Fire With Fire - Chapter 13
ANAYA
After I walked out of the gym and freshened up, I roamed around the mansion. It was huge and I was hoping to find a game room. There's nothing better than playing PS3 while eating popcorn. I was a pro at games like Call Of Duty, Sports Champion, Grand Theft Auto and stuff like that. I even beat the boys. Hey! Don't judge me! Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't kick boys' asses at such games.
Back to my point, I was roaming around mindlessly, whistling to myself, I spotted some lights switched on and went towards. Guess what I found? Yup, I found the game room. And I started running towards it, squealing, but not too loudly. As soon as I found myself inside the room, I started searching the CD racks in hopes of finding Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty. I found one. I put it in the PS3 and started to play the game. I was into the game, I didn't even notice someone(s) coming in.
'Wow! For a girl, you sure do kick some ass', some guy said from behind me.
'Wrong move dude', Avil said. Wait what?! Avil's here. Ugh!
But forget that 'cause some guy from behind me just said that "I kick some ass for a girl!" I'm a feminist and when some one says anything like that, they are in huge trouble.
I turned around with a sweet smile on my face. 'What's your name sweet-face?'
'His name's Kyle', Avil answered for him.
'Did I ask you, wack-job?' I asked Avil, narrowing my eyes at Avil.
'But I answered anyway, didn't I, princess?' Avil smirked.
'Of course Peaches', I smirked back.
'Um, are you two done yet?' Kyle asked.
Now, I remembered why I was angry at him. I narrowed my eyes and pointed my fingers at him. 'You.'
'Me', Kyle said, pointing his thumbs at him.
'How dare you?!' I said.
'How dare I what?' Kyle asked, looking confused.
'How dare you say that I can kick ass for a girl, huh?' I shouted, throwing my hands up in the air.
'Obviously I dare enough to say that. 'Cause you do kick ass... for a girl', Kyle said.
'Oh perfect! I already have an Avil to deal with, and now Kyle. Why me, God? Why me? You know I can't deal with two idiots at the same time.' I looked up at the ceiling and pretended to cry.
'Hey!' Avil and Kyle said at the same time.
'Hi', I waved.
'Not "hi" Princess, but "hey" as in how the hell can you call me an idiot?!' Avil said.
'What about me?' Kyle whined.
Avil turned towards him. 'Eh!'
'Like this, Peaches. Idiot!' I stuck my tongue out at Avil.
'Real mature', Avil said.
'I know I am', I retorted.
'Excuse me', Kyle intervened.
'What?!' Avil and I both shouted.
'Weren't you just angry with me?' Kyle questioned me.
Oh yeah! I had forgotten about that with all the drama going on. 'Thanks for reminding me.'
'Why're you thanking me?' Kyle asked, looking confused.
'Wait for it, buddy. You'll soon realise your mistake. I tried to protect you, but you reminded the she-devil', Avil said, his hands in his pockets.
'So I can do this', I said and kicked him where the sun most definitely don't shine. I then judo- flipped him and punched his face, maybe breaking his nose.
'Ah shit! What was that for?' Kyle exclaimed, clutching his nose in one hand and the other um... body part in his other hand. 'You freaking broke my nose!'
'Does it hurt?' I asked.
Kyle nodded, 'Duh!'
'Good. Then I've done it right. Well, as for your earlier question, it's for freakin' telling me that I'm "good for a girl." Like, I could kick your ass. I kick even Avil's and his best friend Bryce's asses in this. You think I can't take you?' I said, burning up with anger.
'Hey, I thought we agreed that you wouldn't tell anyone', Avil whined.
'You agreed, I didn't', I said, turning towards Avil. 'And did you really think that I wouldn't use that information against you? There's nothing wrong with being beaten by a girl. After all, equality of genders, remember?' I said.
Then I turned back towards Kyle with a glare plastered on my face. Kyle quickly cowered and crawled away from me. 'And also for being an arrogant, over-confident jackass.'
'What's wrong with her?' Kyle asked Avil. 'Is it that time of the month?'
'You wanna say that again?' I gritted my teeth. Kyle shook his head. 'Blame a girl's emotions on that freakin' time of the month. Not all girls are same, dumbass.'
'One, I have no idea what you mean by "that time of the month", and I don't want to know. Two, everything's wrong with her. And three, she's a feminist', Avil said.
'What's a feminist?' Kyle asked.
'You don't know what that is?' I shouted. 'Where have you been, stupid. Narnia?'
Avil and Kyle ignored me. 'Feminism by definition means a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment.'
'Nerd', I coughed into my hand.
'Please', Avil narrowed his eyes at me. 'Like you aren't one.'
'I'm not a nerd', I denied.
'You got first rank.' Shoot! He had a point. Think Anaya, think.
'Well yeah, but there is a difference', I said, feeling smart that I just thought of that.
'Enlighten me than, please', Avil begged. Not really begged begged, but you know, he begged.
'You see, you are a nerd. While I, just like competition. But more importantly, I like winning. So, I competed with you for first rank and won by understanding and studying the subject at the last moment. The subjects we have only. Not every single definition available in the universe. like you', I said.
'I don't learn every single definition', Avil protested.
'Uh, yeah you do', I said.
'No, I don't', Avil said.
'Yes', I said.
'No.'
'Yes.'
'No.'
'Yes.'
'No.'
'Yes.'
Yes', Avil said.
'Hah! You said yes! That means you do learn every single definition' I jumped up and down.
'Damn, you caught me. I was hoping you wouldn't realise it and say no', Avil muttered.
'Like that would ever happen', I scoffed. 'Face it Avil. I'm smarter and better than you.'
'Yeah right', now Avil scoffed.
'Yeah, I'm right', I smiled cheekily.
'Sarcasm, sweetheart', Avil said.
'You don't teach me-' I was cut-off mid-sentence. What is it with people and interrupting me? Why can't they interrupt Avil?
'Because I'm better and hotter', Avil said. 'And yeah, you were telling it out loud.'
'Oh', my mouth formed an o-shape.
'Will both just shut up?' Kyle said.
'Why should I?' I asked.
'You're giving me a headache and I want to understand that term', Kyle said.
'Jerk', I muttered.
Kyle ignored me. 'In English please.'
'That was in English, Kyle', Avil said.
I rolled my eyes. 'He means in simple English, you monkey.'
'Ok', Avil said and turned towards Kyle. ' In simple English, a feminist is someone who believes in the equality of sexes, in political, economic and social fields. It is an organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests. A feminist doesn't only have to be a female. Even a male can be a feminist. A male or a female is a feminist if he or she believes that women can do everything that a man can and hopes to end gender bias that is prevalent in our society.'
'Ok. I get it now. Somewhat', Kyle said, still trying to understand.
'What I mean to say that a feminist is sort of like a women's rights activist. Like a man and a women do the same amount of work, but the man gets paid a higher salary than the woman just because he is a man. People who oppose this are called feminists', Avil explained. 'Got it?'
'Yeah, I got it', Kyle said, not looking very confused which meant that he understood something Avil explained. 'But why was she hitting me?'
Guess the idiot didn't get it after all. Avil literally just said that I was a feminist, which is why he had to explain it to Kyle. That is how it all started? And now, he's asking Avil and I why I hit him? Did he really forget or is he toying with us? Is Kyle freakin' kidding me? Kyle's more dense than Avil is! And that's saying something.
Avil let out a breath. 'Do you remember what I told about Princess here before I explained what a feminist was?'
Kyle shook his head. He's got to be kidding me. How can he not remember something that happened to him literally five minutes ago? He got kicked in his nuts for that for God's sake! Gah!
' At least you remember what a feminist means right?', Avil questioned. 'I just told you about that.'
Kyle nodded. 'Yeah, I remember what it means. A person who believes in the equality of sexes, to put it in short.'
'Yup. So, the reason why she hit you is..' Avil dragged.
It's like a sudden flashlight popped up in Kyle's mind, 'cause next thing I know, he is shouting, 'Anaya's a feminist.'
'Yay! Great job, buddy. You finally figured it out', I said, bored.
'Oh, not just any feminist, Kyle', Avil said. 'Naya here, is the biggest feminist out of all of them.'
Oh my gods! I can't believe he would call me that!
It's like Avil realised what he said a bit too late because he widened his eyes. 'Anaya, I'm sorry. It slipped out, I swear.'
'Shut up, Avil. Just shut up', my eyes brimmed with tears. I had never felt this emotional in my life so far, except those five times before. ' I can't believe you have the nerve to call me that after everything. That got ruined a long time ago. You lost the privilege to call me that a long time ago.'
'Anaya, I'm really sorry', Avil apologised.
'Sorry doesn't cut it, Av 'I said, tears still streaming out of my eyes.
'You went too far now, Anaya', Avil said.
'Oh yeah! Who started it by call me Naya, huh? You went way too far, Avil. You really did. I just can't believe you would do that', I said. I know that you must be thinking what's such a big deal? It's just a nickname. But no, it's not just a nickname. There is a past behind it. A past that I'm not ready to reveal just yet.
'I swear it slipped out. I'm sorry', Avil apologised again.
'Yeah, well I'm sorry too', I said. 'Sorry that I got kidnapped with you. Sorry that I ever was once nice to you. Sorry that I was once friends with you. Sorry that I even met you. But I'm not sorry that I hate you. '
'Anaya', Avil stepped forward. There was some emotion in his eyes that I couldn't recognise.
'Get lost', I shouted at him and ran out of the game room, wiping my tears away and leaving behind a gaping Kyle and a stupid moron called Avil.
