Song: Look What You Made Me Do

Reputation

Lover flapped her hands at me, so I dragged my feet to my room like an immature child. I put some simple clothes on and chose a matching handbag before walking back downstairs. Debut was looking at her phone by the front door when I walked downstairs. She looked up when she heard my footsteps.

'Took you long enough' she scowled.

'Hey, be grateful I'm taking you shopping'.

'It was against my will!'

'Let's just go'. After saying this, I just opened the front door and walked out, heading towards my black Porsche.

'Sick car' Debut said as she closed the door behind us.

'Thanks'.

'Can I drive it?'

'You think I would let you drive my Porsche?'

'Sure why not'.

'No. Of course you can't, you don't even have a license. No one drives my Porsche but me'.

'That's so messed up'.

'Shut up and get in the car. But don't touch it'.

'What do you mean don't touch it? I have to sit in it'.

'Good point. Just don't get mess anywhere'.

'Why would I?' Debut mumbled.

'I don't know, you're a kid. Kids are messy'.

Debut just rolled her eyes and looked away. The drive to the mall was short, thankfully, so we arrived quickly. I sighed and reminded myself we were supposed to be bonding and as much as I didn't want to, Lover wanted me to, so I was going to try.

'Alright. Where are we going first?' I asked as we walked in.

'I don't mind- oh no' Debut's face froze.

'What's up?' 

'It's just, those people over there really have it out for me in school', she said, pointing to a group of high school kids walking along.

'Really? Well, it's a big building, we should be fine'.

'Good point, maybe we should get something to eat?'

'Good idea'.

A few minutes later Debut and I were sitting at a cafe. I had ordered a bagel and her a croissant. We sat and chatted for a while, as we ate and as much as I didn't want to admit to it, the curly-haired teen wasn't hard to get along with. It was a miracle we could finally converse without trying to tear each other's hair out.

'That was good, thanks rep' Debut said after she had finished eating.

'No worries, but I think we should get shopping otherwise no one is going to get anything under the tree this year'.

'Good point, I'm going to have a look in there' Debut said, pointing to a shop just across from the café.

'Sounds good. If you need me, I'll be just over there'. I replied before walking over to the shop opposite Debut's.

I wandered the aisles for a while, looking at the trinkets and deciding on what to buy. Eventually, I picked out a pair of crescent moon earrings for Midnights, a book called 'How To Kill People With Fungi' for Evermore, a blue makeup palette for 1989, a small red chair ornament for Fearless, a small mirrorball for Folklore, a scarf for Red, a tiara for Speak Now and a new pair of riding boots for Debut I hadn't figured out what to get Lover yet, and as I was looking around, I heard a shout from across the mall. A very yeehaw-sounding shout.

I put my already purchased presents in my bag before racing over to the shop to see what was going on. The kids Debut had pointed out before had cornered her in an aisle, but I hadn't seen them yet, I was still looking around the store for Debut.

'Hey look, it's our favourite gay cowgirl' one of them sneered, she had a nose ring and was chewing a piece of gum in an obnoxiously loud way.

'Look, I don't know what your problem is with me, so can you please leave me alone and let me shop' Debut asked with a forced calm tone.

'Or what? Our problem with you is you're a weirdo. No one wants weirdos in this world' one of the boys replied, he had a badly drawn scar on his eye and had his hand around the gum girl's waist.

'Well said Pookie' gum girl said, turning around and kissing scar boy who must have been her boyfriend.

'Get a room, lovebirds. Anyway, what are going to do about cowgirl?' The other boy asked just as I turned a corner and saw them.

'I don't know, we definitely can't have this gay crap in our space. I bet some good d would fuck it out of ya' the boy continued, starting to walk over to Debut.

At that point, I had seen enough and marched over to the 16-year-olds.

'Don't you come closer to her if you value your face' I hissed at the boy who started laughing.

'Who's this cowgirl? Your emo babysitter? You just keep getting weirder!' At this point, the entire friend group was laughing, and Debut stepped behind my back slightly, looking at the floor.

'Last chance for you to shut up' I said, walking right up to the boy and glaring at him.

'What will you do if I don't?' He smirked, looking proud of himself. I rolled my eyes before swinging my fist at the idiot's jaw. He grunted loudly and stumbled from impact before shooting eye daggers at me and marching away, his weird friends close behind. Once they were gone I turned around to Debut.

'Are you ok? Did they hurt you?'

'I'm fine rep, just a bit shaken. You were amazing though; they won't forget about that'.

'Ah it was nothing, just please don't tell'-

'I can't wait to tell Lover'.

'Oh god. She's either going to be proud or mad that I hit a kid. She's probably going to be mad. Oh well, I did it for you. Shall we continue shopping?'

'Sure. I'm staying with you though, I've already gotten everyone everything'.

'That's fine I just need to get Lover something. Do you think she would like a kitten?'

'Oh my god, rep she would lose her mind. You have to get her one!'

'Ok ok, let's go to the pet shop'.

AN: I'm not sure how much I like this chapter, but I really wanted Rep and Debut to have a small wholesome moment together cos they're our two little vault buddies!
