Skyler
After I walked Riley home the sun was starting to set.
I walked alone down the street until a few guys from the team walked right toward me.
I recognized Blaine, our vice-captain. Second to me on the team.
As usual I expected them to give some cheesy hand shake or say random stuff to try and be funny but they didn't.
One shoved me right into a wall behind me then worked together with another guy to hold me in place.
I tried to get them off but when the third guy started talking all I could do was listen.
"You and that Riley chick huh? I've been watching her for a long, long time. Always assumed she's tight as hell...would be nice to-"
Just then I flipped.
Flinging more than a few curse words at him I threatened to kill him if he hurt Riley.
He swung, hitting me right in the cheek bone.
"Listen here Skyler, you're one of us, don't ruin your reputation with that pathetic girl. Pick up one of the cheer chicks, they're more fun anyway."
Then he swung again causing a sickening crack in my side.
The pain was quickly covered with adrenaline when he went to swing again.
Before he could hit me an officer pulled onto the street in his car.
"You keep the girl, but don't expect the team to like it. I still think you should drop her for a cheerleader but whatever. Your OUR captain, and don't forget it."
When he walked away the other two dropped me.
Thankfully the officer saw me and drove me to the hospital.
A few hours later I was back home arguing with my parents that I was ok and I hoped that Riley would believe me if I told her I fell down the stairs... even though I knew she wouldn't.
After a restless night I walked into class hoping to avoid the team entirely.
That was until I remembered that there were three teammates in this class.
Maybe they don't know about last night.
"Are you ok?" Riley looked over and asked quietly.
Just then I decided I was going to tell her the truth.
"We need to talk later, but don't worry it's not about you."
I saw her sigh a small breath of relief when I added the last part.
That gave me the power to get through the day.
