4. Ouch!
"OUCH!"
"Seriously...when are you ever gonna learn?"
"I said stop it—OUCHIEE! Seriously Eli, STOP THIS! Is this supposed to make me feel better!?"
"Uh…yeah?"
"Well then, IT ISN'T! IT HURTS EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE!"
THIS was a conversation between Magnolia orphanage's number one troublemaker, Gray Fullbuster and the ever sweet, bubbly ward, Elisca while the brunette was attempting to treat the rascal's newly acquired wounds.
"Seriously, Gray…" the brunette trailed off while putting some ointment on Gray's HUGE bump. "You gotta stop this! You can't just let your ass kicked like that now and then! This is the third time this week!" she stated as she got up from her earlier position and went to the cupboard to get some band aids.
"If the two of you keep pulling off stunts like this for the rest of your time here, than YOU Mister, are gonna get seriously hurt and I—" she pointed towards the empty container on her hand "—am gonna run outta medicines! I mean, come on! You think you're the only kid around here who gets hurt!?
Gray raised an eyebrow.
"Oh! You thought you're the only kid here that she's ever beaten up?" Eli answered before Gray could ask.
"Well, for your information you're not the first one. I don't know why but all the newbie here always end up winding up in some random spar with her. She's always so lonely, so distant. I wonder why?"
Oh…I dunno. Maybe it got something to do with her bitchy attitude?!
"I mean, she's such a nice lil' girl."
Bubblehead says what?
"She has always appreciated my cooking...unlike some other ungrateful rascals I happen to know." She said while glaring at Gray from the corner of her eyes.
Ewww…YUCK!
Gray shuddered at the thought that a sane person could possibly admire Eli's cooking.
Over the past few weeks he's known the redhead, one thing he knew for sure. And that is- He Hated Her!
They're first encounter had been…awkward. First, he bumps into her, on the sec they're eyes met he's dazed followed by complete confusion and then instead of apologizing she hits him and scram just like that.
And that was just enough to piss him off.
After meeting the crude redhead, Gray totally forgot about his previous escape plans. Instead of making schemes for escape, the number one priority of his to-do-list had become taking revenge for what she'd done to him.
At first he attempted to attack her straight forward. Obviously thinking something like—'Heh, there's no way that puny little brat's gonna be able to fight back!'
But apparently, the same puny lil' brat beat him up to a bloody pulp.
Failing in his first attempt of revenge, he forced himself to use his brain for once in his life and planned out the perfect ambush attack. Yet, again—Failed.
Plus, he ended up falling inside he's own pitfall. But that sure didn't get him depressed. Instead he got even desperate about his revenge plan. So, even after conking out again and again he didn't give up and now at his third week at the orphanage, he was still at it.
"I'll admit she could be a bit cocky from time to time—" the brunette's voice bought him back to reality.
A bit?
"-but she's always been like that. Usually after getting beaten up by her once or twice, the rascals like you usually back off. I think you should do the same. I'm telling you, she'll beat the your-know-what outta you if you get her to pissed. Oh wait, Oops! she already did." She said seeming almost happy.
Upon seeing the teen's excitement about how the redhead beats him up, Gray felt his anger rise to the level of infinity.
"No way in hell I'll give up! I'm not losing to that freak!"
"Stop calling her a freak. She got a name ya know." She said. When she saw the rascal fidgeting in his seat uncomfortably it hit her and her eyes widened in realization.
"Oh gosh! I can't believe you don't even know her name! and yet, you're already obsessed with her?! she asked Gray while chuckling over her latest discovery.
"For all I care what the heck her name is! I just wanna settle the score!"
"Oh sorry. Right, you're not obsessed with her. You're head over heels for her!" she joked while grinning slyly.
GROSS!
"SHUDDUP! Gray shouted out while blushing lightly and looking completely flustered.
"Alright! I was kidding!" the teen rose up her arms in surrender. "Seriously, though…" she started again when Gray calmed down a bit. "You shouldn't spar like that, Gray. We're all family here."
This time unable to hold his composure Gray Busted out while slamming his fisted hand on the table in front of him. "THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I'M EVER GONNA ACCEPT THAT BRAT AS MY FAMILY!"
With that said Gray ran out of the room with one thought in mind.
I'll show you. I'm comin' to get ya , Freak!
