Thank You For Being There For Me

Chapter 11

Achilles:

The next day, I wanted to hang out with Helen, but apparently I had to run errands with my mom today so we can't hang out. Although Helen just texted me saying that she needed to run errands with her dad so I guess it's fine. So the first place we needed to go was the spa, I wanted to wait in the car, but my mom wouldn't let me so I had to go in.

It feels so awkward being in a spa, it felt like I was the only guy there. But all I needed to do was wait for my mom to be finished so I guess it's not that bad. That is until my mom called me into a spa room where I saw her lying on a bed with a bathrobe on and that green facial on was on her face along with cucumbers on her eyes.

"Can you hand me my phone?" she asked as she held her hand out.

Seriously mom? I thought you came to the spa to relax, not to continue talking on your phone. I didn't want to disobey her so I handed her her phone. But just when I was about to leave, I spotted someone at the counter, as I looked closer, I saw it was Hera. I quickly hid behind the wall as I watched her go into the hair salon room where she sat in one of the chairs. I then decided that if she was here, I might as well listen to what she says. So I went over to the wall in front of the hair salon and started to listen.

"I'd like some colors today" she told the male hairdresser "I want to look fab-u-lous."

"Oui madame" he smiled with an accent.

"No way are you French?" Hera gasped.

"Oui, I am from Paris."

"Oo la la" she giggled "My friends and I have always wanted to go to Paris, the city of love. Maybe we'll actually find love."

I doubt it, who would want to fall in love with you?

"I mean, I've dated a lot of guys" she continued "But I've never dated a French guy, a bet they're really cute."

"Oh so you're popular?" the hairdresser asked.

"Oh please, I'm the most popular girl in school, everyone knows I'm the Queen Bee. Even this one floozy who is a total scumbag knows that I run the school. Such a shame that she's a total outcast, and yet I don't care. It's no wonder her parent's named her after Helen Keller, cause she's weak."

I felt my fists clench and my blood boil. That bitch, how dare she says that about Helen.

"I will be right back with your colors" the hairdresser said as I slipped the eye cover over her eyes as he went out of the salon.

After making sure he was gone, I did what I had to do as I went into the salon and up to Hera, thank goodness she can't see me.

"I am back" I said in a French accent.

"Oh that was quick" she said.

"So this Helen" I said as I picked up some random bottle of hair dye from another cart "Why is she an outcast?"

"Oh she's always been an outcast" she said as I started to squeeze the hair dye onto her hair "Ever since elementary school, no one seems to like her, and why wouldn't they, she's a nobody."

I tried to keep calm as I squeezed another bottle of hair dye onto her head.

"If she doesn't step up her game-" Hera continued "She'll always be a nobody. But like I said, I don't care what happens to her."

No matter how much I wanted to yell, I kept my calm as I continued to squeeze the hair dyes into her hair.

"I will be back" I said in my accent as I left the salon.

Man I feel so evil, but it was worth it. Now all I gotta do is wait for the big surprise.

Helen:

I had to run errands with my dad today so I couldn't hang out with Achilles. I mean he had to do the same thing with his mom today so I guess it's all good. The first place we needed to go was the gym, I felt that I needed to work out too so I went into the locker room and changed into my sweat clothes. But just when I was about to leave the locker room, I opened the door and spotted Randy and one of his friends walking pass the locker room.

"Dude I should of recorded you spitting your coke onto Achilles" his friend George chuckled "It would of been priceless."

"Yeah but you didn't" Randy said as they went into the workout room.

Since my dad was in the other workout room, I decided to follow the guys to see what they had to say about Achilles. When I made it to the workout room, I peeked inside and listened to their conversation.

"Hey is it me" George said "Or has that Helen girl gotten hotter?"

Did he just call me hot?

"I think she has" Randy agreed "I remember when she used to be so geeky with those braces and glasses."

"You think Achilles likes her?"

"I'm sure he does, but do you really think she likes him back? No girl would want to date that loser. Like I said before, he's a whimp, he's a nobody."

I felt my blood boil with anger.

"Hey I'll be back" George said as he left the workout room as I quickly hid behind the door so he wouldn't see me.

I looked back inside and saw that Randy was doing sit ups with his earbuds in and his eyes closed. At that point I did what I had to do as I quickly went to the other workout room where my dad was exercising as I spotted his sweat towel next to him. What I was about to do was disgusting, but worth it. I grabbed his sweat towel that was soaking wet as I made it back to the other workout where Randy was still doing his sit ups.

And quickly as I can, I went to his water bottle where I opened it up and squeezed my dad's sweat into the water. This was so gross, but Randy deserved it for saying those things about Achilles. After that I went out of the room and quickly walked away. Now all I needed to do was wait for the big surprise.
