-----------------------------------------
Holly quickly finished applying concealer and foundation, putting on a simple makeup look of icy blue eyeshadow and pink lip gloss.
She'd started wearing real makeup with the foundation and concealer she used to cover up bruises.
It made her whole "it's just makeup!" thing seem more believable.
She grabbed her bag and left the restroom.
Holly would never regret wearing makeup more than today.
--------
Holly walked out of the restroom, walking over to her friends immediately.
The topic of conversation was on whether or not pizza should be eaten cold.
"Pizza was basically created to be eaten cold the next morning!" Sayako asserted.
"Pizza is supposed to be warm and cheesy!" Mimi argued.
Coral turned to Holly, smiling. "What do you think, Icy?"
Holly smiled softly at the nickname, then shrugged. "Depends on my mood. Like I wouldn't straight up eat a frozen pizza, but I'd eat it cold for breakfast."
Tai nodded knowingly. " 'Tis the way to eat pizza. Holly wins this one, guys."
Tristan walked over and went out of his way to shove Holly, she almost fell.
"Stop wearing makeup to hide the bruises. Everyone knows, dipshit."
He smirked, turning to face her.
Holly's face paled. "I, uh. I don't know what you're talking about."
Tristan scoffed. "You don't KNOW that your dad hits you?" He laughed quietly, "There's no use hiding it. Everyone fucking knows."
Holly gulped. "Well, I--"
"You're just like him, you know that?" Tristan teased.
Tears began to build in Holly's eyes.
"I- No I'm not."
"Oh yeah?" Tristan taunted. He stepped forward, smirking.
"You'll be just fucking like him when you grow up. You'll hit your kid and make them wear makeup to cover up the marks that you left. You'll make the little asshole scared of you, and why? Because you. Are. Just. Like. Your. DAD!"
By this time, Holly's eyes filled with tears, that soon overflowed and she found herself sobbing.
Tristan seemed proud of himself for making her cry.
Holly ran past him, not truly knowing where she was going.
Coral was about to run after her, before she felt a furiously angry aura beside her. She turned to her left and saw Hitaru, his aura was red and hot and...
He was beyond mad.
He was enraged.
Tristan simply laughed, Maddison laughed with him.
Hitaru took a breath, and without thinking, took a few steps forward and grabbed Tristan by the collar of his shirt, pulling Tristan down to his height.
