1.6 Some Things Do Change

I wake up to my alarm and groan. I check my phone and see that Miguel canceled our morning workout. He said he wanted to head to school early to talk to a teacher. I smile relieved when I notice I can sleep for another half hour. I pull my covers over, wasting not a second of my snooze time.

*45 minutes later*

I finish brushing my teeth and head to my room to get dressed. I put on a white sweater and some black knee ripped jeans.

I grab my keys and kiss my dad's head before heading out the door.

When I get to school all I hear people talking about is Sam. I walk up to Aisha who was putting her books in her locker.

"Hey, what's going on? I've heard Sam's name like 5 times already." I ask looking around at all the gossipers. Aisha laughs.

"Yeah apparently she and Kyler went down the movies and she well went down on Kyler." She laughs again. I'm still left confused. Sam might hang out with a bunch of stuck up snobs, but she didn't seem like the type to do that.

I was so deep in thought that I hadn't even realized that Aisha had said goodbye and was walking away.

I decide to leave it alone and head to class.

I suffer through the first classes while the teachers give long off-topic storytimes. I'm literally in Government and the teacher is talking about how she came up with the names for her cats. 

I was just about to fall asleep when I'm saved by the bell. I head to the bathroom to wash my face in hopes of waking myself up. My phone rings.

"Hey, Demetri what's up?"

"You better get to the cafeteria."

"What why?"

"Miguel's about to confront Kyler. Looks like there's gonna be a fight. Oh shit."

I hear the 'oos' of kids in the background.

"They're fighting!"

"Ok, I'm on my way!"

I burst out of the bathroom and take off to the lunchroom in a full sprint. Luckily I wasn't too far away.

I see Miguel slither out of Kyler's chokehold, punching him in the face. Aisha cheers 'No Mercy' and I see Brucks about to attack Miguel from behind.

"Miguel behind-" He ducks down swiping Brucks's legs. Then another guy comes at Miguel from behind. I act quickly. I slide across a table grabbing a lunch tray. I hit the guy on the back making him release Miguel. Miguel turns around and kicks him in the stomach sending him flying back. 

We nod at each other and move towards the other two who were coming at us. I throw a punch and it hits him square in the nose. He doubles over in pain I take the opportunity to take a 360 crescent kick to his face. He falls unconscious. I turn to Miguel who rolled over a table grabbing a lunch tray. He uses it to fend off two of Kyler's friends.
