"Alright guys, I'm coming in." I can see Marcus leaning against the sink while Billy and Lex are puking their guts out.
"You dandies need me to hold up your hair? Marcus annoyingly states.
"Why are you keeping it down?" Billy says immediately cuts him off.
"How are you keeping it down, bloody hell it's a fucking rat," Lex says while hovering over the toilet.
"It's not my first rat stew, I thought you guys would be used to this shit now." Marcus takes out a cigarette to smoke.
"I feel it's wee bones in my belly, someone please perform emergency surgery!" Lex whines in fear while holding his stomach.
"The horror... The horror." Billy says while out of breath.
"Today we riot! No option! Full-out class war! We cannot let them get away with this, who knows next time we could be eating cat balls." They all start to psychotic laugh.
I also get up to check up on them and once I'm outside of the bathroom, I make myself known that I'm coming in.
"Why are you here?" Marcus asks me, he's mad and I don't blame him.
"Because I saw what happened, I was checking up on you guys to see if you were okay-"
"Yeah? That's why you were laughing? C'mon Esmerelda don't be like the rest of them, did you know?"
"You have got to be kidding me. Either way, if I had known I still wouldn't say shit because snitches get stitches."
"You know you did look real ashamed at the fact that I waved to you but then when Xavier asks you something suddenly your mouth works?" Marcus shakes his head in response, clearly devastated by my actions. Billy and Lex look at each like it's time they leave, there we are both of us alone here.
"That's not fair, you know how this place works Marcus, I'm not ashamed of you. If that's what your insinuating, how dare you even ask me that? If I believed in classism then I would have never talked to you, you know Marcus that does hurt coming from you, not cool."
I storm out of the boys' bathroom and make my way to my room, and throw my bag on my bed. As I'm trying to finish up some homework, Lex is delivering some packages. He throws it on my floor and I scoff.
"It says fragile for a reason idiot! Hopefully, it's the jewelry box I ordered." I opened it to see blue dye splattered on my face, the whole hallway is filled with screams from angry teens.
"You're not getting away with this!" Brandy shouts at the top of her lungs. We are all in the hallways standing there covered in dye with confusion and anger on our faces.
I go to the bathroom and see several girls trying to get the dye off them. I roughly wipe my face with water and a paper towel, and I end up with a big red mark on my cheek as if I have a rash.
I leave the bathroom and try to cover my cheek with my hand and bump into someone.
"Out of my way dork." I try to rush past him but the guy picks up my face to get a good look at my face.
"Que estás escondiendo ahí? Que un mosquito te pico?" He turns my face to the side and he makes a disgusted face then laughs. Marcus walks past me and I walk away from Xavier to confront him, I grab Marcus by his shoulder to turn him around to face me then slap him.
(Translation: what are you hiding there? What? A mosquito bit you?")
"You rats are so dead!" I see several other people covered with dye and out of nowhere before I can hit Marcus again, I can feel someone pull me back away from him.
"Nothing to watch here folks, hey Viktor! The blue brings out your eyes." Xavier carries me away while still managing to tease people.
"Let me go, Xavier!" I yell throughout the hallway until he somehow gets me into my room.
"What the hell happened to everyone? Why are they covered in dye?" He examines my face.
"Stupid prank by the rats, since the legacy dance is coming up this week they torment the rats, pranks and I'm guessing they want to fight back now. They rigged our mail with blue dye, Marcus, Billy, and Lex we're behind it. He said something to me earlier so I decided to punch him."
"Well better you than me, so that's why your cheek is red, because you've been rubbing the hell out of it. Here let me help you-"
"No! I'm fine!" I yell at him. He pins both of my arms down onto the bed and looks me straight in the eyes.
"Either you let me help you or I will tie you down to this bed and scrub the shit out of this dye on your face."
"You would like that wouldn't you?"
"I'm trying to be a gentleman here, I'm feeling nice today so you pick." I roll my eyes and push him off of me.
"Just get this off my face," I say as if it's a command.
"What's the magic word?" I stare into his eyes as if I don't have a single ounce of patience left.
"You have to be fucking kidding me, I'm not a child....... Fine please?" My eyes soften and he nods his head.
"See? Was that so hard?" I roll my eyes and I sit there Patiently when he gets the rubbing alcohol. He places his two hands on my knees and opens them to get close to me, I look at his eyes while he's focused on getting the dye out.
"You're playing a dangerous game Esmerelda, if you keep doing that I won't be able to control myself. I'm trying to be respectful of you and Marcus."
"So now you wanna be respectful? That is hilarious, but I don't care enough to defend his ass right now."
"He fucked up that bad huh?" I nod then hop off my bed to wash my face so it doesn't reek of rubbing alcohol.
I turn around to look for my hair tie and he holds it up for me, before I can grab it he puts it around his wrist.
"Did you know Im an excellent hair braider, I used to do it for Chelsea until she learned how to do it herself."
"Go on then cheekbones, show me your talent." I turn around and honestly, it feels like he knows what he's doing, five minutes later he's done. I look in the mirror and my eyes go wide.
"Gee your a man of many talents, how adorable is that." He presses his body against me and I can feel a bulge against my ass while his strong hands are on my waist.
"I also have many other talents but it would only work if I show you, I heard you are a visual learner, will you allow me to demonstrate?" He whispers against my ear, as we both look at each other in the mirror.
"Nope, I may be in a messy situation with Marcus but my legs will stay closed for anyone who isn't him, nice try though. Remember our agreement? No unnecessary touching, I'm still thinking about burning off your hand don't make me do it." I go walk past behind him and I hear him chuckle.
"You may be a small girl but shit you can be scary, would you think of going to the legacy dance together?." I sit down on my bed and wrap my blanket around me.
"I'll think about it, I don't even know if I want to go, I have a shit ton of things to do, going to a dance is the least of my concerns right now. Chester is back, the maniac almost killed me, I've survived through so much I feel like Harry Potter now."
"You survived his attempt of taking your life the first time, you can get rid of him once and for all. You're not alone this time."
"That's the problem, Chester will use that against me and will start taking us out one by one, I don't fucking care what happens to me but god forbid he goes after my brother and anyone else. I've never had a weakness before until now."
"After everything that has happened, you'd still sacrifice your life for Marcus?"
".....Yeah, I would. It's complicated, this is why I didn't date before until now, because it would be too easy to put me out of my misery and let me die instead to let me suffer and be alive."
