One More Minute With Him

OH My Tummy

One in the Jeep Brandon kissed me. “What in the world. Are you crazy?” He asked me. 

“And were in the world did you learn to punch and block hits?”

“And since when do you know so much about drugs and what they are by the name?”

“And since when do you stand up to people with bitchy actions like Michelle?”

“And have I told you how much I love you.”

“And do you know that Michelle is now more then ever not going to give up on making your life a living hell? I mean I know that your going to be able to stand up to her but what the hell. I kind of what to go back there and just let you go to town with her. I mean she needs it bad but why not just let you go?”

“Brandon can you do something for me?” I asked smiling.

He looked like a little kid when he replied. “What?”

“Shut up, claim down, and drive.” He laughed at me.

“Me shut up? After that? Yeah right. I mean you had guts but never that much. I mean you hit her and didn’t think twice about it. You know? You could have hit her again. After I saw you hit her the first time I was all for you hitting her again.  And if you did then no one would have stopped you. We were all in shock after that.”

“Yeah well my hand doesn’t feel the greatest. When I swung I messed it up and hit wrong. Her face will tell by tomorrow how much I messed up. It’s going to be a low one and next to nothing will cover it up. Which-“ I turned my head to face him. “I don’t mind because everyone will know that as much as she tries to hide it; they will know she was hit by a fist.”

“Where you learn to hit like that?”

“Self leaned. I was walking home a lot after school before I got my car and so I had to learn to fight just in case something was to happen and I needed it to back me up. And plus the hate that I have toward her made it more of a hit then anything. I know that just going up to her and hitting her wasn’t the right thing to do but at less it felt good to hit her.”

                    “You think? Ari she was crying when I walked you to the jeep and the funny thing about it all is that Gale was walking to his truck and getting in. I think Michelle is going to be pissed for a bit and is going to find a way to get back at all of us. I’m going to text and ask Gale to follow us to the house. We are going to talk to him and see what he has to say about all this. And…” He grabbed my hand. “Get some ice on that hand. Are you hurt anywhere else?”

                    “No I’m fine.” My hand did hurt but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I slowed into nothing. I didn’t talk to Brandon the rest of the ride to the house. I watched as he texted Gale and told him to follow us. We didn’t say anything to each other. I looked out the window. I felt good about hitting Michelle but tomorrow was going to be hell. She now knows that we were all talking to each other and knows that the only way to hurt us is the tell about our black mail she had on everyone. I looked out the mirror wondering what she had on Gale. What was she black mailing him on?

                    “What do you think she has on Gale?” I asked. I knew that Brandon wouldn’t know because no one knows anything about anyone that Michelle would know. She somehow always knows something. And I sure that that she doesn’t have friends in high places because she need to be the top dog. No one was to under power her.

It reminds me of a seen in Drama class one day were the actor never had friends. He had friends because there were afraid of him. He would have something on everyone in the school that wanted to be his friend but he ended up falling. And hard I should add. A new student (played by me) over powered him and he fell.

I jump in my seat. “Brandon I know how to get her to fall. It’s like this-“

“Wait to tell me when we are with everyone else.” He grabbed my hand and held it.

I didn’t say anything as we drove back to the house.

Once inside I grabbed a bag of peas from the freezer and put it on my hand.

Gale walked into the house and ran to me. He went to hug me but was stopped by Brandon. “Right now isn’t a good time to be touching my girlfriend Gale. You did something that is going to take a bit to get off of with me.”

“Sorry man.” He stepped back and walked to the other side of the room. Cody and Kaylee some walked there the door and Kaylee ran right into me.

“That was SO awesome you know that right. I mean you hit her. In the FACE!” She hugged me tighter and tighter.

“Okay well Ari might know how the bring Michelle down and I’m betting she is going to need our help so who’s in?” Brandon asked. I looked around the room. Kaylee arm was in the air before Brandon even finished talking.

I moved the bag of peas over my hand and fist. “So I got to thinking about the fact that everyone is scared or in teams hate her, but people are still friends with her because she has something on them. Right?”

“Everyone but you and Kaylee but she is scared of you.” Gale said.

“That’s right she doesn’t have anything on Kaylee.” Cody said and he smiled at her.

“But what do we have on her?” I asked.

There was nothing said for a bit. Gale smiled widely. “What is it Gale?” We all asked in usher.

“Who has been in her house before?” he asked.

“I have.” Brandon said.

“I haven’t.” Cody said.

“Well have you been into the den or say the basement?”

“The den yeah but not the basement.” Brandon answered Gale.

“Well in the basement there are old photos of her where she wasn’t living here. And those photos are from when she had a lot of acne and also when she weighed a hundred and sixthly pounds.”

I dropped to the floor laughing. “Oh, this is wonderful. I can’t believe this. I mean oh my tummy hurts." I was laughing so hard. Kaylee was right next to me.
