Penguins in the Caribbean, chapter 17
~~No One's pov. ~~
Zafera sat behind Mike during Math class as the teacher rambled on about some sort of... Math thing. Mike the odd time would pass a note to her or would point at people and laugh disturbing the whole class.
Zafera hadn't seen Tre or Billie the whole day. She was a bit worried since she saw Tre atleast once a day but she soon shook that thought away. They where more then likely getting high anyway. But she did hope that Billie would make it for the play. If he didn't then he would get kicked out of school. Well that's what he told her anyway on the walk to school.
Billie giggled as he exhaled. The smoke burnt a bit in his throat. It had calmed him down from his earlier state. He just didn't feel like himself that day and the joint had more then cheered him up. He rested his hand on Tre's arm who was laying on the grass next to him. "Where am I?"
"Dude, that's the fifth time you've asked me that!" they burst into giggles.
"Hey look a couple of stoners... Awww don't they make a cute couple!" that was the lamest attempt to start a fight Billie had ever heard. But without warning he was being held to the ground. Someone panted in his ear. "Stay the fuck away from my girlfriend you dipshit or I'll rip your balls off!" Tre pushed the guy off Billie. But he was slightly weaker since he was really high!
Billie got up. What the hell was he talking about? He didn't go near the guys girlfriend. Not that he knew who the guy was but still. He didn't seem like the type to go out with anyone except a prep. And Billie sure as hell wouldn't touch someone like that... Well if they paid him maybe. Which would be highly unlikely
"What the hell are you talking about? Who the hell are you anyway?" Billie asked finally starting to come off his high.
"Oh like fuck you don't know who I am!" He yelled. Now Billie recognized him. He was the 'bad ass' of the school. Well he was to the football players. Not to everyone else though. Everyone else thought of him as insane. But not a bad ass. Micky was his name.
Micky's followers made a little circle around Billie and him. Tre was trying to free himself from the head lock he was being held in.
"So like I said before... Stay the fuck away from her.. Got it?" He took out a knife and held it to Billie's thoat when he got close enough.
"I don't FUCKIN' know who she is!"
"It's Zafera!"
~~Flash back~~
"Why hello there." the suddon apearance made Zafera jump a bit.
"Hi?" she had no idea who he was. Why was he talking to her? What did he want?
"I'm Micky."
"I.. I'm Zafera." she tried to smile but he was appualing. The odor made her want to gag and he looked insane. He opened his mouth to speak but Billie had interupted him.
"Hey Zafera!" he pushed Micky out of the way without even noticing him. "Where are you headed to?" He seemed happier then usual... But his pupils were really large. He was high.. Of course. She grabbed his arm and pulling him around the corner where no one was.
"Billie are you insane! If a teacher sees you like this you could get kicked out!" He giggled.
"Aaaww I'm sorry am I worrying you! I didn't mean to." he made a puppy face and hugged her. She almost fell over cause he was just dangling in her arms.
"Billie God damn it!" he was wasn't paying attention just humming something. She grabbed his face to look at hers. "Billie I want you to go outside 'till you are.. Calmed down. Got it." He smiled and ran away in a zig zag patern.
She rested against the locker. Why would Billie come in the school when he was high she thought.
"Hi." she felt arms wrap around her waist. It made her jump.
"I'm sorry do I know you?" he frowned the grabbed her arm and pushed her into the locker. His face was so close to hers that she could see every large pore on his face.
"You better fuckin know me bitch! Now your gonna be my bitch from now on understand?"
"Hell no!" his grip tightened and she squirmed under the pressure. Her arm was tingling.
"You better fucking understand!"
"O.. Okay" she finally gave in. He smiled and shoved her before walked down the hall like nothing happened.
Her breathe was shaky as she sunk onto the ground. What the hell had she gotten herself into? She rubbed her arm. Already there was a bruise forming.
~~End Of Flash Back~~
What the hell? Billie was stunned. How did Zafera end up with this dipshit like him? He didn't know why this bothered him so much.. Except for the fact that Micky is insane.
"Why the hell would Zafera go out with a shit head like you?" Billie didn't mean to say that outloud but when he did he was given a forceful punch to the face. Knocking him back a bit.
"Fuck off! Now you better not go near her or well.. You'll see." Billie stood there as they walked away. A million questions running threw his mind.
"Billie!" Tre yelled and out of no where he grabbed a keenex and whipped the cut on his cheek bone. "Billie wake up we gotta leave before the teachers come!"
Snapping out of the trance they ran to the gym where everyone was rehearsing for the play. They made it just in time.
"Hey Billie!" he turned around to see Zafera smiling and coming towards them. He felt a bit strange now though. Now that he knew about her and Micky.
"OH.. Hey."
"What's the matter you don't seem to happy?" she asked concerned. He never used o act like that.
"Nothing." He smiled weakly. Zafera thought it was probably nothing and greeted Tre.
"Hey Zafera.. So you and Micky huh?" she felt like a bullet had just went threw her. She had forgotten about that.
"Um..." She saw him watching her with a smirk on his face. "yeah me and Micky." she just dropped her gaze. In the moments she talked to Micky he was being a jackass.
"Zafera you feeling okay?" she opened her mouth but the cold arms around her waist made her stop.
"She's fine." Micky cut in. Tre and Billie stared at him as he lead Zafera away.
"I don't like him."
"I don't either." Billie replied. "But what can we do... She must see something good in him." He walked off back stage to do the lighting. Leaving Tre behind shaking his head.
"I don't want you going near that freak again understand!" he had zafera by the hair.
"What you can't do that! It's my own right as to who I hang out with." another punch to the stomache made her weeze in pain. Why was he doing this to her? She looked at him. He was smiling and draging her into a stal in the bathroom. He pushed her on the wall while unzipping his pants. She couldn't move. She knew where this was headed and she felt a tear stain her cheek. What had happened to the girl who never cried no matter what happened. Then she remebered Billie hugging her as she wept. Then the pain began
Where was she? Billie was getting really worried about her when he saw her coming on the stage and start to rehearse. She was really pale. But he knew she would tell him if there was something wrong right? He flicked the switch at the wrong moment. But was he alright, he smacked his forehead "Sorry!"
After school Zafera ran home to get away from Billie and Micky. She felt a wave of releaf sweep over her as she crept up the stairs to her room. But something caught her eye.
Now normally a note book on someones floor would seem normal. I fit wasn't Billie. She knew that he hated writing things down even if it was a simple phone number. So being the curious person she was she opened it.
It was amazing. Never had she seen such beautiful songs in her life. And she hadn't even heard them to music yet. But it was highly unlikely thta she ever will here it since she must never tell Billie that she was in his room or snooping. It wasn't like her to snoop it's just. Billie's ways facinated her.
She flipped to the last song. It was the most beautiful thing in the book. It was called '2000 light years away' ( I understand who it really is about by the way and yes I know without Adrienne he probably wouldn't have writen it.. Duh... But I changed it so blaah... Authors rights! ) Who ever it was about must be very specail to him. A slight lump went in her throat.
Just them Billie walked into his room to see Zafera laying on his bed with his note book! What did she think she was doing with his things!
"What the hell are you doing?!?!" she jumped up and emediatly droped the book. She looked scared.
"I.. I'm sorry I just was curious." she flinched as he quickly grabbed the book. Silence came until Billie broke it.
"Um... Why'd you look through it.. Even if you were curious?"
"I don't know... I guess it just caught my eye.. But before you yell at me I hope you know that those songs are wonderful." he looked down feeling himself blush. He had heard that many times on Gilman Street when him and his band preformed he just didn't understand what had come over him. He never blushed.
"Thanks."
"Um... I think I should go then." she felt really stupid being caught then blurting out that she thought they were wonderful. She winced a bit as she felt his hand grab her arm where the bruise was becoming more sensitive by the moment.
"Wait... Before you go.. Why did you look so upset at school. Was it... Micky."
"Um... No it wasn't... I have to go..." she walked out of the room and collapsed on her bed. It was then that she realized how much trouble she was in and stated to cry.
~~12 At Night~~
Billie walked past Zafera's "room" and heard the muffled sound of crying. He knew that she was lying to him about being alright. But what could he do if she didn't want to tell him?
She heard a knock at the door then Billie came in. Caught again at her weakest moment. She wiped her eyes.
"Zafera.. I know you aren't okay... Tell me what's wrong."
"N-Nothing."
"Tell me." he sat on her bed.
"NO YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND!" she yelled and ran out of the house. He ran after her. He didn't know which way she went so he waited out on the porch for her. Although he knew that she wasn't coming back for awhile.
She sat on the swings at the park. Then foot steps came. Hands held her sholders and she knew it was him.
"Micky.. Fuck off... I hate you and no matter what you do you can't change that!"
"Awww I really don't fucking care about your feelings got it? But I've grown bored of you... Maybe I'll fuck you later... I know how much you love that." He tightened his grip on her. "Come one." he pulled a prep towards him and winked at Zafera.
"Eww you fucked that piece of shit." the prep said not even caring if Zafera heard her.
"You are som much better then her." they laughed and disapeared around the durt path.
