"Who the fuck are you?", Eli grunts stepping next to me.

I was still frozen beaming at Ray who was also beaming at me with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Who are you?", Ray retorts giving Eli a stern glare.

Lulu nudged me and I quickly came back to life from my shock state.

"What are you doing here?", I scoff raising a brow.

"I'm back to finish my senior year", Ray bluntly responds his full attention now on me.

I never thought I would ever see Ray ever again. After he cheated and dumped me, I've never saw him or heard from him.

He just disappeared from the face of the world and I definitely didn't bother to know anything from him after what he did to me.

"Who is he Gia?!", Eli interrupts looking at me with a sneer expression.

I can tell Eli is already getting worked up.

"No one important.. Let's go!", I sternly splutter grabbing Eli's hand pulling him with me away from Ray's presence.

The last thing I need is Eli getting into a fight on my first day back in school and official first full day of freedom.

As we walked off Eli kept glancing back at Ray.

"Gia who is that?"

"Babe can I just enjoy my first day back?", I huffed not wanting to tell him yet.

"Fine, but as soon as we out of here your telling me", Eli demanded.

"I promise"

Half of the day went by fast and I was welcomed back by all of my teachers and other friends I know in my classes.

It was now currently p.e.

Once I dressed in my p.e. Outfit I was sitting on the bleachers with all of the crew and Eli.

I felt someone staring at me and I turn around to see what was this unknown power and of course this person would have the same p.e. Period as me.

Ray

He was with two of his old friends from back in the day leaning against the wall waiting on their class to start.

His eyes locked with mine making me have a mini heart attack.

I quickly looked away and noticed Eli was already peering at Ray and I.

I can tell Eli was getting so impatient with wanting to know what the deal was.

The only reason I don't even want to tell him who he is yet is because I don't want Eli starting shit in school.

I'd rather just tell him at home, so he can have a whole much of time to calm down.

"Everyone get in your order for attendance", our teacher instructs walking over to us with his clipboard.

"Great to have you back young lady", the teacher says with a small smile.

I smile feeling a little awkward as everyone in my class stares at me.

"Alright class today shall be free time, so do whatever you guys want as longest it's active and for those that don't like to do anything.. Walk around the gym", the teacher dismiss the class.

"What are you going to do baby?", Eli walks over to me placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Goals!", Veronica shouts making us both blush as everyone chuckles.

"Anyways", I giggle.

"I'm going to walk around with the girls you know we're too lazy to play"

"Of course I know", Eli chuckles earning a nudge by me.

"Ouch"

As he winces falsely at the little playful nudge I gave him. I stick my tongue out at him.

"I love this man handling", he winks pulling me in for a hug.

"You guys are to close", the teachers suddenly splutters signaling us to start doing an activity.

Seriously why do p.e. teachers swear you'll get pregnant by holding hands or hugging.

Eli pulls away throwing a death glare at our teacher.

"Well babe I'll get going", I say breaking the tension.

"Alright I'll be playing basketball with the guys"

We both pull away smiling at each other.

"Dude does Eli know about Ray?", Veronica croaks.

"Yes, but he doesn't know that he's the famous bitch ass Ray", I sneer pointing my finger at Ray who's also walking around with his boys ahead of us.

"Dude he'll eventually find out", Veronica says while she beams between Eli and Ray.

"I know I promised to tell him after school", I frown.

"You better", she scowls.

I sigh kind of worried of how Eli is going to react tomorrow seeing Ray.

After all I'm sure bitch ass Ray is going to start hanging out in our spot since he's friends with Jesiah and the rest of the group.

"Are you hungry?", Eli asks as we make our way towards the tattoo shop.

"Yes", I respond hearing my stomach growl.

"What do you want babe?"

"Uhm"

"Subway or in and out?", He says intently focused as we approach the shopping plaza.

"In and out"

Eli drives into the drive thru waiting for our turn to order.

"Hello what would you like to order?", a young man greets us.

"What do you want babe?", Eli turns to look at me.

"Just animal fries please", I say giving him my cheesiest smile ever.

"One animal fries", Eli responds to the young man.

"Is that all?"

"Yeah thanks bro", Eli drives forward into the drive thru taking out money to pay.

"You don't want anything?", I furrow my brows.

"Nope I'm not hungry"

"Alright, but you can't have none of my fries!", I warn him with a serious face.

"I'm so scared", he teasingly says putting his hands up.

"Douche"

"Waddup bro", a tall light skinned man who looks in his mid 30's with tattoos all over his body greets Eli.

"How you been it's been a minute", Eli greets back shaking his hand.

"I know you disappear little munchkin", the man snorts.

"Busy you know", Eli grins taking a seat on the black leather chair.

"Bro I would like to introduce you to my girl Gia", Eli smiles at me.

"Gia meet my boy skrillex"

"Hi nice to meet you", I nervously say.

"The pleasure is mine", the man I came to know as Skrillex smiles.

"Wow this is the first time I see you bring a girl around", Skrillex nudges Eli.

"She put a spell on me", Eli chuckles throwing me a smirk.

"Oh gosh", I giggle rolling my eyes.

"Good... Gia keep him out of trouble", Skrillex nods at me while he sets everything up.

"No problem", I grin at the both of them.

"So are we finishing up the sleeve today?", Skrillex asks.

"Yup", Eli lays his head back.

"I'm going to sit over there and eat my fries", I chirp in feeling my stomach growl louder.

"Alright babe", Eli winks.

Those winks

It's been a couple of hours and my phone battery is at 10%.

"Babe"

I quickly look up seeing Eli smiling.

"Your done?", I yawn stretching my arms out.

"Yup.. What do you think?", Eli smirks walking closer to me.

Eli's sleeve👆🏽

"I love it!", I squeal examining every single detail.

If I thought Eli was hot before he's definitely a thousand times hotter now.

He's so fucking fine

"Oh how I missed you drooling over me", Eli snorts.

"Shut up", I sneer feeling embarrassed.

"You were drooling", Skrillex chirps in chuckling.

I throw a death glare at Skrillex making him bust out in laughter even more than before.

"Alright alright we'll stop before Gia kills us", Skrillex huffs from all the laughing.

"Alright bro thanks for the hook up", Eli handshakes Skrillex.

"It was nice to meet you", I say giving him a handshake as well.

"Indeed.. Bye love birds", he splutters.

"So are you going to finally tell me who's that fool from earlier?", Eli raises a brow as we sit in my living room.

Ugh

I really don't even want to deal with this bullshit.

I literally barely get released form juvenile hall and step right into another drama.

Why did Ray have to come back seriously.

"He's Ray", I bluntly scoff rolling my eyes.

"What the fuck", he growls.

"This is why I didn't want to tell you who he was at school", I sigh.

"This whole time he was right in front of my face and I just sat there. If I would of known I would of beaten his ass!", Eli grunts.

"You are not doing shit Elias!", I firmly scold.

"What he did to you is fucked up, yet he still has the nerve to fucking talk to you like nothing ever happened!"

"Babe please"

"I can't promise shit!", he sneers crossing his arms across his chest.

"You better not or I'm going to be pissed at you.. My birthday is this Saturday and I would love for us to be in good terms", I raise a brow throwing him a serious face.

"Uhm", Eli mumbles.

Great

I have to babysit Eli now just to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid when Ray is present.

Ugh!

Eli and Ray in the same school kicking it in the same spot.

There's no way this is going to stay neutral for long.

Francia's POV

"TELL ME THE TRUTH!!!", Julius shouts punching me on my face for the third time.

"I don't know anything!", I yell as tears slide down my red swollen cheeks.

"Don't fucking lie to me bitch I know Eli has been lying to me about her!"

"Eli hates me why the fuck would I even have anything to do with him!", I huff.

"Oh really? Then WHY THE FUCK DOES YOUR PHONE RECORD SAY OTHERWISE?!", Julius hisses grabbing a patch of my hair making me wince from the pain.

"W-What?"

"In the record it clearly states you've been having phone calls with Eli", he roars.

"I don't know what your talking about!"

"LIAR!", he growls throwing me to the floor kicking me in my stomach.

I scream from enduring all the pain I'm currently feeling from every hit, kick, punch, slap, and hair pulling.

"Kill her boss!", one of Julius workers chirps in.

"You know what your right", Julius evilly grins pulling out his gun pointing it right to my face.

"No! Please Julius please!"

"Say bye slut!", he says with pure anger in his dark eyes.

"Fine I'll tell you everything, but please don't kill me!", I beg my whole body shaking from fear.

"Good girl", Julius bluntly says putting his gun back in his jeans.

"Start talking before I blow your brains out this time!", he grunts.

"He never left Gia.. He just said that, so you won't go after her.. He knows everything!", I sniffle.

"HOW DOES HE KNOW? DID YOUR WORTHLESS ASS TELL HIM?!"

"No, he followed me and over heard our conversation the day Gia got locked up"

"Eli has no idea what's about to strike his precious little bitch!", he says evilly laughing.

"What are you going to do?", I sob holding my side where my ribs are as it's throbbing from pain.

"I'm going to kill her"

"And your going to bring her to me"
