Rebel Without a Cause Matt Sanders

I scanned a note Jimmy had given me.

Teacher: Melly what's the answer?

Melly: the prohibition was in the 1920's. Meaning illegal to make booze. I was listening.

Teacher: just making sure.

I rolled my eyes. I looked at who the note was about. A guy, medium build. Dirty blond hair and glasses. Tim is his name. He owed Jimmy money. He looked at me. I perked a brow. When the bell rang for the next class I followed him out.

Melly: yo Timmy.

He turned and looked at me. A cheesy smile on his face. Ugh. He looked me up and down.

Tim: what does Zacky V's girl want with me?

He said trying to suggest something. I rolled my eyes.

Melly: I don't need anything personally. I'm just here to collect.

Tim: collect what?

How I hated when they thought I was stupid.

Melly: Rev's money.

Tim: I told him I would get it to him later.

Melly: let me rephrase. I'm here to collect now. I don't have time, so just give me the fuckin' money.

Tim: I don't have it.

Melly: I almost believe you, if I was retarded. Now, Rev's given you long enough Timmy. You know the deal.

I held my hand out. He laid a smirk on his stupid face.

Melly: come on Tim. Just give me the money.

Tim: you give me something first.

Melly: this isn't some type of comprimise. Give me the fuckin' money.

Tim: or what? Sad that the Rev would send a harmless girl to get his money.

I shoved him to the wall. One hand firmly planted on his chest.

Tim: what the hell.

Melly: shut up.

My free hand went digging in his pockets. I felt the dry raspy papers in my hand. I waved the small wad in his face.

Melly: Rev thanks you, for your business.

I walked off counting the money. Two hundred and fifty. Easy bucks for Jimmy. As I was folding it back up, it was knocked out of my hands.

Matt: sorry Melly.

I quickly went for the precious cargo. He knelt down and started to help me gather the bills scattered about.

Melly: shit.

Matt: why do you have so much money?

Melly: its just a few bucks.

Matt: this is a hundred.

I took it from him.

Melly: its business.

He made a face.

Matt: business?

Melly: its a payment. He owed someone I know money. So he sent me to collect. Happy now?

Matt: for like drugs?

Melly: what are you stupid?

Matt: no. Usually money like that is for drugs.

Melly: you've gone to private school to long. He hooked him up with fuckin' skate gear.

He frowned.

Melly: you know, skate boards. Fully decked out.

Matt: oh.

Melly: yeah oh.

I mimicked.

Melly: dork ass bitch.

Matt: give me a break. I didn't know. Its just sketchy.

Melly: ha welcome to public school.

My eyes darted around looking for Jimmy.

Matt: whatever. So your guys actually hired Danny.

I smiled at his tone of voice.

Melly: yeah they did.

Matt: why?

Melly: we need more hands. Plus he mentioned once or twice what it takes to be a roadie.

Matt: but you actually pay him?

I nodded.

Melly: well, yeah. Its not easy todo what he does.

Matt: I guess not. Was it your idea to ask him?

I stopped and looked at him, crossing my arms.

Melly: does it bother you more that he's within my grasp or working for another band. Or perhaps that he so willingly left.

He scowled. I smiled viley.

Matt: I'm not upset. I just don't trust you with him.

Melly: I wouldn't either the kid is sexy.

I smirked. He shook his head. I perked up and looked over my shoulder. Jimmy was trudging down the hallway Johnny in his arms. Upside down. I smiled. I made my way over with Matt at my heels. Jimmy dropped Johnny to the floor at the site of me.

Melly: here you go blue eyes.

He took the money and counted it. Johnny stood up, punched Jimmy on the arm, pulled me to him, and planted one on me.

Melly: well hello Johnny.

Johnny: hey baby.

Jimmy: thanks Melly. Fuckin' kid just wouldn't give me anything.

He pecked my temple.

Johnny: oh no, she's mine today.

Matt: Rev.

Jimmy snapped his attention to Matt. Catching him off gaurd a bit. His blue eyes looked over the bulkier guy. He cracked a smile.

Jimmy: the one and only. Who's asking?

Matt: you actually know them.

Melly: I live with them.

Johnny: man, he makes it seem like we're famous.

He whispered and chuckled a bit. His lips traced my neck.

Jimmy: why would you doubt Melly?

He shrugged aimlessly.

Matt: you're an amazingly insane drummer.

Jimmy: thanks, I drink lots of milk to keep my bones strong.

Matt nodded then frowned realizing what he said.

Jimmy: kinda like a cat.

Matt: uhh...what?

Jimmy just nodded smiling. Me and Johnny giggled. Matt glanced at me.

Matt: that's cool man.

Jimmy: yeah dude. So what's your name man?

Matt: Matt.

Jimmy made a face. He walked off like nothing.

Matt: ok?

Johnny: poor fucker.

Melly: not his fault he knows nothing about him.

Johnny shrugged and kissed me. Matt stared.

Johnny: let's get out of here.

Melly: I'm down for that. Bye Matthew.

Matt: whatever.

Johnny: I think he likes you.

My lips curled.

Melly: just another to add to the list.

Johnny: you have to many boyfriends.

Melly: that's ok. You got to have a varity.

Johnny: I suppose. So what now babe?

Melly: well...let's go visit Danny, yeah?

Johnny: sure. I have Brian's keys anyway.

Melly: and why is that?

Johnny: cause I told him hey fucker I need them keys, I'm blowin' this shit hole.

I placed a hand on my hip.

Melly: no you didn't.

He smiled.

Johnny: no but I did ask for them.

Melly: yeah thought so.

We arrived at Danny's school. Lunch time for him.

Johnny: there he is, getting hit on by those hot bitches.

Melly: mmm...I see maybe you can bag yourself one Johnny.

He shrugged. We got out and walked over. I let myself gently squeeze Danny's bottom. He quickly turned grabbing my wrist. His eyes wide with surprise. I only smirked. The girls all gave me stink eye. His shocked expression turned into a toothy grin. His arms wrapped around me tightly.

Danny: what are you doing at this shitty place?

Melly: here to see you.

Johnny: the hair cut defitnatly sharpened the look.

Danny: what's up man?

They man hugged. It was like he'd known us for years.

Johnny: so Danny tell me are these ladies what you have your eye on for roadies?

Danny crossed his arms and they both checked the girls over. The little girls giggled at their rude comments. I seperated the two and stood between them. Hands on my hips, standing in a very authoritative manor. I scanned them over.

Melly: all insufficient roadies. Groupies maybe. But why have these when you could have the very best.

The girls scowled at me.

Melly: girls give yourselves a year or two to grow and fill out. Then I think my boys would appriciate you more.

They all gave me confused looks. Not sure how to take my words.

Melly: come on you two.

I pulled each one by a belt loop.

Melly: I will give you more fun with one hand than all those freshmen could with all their assets put together.

Johnny: mmmm...Melly is talkin' like a naughty girl.

Danny just smiled.

Melly: me naughty? I don't even know what that means.

The two boys laughed.

Melly: get in the car.

All three of us sat upfront. Me in the middle.

Danny: holy crap. I just realized I left the school campus.

Johnny: Melly has a magical way of distracting people. Mainly guys.

I smiled happily. My hand rested on Danny's upper thigh. I leaned up.

Melly: so how much do you miss me.

Danny: to much. Its not as fun. You gave me motivation to go to school.

I smiled and let my hand slide further up slowly.

Melly: I didn't know that.

He nodded. My finger tips grazed his inner leg.

Melly: we're just going to have to make some arrangements for you arn't we.

Danny: ye-yeah.

Melly: I will take care of it.

He glanced at Johnny. My hand wandered to some more sensitive spots. Johnny quietly sang while driving. Not caring at all to what was going on.

Danny: Melly, uhh...

Melly: don't worry he won't tell.

Danny: but.

Melly: he doesn't care babe.

Danny: I just.

He said uneasily. I stopped. Feeling how uncomfurtable he was. I backed up a bit.

Melly: sorry Danny.

I forget some people arn't like me and Zacky or me and Johnny. Some people have boundries. Different comfurt zones. I looked at my hands.

Melly: I forget, not everyone is...open like me.

Nothing more was said. I kept a slight distance from Danny. I learned he doesn't like being touchy feely if one of the guys is around.
