"Come on then, spill" Roozhan sat on the edge of her bed and watched a bleary eyed Travis peek out from under the covers of the single mattress that had been placed on the floor for him. He had been staying with Roozhan and her family ever since his throw down with his mother
"What are you talking about?" Travis' voice was heavy with sleep and his hair fanned around him like a halo.
"Well that's two dirty dreams in two nights, it's starting to effect my mental health, you are scarring me for life"
Travis chuckled and threw an arm over his face
"How bad was it this time?"
"Just a lot of groaning and cursing, you have a filthy mouth when you're horny, has anyone ever told you that?"
"I have been complimented on it once or twice before, yes" Pushing himself up on to his elbows he looked at his friend and smiled, a mattress on the floor and yet he had had never felt more at ease waking up
"You know I'm thankful to you and your parents for letting me crash here don't you?"
Roozhan just nodded, the emotion in his voice hitting her in places only he could.
"So, when do I get to meet your little Juliet?"
Travis cocked an eyebrow as a question
"Your forbidden love, the girl that's keeping certain bits of you up all night. I get to make the final decision right, if she stays or if she goes?"
"We can hang out any time you like" he replied, throwing back the covers and standing up to stretch "But just one thing"
"What's that?"
"She definitely stays" he dropped his eye in a wink and moved towards the en suite to shower.
"So you're really into her, not just to piss Jay boy off?"
"Roozhan, it was never about Jason, there's just...theres something about her, I can't explain it"
"So are you official, are you off the market?"
"Well I haven't asked the question but I think we both know where we stand. Besides, she's so worked up all of the time, I wouldn't have the energy for any other girls"
"I don't know what it is about you girls go crazy for, I just don't see it myself"
"Well that's because I have the wrong 'interesting bits' for you now isn't it? "
"So it's just the 'interesting bits' they like? That's so shallow Travis"
"And then there's the face, the physique, the personality, I'm just everything a girl needs rolled into one tall package"
"And the ego, the over confidence, yip, I still don't see it" she had a laugh in her voice as she reached for her wheelchair, Travis knowing better than to even dare to offer her some help.
"So, you, me and Tay will I set it up?"
"You had better set it up or I will just rock up to her house and introduce myself" Travis shuddered at the thought of Roozhan and Taylor facing off, he wasn't sure who would come out on top but he was sure it would be entertaining to watch
"I will speak to her, I will make it happen, under my supervision"
**************
Taylor walked down the high school corridor and felt like there was something she was missing. A joke she wasn't part of.
That was the third group of girls she had walked past and the third to dissolve in to fits of giggles whilst looking at her.
She had checked her back, no one had stuck anything to her, no 'point and giggle at Taylor' sign but there was definitely something going on she didn't know about but sure as hell she was going to find out.
Stomping over to the third group of girls she jutted out her hip and crossed her arms over her chest, the look on her face sobering them immediately
"What's the joke?" she demanded
"I don't know what you're talking about" stuttered a red head who's cheeks now matched the colour of her hair.
"Yes you do, you were laughing at me two seconds ago and I want to know why, now"
"Um... Taylor?" Sara spoke from behind her, her voice quiet and hesitant and Taylor turned to face her immediately "I think you had better see this"
Walking in silence, Taylor tried to prepare herself for whatever she was about to be faced with, but the solomn look on her best friends face told her it was something bad, something very bad
Reaching the lockers Taylors heart froze solid in her chest.
'For a good time call Taylor ' and her telephone number had been spray painted right along the side of the lockers and underneath it was an enlarged photo of her face with a hole cut out where her mouth should be
"Oh my fucking God!" Reaching out Taylor attempted to pull the picture off but it wouldn't budge.
"Super glue, I already tried to take it down" her friend informed her, never once making eye contact
"I'm going to kill him"
"Taylor ..." Sara reached for her friends arm but Taylor snatched it from her grasp and headed in search of Jason Kelce
*********
"You bastard!" she screamed whilst pummeling Jasons back, the young man turned around and grabbed Taylor by the wrist, pulling her body in to his
"I knew you couldn't keep your hands off me Taylor, must be something about the name Kelce that you can't resist" he goaded, his breath hot against her skin.
"You wrote that stuff in there didn't you?" she tried to pull away but Jason kept her close, his strength far superior to hers
"It's nothing that isn't true is it Tay, I mean you barely know Travis and you are already fucking him"
"You don't know what you're taking about"
"I know you're sleeping with my brother when he hasn't even had the decency to make you his girlfriend. I know he calls you 'his girl' just like he does probably 10 other girls and if you're wondering how I know so much maybe you should talk to your little sidekick, she seems more than eager to go around spilling the dirty details of your sex life"
With that Jason released Taylors arm, aware that he had given her the information that would hurt her most
"Sara wouldn't"
"Sara already did" kissing a finger he pressed it to Taylors nose and then turned and walked away.
A look of triumph on his face
