Chapter 5: Family Love
💔Amalie's POV💔

I wait outside of the school in my car for Landon to get out here. About 3 minutes later he arrives with a second back pack on his front side.

He gets in the car and puts his backpack in between his legs but he doesn't take off the bag on his chest. "Whats in there?" I start driving towards home. "Nothing."

"Yeah right let me see."he pulls away. "Landon you're going to give me that bag and I swear to god if I see drugs in there you're sleeping in the shed for a week. We dont deal drugs at school or in general. That's the Summers job—you don't need a target on your back. " He groans and shows me when we reach a red light.

Not drugs.. in fact something you wouldn't expect at all. A football uniform. "You're on the football team?" I ask him, more surprised that he didn't tell me earlier."Yeah" he quietly says. "JV or Varsity?"

"Uh.. Varsity". He hesitates . "That's cool what position?" I ask, being interested in this. "Quarterback.." he answers slowly. "Wait so you're not mad that I'm on the team?" I turn off my music. "First off.. ouch. I'm more mad that you thought you couldn't tell me, Secondly.. how long have you been on the team?"

"The game season started weeks ago, all those parties I've been going to were 95% football practices and games ." He says smugly. "How did I not notice?" I ask myself more then him. "I ask myself the same thing." He laughs. We sit quietly as I drive home

"I hid it because I thought you would be mad because I don't want to be a fighter or racer. At least for now, fighting sounds cool but I don't want it getting in the way of football." He smiles.

"Well sooorrry" I joke and punch his shoulder."But still you could've told me, if anything this will toughen you up for when you're on the field... with us not them." He puts his hand on my thigh and smiles. "Thanks Lee that means a lot to me.

Butterflies again... what the actual fuck

"So that guy you were about to tell me about, who is he?" He asks and I am confused "Who? What? When?" He laughs and shakes his head. "When you said you have guy for fighting." I forgot I said that.

"Oh! My great pal Tony Donatello. He's my coach, but he is one of the best underground fighters I've ever seen. Sadly he's retired but luckily for you, he is looking for new people to teach. I think you'd be a perfect fit. You're quick on your toes, you're pretty agile and a good mix of lean and buff." I poke his side and it's hard.

"Wow Lee I didn't thi-" I cut him off "I'm gonna stop you right there, if you let that go to your ego then I won't tell Tony about you." He stopped. "Reow Reow." He says, like a cat in a fight.

I chuckles and roll my eyes. "When can I start?" I grab my phone. "Try right now." I call his secretary's number. "Is that beautiful Amalie Smith calling me? Oh it is! What can I do for you darlin?" Sarah Charles is a cute little southern girl who has the biggest crush on Tony.

Everyone knows it except Tony. Me and Sarah are pretty close because we used to be practicing partners before she stopped due to a lot of injuries. "It is! Can I speak to the big boss man?" I ask her. "Well of course darlin let me go see where he is." It goes silent for a bit.

I pull into our driveway and go into the garage that's already open which means one of the twins is working. They have a open 6th period so they leave after lunch. We're greeted by them fighting over something. We step out of the car. "Oi! What is going on here?" I say sounding Australian for no reason.

"You okay there darlin?" Sarah asks. "Yeah is Tony ready?" I get it off speaker. "He is in a meeting with a potential fighter, if you ask me he's wasting his time. The dudes 5'4 and is scared of bugs. He'll be out in about 2 minutes"

"Okay give me a second I might have to kick someone's ass."I mute myself. "What the hell is going on?"

"Atreus keeps harassing me about Michael!" Atticus points at Atreus. "Trea why are you harassing poor Baby Atty about his crush."I joke, getting a laugh from Landon. "Don't call me that." They said in perfect unison. "Okay damn noted"

"Wait.. how you know I like Michael?" Atticus looks at me wide eyes. "You just confirmed it for me." I say smugly with a smirk on my face. "Ha! I told you, you do like Micheal!" Atticus blushes.

We all say an 'aww' and he blushes more. "He obviously likes you too." Atreus laughs. "Ohhh yeah he absolutely does." I say, laughing as well. "Hit him up and ask him out in a date!"

"No! Absolutely not" His eyes go wide "So you're telling me that you're not afraid to rob banks and shoot and kill people, but you're afraid to ask someone who likes you back out on a date?" I antagonize him. "Who says I'm not afraid of doing illegal things?" He shrugs and I chuckle "touché."

"Darlin you there?" I hear Sarah ask. I unmute and put it on speaker. "Yes of course! And I didn't have to kick anyone's ass.... yet." Atreus' eyes go wide. Suddenly, Atreus grabs Atticus' phone and runs. "Give it back you mother fucker!"

"Nope I'm calling Micheal for you!" Atreus yells as they run towards the backyard. "Ms. Smith how pleased I am to hear your voice." Tony speaks. Me and Landon go inside while talking to Tony. "So Little Landon wants to be a fighter? I knew it." He sounds happy.

"Really?" Landon asks with his eyebrows furrowed. "Yes of course! You would always beat your brothers up while playing games, Both your parents always thought since you were the youngest they let you win—but I knew you were born to be a fighter. I'll tell you what, you and Miss. Smith can come in tomorrow afternoon after school, and I'll give you a tour and we can work out a deal."

"Thank you Tony! I will make it up to you one day." I thank him. "Don't bother Ms. Smith, choosing me to be Landon's coach is payment enough. You're gonna be rich kid, I hope you're ready to take a beating."
