"What type would you like to have my lady?" The vendor asked,a huge grin on his face.
I giggled."Can I see the flavours please ?" I asked.
He nodded."There you go."
My eyes scanned the different types of ice cream and at that time,I could already feel my mouth dripping with impatience.
"She'll have a chocolate one." A voice from behind me. answered for me.
I looked over my shoulder to find Xander already staring at me with an angry look on his face.I smirked at him and turned my attention back to the Vendor.
"That's what you'll have my lady?" The vendor asked, looking at me.
I gave a small nod."Yes please." I said in a childlike voice which made Xander scoff from behind.
"And what do we have here." A voice sang as it approached the ice cream truck.
The three of us,Xander,the vendor and I turned to see a group of high school boys approaching the ice cream truck. They were about five.My eyes scanned to observe their attires,they were wearing baggy clothes and all of them carried a skateboard in their hand. They were not all white but had few black skinned amongst them.They were nothing but trouble group of university boys. That I knew because as they got closer, I noticed that they went to the same university as me.They were known to be the most feared group of guys at school.Troublematic and popular. Rumors had it that they were even bullies.
As they got even closer, I found myself shifting further closer to Xander who surprisingly pulled me closer and wrapped his large arms around my waist. His chin rested on my shoulder while his eyes stared right at the boys.
"Long time no see mami." One of them said smirking at me.
I rolled my eyes at the nickname he always called me with mostly at school.
"What do you want Trevor?" I asked spitefully.
"I could ask you the same question mami." He said in a teasing manner and the boys laughed.
"And what do we have here," Trevor's eyes shifted to Xander who just said nothing to him.
"What are you doing with such a little girl ?" Trevor interrogated.
Xander just rolled his eyes and remained quiet.
'So he wasn't really the troublesome guy as I thought.Hmm'
My lips curled up into a tight smile before I rolled my eyes as I looked back at Trevor.
"I've got one question for you before I slide mami." Trevor said smirking and his broes pretended to be listening quietly.
Whatever it was he was going to ask,I knew it was going to piss me off.And the pissed off Zoey was not that much friendly I was afraid.Through the trauma that I've been through, I've learned that if there was anything I could do to protect myself, anything at all no matter what was the circumstances.....was to fight back. Fight and stand for myself in order to not be taken advantage of next time.
And so,I waited quietly as I stared right into his eyes.No longer feeling frightened but bold enough to take whatever bomb he was about to throw at me.I waited and listened.
"My broes and I are out here wondering if....." He dragged teasingly with a smirk on his face,"since you seem to hang out with suits guys," He gestured to Xander with a laugh,"you are still..." he dragged teasingly again.
I was fuming yet curious to know what he was going to say.I was getting impatient yet scared of how I was going to react.
"Just say it bro." Liam,one of them patted Trevor's shoulder with impatience.
Trevor turned to him with a calm,relaxed look on his face."Patience my man.Patience." He sang.
"We are wondering if you're still virgin Mary as you claim you are!" He shouted dramatically and I heard some 'Whoa's' and 'oh fuck' and 'damn'.
And without wasting any time, they bursted out laughing. So hard that I felt utterly vexed.He had really stepped the line that time.I felt my whole body tense up abruptly but it soon relaxed as Xander's grip on my waist got tight and he leaned down to whisper.
"Should I handle them?" He asked nicely and slowly but I could feel the anger inside his tone.
But I wasn't going to let Xander see that I was just a little dumb girl like he assumed I was,that's if he did.And so i decided to let the words not get to me that much and gathered myself.
I looked over my shoulder to find the green sparkling eyes already waiting for me to give them an answer.
I smiled softly and said."It's okay,I got this."
Xander looked at me as if I was joking but I gave him a reassuring smile again. This time,he only raised his eyebrow.
"You all heard what she said ?" Trevor asked laughing."She said she got this." his laughter grew and so did his friend's.
"How brave our little Zoey has grown." Liam taunted laughing.
'You can do this Zoey.They're are just a bunch of stupid boys who shouldn't let your soul down over some stupid comments. Don't let them or their words scare you.Remember,you're bold now.What happened two years ago has turned you into an independent, bold young woman. If you say you got this,you got this.Now,get them girl!' My innerself encouraged and I sure did respond.
I turned around so I was now face to face with Xander and his arms where still around my waist.
"I got this." I said softly to Xander who wouldn't let me off his grip.
"Zoey I can-" My finger on his mouth shut him up,utterly and abruptly.
I gave him a quick wink before getting off of his grip which he reluctantly loosened.
"Okay," I said in a relieved, happy tone as I stood right in front of Trevor who was shamelessly licking his mouth,gawking my body.
"Now where were we boys?" I said with full of confidence.
The boy's faces wore surprised looks as they looked at each.
'They are surprised about my sudden confidence?Hmmm,how weird dumbs they are.' I thought.
"At least I'm still virgin Mary Trevor." I said calmly staring right into his eyes." At least no one knows the size of my private part hey.But wait,what about you?It's so very unfortunate I can also feel for you." I placed a hand on my chest and fakingly said with sympathy.
"What are you talking about Zoey?" Trevor growled.
I let out a loud disbelief laugh."Oh did you guys hear that?" My voice was incredibly full of confidence and I liked that.
"I'm now no longer mami but I'm Zoey?" I asked,faking to be hurt.
"From as much as I can remember, that's your name." Trevor scoffed with a roll of his eyes.
"But you never use it.Im even surprised you know it." I said to him,"Unless you are extremely angry. But that's not even the point,the point is that you should've told your mother to teach you to choose friends wisely.Because a little birdie told me your secret,one which you never want anyone else to know. But it's a shame since I know it and everyone here is about to know. Want to know why?Because Liam here,just can't keep a secret.He's so unreliable and fake!He's a snake who calls himself your 'best friend.' " I said.
Everyone's faces were now shut and curiosity seemed to be plastered all over their faces. Liam was almost sweating and I swear I heard his breathing increasing rapidly.
I took another step so my face was just an inch away from his.Our nose barely brushing past each other and our breathes almost fuming one another.Our eyes dived right deep into each other and burned with nothing but total rage.
"He somehow managed to enlighten us about how small you really are on some parts." I said finally.
"Ohhhhhhhh!!!!" The gang chorused with coughs and laughter.
"So next time you try to act big on me,remember how small you really are that you can't even hit deeper within the hole,down to the fucken g-spot." I fumed right on his face then gave him a sweet devilish smile.
The surrounding filled with lots of 'Holy shit','Damn!','The fuck!?'.....
Trevor was on the age of exploding as he started to roar deadly at me but again,I managed him.
"Oh no Papi,' I mockingly said to him,'I think you should be mad at you 'bro' for not being able to carry out the 'bro-code' no more. Not at me..." I sang devilishly as I pointed behind him,at Liam.
And that seemed to work because he slowly turned all his attention to him.
"Come on Trevor, don't let her get to you.She's just trying to get into your head.Don't believe the shit she's saying." Liam rumbled with anger.
"I think my time here is up now." I said dramatically dusting my hands with a smirk on my face.
"Thank you!" I said taking off the ice cream from Vendor's hands that seemed to have melted due to the inconvenience that wasted my time.
"Oh and Trevor, " I called out and he gave me a dirty look."next time when you're bored and you think of doing what you're doing right now to someone,please do yourself a favour and carefully check your chain because it don't spark enough." I smirked
"Let's go baby." I said patting Xander's shoulder lightly as I past him.
"See you later boys!" I shouted,swaying my hips away with my right middle finger dancing up in the air for them.
"Oh she savage." I proudly smirked to myself as I heard one of them praise,in complete shock and surprise.
