Some good on the bad side

-3 years ago-

Elle rummaged through her closet searching for the perfect dress to wear on her date. She sighed. Darren was the bad boy in Farington high which meant that getting his attention and a date was considered out of her league. But she had started dating him a few weeks ago and now she was madly in love.

Finally finding the dress she had been looking for, Elle took it out of her closet and laid it carefully in the bed. She put on a shower cap and getting her shaving kit she glanced at the clock and quickly got into the bathroom. It was 3.30 already and she had only an hour and a half before her date with Darren.

Elle got out in 40 minutes and rushed to get ready. She put on her blue high waist ripped jeans and a grey off-shoulder crop top with some lace trim. She sat down in front of the mirror and applied some light makeup. She wore a few rings on her fingers and a black choker with a butterfly locket around her neck. Seeing as the time was just 4.30 she decided to straighten her brown locks which came halfway down her back. She finished straightening her hair and looking at the time again decided to leave it down.

Her cellphone pinged as she received a message. It was from Darren.

From: Darren

Sorry, baby, I can't come to pick you up. Plz come and meet me in Terry's café. I'm sure you know where it is. See you soon.

It's okay. Maybe something came up. Elle thought as she put her phone in her pocket and put on some grey flats. She ran downstairs and out the door.

"Bye, mom. I'll be back soon. ", she told her mom who was feeding the dog outside and ran towards Terry's.

As she entered Terry's cafe she was surrounded by the amazing aroma of coffee and for a minute she closed her eyes and relished the smell. Then snapping back to reality she looked around only to find that Darren was not there. Maybe he's late. I'll call him. She went out of the cafe and to the alley nearby for better reception.

She was so focused on the phone that she didn't see the couple making out against the alley's wall. Elle tripped on a stone and looked up and froze as she looked at the couple, specifically the guy whose body was pressed against the D-cupped brunette. No. This can't be happening.

"Darren? ", she called out confused.

The guy lifted his head and his eyes widened as they fell upon her.

"Erica? What are you doing here? I didn't know you would get here so soon."

"My name is Elle. I'm here for my date which happens to be here, with you apparently. And how could you not know I'd get here soon? You walked me to my house on so many days and every time, we passed by the cafe which is only 2 blocks away from my house.", Elle replied now fuming.

"Well, you could have come a little late. I was getting some here. ", he smirked.

That did it. Elle's anger burst out and she started shouting at him.

"You son of a bitch! Why the hell did you date me if all you wanted was to get laid? Didn't you have enough whores to get it? I spent all evening getting ready and this is what I get? If you were gonna be such an asshole then you didn't have to date me. And the way I see it I'm sure you have been cheating on me from day one haven't you?", she screamed and concluded it with a string of very colorful words which would have made the sailors proud.

Suddenly, Darren slapped her and the sound echoed in the alley, cutting the silence. Before Elle registered what was happening he twisted her right arm and pinned her against the wall with him behind her.

"Shut up, bitch. I will do what I want and get what I want. You are just a vulnerable girl who has nothing better to do than to be the dirt under my shoe.", he whispered in her ear making her squirm.

"That's it. You better shut your mouth and clench your teeth, you manwhore. You don't know what's coming. ", Elle muttered in quick succession and swiftly bent her hand and pushed her arm back with all the power she could muster.

Her elbow hit him square on the jaw and the impact caused him to loosen his grip on her. She twisted her right arm and gripped his hand pulling him towards her. She kicked him in the gut and he fell to the ground. With the self-defense done, she decided to proceed and let out her anger on being insulted. She straddled him and started punching him on the face, dodging and deflecting occasionally as he tried to hit her back.

It'll bruise beautifully, turning his face black and blue. We'll see how you'll 'get some' while you look like that. She thought and smiled mentally. Elle got up and looked at the man writhing in pain below her.

"I can't believe that I actually loved a shitbag like you. Fuck you.", she said and for her own personal satisfaction, Elle kicked him in the balls and smiled when his face scrunched up in pain.

"Please...Stop... Please", Darren begged with tears in eyes and cringed as she bent down and put her mouth near his ear.

"That will teach you not to cheat on and also try to harass a girl. It'll also serve as a reminder as to not mess with the daughter of an expert martial artist. Don't. Ever. Mess. With. Me. The name is Elle Jacobs. ", she whispered and walked out of the alley with tears streaming down her face and the hatred for bad boys blooming in her heart.

Two days later, Elira Jacobs transferred out of Farington high and people heard she moved to Australia.
