Chapter 292 The Perfect Asshole & Pussy:>>Ep2

• About three days after my conversation with my now ex-boyfriend, I actually heard someone refer to my brother as "Lollipop." Ben was just walking and there were a couple of juniors talking at the car next to them. Two guys and two girls I knew were on the cheerleading squad. One of the guys noticed my brother and yelled out something to the effect that he should join the cheerleading squad. Because his giant head and little body would make it easy to flip him around, end over end. The four of them laughed and my brother just sort of laughed it off. One of the cheerleaders yelled something about how Ben shouldn't listen to the guy, he was a jerk. But she was laughing too.
• I felt the rage that had been stoking and smoking inside of me for days finally burst into flames. Ben and his buddy had already walked away. But I marched across the parking lot and gave the guy a piece of my mind. I honestly don't remember everything that I said. But I tore into the guy. I told him that if he ever talked about someone in my family like that again, that he would regret it. The guy looked shocked and apologized about thirty times, saying he didn't mean anything and that he and Ben were friendly. I didn't care, by the time I left, all four of them were totally silent. I didn't really feel a lot better.
• And anyway, it mostly backfired. A day later, after the whole school buzzed about my blow-up, Ben came into my room after school. "Hey," he said, "Rachel, can we talk about something?"
