You did it, you fucking did it, you finally got your ass handed to you. The day started out like any other: get to school early, hang out with Valerie, give her a doughnut from the dozen you bought after you got off the bus, talk to some other randoms, and head to class, this is a normal day almost every other day….almost. You see Valerie had a sister, Vera, and she was her polar opposite: cold, calculating, ruthless. You two didn’t really care for each other, but tolerated the other for the sake of Valerie and overall could have decent conversations if the topic wasn’t money or crimes

But this was different. You were walking around, looking for a place to sit down and doze off to the wonderful bliss that is your favourite music, when you saw Vera being cornered by the wolf pack. Under normal circumstances, Vera could’ve handled herself and forget the whole thing happened in seconds, but she had real genuine fear in her eyes, she was shrinking against the wall, and her snakes were cowering behind her

Suddenly, your feet flew off the ground and you slammed your fist against one of their jaws, knocking him over. It was an awesome moment for you…till the rest of them turned their attention away from the gorgon and towards you. It doesn’t need to be said that you got crushed, your body stinging everywhere, as you watched Vera quickly jog away before you get stomped in the face

You wake up from the most painful nap you’ve taken since you accidentally fell off your roof trying to help a stray cat. But this room isn’t yours, it’s a beautiful chaos of band and movie posters, random trinkets scattered on shelfs next to books you took no interest in reading, and the panties littered on the floor and beanbag definitely were not yours in the slightest. Suddenly, the door opens, and Valerie walks in, a bowl of candy salad in one hand and one of her fancy drinks at the candy store that’s like $10 each. She sets them down on her desk and puts on some of her favourite punk music to chillax to, when her attention is turned towards you. Her eyes dart all over your body before giving you a genuine smile…maybe you were still asleep

“I don’t know whether to thank you for protecting Vera or yell at you for getting beat up by some stupid jocks”
