YA"LL I HAVE A TORNADO WATCH - IMMA CHASE IT

Nova

You have got to be kidding me. 

I stare at the bitch who has been glaring at me since I arrived at this school, as she starts walking over towards me with a glare on her face.

"Can I help you?" I say with absolutely no interest.  Of course the one day I decide to just get lunch from the cafeteria she has to waltz on in line next to me.

"Actually yes, you can." She says, still glaring at me like its supposed to intimidate me.

"Careful, your gonna get wrinkles." I tell her looking away. She opens her mouth and then closes it, kind of like a fish out of water.  But she does stop glaring, so I can say I got to her.

"Clearly you don't know who I am, but that is only because you are new. So I figured I would save the hassle and just introduce myself to you. You probably have heard of me by now anyway, but I am Valentina." 

I stare at her blankly before bursting out laughing. I just couldn't help it. "Oh my-" I cut myself off with more laughter. It makes so much sense. I see her face falter and her posture stiffen. Who knew me laughing could also be intimidating. "You're Valentina? That actually makes so much sense." I say, thinking back to the situation with Toni. I actually never looked at the girl that was over, I didn't care enough. I just heard talking while I was up because of another sleepless night.

"What is that supposed to mean?" She says with a disgusted look.

"Oh nothing. Don't worry about it."  Why am I actually kind of glad I stayed to get lunch this time?

"Excuse you? Who do you think you are to talk to me like that!?" She says crossing her arms.

"Please, save me the lecture." I say with an eye roll, turning back. But the bitch, put her filthy hands on me! And I mean filthy, who knows what dicks she has been touching. "Get your nasty hand off of me, before I remove it." Literally, like she will not have a hand.

"UGH, stop talking to me like that! I don't know who you think you are, but you are not better then me so stop thinking it. I only came over here to warn you." She says with a scoff.

"Well then, go on. What is this warning you wanted to give me." Is the day almost over?

"You see that table over there?" She says, pointing to where I sit. My brothers and all their friends already sitting and watching this interaction. Jax is also over there, he looks like he is telling Elio and Toni something while they look like they are about ready to get up. 

"As a matter of fact, I do see that table." I feel like I am talking to a child.

"Good! Stay away from it." She says with her glare back in place. 

"See I would, but I don't take orders from anyone, at all." I say with my emotionless face. 

"Well your going to from me!" She says trying to get in my face and intimidate me. But the only thing intimidating is her breath. Seriously, did this girl eat a rotten egg?

"Yeah and why am I going to listen to you? Hm"

"Because they are mine."

"Seriously? All of them?" I mumble 'Jeez' under my breath. "Are they aware of this.... relationship? Or did you create this fantasy in your head, and forgot how to tell reality and your dreams apart?"

"Well- YOU ARE NOT QUESTIONING ME!" She yells, drawing more attention. "And yes, I was just with Antonio at their place not that long ago." She says as if she won something. She needs a looot of help. Metal hospital help.

"Okay, there is no need to get so aggravated. It was just a question Vanessa-"

"My name is NOT Vanessa! It is Valentina!"

"Oh is it? I could have sworn Antonio was calling to Vanessa that day, my bad." As much as I am disgusted with this conversation, I think it was worth her face.

"YOU BITCH" She says before going to slap me.

Before she can make contact with my face I grab her wrists. Gasps are heard all around the room before it goes silent. I think I heard Jax's amused "Ohhh shit." From here. But I definitely heard him afterwards say, "Relax guys, just watch the show." To my brothers when they not so quietly stood up.

"Now who taught you it was okay to use violence when you are upset?" I say like I was talking to a toddler. "You see, one thing I go by.. is to never start a fight, but to always finish one." I say as a small smirk makes its way onto my face. I can see her visibly pale. She clearly has never had an actual fight before, that is probably because she somehow managed to get everyone to think they are beneath her. 

"My dad will-"

"I don't care what you think your dad will do, Vanessa. Clearly someone needs to teach you a lesson, and because he didn't I will. You do not lay your hands on other people." I say as I twist her arm. 

"AGH" She screams as I hear something snap in her wrist. Now she is crying. She makes it too easy. I release her, and she falls to the ground. I put my foot over her chest by her neck. "Is your lesson learned?" I ask her, and she nods. "I can't hear a nod." 

"Y-yes." She says as her eye are bulging out of her head.

"Now why don't you tell everyone here, what you are not going to do to them." I say. I know that having her admit defeat to everyone she thinks she controls, is worse then another broken hand. She goes to shake her head so I speak up again. "What was that? You really wanna experience what it is like to be in a wheelchair? I mean that can be rea-"

"NO"

"Okay. So stand up and tell them." I say, while moving my foot off of her. She stands up, rather slow. She is trying to take her sweet time, not wanting to do this. "Go on."

"I will not lay my hands on any of you." She says in a mumble.

"I don't think they heard you, say that one more time. And louder."

"I will not lay my hands on any of you." She says louder. 

"Much better! You can resume getting your food, I mean that is why you got in line. Was it not?" I say with fake innocence.

"Yes."

"Alright then." I say, while grabbing a wrap from the salad bar they have out.
