The night before Lauren returns to school I have a hard time sleeping. Emma made Jonasgo home so I walk to their backyard and throw a rock at his window and a minute later the back door opens with a beaming shirtless Jonas. Drool! It never gets old.
When we get to his room he starts kissing me and undressing me.
"Wait." I whisper out of breath.
His eyes look confused that I stopped him. I never do that.
"Sorry, I'm stressed because Lauren returns tomorrow and she has been physically abusing me since last year. Tripping, pushing, shoving and then pulling my hair. I don't want to put up with that anymore. I'm scared she'll beat me up though." He smiles with his crinkly twinkly eyes that make my heart float. His laugh is so cute.
"Babe, you can punch and round house kick. Lauren is just all talk. She touches you again you just pretend it's Tosh and punch her in her left tit!" I giggle.
"I can punch!"I beam with excitement. "Why am I so afraid?"
"I don't know but remember when you wrote that sex empowers you..." I roll my eyes in delight and do as he says and let sex empower me one more time before I see Lauren tomorrow.
I decide while I get ready for school not to be nervous and I tell myself that all morning through all my classes and lunch when she glares at me as she walks by our table I look away but then I grow a pair and glare back at her. She mouths"whore" and her little girl group all laugh with her. I refuse to stoop to her level by calling her unflattering, demeaning names. I will not be part of the problem I will be part of the solution. That doesn't mean I won't punch her in the tit if she touches me again.
In computer we have a substitute teacher and Lauren walks up and puts her hands on Jonas shoulders and Tosh erupts into laughter. Jonas looks up to her stunned because she is standing behind him as though he doesn't loathe her.
"Lauren get your fucking hands off me." He says through gritted teeth.
"Oh Jonas, you're always so playful." She twists her long perfect blonde hair like a friggin psycho.
"Are you high?" Tosh asks her still laughing hysterically.
She turns to look at me. "Called the cops on me you fucking cunt. You have no idea what I'll do to you now." Her hatred to me reaches all the way to the ears of Deb who kicks her chair out from behind her and storms across the room.
"Listen you little barbie doll bitch! You fuck with her, well you fuck with Big Deb and unlike Jax I am no lady and I will end your pathetic excuse of a life." She jabsLauren's shoulder with the tip of her fingers and Lauren starts crying, she runs out of class which makes me laugh internally. I'm so happy that Deb wants to be my body guard but what if Big Deb isn't there one day. I need to face this head on.
"Deb, you didn't need to do that. I'm flattered and humbled." I beam at her, then I hug her and she stands there awkwardly.
"I can't tolerate her fucking with you anymore. Last year when she posted that video of her tripping you I was pissed! I should of slit her throat then!" Deb says and pulls her shirt up to show me her knife handle tucked into her jeans. I slowly step away from her. Maybe I shouldn't hug Big Deb anymore?
"Thank you." Sheepish and unsure of what to say to my knife-toting-body-guard. Deb lumbers over to her chair and bends down to pick it up off the floor that she angrily knocked it onto. There is her famous butt crack that nobody dares to talk about anymore, I can see all the eyes quickly avert away, terror on everyone's faces. Maybe it's because she talks about slitting throats? Or that she carries a knife that could scalp anyone in this class? Thank god she likes me! Fuck being popular in high school, the only thing that truly matters is that Big Deb likes me.
