Toilets & A Fake Girlfriend (girlxgirl)

Chapter 17: Marcus is Back

Last night was really weird. Melissa just kept cuddling me. She drank four cans of beer. I drove her car when we went home because she was a little bit drunk. As I put her to bed I attempted to kiss her but I was like "Nah," she might be awake.

Even with a little hangover, Melissa is still able to write my Spanish essay and she hasn't really decided if we continue to run for student council. I have been telling her not to, but she said she'll think about it. Also, I have kind of been avoiding her, the sight of her makes my heart jump. I know she told me to ride with her to school, but I haven't been. I have been biking. It saves fuel and widens air passage to my lungs. Good for people with asthma.

I pass my essay to Mrs. Rodriguez and she gives me that weird look on her face. Rachel isn't in class today. She's probably excused for academic purposes.

After my last class, I spot Melissa. I immediately turn around, avoiding her. I go to my locker and pretentiously arrange my books. I walk towards the hallway like a spy, trying not to get noticed by her. My head is bursting with thoughts about Melissa, her cuddles, and her breasts.

As I approach my bike, someone grabs my shoulder, "Hey, asshole, thanks for sending me to community service!" It was Marcus Cowen, he's back. Seeing his mad face makes me tremble inside. My knees suddenly felt weak.

"Your stupid friend, Rachel Rivera, is next!" he grabs my shirt. "You think you're the boss in here? Don't ya? You, bitch, you're making my life really miserable! You and your kind make me wanna kill you!" he pushes me hard to my bike, and all the bikes behind it, stagger. I grunt in pain. Everyone sees that. But no one helps me. All of them just watch me, they all do nothing.

"What did I ever do to you, Marcus?" I cry as I help myself to stand up. I have to appear strong in front of everyone.

"You make me sick!" Marcus yells at me and everyone around hears him.

Marcus lets out a deep breath. "Everyone! Listen up!" He calls every student and everyone turns to him. "We are not allowing this dyke and her stupid girlfriend run in the student council elections!" Maybe he should marry Veronica. "She ruined my life. I had to render community service because of her!"

"You burnt my shirt, idiot! You picked on a new kid. You pick on everyone in this school!" I tell him in front of everyone. "You don't own this place, old dick!"

"Shut up!" he yells. "Everyone---"

"Shut it, Marcus!" Someone from the crowd shouts, cutting him off. "He's been picking on me since I got here!"

"Yeah, shut it, Marcus!" Another one tells him. "We're not your toys!"

Marcus' eyes widened. "Shut up, dick, or I---"

"Or what?" A tall, skinny guy named Declan says, appearing from the crowd. "You'll shove me to my locker again? Bang my head against the wall? Call me names? Screw it!"

Marcus grits his teeth.

"Go ahead!" Declan says. "I'm not scared of you anymore. Especially now that I know that you're old enough to go to jail!"

"Assho---" Marcus runs towards Declan, but Melissa suddenly appears and hit him in the jaw so hard. Marcus falls to the ground and grunts in pain, "Fucking bitch!"

"Ow," Melissa sighs and says, "Yeah."

"Fuck!" Marcus cries. "You fags are gonna pay for this!"

"Yeah," Melissa shrugs.

"Bitch!"

"Yeah," she replies calmly.

"Faggot!"
