Weepy Hollow

"Name's Tate," he says back to her, before falling silent due to a paper ball being thrown at his head by someone sat behind him. He rolls his eyes and goes back to putting his head on the desk, though looks up enough to see the teacher and give him his attention. He just wanted to go home.

 

[QueenCupCake]

Lilly turned back to the person that threw the ball. "Was that necessary stop being a fucking child" she snapped

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Tate didn't say anything, didn't even try to stop her from handling it, instead he kept his eyes on the clock, watching it tick away the seconds in disappointment, they still had so long left. He puts his head on the desk properly, his eyes concealed by his hair and he shuts them, determined to sleep through the lesson.

 

[QueenCupCake]

After school was over, she walked outside and saw tate across the school while walking over there some girls ambushed her... "so you like freaks now?" A group of 6 six girls shoved her to the ground while the guys laughed. Lilly threw some good punches broke a nose and two jaws but it wasn't enough to take on 6 girls

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Tate saw the sudden commotion in the yard and, curiously, he runs over, before seeing it was Lilly. Something in him wanted to just leave her to it and he couldn't really hit a girl, but he got in between them and pushed them away from her, all six of them, before glaring at them all. "You really want to take me on too?" He says to them, before offering Lilly his hand to pull her to her feet.

 

[QueenCupCake]

she was a bloody mess, of course so were a few of the other girls. the guys walked up to Tate, "bad move" they said and started shoving him. Lilly stood back and then shoved the main guy away from him. "leave him alone! what's wrong with you people?!" she shouted

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Tate pushed her out of the way, not enough to hurt her, just enough to get her out of the fight. He holds up his hands defensively and a grin shows on his face. He wasn't afraid of a fight. He begins to shove back, then swings, hitting one of them in the stomach, then in the face, it was all a mess of fists and shoving, but ultimately Tate couldn't take on so many guys at once without coming out of it much worse than all of them. Blood trickled from his nose and his lip and he spat it at them, getting blood on the main guys face and uniform.

 

[QueenCupCake]

Lilly grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the way. "come on!!" she said, pulling him slowly. "you guys are pussies! One of you couldn't take him on by yourself so you had to gang up on him?!" she said while pulling him away. "you are done with us Lilly!" they shouted. "good!" she shouted back

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Tate pulls his hand from her grasp and begins to walk in the direction of his house, his teeth clenched and his hair fell around his face, blocking his vision of the sides. He didn't care if anyone followed him, or if Lilly followed him, he just wanted to get out of there. As he walked he wiped the blood away with the back of his hand, but only ended up spreading the blood further on his face. He gave up and carried on walking with determination.

 

[QueenCupCake]

Lilly followed him relentlessly. "tate" she said shaking her head, "I'm sorry" she could really say more than that, she didn't know what to say, tears had dried on her face along with the blood pouring out. she rubbed his back gently

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Stop it!" He yells, moving away from her quickly in a jerked movement. "Don't touch me there." He never told anyone about the scars on his back, and he didn't plan on ever. He took a shaky breath and tucked his hair behind his ears on both sides, turning to look at her. They were far enough from school that they wouldn't be beaten up again, but he was still angry and he didn't want to hurt her. "Look, just... I'm not a good guy to be friends with so you made a really bad decision." He gulps before nodding his head, and he continues to walk, taking a left through a large field.

 

[QueenCupCake]

Her eyes were widely opened through the whole thing, she just began shaking her head, she didn't know what he was talking about. She ran after him and stepped in front of him. "what are you talking about? You could be a good guy to be friends with!" she insisted. "just let.. me in.." she said quietly grabbing his hand. "I want to be here for you" she said

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I'm not a good guy to be friends with! I'm a GYPSY!" He yells, before shaking his head. "You don't want to be here for a person like me." He sighs and pulled his hand from hers once again, before continuing to walk. He reached the tree line that concealed the trailer park. His trailer was further concealed by the trees, and he walked up to it, unaware of whether or not she was following still.

 

[QueenCupCake]

Oh yeah, she wasn't about to give up following him. "what does that even mean? are Gypsy's bad people?" she didn't get it, she had never known a gypsy before, 'they can't be too much different right?' she thought. "There has to be another reason you wont let me be there for you" she said.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He walks inside his trailer, now aware that she was following him, and he keeps the door open for her to come inside. His mother wasn't home, so he had the small, cluttered trailer to himself, and he inhaled the scent of incense gladly. To most people, it probably stank, and he knew a lot of people hated it. He turned to her when she was inside and shut and locked his door. "Everyone who is there, isn't, they leave, and they hurt, and it happens every time. Gypsies aren't bad people, I am."

 

[QueenCupCake]

She looked around 'What the hell is that smell?' she thought, she saw the clutter and the smallness of it, it didn't really bother her, that didn't make her not want to be friends with him. "If gypsies aren't bad people, what makes you such a bad person?" she asked. she walked over to him

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"My bloodline." He says, walking away from her and over to the kitchen sink, grabbing a sponge and getting it wet, before walking over to a mirror and looking in it. He rubbed away blood from his face and sniffed, before turning and looking at Lilly. He pointed to a chair, "sit." He walked back to the sink and threw the bloody sponge in the sink, getting a clean cloth and wetting it. "Nicolae, my grandfather, was full blooded Kalderash Roma from the Carpathian region, but had married a gadja woman after emigrating. He was a traitor, he killed one of his own. That's what this stands for," he lifts his shirt and shows her a crooked G tattooed on the side of his stomach, "it stands for Garjo, outsider. Nicolae stood outside of all worlds, and I stand by Nicolae. Being a bad person is in my blood."

 

[QueenCupCake]

She sat and saw the G tattooed on him.. she didn't know what to say, she didn't really know what he was talking about, but she also understood somehow. She held her head down. "but... we could" she started. "we could be good together" she said quietly trying to grab his hand again.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He pulls his hand back again, he was an awkward guy who didn't particularly enjoy physical contact unless he was the one who did it. "Are you living some kind of fantasy? We can't be good together, it just doesn't happen like that." He looks down at her and bites her lip. He uses his finger to lift her chin up, and tilt her head up to him, "Nothing personal." He begins to gently wipe away the blood on her face.

 

[QueenCupCake]

She lost her breath, when he did that, God, what was it about him? Wait, was she getting played?? "no!" she said, " this you can't just lean down and bite my lip and tease me like that!!" this wasn't fair, she stood up inches away from him looking into his beautiful eyes.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I can do what I want." He smirks before putting the cloth that he had used to wash off her blood in the sink and spotted a spider the size of his thumb on the side. He picks it up and let's it walk about his hand as he talks. He grabs a clear jar and puts it in it, before poking some halls with a small knife in the lid, and then putting the lid on the jar. He liked bugs.

 

[QueenCupCake]

she stared at the spider, backing away. "anyway, listen, I gave up all of my friends for you, I got jumped by six different girls and you're just gonna turn me away?!"

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Why should I care what you did for me?" He says and studies the spider through the jar. "You don't know anything about me, princess, for all you know I could already have a girlfriend." He says, raising his eyebrows. He pushes his hair out his eyes. "I mean, I don't. But you didn't know that." He laughs a little.

 

[QueenCupCake]

Lilly nodded and walked out. She couldn't even say anything. She tried to be friends with him, got ganged up on and this is how he reacted!? No. Screw it! Maybe she could go get her friends back.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Tate watches her go, not going after her or trying to stop her, and when she was gone he closes the door behind her and walks over to the small TV balanced on a small coffee table that had junk all over it. He picks up the remote, and begins to watch some black and white horror film.
