Spilling blood without a gun

Valery wasn’t the most argumentative person, but she could stand up for herself and stand up for her point of view. She didn’t like people who tried to push their opinion on you, to force themselves on you and overtake everything you believe in. Though that seemed to be the only way to surmise Barrett Montgomery. Sure, he looked like a god. Sure, he might’ve been smart. But his personality was severely lacking, she wasn’t taking to him in any way and she had found herself sat ranting to their headmistress and the elder lady laughing. Saying that this school could shape him and change him into something more positive and an example for men. But it merely made the red head roll her eyes and exhale loudly. But here she was again, stood in front of him with her hands folded across her chest; arguing with him. “How does anyone like you? you’re so annoying and rude, I swear to god, someone was an idiot with how they raised you,” she exclaimed, everyone was currently in class and the duo were stood outside. Next to a statute of a previous valedictorian of their school which Barrett wanted removed. “How can you remove a statue and someone so important who fought for the right that girls should be educated the way boys are. Because even though you’re a man. You’re no more important than me,” She hissed, her back leaning on the wall, “I really don’t fucking like you, you’re actually infuriating,” She sighed, shaking her head at the male, flicking her red locks back with a movement of her fingers, “Such a fucking imbecile,” she muttered.

Valery knew she had a power over people, a hidden strength. She always kept her word. Good or bad - she wasn’t one to back down, especially not in this situation. So she held her ground, crystallized hues focused on his features as her hands settled on the curves of her hips. Her teeth bared in a sickeningly sweet smile as she glanced around the hall, holding in a breath and the words that threatened to spill. Brushing her long locks back over her shoulder without much care, she lent against the wall, winking at one of the boys who looked her way. It wasn’t even hard to sway them, it was the power that being a girl had, the power that being Valery had. It was hard not to like her, sure she was closed off and a bit bitter but the girls seemed to adore her all the same. She saw through Barrett and the lies he told, truth be told. She did note that he could probably be a real sweetheart, maybe he was damaged, someone hurt him, or he hurt someone else. She wasn’t sure. But even though she loathed him with a burning fire, she did wonder about him in the same breath.  “Of course I do, Montgomery or you wouldn’t threaten me so much, fight back as sharply as you do. You could never put me in my place, not even close. The only power you possess is one to be an asshole and sweetie, that don’t swing here.” Was it is weird she wanted to touch him, to feel his skin on hers? Yet his personality horrified her, could someone truly be this cruel? She’d break him and it wouldn’t even be a challenge. Her hands still on her hips, she saw the offence creep onto his features, the offense and hurt. But she didn’t react, she merely stood her ground, hues refusing to depart from his own. “Well a ‘pansy’ is kicking you ass so I would hardly think so, you have nothing. Never will, so stop trying. No one likes you here, no one respects you, it’s a waste of breath, of time. Just leave.” the words rolled off her tongue with a venom, taking a step closer to him, her chest met his, hues scanning him; obviously, “if you wanted me, you could get me, is that what you think?” she hummed, her fingers ruffling his hair, “think again sunshine. I’m in a whole other league,” 

While Barrett would never admit the fact that Valery did intimate him, especially to the she-devil herself, It slightly freaked Barrett out at how she clearly saw through his facade. The only thing that intimidated him was the fact that she had seniority at the school. It would be difficult to gain trust from all of the students that were present at the school before him and the other boys but he knew he’d get through them. He already had the boys who transferred with him which was better than nothing. Ideally, those boys would gain trust of the girls who they befriend and would convince them to trust Barrett. The freshmen girls, or the new students Barrett would personally welcome and befriend. However, this plan was difficult with Valery in the way. As Barrett cleared his throat, he crossed his arms over his chest and turned slightly away from Valery, “You don’t threaten me, Amoretto. You know nothing about me. The only things you should know about me are that I’m your student body president. I’m more superior than you. I will put you in your place.” Barrett spoke with a low and dark tone as he begun to hover over the red haired girl. Her beauty was captivating but her personality was horrendous. She could possibly be a succubus.  As Barrett just stood in front of the girl as she begun to speak what he wanted to believe was nonsense, he just kept an irritated yet slightly hurt face, though Barrett was unaware that he possibly looked a bit hurt. “Hmph. They’re only terrified of me because of authority. A school run by girls is a school run by pansies, no authority whatsoever. I will make this school correct.” Barrett rolled his eyes. “Me? Having such lewd thoughts about you? Yuck. I’d rather be castrated. I was actually putting you in your place, where you belong. Also, I don’t want you at all. If I wanted you, which I dont I could easily have you. You’re easy for guys to get ahold so it wouldn’t be a problem for me.”

Though Barrett refused to physically show any weakness that Valery had begun to create within Barrett’s mentality, he felt himself become more and more weak as her behavior became more and more hostile and aggressive. Barrett decided right then and there to ask the registrar after school for some student and faculty information and do some research. He wanted to confirm whether or not Valery really had much authority power over the school and it’s faculty or if she was all talk to simply psych Barrett out of his authority. As Barrett listened to Valery’s petty little threat he squinted his eyebrows in disgust. While it did add onto the boiling weakness that churned inside of him, he still kept himself strong. “I am not threatened by you or your petty threats. I refuse to go that low.” Barrett crossed his arms as he turned his head away from the girl. In Barrett’s eyes, all women were disgusting as he had seen every possible type of women out there. All of them had something in for themselves and had no care for others, like the men they prey on. Valery seemed to be a spoiled, overly offended female who wanted female superiority. “For your knowledge, everybody does respect me, and if not they will. You know nothing about the values that I will bring into this school to make it a better enviroment that you women tainted. You, much like all feminist are annoying selfish creatures who needs to be shipped away. Just you wait Valery, I will prove that I am better than you, and better than all of the women at this school.” Barrett took steps closer over to the female as he gently raised the volume of his voice as he lowered the tone of it. He sounded more offended and furious at something that he kept inside. With his chest slightly puffed out he crossed his arms as he looked down at the girl, “You want to dirty? Alright, let’s play. You don’t know me, but you will soon. Just you wait. I’ll have you in some debauched maid costume while feeding me finger sandwiches and scrubbing the Romanian tile in my kitchen, where. you. belong.” Barrett whispered as he leaned forward to the girl with an evil grin on his face as he crossed his arms across his chest. While Barrett was extremely misogynistic towards women due to personal  experiences, he was not raised to be that way. While his father had multiple partners throughout Barret’s childhood, they were all women who he genuinely wanted to be with.. even though he found about three women a year.  

The way how Barrett stared over at Valery was as if she were some dangerous and vulgar insect that needed to be exterminated. She made him feel type of anger and rage which felt like World War III started some brutal and horrific battle inside of him. In Barrett’s mind there were three types of women: gold diggers, overly offended misandrist, and classless, trashy, and unladylike women. In this case Valery was perfectly placed as an overly offended misandrist which Barrett could not stand at all. After Barrett lost his mother a couple of months after he turned seven his father, head of a conglomerate business had numerous and numerous of female partners who were about ten years younger than his father was. One woman his father dated barely turned nineteen when Barrett turned fifteen. Though his father was oblivious Barrett knew that these women only wanted the money and publicity that was within the Montgomery family. They all showered Barrett with compliments along the lines of, “My my aren’t you adorable~” “If you were eighteen I’d totally date you~” “I wonder how much allowance your father gives you~” Disgusting… Every single one of them. Right now his father was with some twenty year old from California… And his father just turned forty-seven last month. Not only were the women his father dated wanted the money but so were the maids who spoke english at the penthouse often forgave Barrett for misbehavior and often showered him with fake love just to learn the combination to the family safe. Overtime Barrett learned that all women were horrible creatures. While some people suspect that he was homosexual, they were false. The comments Valery made were insensitive and simply crude to Barret’s taste. Quickly Barrett checked his teeth only to find nothing stuck in his purely whites. As he rolled his eyes he spoke sternly over at Valery, “Just wait Valery… This school is going to shape up.”

Barrett glanced around their surroundings as curious students stared at them with comforted stares. The anxiety of other students that would become educated on his after school activities freaked him out… a lot. What were they going to think about him? It was without a doubt that they all would see him differently, the faculty would most likely remove him as the first male student council president and possibly expel him from the school since the act of prostitution with an older woman as one of the model students would definitely tarnish the schools’ reputation into the ground, and his family name would go to shame, though it wasn’t as if the Montgomery family already had their fair share of scandal over the past decade.  As Barrett shook his head to clear away his thoughts he raised both of his up to level them with his toned chest he flashed a genuine smile over at the students to quickly urge them to head to class, “Oh isn’t Valery funny and pretty? What a sense of humor!” “I fell asleep in AP Biology yesterday and she caught me.. Don’t follow what I did.” “..Please head to class.. Immediately… Before you are marked tardy..” Barrett spoke to the students with a sudden change of tone; a tone that was rather submissive, somewhat uplifting, and surprisingly kind for once. It wasn’t that he wanted to sound polite to the students whom he wanted to guide like little sheep but rather his nerves who got in the way of his power. Once a couple of the lingering students walked away Barrett snapped his head and glared down at Valery with  a sudden change of emotion. He radiated a flustered, angry, and obviously annoyed energy while he slightly squinted his eyebrows to focus on Valery. How could such a gorgeous girl like Valery Amoretto act so… un-lady like? It was rather trashy to Barrett and obviously not something that turned him on. However… She did… intrigue him as if she were his type. With a small sigh he brought his right thumb and index finger and rubbed the corner of his eyes, or the top side of his nose and shook his head lightly, “You are a pest aren’t you?” Barrett spoke with his low, deep voice as he brought his hand down to wipe the corners of his mouth and slide the hand into the pocket of his black slacks. 

Valery let his words mull over her, thinking of how highly he saw himself; it was selfish. The irony of it was — he was gorgeous, drop dead, in fact. But his personalities was such a bipolar opposite that it angered her, he made her want to be strong because she’d been so weak against men like him. Vowing no one would ever see her break like that again. Folding her arms over her chest to almost match his stance, her eyes rolled. A buzz settling in her stomach as she watched people gather in curiosity, “he’s a liar,” she announced with a smirk. “Telling me not to fall asleep in class and then doing it yourself, tut tut,” she mused, watching is sharp turn and steps pacing back to her. Sure he made her feel uneasy but not for the demand of power, more what he could do with that. Valery didn’t date, she picked a hook up now and then before ridding of them. She didn’t fall in love because she saw what husbands and fathers were capable of and it turned her rigid. Leaning on the lockers, she fell into silence, a wince radiating from her as he got closer; admittedly scared he would raise his hand at her. But she saw the fear in his face, as students rushed in directions of class rooms. “Actually I can Barrett Montgomery and I am so I suggest you out this tough, hardass act away because I own you and every seats that comes with that,” she whispered, patting his cheek.

Though Barrett did not flinch at how the girl halted to snap at him it did take him by surprise when she shoved him.  As his eyes widened for a split second they immediately rested back into a more relaxed and natural glare while a small grin crept onto his face. As he let out a small grunt at exactly what she spoke to him it was evident that he did not take her seriously. Exactly, he did not feel threatened but rather pity for Valery. Barrett painted some image of the redhead that she was all mouth and that she would not be a threat to him. As he adjusted his neck tie ever so slightly he looked down at the ground for a split second and let out a small chuckle, “Hmph, you’re sad… Just sad. I noticed that you put your hands on me when I’ve done nothing but verbally spoke truth. Matter of fact, you claim that this school has gotten worse since I’ve came which is an absolute lie. You are just as blind as that one woman back in the day– Helen Keller was it? Let me lay it down for Miss Armoretto, I am doing nothing wrong but enforcing school regulations that should've been more strict.  For instance a metal detector could stop a possible mass murder of some teenage slutbag trying to get revenge on another girl. Another example on how I could make this school a more lively place is to cover up girls. Us… Gentlemen don’t need distractions since we must focus on our studies. These are only some of my many ideas.” Barrett paused as he took a quick scan around his surroundings to make sure any lingering students weren’t breaking any rules. “It’s not that I emotionally care about the girls here; not as much as I care for my boys. I want my boys to understand that they shall not be material objects to you women. I want my boys to be strong and independent without the need or help from women… Women like you.” Barrett turned his cheek towards the girl and grinned, “Let’s face it; I am in charge of this school and whether you like it or not, change will happen… Whether it’s change you hate, or I simply crave.” For some strange reason it was as if some misandry-like demon possessed his body and just spat out words Barrett kept inside of him. As he thought about whether or not Valery had the guts to spill his ‘outside of school activities, his eyes widened at her exclamation. He felt himself become an empty and hallow husk as he stared blankly over at her. “Y..You…” With a loss for words Barrett had no idea what to say. All he wanted was to quickly leave the area. Barrett took a deep breath as he clenched his fist. “You better watch yourself Miss Armoretto.. The next time that we cross paths, you are going to have a bad time.”

Barrett shifted his posture every other second as Valery’s words sunk into his skin. As much as he didn’t want to worry whether or not some girl could attempt to bring him down, he couldn’t help but to become slightly anxious. Though Barrett assumed that she was all mouth, simply bluffed her words to appear as some dominant female warrior in which she wasn’t. Barrett couldn’t help himself but to follow behind her as he simply fed into her power which fueled her to fight against him, “Listen up Miss Amoretto. I did not want to take things this far, but I could tell that you need a little reality check. There is a reason why the top educated boys at my previous school transferred here; and that’s not to get you girls some happy ending. We are here to fix this school of all of the wrongings that happened here over the past couple of decades. We are here to induce you girls to a co-ed educational system. We are here to prove girls like you; ones who think they could overpower the dominant species wrong.” Barrett’s tone slightly grew more and more aggressive as if something had triggered him. His eyes became dark and insanity drained-like, and his chest was puffed out to show off his dominance. “Do you really think that you could scare me with the little information you have on me? Do you have any idea who I am? Not only do I have money, but I have a name which could get me out of any scandal you accuse me of. Darling, wait until our headmaster hears my proposals. Expect metal detectors, more security cameras, and.. wait for it, longer skirts. If I could get an older woman to like me, I’m sure I could get out headmaster to love me.”

Before Barrett could even open up his mouth to speak of some weak defensive comeback, his eyes were immediately drawn to a couple who begun to make out in the back of the isle of books. Quickly he shoved his way past Valery and turned the boy over by his shoulders and begun to scold them both on how PDA is would disgust the other students and how they are both perverts. While he wrapped up the scolding he pulled out his disciplinary notepad and wrote both of them a slip to see the guidance counselor for their punishment. He watched them carefully as if he were a hawk as they both exited the library and turned towards the direction of the guidance counselor’s office he walked back over to Valery. As he released an unpleasant groan and shook his head with grief he rolled his shoulders back slightly. “Now where were we? Oh, right? Your immature and annoying comments about my personal life.” Barrett paused himself as he crossed his toned arms across his toned chest. “It is obvious that you have too much time on your hands where you do nothing but violate my personal life. You don’t scare me at all Miss Amoretto. I must admit I was a bit worried, but just thinking about exactly what you could possibly do is unrealistic. You barely any valid information on me that you could quote, spread around or report me to our headmaster. I’ll get the headmaster to adore me more than you. I’ll be paying her a visit after school to discuss my ideology for this school. I can guarantee that she’d be much appreciative.” Barrett spoke in his low yet smoothly-articulate voice as he attemot to beam down at the redhead.
