STARGIRL, billy loomis

005. jealousy thrives

Dewey's brown color police car pulls in front of the school, which still is surrounded by news reporters and police officers. Most likely going to bum rush Sidney for answers and questions. The press can't leave people alone for the love of God. Once all three girls stepped out of Dewey's car, Dewey cleared his throat before speaking up his eyes not filled with sympathy more like worry. His brown eyes met with Eve's and Sidney's, "You guys will be safe here, it's school." Dewey flashes the girls a warm smile, but soon enough the news reporters and cameras face to face. Rushing the mics to Sidney's face, the poor girl can't catch a break.

Sidney shook her head and pushed through the heavy crowd, "The people have a right to know!" Blonde women yelling at Sidney, referring to the murders.

What a bitch.

Eve and Tatum were walking beside Sidney until someone caught her attention. Gale Weathers, fixing her makeup trying to cover up her face. "Guys wait up a minute," Sidney said before slowly walking up to Gale who, sitting in her new van. Eve stays in her same spot next to a tree, waiting for Sidney to be done talking to Gale but their conversation goes south and Tatum heads over there grabs Sidney, and tries to step her away from Gale.

"Just stop!" yelled Tatum as she turned around to face Gale.

The trio walked inside the school, everyone tending to stare at them. Mainly at Sidney because even last year when her mother died everyone knew about it and she always got mean comments from people and nasty stares. Tatum went towards her locker, Sidney's locker right next to hers opening it up as well. Eve yawning, she couldn't sleep last night her nightmares and anxiety were acting up.

Eve began digging through the bag looking for gum, soon Eve was met with somebody ruffling her hair. "How you doing Cabral, you seem nervous." A voice broke the silence between the girls. Stu Macher.

Eve took a piece of gum and began chewing it, looking up from her black bag and making quick eye contact with Stu before rolling her eyes. "I'm doing okay I guess, I shouldn't have come today," Eve said while her eyes roaming around the hall hopefully going to spot Billy somewhere. "Nah it's good you came today, otherwise I'd have to hear it all day from Tatum." Tatum rolled her eyes as she kept her bright red lollipop in her mouth, before taking it out to say a quick shut up to Stu.

Her body shifted to face Sidney, who was still putting her things away facing down."I want you to meet me right here after class okay Sid? And you too Eve." Tatum told the girls, although Eve couldn't bear another second in school. She just wanted to be free, with Billy. Someone in a black costume the same as the killer, but this time it was a bunch of kids playing around the loud laughs coming from people.

"Why are they doing this?" Questions Sidney not finding the situation funny at all, which it isn't but nowadays kids are idiots. Before Stu could make a joke to Sidney, Eve beat him to it "Cause they're fucking idiots," Tatum let out a snicker once the words hit the air. Sidney shook her head. "Oh lighten up Eve, you're still alive," said Stu with a big smile on his face and arm wrapping around Tatum's.

"Shut up Stu," Huffs Eve as she crosses her arms, "Hey nice battle scar too," Oh Eve just wanted to punch Stu in the face sometimes. "Hey Stu, have you seen Billy around? Is he pretty pissed?" Sidney said eyebrow-raising, Stu laughed a bit before answering back "Ever since you and Eve branded him to candy man, no his heart's broken — ow!" Tatum turned her body around to hit Stu.

"Shut up!"

Sidney began adjusting her backpack straps and taking off in the other direction. Seem like she is going to cry but Eve just wants to find Billy. She wants to talk with him. "Sidney!" yelled Tatum in defeat. "I'll see you guys later, I'm going to my locker." Said Eve not wanting to be bothered at the moment, especially after hearing Stu's comment referring to Billy being in jail.

Well, who else could it have been? And why didn't the person hurt her? Only leaving a cut on Eve and with Sidney he probably would've killed her right in front of Eve. Too much to process sometimes, it doesn't feel real at times. When Eve arrived at her locker, she began turning the combination lock and soon her locker popped open. Sighing as she grabbed her history textbook, something that caught her eye was an old picture of Billy and Eve. They were so young & happy.

A white piece of paper fell out of her locker, and Eve quickly picked it up.

Eve,
I can't begin to describe how sorry I am. Please meet me at Largo's after school, I'll be waiting for you. -Billy

She smiles gracefully and there her whole mood changes, her body filled with pure happiness. He still loves her. They're still going to be together.

"Hey,"

Eve froze in her spot, closing her locker enough to see who was behind her locker door. It wasn't Billy. It was someone else, David. He's been in love with Eve ever since grade school, always bringing her little gifts or writing notes. He was pretty upset when she ended up dating Billy, seeing his arm wrapped around her would always make him furious. "Oh hi David, how have you been?" Eve said slowly but tried her best to sound nice.

Eve never saw David in any way shape or form as a boyfriend, not a lover. Billy is her boyfriend, and she'll never stop loving him either. That's a fact.

Her protector, lover, her everything.

"How have I been? I should be asking you that," A dry chuckle leaves his lips, his hand moving to scratch the back of his head. His football leather man jacket creased a bit as he moved his arm.

"Oh you heard about that, well I'm okay. Things happen you know." Said Eve awkwardly, wanting to leave the conversation already. She wants to get the day over with and just see Billy. "Things happen? Your crazy ass boyfriend tried killing you, and that Prescott girl. Don't tell me you're going to protect him?" What the fuck. He's upset and mad. He's never liked Billy, of course, he was going to say upsetting things. Forgiveness, Eve said quickly in her mind. She wasn't going to lash out, choosing peace over anger and worry.

"Look David, you don't know the whole story. Anyways I have to get to class, see you later." No way she's going to see him later. David's arm caught Eve's wrist in a swift motion, "Hey, don't get mad 'cause your boyfriend is fucking crazy looney."

Another voice popped behind David, "Take your fucking hand off my girlfriend, or I'm going to show you how crazy I am."
