And I'm back with another chapter of Tired of Good. Missed me much? I thought so. Anyways, I'll apologize for not updating The Midnight Man. The reason for so is because I got kicked out of the library (Long story. I'm pretty sure you'll ask why, oz101. I blame the librarian.) and so therefore, disabling me from finishing chapter 5. Sorry! *spoiler alert* There may be some very slight Tobecky in this chapter. May be. And some cursing.
Anyways, as usual, I hope you read, enjoy and review and I'll see you at the end of the chapter.
Chapter Two: Then Friends, Now Foes, Then Foes, Now Friends
Today was Monday. Ugh. I hated Mondays. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out and on the screen it read;
Hey, Beck. Where are you? It's me Violet, BTW.
I pressed delete. I looked around for a certain blonde.
"Looking for someone, Botsford?" A British accent said behind me.
"There you are Tobey." I said turning around to face him. Or at least, face his chest. Somehow, over the past few years he had grown taller than me. I looked up at him.
"Did you do what I asked you to do?" He asked.
"You know I did. I almost got in trouble with my parents- that Otto man saw me leave my house. But I had some help from my brother, fortunately." I said.
He smiled. "Good,good."
"Did you do what I asked you to do?" I asked him.
He nodded, still smiling. "I, Tobey McCallister the Third, welcome you, Becky Botsford, to the Villain Association."
"Oh, please. I'm only your assistant." I said to him.
"But I don't think you plan to be an assistant for long, Botsford." He said.
He knew me very well. I winked at him. "You got me there, McCallister."
"Well, you always have been the one to aspire for more."
"That's me alright. Well, did you do Mr. Blofish's essay?" I asked him, changing the subject.
His face told me everything. "Essay?"
I rolled my eyes. "You really need to start paying attention in class. But here," I told him, taking out a sheet of paper titled, Greek Mythology: The Tale of Odysseus. "I knew that you wouldn't do it, so I took the liberty of doing it for you." I said, handing him the paper.
He took it gratefully. "Thank you Becky."
I shrugged. "Anything for a friend."
"You mean boss?"
"Yeah, sure, boss. Well, we better hurry up or we'll miss Mr. Tall trying to reach his glasses that we left on the top shelf."
Later that day at lunchtime…
"I got an A+ on my essay!" Tobey was saying.
"You're welcome Tobey."
"Thank you, Becky. Now my assistant, are you going to eat that soy butter and jelly sandwich?"
I pushed the tray towards him, and he grabbed the sandwich greedily.
"How can you like that stuff?" I asked him.
"How can you not? It's just only the best thing on this planet!" He said. Or at least, what I think he said. I couldn't really understand him because he had stuffed half the sandwich in his mouth before he spoke.
He swallowed. "Apart from chocolate and ice cream, of course. But I hold my ground. These sandwiches are absolutely scrumptious."
I shook my head. "I beg to differ. They are so unpalatable it's surprising it isn't inedible."
He wolfed down the rest of the sandwich and held up a finger.
'Hey! Beck! Yoo-hoo! Over here! Beck! Becky!" A very distant voice said. Ugh. Violet. I pretended I couldn't hear and ignored her. My phone vibrated in my pocket. Tobey raised his eyebrows at me. I sighed and took my phone out.
Hey. It's me Vi. I'm sorry about what happened last month, but-
I pressed delete.
"She's not going to stop bothering you until you talk to her, you know. Go and talk to her. I'll wait here. Oh, and ask her for her sandwich, please. I don't think she's going to eat it, and I hate seeing such good food going to waste."
I rolled my eyes. "Fine."
"Thanks Becky."
"You're welcome. Be right back." I said to him. I got up and walked to the table where Violet and Scoops were sitting.
"Hi, Becky!" A cheerful Violet said.
"What do you want?" I asked harshly.
"Looks like somebody got off the wrong side of bed today." Scoops commented.
"Shut the f**k up, Todd. I wasn't talking to you."
"Becky! No need to be so aggressive!" Violet gasped, surprised at my foul language.
"I don't care, Violet. I'll talk however the f**k I want, whenever I want to, to whomever I want."
"If this is about what happened last month, then I'm sorry, Becky." Violet apologized.
"It's too late to say sorry. And stop acting like everything is okay between us because it isn't." I said angrily.
"But it can be. It can be like before. Us three, laughing and having fun." Violet said.
"No, Violet. It can't be and it won't be like before. You betrayed me."
"It wasn't my fault! I had no other choice!"
"There was! You just were to selfish to see it!" My voice raised.
"You know, Tobey's been such a bad influence on you. Where's that girl I used to know? The one who-"
"That girl's long gone! And Tobey has nothing to do with me changing. If anything, he has been a better friend than you have ever been!" I yelled. "You know what? I hate you."
Violet gasped. Tears were forming in her eyes. Scoops stood up and glared at me. I just smiled, but inside, I felt a part of me die.
"Good-bye forever, b***h." I said, blinking the tears that were forming in my eyes. I turned on my heel and walked back to the table were Tobey and me were sitting. He just stared at me, astonished.
"What?"
He took out a piece of paper and a pen and started to write. He handed me the paper. It read,
So... My sandwich?
I broke into a smile, the sourness of the argument with my previous friends forgotten. I walked to the other side of the table where he was sitting and gave him a tight hug. He turned an adorable shade of red. "Your stomach is truly a bottomless pit." I told him in his ear.
"Hey, I'm hungry!" He protested.
"Well, look at this." I said, dropping my arms to my side. A boy walked by, tray in hand. I snatched the sandwich from his tray and gave it to Tobey. The boy didn't notice and kept on walking.
Tobey hungrily took a bite and gave me a muffled 'thank you'. Another bite and the sandwich was gone.
"You're welcome." I told him. "So, do you have anything that you need help on or…?"
"Now that you mention it, there is a new ice cream store in town. I would like you to accompany me. That is if you don't mind."
" Are you paying?" I asked him.
"If I say I am, will you say yes?" Tobey said.
"Yes." The bell rang.
"Then I am."
"Okay." I said. "Well, let's hurry up, PE class is waiting for us."
"Do we have to?" Tobey whined.
"Not really. How fast can you build robot clones for us?"
"I'd thought you'd never ask."
A/N:
Cursing: There was some cursing in this chapter. Originally, I wasn't going to omit some of the letters, but out of respect to other people who find cursing offensive-which it is-I did. I'll try to keep the swearing minimal-I like my writing clean-and censor the words if there is any swear words.
Anyways, what do you think about Tobey and Becky being friends now? Please review, I love hearing/reading what you think. :D
