Eva
Eva was curled up on her bed, blinking away any tears that started to form. Plugging in her headphones, she decided music could be good therapy.
... Silence.
"What's wrong with this thing?" she hissed. She hit it against her palm, with no effect.
"Argh!" she screamed and threw it against the wall, shattering the delicate frame of her precious mp3.
Writhing in anger, she paced her room, shouting to herself, "How dare that idiot cheerleader call me Bigfoot? What makes her so fucking great? I swear, one day I will kill a yeti and send its decapitated head to her god damn doorstep!"
While Eva threw herself off the handle, her phone buzzed pitifully, from all the abuse Eva delivered to it.
Stopping in her tracks, Eva flicked it open and read,
"Hey, want 2 spar? -Randy"
Eva swooned. Her best friend, Randy Morowski, always knew when she would be in an uproar. She grabbed her gym bag and car keys off the kitchen counter, and went out the door, not bothering to inform her parents where she was going. Like they care anyways, she scowled.
Eva was not the scholar they had expected, but a brainless meathead with no future- at least in their eyes. She eventually stopped trying to please them with good grades, because it was driving her insane. They didn't understand. They couldn't.
As she made her way to Sal's, their local gym, Eva thought about Randy. He was beautiful, an esthetic masterpiece. His short haircut showed off his perfect completion, and brought all attention to his tawny eyes.
Again, she smiled.
Randy was lifting some free weights; the muscles that were roped inside his arms bulged with every movement. When Eva walked in, he carelessly dropped the barbells, almost crushing a bystander's foot, and sauntered up to her.
"Wow, you got here fast. Road rage again?"
Eva laughed, "Like always."
Randy motioned for her to follow him, "I got the ring set up in our favorite room!"
Eva grinned, "The one right above the pool, so we can laugh at those dorks trying to hit on that airhead lifeguard?"
"The very one! I actually saw an entire bus-load of guys go in earlier, definitely some drama in store."
That was the great thing about Randy. No matter what, he could lift Eva out of any funk.
As the pair walked off, Eva noticed people in the gym watching them. Some girls looked dreamily after Randy, while others exchanged whispers and snickers towards her. She could practically read their minds, What is that godly boy doing with that mutant of a girl?
Eva pretended, like she always does, that this didn't bother her. She knew why she was with Randy, and that's all that mattered.
...
"Ooh! Okay, good one, Eva." Randy complimented the swift punch to his jaw Eva delivered. Hitting his face was painful for her. Not wanting to mess up anything crucial, she always went easy on him, while still impressing him.
She smirked, "You've been spending too much time knitting, Morowski!"
He just laughed, then grinned wickedly and got her in the gut.
Eva doubled over, falling to the ground.
"Eva!" Randy shouted, and knelt beside his best friend. "Are you- OOF!"
Eva returned the gut punch with equal strength, mirroring his evil smile.
Randy backed away, grinning, "Very clever."
She stood up, "I can't believe you still fall for that!"
He signaled for a pause in their relentless match, "Look, Kelly just rejected another clown."
Kelly was the lifeguard. She was beautiful in every way; perfect figure with luscious blonde hair that framed her flawless face and sparkling blue eyes. Eva knew her, but found she was slightly jealous that Randy did.
She snorted, "Please. She's such a whore, I'm sure she was just informing him of her various STD's."
Randy considered this, "But if she's such a whore, why would she care if she gave him the clap?"
Eva shrugged, "Maybe she was trying to make it sound sexy."
Randy shuddered, "She wouldn't have to try..."
Eva whipped her head towards him, shocked. "What do you mean? You think she's hot?"
Randy looked away, "I'm just saying, maybe you should get to know her."
"What, you do?"
Randy remained silent, watching the scene below them. Kelly laughed along with all the guys crowded around her, accepting a drink. She looked up and noticed the two. Waving, she grinned a big smile at Randy, which he returned.
Eva stepped back; she could feel her heartbeat escalating, and her chest collapsing.
Randy shot her a defensive look, "I was just talking to her today, and she seems pretty cool! I think you would like her!"
Eva decided not to mention that Kelly was the cheerleader who had called her 'Bigfoot' earlier that day.
Feeling as if her heart would drop through the floor any minute, Eva hopped over the ring's enclosing ropes and grabbed her gym bag.
"Later, Morowski!" she called back.
Once she reached her car, Eva delivered a punch to the side of her car, actually denting it. The pain brought tears to her eyes, but at least she now had a reasonable reason to cry.
