Chapter 6: Gossip and Rumors reaches Tracy
Link Larkin was running a little late to pick up Tracy. Tracy was sitting in the kitchen worried because he was so late.
" I wish he would hurry up already I hate sitting in this house, mom don't understand anything," she mumbled to her self.
Link pulled up at her house at 8:11 usually he is there by 7:45 maybe 5 after sometimes, but never this late.
"hey doll ," Link greeted
"hey Trace," Seaweed also greeted.
"I did not know that you was going to be picking up Seaweed Link," Tracy replied with a surprised look on her face.
"Sorry Trace I was so late But my dad kicked me out the other day, so it took me longer to get to your house I just wasn't prepared for it babe," Link answered.
"Oh my God! Why did your dad kick you out? So you staying with Seaweed wow your dad is so mean Seaweed thanks for being a great friend," Tracy said looking concerned and worried about the way things were going.
"Anytime," Seaweed answered.
They spent the rest of the ride to school discussing their family problems and stuff.
They pulled up in the Patterson Park High School parking lot seeing everyone, it was strange because when they got out the car some giggling and whispers were heard and it seemed awkward that it was directed towards Tracy and Link.
"Link how is it boning a negro girl," some random dude whispered to Link. Link pushed that guy to the ground.
"What the hell you talking about idiot," Link yelled. Everyone was giggling and shouting out stupid comments.
"Yeah Tracy I can't believe you're still with him after that bastard did what he did to you," Lou Anne
Spat. "what did he do to me and what are you guys talking about?" Tracy asked full of confusion. "Well I heard that Link slept with Juanita," Fender replied. "What!" Tracy yelled. "And he got her pregnant!" Vicki laughed! "That's why his dad kicked him out!" Joey laughed. "You didn't think that Link would be faithful to you did you?" " You are fat!" "You fat disgusting cow!" "If I was Link I would rather sleep with a negro than you bubble ass!" "You big tub of lard!" Amber yelled while laughing. Tracy growled and stormed off towards Link and while she was walking to him she saw Juanita from a distance hugging her man. Tracy screamed out of anger And went to class. Tracy was sitting at her desk trying to focus on something other than the rumors she was hearing about her man who apparently did have something going on with that wench Juanita someone tapped Tracy and passed her a note. When Tracy opened the letter she saw a little sketch of Juanita pregnant and Link holding her hand while she was off to the side with a big X covering her body.
And the note said Tracy you're crossed out black is in fat is out! Tracy was screaming she balled the paper up and threw it at the persons' face who gave it to her. "TRACY TURNBLAD!" Ms. Whimsy yelled. Tracy stood up and went to Ms. Whimsy desk. "Just give me the detention slip Bitch!" Tracy yelled.
"That's detention tomorrow too and I'm calling your mother!" Ms. whimsy yelled in shock.
"Call her I don't care!" Tracy retorted, Snatching the slip and walking out the class room.
Meanwhile Link was in class pissed off because everybody keep talking and looking at him funny and he don't know why. "RUFF RUFF LINK! RUFF RUFF LINK!" Joey laughed while he continued to chant. "BARKIN LARKIN!!! RUFF RUFF LINK!" Joey ranted on. Link went off he hit Joey in the head with his text book he pushed Joey to ground and flipped the desk over. "WHAT THE FUCK! WHY IS EVERYBODY LOOKING AT ME WHY IS EVERY FUCKEN BODY LAUGHING AT ME WHO THE FUCK YOU GUYS THINK YOU ARE JOEY IMMA BEAT YO ASS AFTER SCHOOL!" Link looks in his desk there was a picture with his face and a dog's body. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!" "MR. LARKIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Mr. Williams yelled. SHUT THE FUCK UP IM NOT FINISHED YET! Link yelled. The females in the classroom were laughing.
ITS NOT FUCKEN FUNNY WHORES! Link sneered. "Link CALM DOWN," Seaweed said. "FUCK YOU! FUCK EVERYBODY! FUCK THAT SHOW I HATE YOU I HATE EVERY FUCKEN BODY!"
"LINK!" IQ yelled. "FUCK YOU!" Link snapped. Link grabbed his hair and took a few deep breaths. Seaweed grabbed Link and helped him to a seat, Link was so red his chest was burning, he was sweating and he was very dizzy he felt very sick. Link got up and took the detention slip and went to detention, Seaweed, Joey and IQ also went. IQ was feeling really nervous and guilty because he had called Fender and spread that awful rumor, so he stopped Seaweed by the boys bathroom and asked if he could talk to him in private. "Man I screwed up I think I just ruined my friend's life," IQ stated. "Man what you talking about?" Seaweed asked. "Man you know when I asked to use your phone that other day?" IQ asked. "Yeah?" Seaweed asked. "Well I called Fender.. And I kind of told him about Link and Juanita and… you know how they was dancing that other day, I told him they was dancing and they were close and it looked like they liked each other I swear that's all I said that's all that's it!" " And now everybody think Link got Juanita pregnant and he left Tracy for her!" " WHAT!" Seaweed yelled while grabbing IQ by the shirt and ramming him into the wall! "WHAT THE HELL YOU DO THAT FOR?" " YOU ARE SO STUPID!" Seaweed sneered ramming him against the wall again. "Do Tracy know?" "Yeah they told her this morning." IQ breathed out. " I swear mutherfuckers like you are so clueless!" Seaweed yelled. "I'm telling Link what the fuck you did!" Seaweed said as he stormed off. Seaweed went to find Link but he couldn't find him. Link left school for a while to calm down. Lunch had past and Link was still no where to be found. Tracy was pissed because she didn't see Link or Juanita and it just made the rumors seem more true, but Juanita had went home early because she was experiencing monthly misery really bad, her cramps were killing her. Tracy didn't want to be bothered so she hid in the school's basement. Tracy begin to cry as she thought about what happened she stayed there for awhile and missed half of her 5th period class. She had prepared her self for the drama in Mr. Flak class. People were still giggling about the rumors. Amber decided to doodle a picture of Tracy as a pig and wrote in the note that's why Link left you because you are a pig. Tracy read the note and balled it up and threw it in Amber's face and retorted, "And he left you because you are a whore!" "Amber, Tracy what are you doing!" Mr. Flak asked. "None of your business titty man!" Amber replied. "Well both of you guys got detention, you too Lou Anne, Shelley, Tammy and Becky all of you get out you guys been nothing but a distraction!" Mr. Flak retorted. "By the way anybody seen Mr. Larkin?" Mr. Flak asked. "He's up your ass!" Paulie said. Everyone started cracking up. "Yeah tits on man" Fender added. "Ok that's enough Paulie, Fender, Bix get out go to detention." Everyone was going to get their detention slips as Tracy took hers she said, "I didn't draw that picture the other day but you do got tit's they bigger than mine!' everyone was laughing really hard including Amber. Everyone got in well almost everyone when Amber got to the door… "nuh uh you can't come in here!" Jerome replied "why who the hell are you?" Amber retorted. "I'm Jerome and I said you can't come in here simple as that you don't like it do something!" "Fine!" Amber replied as she walked off. Amber went to the bathroom and slammed the door and leaned against the wall. Three girls was in there smoking some cigarettes. "get out!" one of them said. "NO!" Amber yelled " Gimme that cigarette!" Amber said snatching it from the girl. Amber begin smoking it and choking the girls started laughing. "You're such a crybaby!" one of the girls replied laughing. "With your big baby doll dress and your two little pig tails you're such a wimp!" two of the girls stated. "Here this is how you smoke it."
Now it was sixth period Link showed up to Mr. Flak class ten minutes until the bell rang.
"Mr. Larkin you are extremely late go to detention," Mr. Flak said handing him a slip. Link snatched the slip from him saying, "Go get a breast reduction asshole!" the remaining kids started laughing. Link went to detention. When Link was opening the door he heard Tracy telling everyone, "Don't talk to me don't say shit to me none of you guys I thought you all was my friends especially you Seaweed, " "but Trace-" Seaweed was cut off. "SHUT UP I'M SICK OF THIS!" Tracy yelled. Then everyone was quiet and was looking up at Link, Tracy turned around and saw Link smiling at her which infuriated her even more. Tracy got up and exit the classroom. On her way out, Tracy stopped in front of Link and slapped him hard as she could. "YOU LYING BASTARD IT'S OVER!" Link stood there motionless wondering what he did to Tracy to be slapped and dumped in front of all his friends. "Link you okay?" Seaweed asked. Link said nothing. " I have to talk to you after detention" The bell rang Link and Seaweed was walking to Link's car. "Where have you been I been looking for you all damn day yeah um it's been hacka rumors going on that you got Juanita pregnant and left Tracy for her, and that's why Tracy dumped you!'' Seaweed told him. "WHAT!" Link replied. Link was furious all over again. "Yeah uh remember the other day when we got suspended, yeah IQ had called and uh told Fender and them all this stuff about you and Juanita," Seaweed finished. "IMA KICK HIS ASS!" Link yelled as ran and kicked the school doors open Seaweed was running too to keep up with him. Link seen Joey out side laughing so he thought Joey was still talking about him Link walked up to Joey and said, "I owe you an ass whopping," Link punched Joey in the eye and slammed and kicked him, Joey was on the ground and knocked out in pain. "WHERE THE FUCK IS HE IMMA KICK HIS ASS?" Link yelled. "He left!" Shelley slightly yelled. Link ran to his car so did Seaweed and Link pulled off really fast Seaweed was not all the way in the car. Everyone else ran and got in their cars also ready to see what was going to happen, so most of the council followed. Link was on his way to IQ house to kick his ass for putting him through all that bullshit. When Link got to IQ house he bamed on the door IQ's mother answered the door. "Hello Link." She said. "IS IQ HERE!" Link yelled. "Sure dear let me get him." she said cautiously. "IQ your friends are here." "Ok mother." IQ said getting up to go see who's at the door.
IQ opened the door and saw Link with his shirt off, hair all sweated out and face red. Link looked like an enraged crazy man. "I'm so sor-" IQ was cut off Link had pulled IQ out the house and started punching him all in his face, IQ was on the ground and everyone was yelling things like, "FIGHT YEAH KICK HIS ASS!" "GET THE FUCK UP AND FIGHT WIMP!" Link yelled. "I don't wanna fight Link!" IQ said in fear. Link punched IQ in his stomach very hard and he bend down and grabbed his stomach. "oow why you doing this to me I said I was sorry," IQ asked "SORRY!" Link yelled and then slammed him to the ground.
"GET UP AND FIGHT BITCH!" Link snapped. " FUCK THIS I'M MAD NOW!" IQ retorted as he charged at Link. As IQ was coming Link drop kicked him. IQ was on the ground in a lot of pain he was dizzy but he started getting back up to fight he started just swinging and missing. IQ's mother opened the door and saw what was going on and said, "Oh my God!" Then IQ was punched in his right cheek and knocked out. Link went and got in his car and drove off. " Why he beat my son up like this?" IQ mom asked with tears in her eyes. " Because he started a lot of drama at school and made Link get kicked out his house." Tammy replied "Oh really what he do?" she asked " He spreaded a rumor saying that Link got Juanita pregnant that negro girl who's on the show that does the JB dance really good and Link's dad is an alcoholic so I guess he kicked him out and everyone was teasing Link and Tracy today and Tracy dumped Link in front of the whole School," Tammy answered. Tammy really didn't know why Link got kicked out, so she assumed that was the reason. IQ was getting up off the ground he was swollen, two black eyes, a purple lip and a swollen cheek not to mention the bruises on his chest and back. IQ sighed. "IQ how could you be so simple minded, why did you do all those horrible things to your friends?" his mom asked. "I did not say all that stupid stuff I just said that they was dancing like the liked each other," IQ told her, " I told Fender and he the one that probably blew that shit out off proportion!" "Well go fix this!" his mom said. "Alright mom," IQ said.
Tracy was furious walking all the way home by her self, she begin to talk to her self, "ugh why is this happening to me, I hate that school, I hate those stupid ass kids too, most of all I hate Link he is such a dog, I can't believe he cheated on me!" "hey!" that man that flashes people said as he flashed her. Bam! Tracy kicked him hard as she could in his nuts. "bet you want moon anybody else!" she stated. She walked pass that store and saw the drunk bum he waved at her and Tracy flipped him off and stormed off. "FUCK BALTIMORE!" Tracy yelled. Tracy finally made it home soon as she got home her mother started jabbering about teachers calling her all day. "TRACY EDNA TURNBLAD !" "several of your tea- Edna was cut off "I DON'T CARE I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS I HAD A FUCKED UP DAY I DON'T FEEL LIKE HEARING SHIT!" "So whatever you gotta say, say while on my way to room," Tracy snapped while storming to her room. " Your teachers called me toda-" Tracy slammed her room door.
"You kicked his ass man!" Seaweed yelled. "Man did you see his eyes?" Seaweed asked. " I don't feel like talking about it." Link replied. "Whatever man I didn't do nothing to you I tried to help." Seaweed retorted.
"Well if I don't wanna fucken talk about it then I don't wanna fucken talk!" Link snapped. "Fine Fuck it" Seaweed retorted. Link left out of Maybelle's house and sat in his car to prevent from going off on his friends. Link knew that would be stupid and petty if he got mad at Seaweed just for helping him.
"Link cheated on me and got a baby on the way and all this stuff," Tracy was telling her mother.
"I'm so sorry Tracy I knew he was a crooner," Edna replied. Tracy was crying and sobbing really hard.
"Ma I'm sorry for cursing and yelling, this is really getting to me ma, he got kicked out his house because of all this and Seaweed knew all alone he was letting them sleep together all at his house I hate all those people that go to that school ma, what I suppose to do?" Tracy was saying as the door bell rang. "Hold on hon let me get the door." "If it is Link tell him to go to hell!" "Who's there," Edna asked "It's IQ," Edna opened the door and saw IQ all beat up and swollen. "Hello Mrs. Turnblad may I please come in?" IQ asked with a plead look on his face. "Sure hon what happened are you ok come in and let me get you some ice," she said looking concerned. IQ went in the living room,(Tracy gasped) Tracy was shocked to see how messed up his face looked. "Fucked up day too what happened?" Tracy asked as Edna gave him the towel with ice in it. "Thanks," he said and started talking back to Tracy.
"Uh yeah that's way I'm here, uh I need to talk to you, I kinda started this rumor about
Link and Juanita, um they were dancing together at Seaweed's, Seaweed was teaching us a new dance, and I called some people and told them about how I thought they liked each other and how they both was missing from the party, but then after I made the call I felt stupid because Juanita was with Rhonda and the rest of her friends and Link was with Seaweed, I guess when we got back to school on Thursday, everybody had added their own theories and lies to the rumor and everyone was talking shit about you guys, and Link went the fuck off he tore up a classroom, kicked Joey's ass and came to my house and beat my ass in front of everybody: the whole school…damn I'm still mad put I fucked up, I should have never called people telling them bogus stuff, Tracy I am really sorry for what I did to you guys," IQ said sincerely.
Tracy was motionless, but furious all at the same time. Tracy stood up and punched IQ in his face he fell to the ground. "Fuck you!" Tracy spat. "Tracy that was not nice that poor guy already got beaten," Edna said
"Get the fuck out," "I don't believe you any way!" Tracy snapped. "I said I was sorry you and your boyfriend is so stubborn ," IQ retorted as he left. "Tracy hon I don't think that he was lying, kids do those kind of things maybe you should hear him out and talk to Link and the rest of your friends," Edna advised her. "Maybe I shouldn't ma you don't understand," Tracy replied. "Fine hon I just don't want you to be upset like this if it can be prevented," Edna told her. "I'll be ok mother thanks," Tracy told her.
Meanwhile Link was sitting in his car thinking about Tracy and how much he missed her. "Damn how could Trace believe such bullshit, she know that I love her and I would never do any thing to hurt her." Link told himself. "That's fucked up how mutherfuckers ruined our relationship I got to get her back." "How the fuck could she not trust me?"
Link decided to go back in to Seaweed's house and talk, he knew Seaweed was a very honest friend and that he could trust Seaweed. "ay uh Seaweed can I talk to you for a minute?" Link asked "Yeah cracker boy what's up?" Seaweed asked. " Man I just wanted to say thanks for being a honest friend and I am really sorry for being an asshole your probably the best friend that I got the only one that I can trust, the only one that don't talk about me behind my back so thanks man." Link told his friend. "It's cool cracker boy!" Seaweed responded patting Link on his shoulder.
"Man I really need to talk to Tracy she want ever hear me out, What the fuck did I do to deserve all this bullshit?" Link asked "Man how about I drive you over there to talk to her," Seaweed suggested. "She's not about to talk to me," Link murmured. "Well that's the only way you just gotta go and try at least cracker boy," Seaweed also exclaimed. "Damn it quit calling me cracker boy I hate that shit it sounds so damn racist Seaweed!" Link snapped. "Damn Link it's just a name I call you, I don't know why you so damn fuck up let's just go to Tracy's house," Seaweed retorted. "Alright," Link simply said leaving it at that. At that they got in the car and Seaweed drove Link to Tracy's house. The two young men got out the car and knocked on the door. "Hello Link, Seaweed," "Hello Mrs. Turnblad," they greeted in unison. "You guys really need to come in and talk with Tracy I've never seen her so angry you guys got to fix this," Edna reasoned. "Well that's why I am here," Link assured her as she invited them in. "Tracy you have company," Edna said. Tracy came out her room to see Link looking pitiful like he had lost his best friend, his face was red, from his blood boiling all damn day. Seaweed was looking sad too, but Tracy turned around and headed back for her room that's when Link ran up to her and grabbing her arm. "Baby doll please talk to me." Link pleaded. "why should I?" Tracy asked. "Because we need to talk all this stuff you heard is lies" Link stated "I did nothing wrong IQ lied and told someone that bullshit!" Link yelled. "Well I'm sick of everybody talking about me so you should just go back to Amber" Tracy spat. "Better yet go take care of your pregnant mistress!" Tracy brutally added. "Fuck Tracy! Tracy sometimes you can be so fucken stupid!" "You believe everything people fucken say!" Link began ranting on. "You believe when people tell you your fat!" "You're so insecure!" " you think just because people call you fat that nobody can love you or find you attractive" " But I love you I like the way you look I like your body! and if I didn't, I wouldn't want to be with you. but your to fucken stupid to realize that!"
Link retorted as he stormed down the stairs pissed of mad at her. He couldn't believe his ears when he heard her say all these foolish things. Seaweed sat there looking at Tracy while tears begin to fall from her round face. "Tracy you know Link wouldn't do all those stupid petty things to you, you guys need to get it together, and I can't believe that you think I would let something like that happen in my house! I am not a traitor like that you guys are some of my best friends," Seaweed told her hoping it will help the situation.
"I'm sorry Seaweed I don't know what the hell came over me." "I hope Link would forgive me," she sobbed to Seaweed. "Me too" Seaweed added. "Ima go get him for you," Seaweed said as he ran down the stairs. "Ok thanks," she said sounding relieved. "Link come in and talk to Trace," Seaweed yelled. "What!" Why," Link asked looking at Seaweed like he was stupid. "She's crying she said she was sorry and that she hopes that you would forgive her for not believing you," Seaweed informed him. "You sure man, don't be bull shitting with me," Link responded. "I'm sure come on," Seaweed said as he pulled Link's arm lending him back to the stairs. Link went up the stairs feeling bad for the hurtful things that he had said to Tracy a few moments ago, but he also felt relieved because he was sure that he was going to get his baby doll back. Soon as they both seen each other they embrace each other in a loving passionate huge. They were both speechless as they continued to embrace each other.
