Attack of the Bambinos - Bars and Melody

Chapter Eight

xxx_bambino_xxx' s P.O.V

Zelda? Zelda Smith? I will track down Zelda Smith and kill Zelda Smith. She doesn't have any feelings for him she just wants him for his fame, of course his fame is a major bonus. All his fans will love me I will just tweet hate for this Zelda Smith.

@xxx_bambino_xxx Zelda Smith is a pathetic stupid idiot. #Zarlie is stupid and idiotic, he deserves much better than that slut.

Immediately there are replies.

@Fiona.Devries Hey leave Charlie alone, it is his choice. I ship #Zarlie.

@bamforever What the hell is wrong with you? Why would he want a jealous bitch like you?

@izzie.lenahan leave Zelda alone!

@leondreismylife f*** off you jealous s***!

Huh.

@xxx_bambino_xxx There's no need to hate. The lot of you are rubbish bambinos, hating on me.

@bambino78990 I agree. Zelda Smith sounds like a bitch.

YES! Someone has come to their senses.

Charlie's P.O.V

BORED.BORED.

I am going to check my Twitter....

Well. 8000 notifications. That's rather a lot...I click on the top one and see a tweet that is a link to a YouTube video, so I click the link to see... my English class room? I hit play.

''I am going to read out a few to the whole class,'' No. No. No. Please God no.

''First I am going to read......Charlie's.'' Kill. Me. Now.

"Dear Diary. Today we were set some homework for an essay. Mrs Grey was talking about it, but all I could concentrate on was her astounding beauty."

"That isn't mine. I don't know what that is, but i didn't write it. Does that sound like me?"

"Dear Diary, last night I had a mentally scarring dream about sloths. I don't really want to describe the experience, if I'm honest,"

"I swear, I didn't write that. I did my essay!"

"Charlie, who did write this then?"

"Leondre Devries, miss,"

"Why would a thirteen year old boy write this in his friend's homework book? I think we all know it was you, and if I'm honest I'm finding it rather humiliating."

"Dear Diary, today I went to the beach with my grandma and I accidently farted really loudly but she's so deaf she didn't even hear it. Loads of people were staring at us and I pointed at Grandma, who didn't even notice. I'm probably going to hell now. Damn you baked beans."

"Charlie, that's two detentions for not doing your homework, two detentions for cheek, two detentions for trying to blame it on someone else, and five detentions for inappropriate language,"

"That's... eleven detentions!"

"You can start after school today. Now you better pay attention in this lesson or it'll be a lot more than eleven."

The video ends and I glance at the views. Wait, 423051? That's...four hundred thousand people who have seen me be humiliated.

I scroll through the comments, and see a familiar username. It is xxx_bambino_xxx, begging Leo to get me to talk to her. He has replied saying I have a girlfriend - wait, what?

My imaginary girlfriend is called Zelda Smith, and already a ton of people hate her. Suddenly, I hold my breath and go back on to twitter, praying that no one else saw.

Trending Hastags.

1. #Zarlie.

FML.

Leo's P.O.V

"Hello," I say into the phone.

"Leo, do you have a death wish?" I hear Charlie growl.

"Aha! You saw!" I laugh.

"Damn right I saw. Do you have any idea how humiliated I feel? And the imaginary girlfriend everyone hates? You have gone to far this time, Leo."

I feel a bit guilty now. "It was just a joke, Charlie," I gulp.

"It's always a joke with you Leo. You know what? We're done. Bars and Melody is over," he says, and hangs up.

Leo. Leo. Leo. What have you done?
