Protecting The Storm

•7•

Parker P.O.V.

The week passed without much Storm, she had been coming home late and nobody but Mr. and Mrs. Jones knew where she was. Also nothing happen with Asher lately. Aubrey has tried pretty much every move in the book on Storm but its like Storm knows everything she's going to try.

On Wednesday during lunch Aubrey tried spilling lunch on Storm's shirt which she accomplished but it didn't last long because apparently Storm had another shirt in her locker so she then poured milk on Aubrey's head and grabbed grape juice from someones plate and poured it on her shirt so it would stain. Since Aubrey didn't have an extra shirt so she had to walk around the rest of the day with a milk and grape juice covered outfit.

Throughout the next day Aubrey tried tripping Storm but Storm saw every attempt and walked or jumped over Aubrey's foot then shooting Aubrey with a smirk as she walked away. At the end of the day Storm walked away unharmed and happy as can be but Aubrey walked out as frustrated and angry as ever.

Today was Friday and the day was going fine until I heard someone call my name. I turn around to see my friend Jacob standing behind me, looking a little anxious.

"What's up?" I say casualty.

"Asher, he's being really rude to a girl. He wont let her leave." He says frantically

"Where?" I say starting to follow him down the hall.

When we round a corner I see Asher pinning a girl up against the wall.

"Hey! Is he bothering you?" I ask walking up to them. She nods her head yes as she looks at me frightened.

"Asher, get away from her." I say calmly, not wanting to start anything. Asher loosens his grip on the girl enough for her to slip through, dashing through the halls to get away. He turns to me, hatred filling his eyes.

"What's your problem Parker! We were just having a friendly conversation." He snapped.

"A friendly conversation? That girl looked terrified! I don't have a problem, but you on the other hand just pinned a girl against the lockers." I yell pointing in the direction the girl went.

"You cant always be the hero Parker."

"Excuse me? What are you even talking about? I'm not a hero, all I did was get you to leave her alone." I say confused.

"You have to be the one to save the day don't you? You have to be the one in charge just like in Football and Soccer." He said. Really, this is what hes talking about! I just stare at him with a confused and annoyed look as he went on.

"You shouldn't be the team captain in football anymore. I challenge you, winner takes the place as team captain." He says. Wait he challenged me? Can he even do that? As our argument goes on the crowd starts to grow and I see Emmett and Storm with concerned eyes watching.

"Okay meet me at the football field tomorrow for laps, and distance throwing." I reply.

"No, I challenged you so I get to pick what we do." He says then he looks at Emmett. "Your dad still own that gym down town right?" Emmett nods. Oh gosh.

"We'll fight there, he has fights every Friday, so we'll fight tonight." He says grinning. What? I don't know how to fight!

"That's not even related to football and it's not fair because I don't know how to fight and you do!" I point out.

"It doesn't have to be related to football, but since It has to be at least a little fair, I'll give you one month to learn and then we fight." He growls out before turning around and walking away. I look at Emmett, not seeing Storm anymore.
