Set up:
This is the prologue and not even the girl Hector falls head over heels for so you can imagine what he's like when he falls for Charlee and someone messes with her...
Disclaimer: Again not edited!
Walking to his
locker, Hector could see the drama going on all week wasn’t over. It was really
starting to get old. Lisa, a girl whose locker was few lockers down from Hector’s
had been having issues with her
boyfriend. Apparently that past weekend after an argument her boyfriend who was
drunk and mad posted something about her on his Facebook status and it was the
talk of the school.
Hector neither
cared nor bothered to ask anyone what the idiot posted. All he knew is he was
forced to be witness to their constant bickering all week because the dumbass
was trying to beg her back and she wasn’t having it. What sucked is they did it
right there by his locker and usually they had small crowd listening in on
their arguing. It was so stupid.
Today the crowd
was bigger than the norm and from Hector could hear the argument was a bit more
escalated. Even hearing her boyfriend’s angry accusatory tone when he spoke to
her now Hector had every intention of staying out of it like he had all week.
Ironically Lisa
had been someone he’d been interested in getting to know a little better the
previous semester. He wasn’t sure if it was because she was the new girl to his
school or because she was quiet and shy but she’d sparked an interest. Most of
the girls he knew had been going to his school the entire four years and were
loud and anything but shy about flirting with him. There’d been something
refreshing about Lisa’s timid smiles.
As usual by the
time Hector would so much as start to consider getting to know a girl for real
not just think about getting in her pants she started seeing someone else.
Never one to move in on another guys girl, like his brother Abel said, there
were too many out there to be fighting over one—Hector left well enough alone.
Lisa had been
seeing this guy now for months. Up until this week as far as Hector knew things
between them had been peachy. For the most part all week Hector would overhear
their arguments while he got whatever he needed out of his locker but only
because it was inevitable. Not so much Lisa but her boyfriend was one of those
persons that didn’t care who heard his business. He’d argue with her loudly no
matter who was around. In fact Hector got the feeling he enjoyed the attention.
Today he was louder than he’d been all week and with his friends there laughing
and egging him on as he got even louder.
From what Hector
could see as he walked up to his locker she wasn’t even looking at him. She was
staring into her locker as he stood behind her demanding something. “Move,”
Hector said to the guys blocking his locker and they did immediately.
As annoying as it was that she was obviously
uncomfortable with the attention her idiot boyfriend was getting, Hector was
still going to mind his own business and not say or do anything.
“Just admit it,”
her boyfriend said. “You were skyping with his ass all night right? Why not
just text if it was such a friendly conversation? Huh?”
Lisa was ignoring
him because if she did respond Hector hadn’t heard it. The banging on the
locker forced Hector to pay attention. Annoyed he turned to see the guy’s fist
against the locker next to Lisa’s. She’d finally looked up and was facing her
boyfriend now but that wasn’t good enough for the punk he got in her face all
menacingly as if she were another guy. “Admit it. Did you show him your tits?”
He got even closer to her now and she tried to back up but the guys behind her
were too close. “Did you? You skank?”
Instantly on fire,
Hector slammed his locker shut and pushed the few guys in his way aside.
Without giving it so much as a thought he grabbed the guy by the hair and
slammed his face into the locker right next to Lisa’s more than once. “You
think you’re a tough guy talking to your girl like that!”
Now the crowd that
had closed in so much Lisa hadn’t been able to move, backed up real fast. Just
like Hector suspected there was absolutely no fight back from her boyfriend.
Hector lifted the guy’s bloodied face away from the lockers and turned him to
face his stunned friends. “He look like such a tough guy now?”
None of them said
anything and not one of them so much as stepped up to try to help her boyfriend
either. Hector threw him against the locker this time letting him go. “Get in my face tough guy!” He took a step
closer to the guy. Seeing the guy brace himself only pissed Hector off more.
“Or is that something you only do to girls, you fucking pussy?”
Luckily for the
guy, in the next instant Hector himself was pushed up against the lockers by
school security as was Lisa’s boyfriend and they were both hauled into the
dean’s office.
As much as it
sucked that he knew this was grounds for suspension Hector had a feeling his
brother Abel would go easy on him for this one. All Hector would have to do is
defy his brother to stand there and watch a guy get in a girls face the way
this asshole had and not do anything about it.
