it's 3:35pm. jackson and i leave our final class of the day and make our way to our lockers.
"girl billie hasn't even made eye contact with you like all day you must be a scary little bitch" jackson says as i enter the code into my padlock and open the door of my locker.
i open my bag and take out the books i need to revise tonight. jackson looks into my locker.
"what's that?" he asks.
"what's what?" i reply.
jackson shoved his hand in my locker and took out a piece of paper.
"omg babes you so got a note from a hot catch" he says excitedly.
"meet me behind the bike shed after school. come alone" he reads aloud.
suddenly he begins jumping up and down and screaming "y/n this bitch tryna fuck!"
i take the paper from him, confused.
"that's not possible" i say. "they haven't even said who it is" i turn the note over in my hands.
"babes you have to go this could be such a fun experience for you" jackson says loudly.
"what if it's billie?" i ask.
"umm then you find out if she has a dick or not, duh" he says.
"no i mean, what if she wants a fight?" i say.
but jackson is already skipping down the corridor chanting:
"y/n's getting some cock"
i laugh to myself then read the note again.
meet me behind the bike shed after school. come alone.
well, i guess if it is billie, i have to go. or she'll only make sure she beats me up 10 times harder in-front of everyone tomorrow.
---
when i reach the bike shed i don't see anyone there. i lean against a wall and bring out my phone, seeing a message from jackson:
jackson
hey girl, i know you probably can't read this cause you have a penis in your vagina but have funnnn
i laugh to myself as i type my reply and hit send.
me
why did i not expect this from you? 😂 no one's even shown yet chill
---
i wait around for another ten minutes and decide to walk home, i pull a pack of cigarettes from my pocket and light one, inhaling deeply.
as i leave the school gates, i see billie walking towards me like a bomb about to explode.
"follow me" she says, grabbing my arm and leading me back into the school.
"and get rid of that" she adds, pulling the cigarette out of my mouth and tossing it away.
she storms to the cafeteria toilets, opens the door and drags me in.
"what do you want?" i say, rolling my eyes.
"to put you in your fucking place" she replies.
"oh i'm sorry to put me in my fucking place? you're the one being a homophobic bitch to my best friend. you know what? people like you really need to be careful cause one day you're gonna come across someone who fucking fights back. you don't scare me. you're just like the rest of them." i say.
i'm honestly shocked by myself. i have no idea where this confidence is coming from but i love it.
billie grabs my neck and pushes me against a wall.
"don't fucking speak to me like that." she growls.
"or what? it's only the truth" i say, slapping her for good measure.
she tightens her grip on my neck and i struggle for breath.
she looks deep into my eyes and i look into hers. i stare into the deep blue ocean in her eyes, the waves are crashing more and more violently by the second.
i feel myself getting weaker as i struggle for air.
i see her eyes begin to flicker wildly. it's as if there's a ship sailing through the storm, desperately fighting for safety.
i hear an ear-splitting bang as one of the pipes lining the cieling bursts open and water violently powers through the room.
billie let's go of my neck and i fall to the ground of the now constantly flooding bathroom.
my vision is extremely blurry but i could swear that i see the water fly back into the pipe, the exact reverse of how it flooded out.
the world spins furiously.
then everything goes black.
---
when i feel my eyes flutter open i see billie sat next to me, her arm in a sink full of water, her other hand rested on my arm.
i looked down and saw water running up my arm where my veins would be.
what the fuck is going on?
"oh thank god you're awake" she says, worry pouring out of her words.
i start to sit up "what ha-"
"don't sit up yet i'm not done" she says quickly.
i lay back down. "what are you doing to me? how are you doing that?" i ask, as a million more questions take over my tsunami of thoughts.
"chill. i'm just healing you" she says.
"but how? what's going on? what happened to the pipe?"
"oh you saw that?" she says awkwardly.
"uh.. yes" i reply.
i look into her eyes; the ocean seems calm like it had been this morning, but as i look closer i notice there are shark fins surrounding her pupils.
billie takes her hand out from the sink and all the water on my arm fades.
"done" she says and i sit up slowly. i look at her for an explanation. surely this is some kind of crazy dream.
but she simply says:
"if you tell anyone about this i will end you"
