————————————————————
"So how's Jessi holding up? I can't believe she ran away with Jay" Aunt Diane asked at the dinner table. Zamora wasn't really eating, she was just mindlessly playing Minecraft under the table with Ethan. Zamora and Ethan were practically everywhere with each other, if you see one of them the other is not far behind, originally Ethan wasn't suppose to be at dinner with them, Diane thought it would be best if the two had some space.
So Zamora in all her manipulative glory made the argument, 'so Nicolas best friend can come over but mine can't? Do you not love me anymore Aunty? Is that why you're saying this?' Accompanied by a few sniffles and tears, and just like that Ethan was invited.
"It's a real cry for help, remember when Judd ran away and came back a week later?" Elliot added. "How do you know I'm the real Judd?" Judd mused in his angsty brooding way. "I'm pretty sure Jessie's fine, we've been focused on....some other things" Nicolas and Andrew giggled to themselves. "What are you little perverts talking about?" Leah asked them, Zamora could tell a very interesting conversation is about to be had so she paused her little game and observed.
"There's this new girl at school" Nick started.
"Well she's not new" Andrew cut in.
"But let's just say that her body is" Nick finished, fist bumping Andrew. "Now hold on, you boys don't just like this girl for her body do you?" Aunt D asked. "No no, she has a nice face too" Andrew answered like the perv he is, and he's not even the good kind of pervert he's that Mineta type of pervert (if you know who that is then I'm finna put a ring on it).
"Okay let's say I do like her breast, what's so wrong with that?" Nick questioned. "Well there's nothing wrong with that per se' boobs are fucking amazing, it's just how you guys are talking about it" Zamora chimed into the conversation. Both Andrew and Nick's mouths fell agape "I'm sorry, you look at boobs like in a lesbian way?" Nicolas asked Zamora stunned.
"Yes and no, sometimes I look at a girls boobs and go 'omg you're so pretty I wish mine looked like that' and other times I look at a girls boobs and go 'damn girl you looking fine can I get your number, ya know?" Zamora asked casually. "Women just admire each other's body in a way that men don't" Diane concluded making Leah and Zamora giggle.
(Lmao Murray somewhere like "Andrew I think the mother, sister, and childhood friend are about to fuck")
"Okay I just wanna clarify, it's okay for us to like boobs?" Nick asked skeptically. "Yes, but you can't treat a women like her boobs are all she is" Leah replied. "And if you're really interested in this girl, get to know her" Diane suggested. "Huh get to know her, perhaps I shall" Nick smiled creepily. "Ugh, don't say it like that dr. Tiny" Zamora groaned.
"You know I just realized something, every single person at this table has had Diane's breast in their mouth" uncle Elliot voiced.
"Well Uh" Andrew sputtered awkwardly. "Except for you Andrew and Ethan" Elliot corrected. Ethan looked at Zamora confused "what? My mother didn't want to breastfeed me when I was a baby" Zamora explained crossing her arms defensively.

"Ethan, Ethan!" Zamora yelled waving her hand in front of Ethans face. He shook his head and averted his eyes from wherever he was staring at "um what?" He stuttered, his ears going red. Zamora gave him a knowing look grinning "Oooo, you nasty lil boy you were staring at my boobs weren't you" Zamora laughed. "Shut up stupid" was the only thing Ethan said in defense, making Zamora laugh harder. Zamora calmed her laughter, keeping a goofy smile on her face, wiping away an imaginary tear "if you behave maybe I'll let you touch em' one day love" she ended with a wink, wheezing when Ethans face flushed a peach color.
Ethan knew she was joking, she flirts with all of her friends. Just yesterday she was flirting with both Missy and Jessie. Honestly Ethan wonders what her sexuality is cause this girl is definitely not straight, she's about as straight as a circle. "Alright I'm done, I'm done" Zamora said calming down again. She checked her phone "shit we're gonna be late to Algebra" she announced. There was a moment of silence before, "So you wanna go steal all the juice boxes from the cafeteria?" Ethan asked casually. "The fuck, of course I do what kind of question is that" Zamora answered already walking towards the cafeteria.
"What are you fuck-wads looking at?" Zamora asked, suddenly appearing behind Andrew and Jay. The said boys screamed before turning around to see it was Zamora, to which they froze staring at her (outfit is at the bottom btw). "Yo you motherfuckers deaf or something?" Zamora asked sipping on a stolen juice box, Ethan right next to her. They snapped out of whatever perverted trance they were in, stuttering like idiots. "Nick's talking to boo- I mean Gina, the new girl" Jay blurted out. Zamora thinks Jay's really weird but she still fucks with him, Andrew on the other hand, nah, mostly because he's Nick's best friend so it makes sense she wouldn't particularly like Andrew.
Being as they were still skipping Algebra Zamora and Ethan just decided to sit with Nick's friends. "Aww look at Nicolas shooting his shot, he gon' miss but at least he trying" Zamora joked Ethan laughing with her. "Nick is so lucky, breathing the same air as those perfect tits" Jay exasperated. "I can't believe he can just walk up to those boobs and then say, things" Andrew said grossly. "You guys are disgusting, just so you know" Zamora stated taking two more juice boxes out her bag, handing one to Ethan.
"I want to get my tongue pierced" Zamora told Ethan. Ethan looked at her strangely, "is there any particular reason why? You in the ten minutes we've been sitting down just decided you want a tongue piercing" Ethan asked rubbing his temples. You don't understand how much Zamora stresses him out at times, from the way she makes impulsive decisions like this, to the way she crosses the street like she has nine lives. "Don't be ridiculous Ethan I didn't decide just now, I decided this morning" she corrected, like that made any difference.
"Do you know any tattoo parlors around here?" Zamora asked. "Yes but who calls them parlors anymore" Ethan laughed. "I do, now where is it we're going after school" she told him, punching him in the are for making fun of her. "There's one at the mall near where my older brother lives, we'll have to take the train" he said getting up from the awkward lunch bench, also helping Zamora get up. "Ooo, do I finally get to meet your brother?" Zamora asked excitedly. ".....maybe" Ethan answered discreetly. Ethan loves talking about his brother, and the more he talked about him the more Zamora got curious about him.
___________________________________________
"Are we there yet Ethan?" Zamora asked sitting upside down in the train cart (don't worry, her skirt is somehow defying gravity). Ethan looked at the little screen that tells the stops, "we have about six more stops, then we have to walk three blocks" Ethan answered looking back down at his phone.
A snort was heard from Ethan making the very bored Zamora curious, "whatcha laughing at?" She asked sitting semi normally. "There's this video of my cousin beating the shit out of Nicks best friend" he said showing his phone. "Oh shit, is that Caleb? I didn't know Caleb's your cousin" Zamora said surprised, she knows most of the seventh graders since she does some work for all the teacher, for extra credit. "Yeah from my fathers side" he said putting his phone away. "You don't talk about your dad that much, don't you live with him" Zamora asked flipping back over in her seat, luckily no one else was in the train cart with them.
"There's not much to talk about, he's a piece of shit and that's all he has going for him" he says nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders. Zamora looked up at his frowning face, feeling bad she even asked. Wanting to change the subject she asked him, "have you ever ridden between train carts?" Zamora smiled. Ethan looked both confused and concerned, Zamora rolled off her seat and pulled him up from his, walking towards the back doors. "Is this safe?" Ethan asked innocently to which Zamora just cackled like a witch. "Hell no, I recommend you never do this without Zamora supervision" she laughed throwing open the door.
"Here put these in you ears" Zamora yelled over the train noise handing Ethan some ear plugs, while putting some in her own ears. Zamora went out the door first, carefully crossing over to the ledge of the other train cart, grabbing the pole attached to it. She then motioned for Ethan to stand on the ledge across from her and to close the door.
When they were both stable Zamora took a risk and checked her phone, Ethan watched as she counted down from five. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, she pointed to the right as they exited the tunnel they were in, they were now up high on a bridge where the view was amazing. Zamora thought the look on Ethans face was very much worth getting her outfit a little dirty.
While Ethan was admiring the view Zamora took a few pictures of the scenery, putting her phone away afterwards so she wouldn't drop it. They didn't even notice the people in the other train cart judging them (A/n: This is actually really dangerous so to the people who actually do this please be careful <3).
__________________________________________
"I'm nervous" Zamora said as they walked through the mall. Ethan stopped walking and looked at her like she was the dumbest person in the world, "motherfucker it took an hour for us to get here, I know you not getting second thoughts" he said looking at her. "Damn I'm not so chill, I think we spending too much time together you're starting to talk like me bitch" Zamora laughed continuing to walk. "Oh aiight, you better not be" he said walking up next to her. "You sound like my moms" Zamora noticed, disturbed by how much they sounded alike.
"This is the place" Ethan said pushing the door to the tattoo shop open. Zamora checked her bag to make sure she had her fake ID with her. "Yo Ethan, what's up man" a older looking boy (he about 17-18) with locks in his hair greeted Ethan. They did the homie handshake, you know the one where they lock they knuckles, bump they shoulder, and pat each other's back, yeah that one. "Zamora this is Leon, Leon this is-" Ethans introduction was interrupted, "Oh you're that girl from YouTube, Ziggy right?" Leon recognized. "Uh yeah, what do mean from YouTube? I don't have a YouTube channel" Zamora asked confused.
Leon told her how her song was on YouTube and how it has almost a million views. "Anyways what y'all came here for?" Leon asked them. "I'm getting my tongue pierced" Zamora said, quickly forgetting about the YouTube thing. "And I'm gonna get my ears pierced" Ethan said after, he's actually been thinking about getting another piercing for a while now. An even older looking guy (prolly in his 30's) advanced towards them, "I'm gonna need to see some ID" he said looking at them.
Ethan dug around in his backpack for his, while Zamora took hers out of her bag handing it to the guy, Ethan also handing his to him. He looked at the ID's then looked back at them "nineteen huh" he said suspiciously, knowing damn well they ain't nineteen.
"Yup" Zamora answered simply, her poker face in action.
"Your lucky I'm good friends with your brother Ethan" the guy said handing there ID's back. "Y'all go wait over there" the guy said gesturing to the waiting area. There was already two people over there and there was one seat left. So Zamora just made Ethan sit down, while she sat on his lap, this is another thing she did with her friends. His arm went around her waist to make sure her accident prone ass didn't somehow fall. "Kids these days, don't have no decency" Some old women said judging them.
"Ma'am this is a tattoo shop, what's your old ass doing here, don't you got some bingo game to go to" Zamora said glaring at the women. "Like damn your bags got bags, and your wrinkles got wrinkles, what are you in your nineties or something, my great grandmother looks younger than you, and why do old people always gotta make something sexual damn!." Zamora ranted. The women just stared with her mouth agape, not expecting anything to be said back, everyone who was watching the altercation stood looking just as shocked.
The women (who's actually in her early fifties) was going red with anger, she was about to say something though the look Zamora gave her made her stop "go ahead say something else lady, see where that takes you, I dare you" Zamora dared, standing up. "Oh okay" she said when she heard nothing from the women, sitting back down on Ethans lap. "Damn, you should've never said anything in the first place, now I'm pissed" Zamora mumbled under her breath with her arms crossed "got me acting all out of pocket and shit, I'm sorry for making a scene y'all, my bad" Zamora apologized to everyone who was watching.
"Damn girl" a balled guy who was getting a tattoo said.
Turns out the women who Zamora cursed out works there, and she has a reputation of being a salty as bitch, so the people there knew one of these days she was gonna say something to the wrong person. It was now Ethan's and Zamora's turn to get there piercings. Zamora was seated in the chair next to Ethan "Leon come here" the guy who was doing Zamora's piercing called. "Leon is an apprentice so he's gonna watch" the guy who's name is Thomas said.
Zamora was being prepped for the piercing while Ethan was getting pierced by another women in her mid-twenties. Zamora took out her phone and shot Ethan a text since she couldn't talk.
Zamora: Wanna get matching piercings? We could both get our septum pierced
Typing...
Ethan: bet, say less.
"Hey, we want our nose pierced to" Ethan spoke for the both of them. Thomas looked at Zamora, "your a bad influence" he said, resulting in Zamora flipping him off. At that exact moment Thomas pushed the needle through her tongue, she didn't even notice the needle was out. It hurt way less than what she thought, she didn't feel anything she was just surprised she wasn't given any warning. "Which bar do you want?" Thomas asked her, laughing at her shook face.
Zamora rolled her eyes, pointing at the steel medium length bar. "Alright I'm gonna tilt it at a angle so it doesn't touch your teeth" he told her, Zamora nodded her head in understanding. When their piercings were done they paid and left the shop.
"Do I get to meet your brother now?" Zamora asked slowly, her tongue was swelling and it hurt like a bitch. Ethan looked at his phone "ummm, damn he's at work right now, we finished earlier than I expected, you'll meet him eventually, for now let's get you some cold water and an aspirin" Ethan said throwing his arm over her shoulder.
A/N: I think the ending was a little rushed, oh well, I tried my best to make the chapter longer, if it sucks well then 🤷🏽♀️ <3.
