Hiding From The Demons - Jonathan Kent

School - Chapter 17

Jonathan's POV

When I got to school I went into the office and got my schedule and locker combination. I was on my way to the locker when I saw Sarah come up to me.

"Hey Jonathan," she said.

"Hey Sarah" I said as I walked to my locker.

"Where's Jordan? He didn't come with you?" She asked, looking around.

"Uhh No. He didn't. He isn't going to come to school for a few weeks." I said while putting my locker combination in.

"Why is he okay?" she asked worriedly. I was internally panicking. I didn't ask Jordan what he wanted me to say.

"The school at Metropolis lost one of his papers that he needed in order to transfer to this one. So my parents have to talk to the school district.. And it's this whole big thing." I said hoping any of that could actually happen. She just nodded.

"Well that suck's." She said,

"Yeah. Well if it makes you feel better my parents should have everything settled in like two weeks." She just gave me a smile.

"Well how are you liking the school?" She said as I started walking to my class.

"It's nice. Just weird without Jordan." I said getting my books.

"Are you going to try out for football?" She asked.

"Yeah I talked to the coach on Friday he gave me a playbook and he's going to see how well I do."

"Well that's good. What position do you play?"

"I play Quarterback or Wide Receiver." I turn to her but she looks behind me with a worried look. I looked behind me to see her boyfriend and all his little friends.

"Well too bad we already have a QB." He said while giving me a look. Sarah looked at me with a worried expression.

"I didn't see your brother, is he too afraid to face me after I kicked your asses." He said while laughing. I was seeing red when he said that. Unconsciously my hands went to fists.

No come on Jon just take a deep breath he's not worth it. I said to myself. Sarah, seeing this got in front of me.

"Stop. I was just talking to him. You can't just pick on everybody that I talk to! I'll see you at lunch" Sarah said to her boyfriend, causing him to leave but not before hitting my shoulder on his way. I was still trying to calm myself down.

"Hey.. Are you okay now. Jordan told me sometimes you have trouble walking away from fights." I looked at her confused. He wouldn't have told her. Would he?

"I don't know what you talking about" I said unclenching my fists, while giving her a smile.

"Thanks for that by the way." I say about to walk away.

" Of course." She said walking the other way. Once she leaves I just sigh and readjust my bag before going to my classes.

**************** Time skip to Football practice****************

I walked into the coaches office ignoring Sarah's boyfriend that is giving me death glares. I knocked on his office.

"Coach."

"Ahh yes. Jonathan I talked to your coach in Metropolis and he told me a little about yourself. He said he was very sorry to lose you on his team." I just smiled, waiting for him to continue.

"I expect great things from you."

"Of course Coach." He threw me a uniform.

"Well get dressed and let's see how you play." I just nodded before leaving and getting dressed.

When I got out in the field he asked me to come to him.

"This is Jonathan Kent. He is going to be playing receiver today." He said and then he explained the play to us.

I was playing and I was doing really well. All the running was helping my endurance so I was able to play well without getting as tired. At the end of practice I was exhausted but not anywhere as much as I would have been if I hadn't started running.

"Great practice! This is what I like to see. Jonathan, you made the team." He said, patting my back. I was smiling and half the team started cheering while the other half gave me glares.

When I got in the locker room most people had finished getting ready since I had to ask the coach where my locker was. After I got dressed I walked out to see Sarah's boyfriend and all his goons.

"You better watch yourself," He said before pushing me against the wall. I knew better than to start a fight with him saying that he had like 10 guys with him. He just walked away.

Kind of dramatic if you ask me. I just got my backpack and started to walk to the front of the school.

Today was crazy. I'm happy that I made the team but today I played better than I have in a long time and now the coach is going to expect nothing less than that. I should have thought this through better.

I'm starting to get sore but when I get home I'm going to run a few miles before bed. The good thing is that there's no practice until Wednesday. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I couldn't see my mom's car.

That's weird she should have been here a while ago. I just shrugged it off and went under the tree and did some homework. I waited half an hour more before I just decided to run home. That way I could workout now and just go to sleep later.

I ran home which is about a 4 mile run which is more than I would do at home so I was happy. I was all sweaty and tired though. I knew that I wouldn't be able to run home and run before school so I would just stop running in the morning and run after practice to come home.

I went inside to see everybody gone so I just took a shower. When I got out I went into the kitchen and I made a sandwich. I then got a phone call right when I was about to eat it. I just groaned putting my sandwich down.

"Hello"

"Jonathan! I'm sorry I got caught up on a lead. I'm about to pick you up from school right now!" She said, almost panicking.

"Mom, it's fine. I just ran home. I took a shower and I'm eating right now."

"Honey, I'm so sorry."

"Don't worry about it, I actually really like running home. I would be down to run home from school everyday,"

"Honey that's pretty far to be running everyday ...and everything with superman and all of his new enemies. Plus I don't want you to push yourself too much."

"I'll be fine just think about it."

"Okay we'll talk when I get home"

"Okay, well if you want you can go back to work if you need to I can handle everything here." I said caving and stuffing my face in the sandwich.

"Are you sure your dad and Jordan are probably not going to be there for a few more hours."

"Yeah that's fine" I said mumbling since I had food in my mouth.

"What honey I couldn't hear you?" I got a glass of water before repeating what I said.

"I said that's fine."

"Okay but call me if you need me and I am really sorry Jon."

"I know it's fine. Bye mom"

"Bye" I ended the call and finished my sandwich before going up into my room and falling asleep.

I wanted to make the coach nice instead of the one in the show. I do have a plan to where the coach will be working for Morgan Edge ;)

I imagine the coach to be Coach Baker from All American but you guys can imagine whoever you want.
