Only You- (Robin Arellano x you)

Chapter 14- Truce?

Tuesday,September 29th 1976

I yanked the front door open and sprinted up the stairs, "HEY WHATS WRONG? EL?" I heard Josh yell up the stairs after me. I slammed my door shut and collapsed onto my bed, grabbing my pillow.

"FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK" I screamed into it. What the fuck was his issue? Why did he have to be such a dick around his other 'friends'? Why couldn't he just stay the same? Why was he so sweet and then turns into this fucking bully?

*Knock*

"Go away" I said in a muffled voice in my pillow.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Ugghhhh what do you WANT?" I said leaning to get up. Josh opened the door slowly. "Hey, you seem a bit... I'm going to say upset". He said turning around to close the door, I had my head buried in my pillow. "Well aren't you a fucking genius." I said sniffing and lifting my head again, Josh was leaning against the door, arms folded "Oi no need to be rude, I'm trying to help here." He said walking over and crouching beside the bed. "El, come on, whats wrong. I won't tell anyone I swear." He said tilting his head. I sat up my mascara smudged. I'd managed not to cry until I'd got home, but it was pretty pathetic of me to be honest.

"Theres... theres this boy. He's been a nightmare ever since we came here, and... its like this year hes tried to change, but he is only sweet if we're alone, if ever, or if we're with the group, but he hangs around these kids who-ugh- there a bunch of fucking dicks and then he turns back to his old self around them." I said angrily. "So what happened today..." Josh trailed off. I sighed frusratingly. "The fucking bastard shoved me to the ground in front of the whole caferteria, so I ruined my favourite shirt and I have bruised fucking knees now. Its was humiliating, and then all he did was laugh, laugh! and he got high fived by one of those idiots he calls friends." I finished.

"Oh El, why hadn't you told me before this?" He asked. "Because, I've been handling it." I said. "Yeah" He scoffed. "Clearly. Hey do you want me to go beat up the little bastard cause I'll do it. He won't even know it was me, I'll get sam, marcus and colby to come help we'll get balaclavas and wear all black." He said laughing. I giggled and sniffed. He sat on my bed and hugged me. "Okay well, I'm only a call away if you ever change your mind." He said. "Its okay, I'm handling it." I said smiling. "Shitting hell that kid is in for a ride." Josh said. "Why'd you say that?" I said, "Because your doing your evil smile, you always used to do it when we were kids, always ended badly too." He said chuckling and getting up from the bed to walk over to the door and opening it.

"How does chinese take out sound, I'm not bothered to cook tonight" He asked peeping his head round the doorway again. "Sounds good" I said. "Celebration of our last few days of freedom before Ma and Frank get back eh." He said chuckling. True to that.

I decided I couldn't be asked to make a full blown revenge plan, so I decided to try and make him ...uncomfortable instead. I think thats worse anyway. I wore low rise flare jeans and a pink baby tee that exposed my naval peircing and some cleavage. And yes I did think about how anti-femenist this was, by trying to make a guy 'uncomfortable' deliberatly per say, by the amount of skin that was exposed,but it felt right because it was my sweet bit of revenge. And you know it might not work but I was 90% sure it would, hormonal teenage boy what can I say, I had two brothers one of which still gets a boner if he even sees another girls ankles for goodness sake, I figure most boys my age are worse, I havent asked I'm just going to experiment.

I left my hair down in its natural curls, to be honest it actually looked really good, the curls going up to my shoulders. Now, straightened my hair reaches just below my waist,but shrinkedge is irritating and doesnt let my hair go past my shoulders. For once they looked really good, and I started applying mascara, concealer and my lipgloss. I put in hoop earings, and my necklace and a couple of rings.
