The Key Lies Between Both Worlds

Chapter 24

Narrator

   Amy looked into the eyes of Jack, all she seen was pure bitterness.

  Amy tried to clear things up a bit but it only made things worst. "It was a few months before you started watching me, right when school first started. I guess it's a tradition in my school for the Sophomore boys to mess around with the new Freshmen girls as a joke. Well, a few of the Sophomores cornered me in the hall when I was heading to Math class on day. They started saying crap about how I read too much and that pretty girls like me shouldn't read, because it makes them seem nerdy." Jack stared at Amy with such bitterness, Amy was almost afraid the bitterness was for her. Jack bitterness could surely be heard through his tone of voice when he muttered under his breath. "Fools..." Amy continued as a shiver went throughout her body. "My smart ass had to throw back a comment and I told the one that said the book thing, "You only think that because you rather have a dumbass as a girlfriend so you can get fucked every weekend rather than have a smart girl that would reject you within a second because they would obviously see how big of a douche bag and dick head you really are."

Jack looked like he almost would of gave a grin, but then that same thick bitterness was still there. He continued to wait, wanting her to continue on with the story.

   Amy mumbled as the memory of it played through her eyes like a movie. "The guy that I said the comment to said that I was pushing my luck and being a smart ass when I shouldn't because I was only a freshman and should listen to them because they were my elders. I laughed at them and said they were a bunch of dick heads and I would rather listen to rock because it was smarter than them." Amy pulled on the very tip of her hair, as a pained look filled her expression. "They had enough of me and the main Sophomore that I kept on back talking to, slammed me against the wall. He had his friends help pin me against the wall, and the main one kept on saying how I was just an idiotic little girl that didn't know any better. He reached for my chest about to grope me and said that this would teach me a lesson. But thankfully one of the female history teachers turned down the hall at the same time the main sophomore was about to touch me. The teacher yelled at them. They all got off of me and warned me next time they seen me they would do worst things then that to me." Jack flew up to his feet as he roared loudly, to loud for Amy's taste. "The bastards! How would any school let that happen, especially if the teacher seen the boys!?"

    Amy gave a bitter hushed laugh as she shook her head. "They were all in sports, and they were all their sports top players. If the teacher would go to their coaches, the coaches would say I was making up shit so they wouldn't be able to play in their games. In my school, if you're in any sport, then your invincible to any kind of punishment for doing something wrong." Jack roared again; his fists was clutched. "That's utter bull shit!" Amy nodded but then Leaf entered the bathroom.

    Leaf popped his head into the bathroom as he barked. "What the living bat hell are you cussing up a storm for!? I can hear your mere voice from thee living room!" Jack stuck up his hand to shush Leaf as he barked at Amy. "What did your father do when you told him?" Amy hung her head as she stared down at the closed wound, the wound was closed and healed but left a small white thread looking scar down her arm. "I never told him. He would have blamed me for causing such drama to happen because I have such a smart mouth."

Leaf walked into the bathroom as he crossed his arms and leaned against the bathroom wall by the light switch. "Oh, dear me. Ma lady is most literally opening up to us lads about that step father of hers finally."

Jack looked as if he wanted to rip off Leaf's head, Amy was feeling the same emotion towards him as well.

Jack gave a bitter look as he gritted his teeth. "This is all utter bull shit, no things like that should ever be done to anyone, especially you!" Amy just gave a shrug, not knowing how Jack words in the present could fix the past.

    Jack rubbed the bridge of his nose as Leaf jokingly said. "Poor Jack's wee head might blow up off his skeleton, if another horrible thing is done to ma lady." Jack whipped around on the balls of his heels as he threatened Leaf. "I'm so close to chopping off your very head." Leaf gave a smug grin as he winked at Amy from in front of Jack. "That sure would be a sight to see for ma lady. When she sees a street rat like myself kick a royal guard's mere ass with a single look of my handsome, striking eyes."

Jack started growling and Leaf gave a growl back but had a smug grin on, as Jack had a death look on.

   Sir Parker walked into the bathroom, having must heard enough of the conversation to scold both boys. "You both act just like young lads all over again. At each other's throats like brothers. I'm tired of the poor Princess seeing such disgraceful things. Take it outside in the sparing ring or behave yourself like real men you both are supposed to be. Especially in front of the Princess."

Amy's skin itched at the word princess, the reality of it all had still not hit her. Yet.
