Sorry for any mistakes (feel free to point them out to me)

Chapter 9

As I sat in detention I contemplated my hatred for Eden Marelli. Now I understand your thinking ‘why is he tripping over this Marelli girl so much? He’s always going on about his hate blah blah blah blah’. But the point is; detention is a beautiful place to allow ones anger and frustration to fester and boil inside of ones’ self calmly. As I lazily lounged over the tiny desk I did just that. 

Fun Fact: it is impossible to come up with a good revenge plan with your friend snickering beside you. I growled inwardly and glared at Sonny. “Do you mind?” I hissed. “I’m trying to work over here” I continued taking some of my pent up anger out on him. He blinked owlishly at me twice

“Calm down brosef.” Sonny ordered. I sighed heavily

“Sorry man” I mumbled scratching at the desk. “Hey you know the girl I was talking to you about this morning?”

“Yeah the one you ‘loathe’” Sonny said sarcastically, even going so far as to make air-quotes with his fingers

“Yeah, it was her behind the stunt in the cafeteria today” I felt the need to explain the whole situation to him so he understood why we would be attending an hour’s detention every afternoon for the next month. I guess I also hoped that Sonny would see her conniving ways and drop his whole theory on me feeling the ‘L’ word toward her. To my complete horror Sonny busted out laughing so hard that tears started streaming down his face.

“You sure know how to pick ‘em” he teased rubbing away the tears

“I didn’t pick her!” I argued hotly “She picked me” I muttered, furiously scratching away at the desk now. “But that’s what’s got me so angry. I can’t think of a way to get her back for what she did”

“Oh that’s an easy one buddy.” Sonny chuckled, seriously the guy just didn’t stop laughing – ever. I raised an inquisitive eyebrow so he would continue. “Just have sex with her and move on” he smiled triumphantly. I slugged him in the shoulder. Sonny yelped out in pain but still managed to maintain that infuriating smile. “Just look at it this way. It’ll be some hot and intense sex cause of all that anger you have towards each other and it’ll get her all out of your system. Easy peezy” he shrugged happily as if he had just cured cancer

“You are aware that you’re an idiot right?” I replied in a flat tone. “Just the idea of her touching me is repulsive. So what’s plan B” I asked moving on from Sonny’s solution for everything – sex

“Sorry mate I can’t help you, not until I know who she is” he looked at me smugly as if he had me cornered

“I don’t see how that would help” I avoided the question and returned to my scratching

“C’mon man why won’t you tell me?!” Sonny asked angrily

“Because you gossip more than Eliza and her group” I explained teasingly, we both knew it was the truth. Sonny took on a hurt expression and leaned closer to me

“If my brother,” he looked at me meaningfully, we had been referring to each other as brothers since year 8. “Didn’t want me saying anything than I could keep my mouth shut” his eyes bore into mine and as I took in his sincerity I considered telling him everything. How Eden Marelli had lured me into hell with a million bucks. I opened my mouth but was cut off by Sonny’s happy whooping. I looked at him confused but he wasn’t looking at me he was staring gleefully at the desk. I followed his gaze and found myself staring at your average, graffiti desk. Several swear words and crude pictures were decorating the wood but what drew our attention was a relatively new carving of an ‘E’ and an ‘M’, smack bang in the middle. Eden Marelli, I looked at the pencil in my hand and then back at my carving. Why was I carving Eden’s initials into a desk? I felt disorientated and looked back up at Sonny hoping he could make some sense of this.
