"Have you talked to Fillet yet?" I asked Bam as I put some of my books in my locker and took the ones I needed for the next period.

"About what?" she looked confused and I rolled my eyes at her and faced her.

"Really? For the ticket, he bought for you"

"He bought it for us"

"We both know why he bought them in the first place," she just rolled her eyes at me and continued typing on her phone "Come on Bam, I am not saying you should run in his embrace and kiss him as your life depend on it"

I fold my arms still looking at the girl who might be or might not be listening to what I have been saying.

"Just a simple thank you will do" I completed and she groaned then put her phone in her pocket.

"Fine, if that is what you want," she said looking behind me and I turned to see what she was looking at and found nothing that must have caught her attention aside from students walking to and fro.

When I turned to look at her she immediately hid something in her bag and some of the things fell on the floor. I looked at her with a raised brow and bent to check it then saw that it was one of my choco sweet I always keep in my locker for distress, anxiety, pressure, good luck, and so on.

I glared at her and she gave me that innocent look making me roll my eyes.

"You better find yourself a good lawyer to defend your case because you have deeply insulted me and vandalized my property. I moved closer to her "This is means war between us" I said in the most terrifying voice I could muster.

"We would see about that, Weakling," she said and we giggled after the staredown.

"You are weird," I said.

"Nope, you are"

"Nah, you are" I closed my locker and we walk to our maths class.

"Shut up," she said harshly and I glared at her.

We settled in our usual seat as we continue our little banter and slightly pinched each other wrists. Well, I was the one doing the light pinch while this human here pinched me like she was battling with a stubborn steak.

"Hey girls, I heard you were going to Shawn Mendes's concert, is that true?" Jenny Fret one of the cheerleaders stopped in front of our table to ask.

She was wearing her usual mini red dress with a white sneaker, her blonde hair in a neat ponytail and she crossed her arms while waiting for our answer.

Weird seeing as she never talks to anyone aside from when you have something she could benefit handsomely from.

I was cut off from replying by my very good and favorite human. Bam Bam. Hope she doesn't hear my thoughts.

*Sneaks quietly*

"To?"

Jenny frowned a bit and rolled her eyes then adjust on her other foot.

"Did you find some senses in there?" Bam asked. Typical

"What? Whatever. What else would one do at a concert?" she asked and giggled a bit.

"Too bad none of your clowns are here to laugh at your stupid attempt at a joke" Bam shrugged.

"Do you have to be rude?" she asked.

"Do you have to be a bimbo?" Bam asked back.

Now Bamrik is getting angry.

I know for a fact she doesn't like Jenny or most of the cheerleaders. Like who would?

These girls are mean and would go through any length to get whatever they want, even if it meant hurting other people's feelings which are super bad but their popularity made them so blind to it.

She rolled her eyes again and faced me instead.

"You are going right?" I just gave her a once over then looked at Bam who looked like she would pounce on the girl any moment from now.

"Do you girls behave like dumb bimbos to look cool?" she asked now showing her true colors.

I knew she just wouldn't be nice for no reason. I knew it.

"Well, let me do something it isn't cool," she said with her very famous fake smile.

"Look who's talking. Buzo the clown" Bam muttered the last part and it took everything in me not to laugh.

"What did you just say to me?" she leaned in to grab Bam's hair.

Just as her hand got closer there was noise from the door and we looked to see Generous coming in with his bag slung over his shoulder as he talked to some of the popular guys in school.

They were joking and all but I just shook my head at them. If only Fillet knew these guys' intentions towards him, he wouldn't associate with them.

I guess when you are rich and famous you don't get to know the people that are really for you and those that aren't.

Jenny turned to us with a smile on her face and adjust her clothing, she raised her brows and turned around gracefully then walked up to Fillet.

I wished she wasn't that graceful and fall flat on the face so she gets a taste of the medicine she dishes out.

Sighs...

"Hey Fillet" she purred in her very annoying high-pitched voice she uses on most guys in school, especially when they have something she needs.

Fillet glanced at her along with the other guys he was talking to and gave her a polite smile. The rest as usual checked her out and some licked their lips.

Eww!

Then the mental image of what Bam explained to me some years ago. About a guy in our school that has been following her and wouldn't leave her alone.

So one day, she came out of the bathroom and saw that the guy and his weird gangs were outside waiting for her to come out. She saw the guy lick his lips as she checked her out. She told me she was so irritated she pushed him to the floor, grabbed his tongue, and scratched it.

She kicked his stomach, went to grab sand and grass mashed them together then told him to lick it or she would break his head and arms so they get amputated.

He was crying as he did so and after a moment of embarrassment and licking, she let him go and turned to face his gangs but they were long gone.

He reported to the principal but there was little she could do since the boy had cases of harassing girls in and out of school and would bribe witnesses or the girl's family to not take any form of action against him or his family.

The principal said it was a lesson not to abuse women or just anybody. I wasn't there to witness it but I always imagined how much of a show it would have been.

Generous excused himself but she hooked her arms in his stopping him.

"Generous" she purred again and I started feeling some kind of pain on my arm then turned to see Bam squeezing my arm as she looked at Fillet and Jenny together.

"Bam" I swatted her arm successfully from my pained one.

She always has a tight grip on everything and I am glad she let go of my arm on time or it would be badly bruised.

"Sorry," she said looking angry.

"You like this dude, I know it, I just don't get why you wouldn't admit it," I said not minding the fact she might be angry at me for spelling it out to her.

"Dont give that look, if you want something you better get it before anyone else gets it," I told her and looked back at the duo to see Jenny with an angry look and Fillet coming in our direction.

"Hi ladies," he said his gaze going to Bamrik.

"Hi Fillet," I said then nudge Bam to greet him back.

"Hi" she mumbled and I rolled my eyes then gave him an apologetic look.

He shrugged it off with his usual smile.

"How are you doing?" I asked

"Fine, fine, and you?" he asked back.

"I am doing fine too, Bam is grateful for the tickets you surprised us with, thank you so much Fillet"

"Oh come on, don't thank me," he said scratching the back of his head.

"Bam, don't you have something to say?" I nudge her again and she glared at me.

"Thank you," she said to him and looked away.

I turned to him to see his eyes light up with excitement. I wonder why. She didn't say it pleasingly or politely and he is happy. Weird boy.

"I am glad you spoke to me," he said and I resisted rolling my eyes.

A little word from her was more than enough for him. He is whipped.

"So Bam, if you arent busy by Friday would you like to go ou-"

"On a date?" she looked angrily at him then chuckled. "Just because you bought me and my bestie tickets and backstage passes to see Shawn Mendes doesn't mean you can ask me out on dates," she said and I looked at her in disbelief.

Was she serious now? He asked a harmless question she would have replied yes or no and instead she is going all ballistic on him. I want to slap her head right now, because I am pissed off at her.

"If you want to go out on dates with girls you give things to why don't you take it from us and give it to that clown Jenny so you both can go and leave me alone," she said and stood to leave.

I took her hand and made her sit down to apologize but Fillet was already on his feet.

"I am sorry for being nice" then he turned and left.

"Gen-" I wanted to call him but he already left the class.

I turned to Bam with an angry look already feeling the need to smack her real hard.

"You happy now?" I asked then turned away from her.

"Andrea" she called me and thankfully our teacher walked in and she couldn't talk to me which made me happy.

I will just ignore her till she goes to apologize for being rude.
