin was beating the holy hell out of somebody. I assumed that it was Matty, buzz or some other asshole in our school but no...it was Louise

Louise had pale grey upturned eyes,slim face features,brown haired, half mullet that parted in the middle and what was slightly fluffed. He had a sight build and was a bit shorter than Robin, Robin was 5'5

Robin had him against a fence, punching his face over and over again. Robin had some red scratches on his left cheek that wore bleeding, I was watching this from the side so I saw some of his face.

Robin let him go and he immediately ran off the scene,went across the road to meet his company.Robin also walked off the scene. I watched his fists as he watched by, there was so much blood on them it was dripping

I walked into the bathroom,the Bathroom that Robin walked into, and I didn't even care if I wasn't a boy I had to talk to Robin. He turned to me and chuckled

"I think you're in the wrong bathroom" he said

"Oh don't you 'your in the wrong bathroom me' "you know why I'm here"

"Uh I don't,actually" Robin said

"Yeah you do..why did you stick up for me?"

Robin let down his hands and sighed, he looked straight up into the mirror

"Because their douchebags, right? they wouldn't be treating you like this. You did jack shit to them!"

I jumped at his outburst "well. Thank you. I appreciate it"

"It's whatever.. He was giving up the minute I had him against that fence anyway" he said as we both laughed

"You best get out of here now, before a teacher or a snitch catches you" Robin says

"No, I couldn't leave you like this. Not after I'm responsible for you fighting him

"Mar-

"No seriously.let me help you" I said giving him a sincere look

After a few seconds he finally gave in "alright fine"

I walked towards him, since his hand was already rinsed from the blood I got some paper towels from the dispenser and patted it dry. Robin hissed from the pain.i looked up at him and assured him it's okay

"I know, it's just it hurts a bit"

"Hey, aren't you scared to fight? , well not like that, but scared off the out come of that fight after wards?"

"Not only if I have a good reason for it" Robin explained "plus I only whale on them a bit when I do"

"That's smart" I said with a smile

"I only fight if I have to really" Robin adds

I wrapped his hand up with more paper towel then realized I don't have tape

"Here", Robin says, I saw in his hand he had a tape roll

"Where'd you get this?"

"Borrowed it from the geography teacher. I'm pretty sure she would miss it"

I laughed, beginning to wrap the tape over the paper towel.

"There"

Robin smiled as he looked down at the "bandage' I did around his hand,I could tell he was impressed

"Thanks.My mom's a nurse,so she taught me all this medical stuff"

Robin looked up at me "come on,let's get to class"

Meanwhile in science class I watched the teacher take the incredibly boring lecture about Isaac Newton . I wanted to be anyway but here right now, I was watching the clock ticking and ticking . I got awoken from the teacher speaking up

"Uh pick a partner.remember this will be the person you will be with for the rest of the semester"

Everyone immediately got up from the chair and started to make their way over to their friends desks. Meanwhile I felt like a penguin on ice. I looked around. No one was in my lane of view. I wasn't the type to go up to people like that.

"You need a partner?" I turned around and saw a girl standing there, she was dark skinned, slim figured, light make-up. Her hairstyle was a afro, she wore the Smiths band shirt with a black leather jacket over it with some necklaces. Dark maroon flared jeans and a pair of brown boots.

"No, I mean y-yeah I don't have a partner" I awkwardly said as we both sat down

"I'm Bella, Bella Thorn"

She smiles and put her hand up for me to shake it

"Marliyn Hopper" I shook her hand and smiled back
