Chapter 4
What a day today was. I got to see my friend Mindy and she was more than willing to show me the ropes on how to learn how to fight and I got a sense as to what to do in a situation that I might have to endure very soon.
I guess the violence hasn't completely left her. Mindy's mother, Mrs. Williams was able to tell me that she knows how to handle herself in a situation against bullies and other assholes. Plus, Mindy told me that while she kind of hates her late father for what he put her through, at least she knows how to take of herself.
Mrs. Williams and Mindy took me back to my house. She is a very nice woman. Can be a bit tough, though being married to a cop can really be a factor, as well as a positive quality on her part.
I got home. I used my key, but I had to take a peek as to see if there was any funny business going on with my dad, maybe if he had Lucille over like that one time when I walked in on them.
There wasn't any and I was kind of relieved because that was an image I did not want to see that one time.
Anyway, I dropped on my bed, still a little sore from earlier. I don't think that my training was enough to handle myself this week, but at least I still have my heart and pride.
I should be getting some sleep. I have a big week ahead of me. Who knows what this week has in store for me, with my revenge and all.
The next day, I came into school like it was any other day. I was still a little sore and stiff from yesterday, but it wasn't like I couldn't move or anything like that.
I walked through the halls with my friends to be on the look out for Katie or Carl. I have a feeling some shit is about to go down today. But it's not like I am not ready for it.
"You see Katie anywhere?" I asked my friends.
"No." said Todd.
"Nah." said Marty.
"Can't seem to find her." Said Shane.
I wonder if she'll even show up at all. After the amount of views on those pictures and videos, I have my doubts. Hell, from what my friends told me, the amount of attention she got, there was no telling whether or not she would be the same again.
I got in my desk and what do you know, Katie walks in with sunglasses and a hat on. That disguise isn't going to work in my opinion. She lowers her sunglasses and gives me the eye, and I don't mean the good kind of eye. Carl then came in, but without any form of disguise.
I can only sense that they were looking at me from the back. I didn't have to turn around in order to sense it, but now I can only guess that they figure I am behind everything that has happened within the past week.
Lunchtime came, did my usual thing with my friends. Being that this is the week the new comics come out, we were all definitely excited about what is to come in.
"So, Dave, are you looking to get the new Daredevil when it comes out?" said Marty. "I know how into it you were when you read the last issue."
"Hey, there's no other blind man who can be as badass as Daredevil." I said, with a lot of excitement for the new comic. "The guy doesn't need eyes in order to see what's around him."
"So, Dave, how did your visit with your friend Mindy go?" Todd asked, with some curiosity in his voice.
"It went great." I said, with a lot of enthusiasm. "She is one cool girl. She taught me a few tricks of what I need to know in order to defend myself a bit."
"You trying to hit that, Dave?" Marty asked, jokingly.
"Dude, she's fucking 10 or 11!" I said, though I know that they were messing with me.
"So you like little girls, huh Dave?" said Marty, in a joking fashion.
"Man, fuck you guys." I said, in response. "She's just a friend and the girl can kick ass, I am not fucking with you on that. I've seen her fight."
"Whatever you say, Dave." Said Marty.
"Yeah, no comment." Said Todd.
I looked at my friend Shane and he was reading an issue of X-23.
"Say, Shane," I said. "Are you trying to prepare yourself for the next issue?"
"Hell yeah, Dave." Said Shane. "You have no idea how bad this chick is. It's almost as if she is equal to Wolverine. She fucking rocks."
Todd then noticed Katie and company coming to our table.
"Um, Dave?" said Todd, nervously. "We have company."
Oh shit, looks like trouble is about to rise. All I can do in this situation is just act natural and pretend that I know nothing.
Katie then looks at my friends.
"I would like to speak to Dave, alone." Said Katie, with a venomous scowl on her face.
I haven't seen her this mad since the time I revealed my true feelings to her. But in any other case, this is nothing new to me.
"Guys, just go." I said, with a bit of determination. "I'll catch up with you guys later."
My friends then walk off. All three of them looked worried, so all they can do is just go to the doorway and watch what is about to happen.
"Carl, Erika, Abigail." Said Katie. "This is just between me and Dave. I'll catch up with all of you later."
"You sure about this, Katie?" Carl asked.
"Yes, you three go on ahead." Katie said, she gave them the signal to go.
Katie then looks at me with a lot of anger.
"I want to know something, Dave, and I want to know NOW." Said Katie, with a lot of venom. "Did you post some videos and pictures on the internet?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said, without hesitation.
"You know what the fuck I am talking about. Those pictures and videos I sent you." Said Katie, with more anger burning inside of her.
"No, I can't say that I do." I said, calmly. "Can you jog my memory?"
Katie then grabbed the collar of my shirt.
"Look, you asshole." Said Katie, this time pointing at me. "Give me your phone!"
I went through my pocket and handed her my phone. She looked through my inbox.
"What the fuck?" Katie shouted. "How can this be?"
Only for her to find out that those messages were gone. I said I would be ready for this week.
"You deleted those fucking messages, didn't you?" Exclaimed Katie, with so much anger and emotion in her eyes.
"Oh, THOSE messages." I said, so slyly. "I had forgotten about those messages. My inbox was getting clogged. So I just deleted some of the more useless messages."
"I can't believe this shit." Said Katie. "You know how fucked up my life is right now? I can't go anywhere without being asked to suck a guy's cock. I am being treated like a prostitute or something."
I don't know if I should feel bad for her or what, but in this case, I feel somewhat bad, but at the same time, I actually feel good about my work. Is she trying to crack me? In a way, the only reason I feel bad about doing this is because I still have some feelings for her, but at the same time, she is getting what she deserves for sending me those multimedia messages.
She is crying her eyes out. Now I didn't what to do in that moment. Could she be crying because she felt her dignity and pride have been destroyed? Or is she crying because she felt that she made the biggest mistake in trying to fuck with me?
Either way, I am not going to do anything about this. Part of me feels that she wants me to crack and feel bad for her so that she'll try to humiliate me in some other way. The other part is that if I try to act like it doesn't mean shit, then I would be looked at as some insensitive prick. I am an asshole, I know that. But in this situation, I lose either way.
"You know that this is your fault, right?" said Katie, trying to wipe off her tears.
"How is it my fault?" I said.
"If you hadn't put that shit on the internet, I wouldn't have all this happening to me." Said Katie, though a little calmer than before.
"If you hadn't kept sending me those messages, then I wouldn't have done what I did." I said. "Did you ever think of that?"
"Wait, what?" said Katie, still trying to wipe the tears from eyes.
"Let's just put it this way." I said, with so much confidence in me. "I understand the fact that you went off on me, you were right for doing that. Shit, you were right to have Carl fuck me up. But you were wrong for sending me those fucking pictures and videos. You wanted to make me miserable. Now I see who is more miserable."
Carl started to come towards me and Katie at that point. He tried to comfort her, help her ease her pain.
"This isn't over, Dave." Said Carl, pointing at me. "This is not over by a fucking long shot, you hear?"
By the end of the school day, I thought to myself as to whether I was right or wrong for what I did. Many people say that revenge is bad no matter what the circumstances, but other people believe that if someone won't stop tormenting someone, there has to be retaliation.
All I can say that despite what I did, this situation isn't over yet. Besides, I am starting to think that Carl really wants to get me. Especially since I ruined Katie's reputation, but it seems apparent that Carl will want to fight me really soon. I will be ready.
