Four hours before incident…
GIRL'S BATHROOM
"Misty, that denim skirt, looks so fab on you." Dawn commented whilst applying a fresh coat of mascara on.
"Awwww thanks," said Misty Waterflower as she soothed out the wrinkles on her white, halter neck top, "I thought I was having a bad ass day."
Dawn rolled her eyes, "as if you could have one."
"Aaaah but when you say that it makes me even more self conscience…you always say nice things to everyone…even to Zack of all people. You and Ash are like-"she paused briefly before continuing, "-Switzerland. Both of you remain neutral for everything, never taking sides and always nice to everyone", Misty pouted with a slight sigh; "teach me how to be like you."
"You know my mother always says be who you are and be happy."
Misty slumped against the bathroom door, "ok then teach me how to be me and less… not me."
There was an awkward silence for a brief second before Dawn scratched her head in confusion, "Huh you are not making any sense babe. Now come on! I want to get this day over and done with so we can party! God I love the holidays, can you believe this is the last day of school before summer vacation?"
Misty never answered. She merely nodded her head and mumble under her breath, "Yeh I never make any sense to myself anyway," before swinging her purse over her shoulder and heading out with the ever so ecstatic Dawn, towards the cafeteria.
It was true, ever since Misty could remember she would always live life according to other people's expectations. She was not the person she pretended to be. It was a façade, a mask, a fake personality she created for herself to be accepted into the popularity group. Sometimes she just wanted to be herself but she'd always chicken out, afraid that her friends would laugh at her and throw her out of the group. High school was all about survival of the fittest as far as Misty knew, if you were at the bottom of the food chain nobody wanted to know you and everybody wanted to pick on you. However, there was one personality that Misty had that she found she could keep around her friends, without losing her rank as one of the most popular girls in the school. Something that was real, because it was a part of who she was. Her ego.
Misty was so caught up in her thoughts that she bumped into someone rather harshly. A cold and slimy feeling stuck to her stomach. When she looked down at her white halter neck top all she could do was gasp. The person she bumped into had dropped chocolate pudding all over her white top. At first Misty thought, hey, this is my fault I'm the one who bumped into him, but then she caught sight of her friends at a table close by and she froze.
On reflex she she pushed the skinny nerd away, who was apologizing and trying to clean the chocolate off of the famous Misty Waterflower's stomach, and said with narrowed eyes,"Get off me you little worm."
"B…But… I…I…you bumped into me." The boy said feebly.
"You heard her pipsqueak, get off her and pay up for a new top." Misty turned around to Zack her current asshole of a boyfriend, who came forward until he was towering over the poor boy.
"Leave him alone Zack…Your red headed wench was the one who bumped into him, so she can buy herself a new top." A boy dressed in jogging pants and an oversized hoodie said as he suddenly appeared out from the crowd that gathered around them.
Misty recognized this guy's voice, it was the same deep husky one that always sent shivers down her spine, but she could never get his name right. This boy was ordinary looking. Skinny and not well built. Moreover, he always wore clothes that looked like he never made and effort in the morning when he woke up. He had an ego as big as hers, but he also had a neck for finding trouble and getting the shit beaten out of him. He had no rank in this school, he wasn't a nerd and he wasn't a popular guy. He was not even a neutral.
"Aaaah," said Zack with a taunting laugh, "If it isn't the dog that has all bark and no bite. Gary… do you really want to get into this? Have you forgotten all the other times I beat your ass up and now you want more?"
Gary kept quiet, shrinking backwards slightly from the icy cold sneer plastered on Zack's face.
"Mummy and Daddy still dead, are they?" Zack continued his ruthless taunting, and each word that spewed from his mouth hit deep in Gary's gut, "They couldn't be bothered to stay alive for you, could they?"
Misty felt as though her skeleton vibrated out her body with the sudden rush of anger she felt, she wanted to do something…to say something, but alas her mouth remain shut.
"Do you guys know that this boy cries like a little girl every time I hit him?" Zack laughed out to the gathered crowd, whilst he circled around Gary like a predator stalking its prey, before invading his space until he was practically breathing down Gary's neck, "Look at you, a wimp, yet again you can't do anything because you're frozen in fear. It's pathetic…oooorphan." He whispered the last word venomously, breathing coldly into Gary's ear. Gary could feel his heart plummeting and then soaring.
BAM!
He pounced unto Zack and began swiping at his face as hard as he could in bind fury. His heart all together stopped along with his lungs. Only his brain functioned and it scram to him until his head felt like exploding in anger. He only managed to get a few good punches in before Zack's cronies interfered. In a blink of an eye, the tables were turned and Gary was on his back, getting the stuffing beaten out of him.
"LEAVE HIM HIS MINE!" Zack roared wiping a bit of dirt from his face before grabbing Gary by his collar. WHACK WHACK WHACK each punch that landed in his face tore at Misty's heart. The room was quiet…all except for the sound of Gary's almost soundless whimpering. With one, last kick to the gut Zack spat on Gary's face before dropping him to the floor.
Gary crumpled body twitched and he could feel the merciless bile burning up his throat. I will not cry I will not! He chanted the words in his head.
"Listen here you wimp… You're an orphan and your dam sister was an orphan! DO YOU HEAR THAT HUH HUH!" ZACK kicked him again, showing the crowd what happened to those who thought they were clever enough to challenge him. "Let this be a lesson to all you wimps." In addition, with that he urinated on Gary's unmoving body… with the WHOLE school watching.
Gary knew no one would help him. No one would call a teacher. Just like every other day Gary resented, he shakily picked himself up and limped out the school building. He felt like swearing he felt like punching something. This was his life. He could not, for the life of him, shut up whenever he needed to. Why couldn't he be quiet like the rest of the people at school and stay out of Zack's way? He smirked; ahhh but what would be the fun in that? He knew why he fought with Zack. It was because…he gulped as he felt the tears threatening to surface. A brief flash of his sister's face zoomed in his mind and he banged his fist against the wall. "I will not cry I will not…I swear I …I-"
The tears began to splash heavily down his face and Gary threw himself into his dad's red Toyota Corolla speeding into the distance…before he broke down there and there.
Hour after incident…
Gary had bathe and wrapped his injuries up, but nothing would heal the wounds left by Zack in his heart…or his sister's. He stared at a picture of a beautiful girl with brown hair and eyes, in a small glass frame on his bedside table and smiled weakly, "Sis I I'm sorry you have to see me like this- his voice broke and he nibbled his bottom lip trying to restrain himself, but he could not. One heavy drop after the other poured out of his heart and burned down his cheeks. "I promise you, I will not stop until I have my revenge…for all they've done to you, to me, to our family. I will take revenge and when I do they will regret the day they messed with Gary Oak and his family!" Gary hissed picking up a piece of paper and staring at it with an slightly evil smirk, before banging the page unto his desk, "And I think I'll start with the red haired girl." And with that he traced the bold capital letters that said…
