Hunter & Julie

Scene 13

Marc, Benny, Julie and I sat awkwardly on the couch.

"Okay, enough with this awkward bullshit, who are you?"

Julie cough and cleared her throat and put her hair behind her ear. She was completely spaced out.

"Aye, lady-"

"Huh? Sorry, my name is Julie"

Silence.

"Forgive me, what is yours?" She asked Marc but Marc rolled his eyes and didn't answer. I almost smacked him but Julie put her hand on my chest.

"My name is Ben!" Ben yelled out.

"That's a sweet name Ben" she smiled and Ben blushed.

"That's not my full name but I don't like my full name." Ben said. Oh, gosh here we go.

"And what is your full name?" she asked her eyes not knowing what she was doing to Ben.I felt jealousy fill me.

"His name is Benvolio"

"Haha! What the fuck type of name is that!" Marc laughed as he teased Ben.

"You see" Ben said crossing his arms in embarrassment.

"Well Benvolio, think you have a beautiful and incredibly unique name"

"Does Hunter still kiss you even after you have kissed someone's ass?" Marc scoffed.

"Shut the fuck up Marc!" Ben said "I'm tired of you being a complete ass for no reason"

"I could care less what you think"

"What the fuck is your problem?" I broke.

"Yeah!"

"You wanna know what my problem is?!" He stood up and went in front of Julie intimidatingly. I could feel her pulse through her hands speed up and her hands start to sweat. "My problem is that she is a Stone! She is rich snooty, and a liar. Her cousin is fucking Tyler, And you just got your heart broken and you go to a fucking Stone money slut and-"

"That is fucking enough!"

"No Hunter, Ben, let him continue" she said her voice soothing and sweet. "Go ahead, let it out" she said. She was nice, too fucking nice to that asshole.

"Well, you...you, you're one of them!"

"Is that all?" She asked as she stood up.

"Well, yes! Is that a fucking problem?"

She stood in front of Marc and he towered over her and somehow this was too tense we all waited for her to speak.

"The thing is, I really couldn't care less what you think of me. This is me trying to give a fuck" she pointed to her face and had a blank expression.

"What-"

"Shut it! She yelled at him. She pushed him to the couch and towered over him. "I have been beaten excessively since I was 8 years old. I have had more scars physically and mentally than I have hairs on my head. My step father once lit my hair on fucking fire. I haven't had a real meal in months cause he finds joy in my suffering. I am not rich! My family is and sometimes Tyler buys me things like clothes or my phone but that's it. I worked for my shit. Did you?"

"..um no but I -"

"Shut up! You don't know me, I am dating Hunter and not you, I don't care what you think of me. I am not privileged I am a nothing! So who ever you are-"

"Marc"

"Well Marc, if you're going to be rude to me for no apparent legitimate reason then leave me the fuck alone."
