Fairy Tale

Chapter 20: Rumors

Minho sat through his first classes, tapping his pen almost as much as Thomas beside him. He couldn't get his mind off Emily. Why would she be crying. Maybe he could text Sonya... The bell rang and he was out the door as fast as he could. He was going to try and find her between classes. He kept his head on the swivel, he couldn't see her, but she was kind of short, and hard to see her in this crowd. 

He growled, frustrated with how full the halls were. He didn't notice the eyes following him, his mind was on a mission. He had to slid to a stop, someone stepped directly in front of him. To his major annoyance it was Brenda. 

"What?" He snapped. 

"My my, someone is cranky today." Her voice was was sickly sweet. Minho growled and crossed his arms. 

"What the shuck do you want?" He asked again, "If it's not important I have things to do." 

"Oh yeah...things to do...like your new little girlfriend? I heard she was good in bed. That true?" She asked, her over innocent face made him want to punch her. 

"What the shuck are you guys up to?" He growled and narrowed his eyes. 

"I'm up to nothing. I'm just asking if the rumors are true..."  

"Where is she?" He snarled, he could fell the anger bubbling inside him, his hands formed fists, he would never hit a girl, ever, but she was trying his patience. "Where is Emily, and what did you do to her?" 

"Oh! We did nothing..." she flipped her hair, and sniffed, "But rumors of a girl who'll do whatever where ever and when ever goes around..." She shrugged and just about skipped away. 

Minho threw a fist into the locked beside him, with a snarl. The people still in the hall looked at him with surprise. The bell rang and he spun around and stormed off to class. He stopped in the door, forgetting that Emily was in his Bio class. Sitting in the far side between Jeff and Clint was Emily. Before he could go talk to her, Miss Mary came in told them all to sit. Minho threw himself on a chair, he hardly paid attention. Emily sat still, head down, diligently taking notes. Jeff leaned in a few times and she would just nod or shake her head. 

"Hey...Hey, cap." Minho looked around, Ben was leaning over his desk with a smirk. 

"What Ben?" He sighed, he was done with the school day and he still had an afternoon full of advanced classes and practice. 

"I want details. Is slugger as good as I've heard, compared to Tes...?" 

"The shuck is your problem?" 

"Just asking, you two together now?" 

"No. And I don't know where these shuck rumors are coming from." 

"Oh, your not together?" Ben asked, "Is it like a friends with benefits kinda thing, cuz that's hot." 

"Shut your shuck mouth Ben." Minho's voice was dangerously quiet. 

The bell rang, and he went to pack his stuff up, and grab Emily, he needed to talk to her.

"Fine. If she's available then I'll go for it. Cuz dang she's fine!" 

Minho spun around so fast. Anger made his eyes flash. The rest of the guys backed up, they knew when a line was crossed, Minho never aloud this kind of talk in the locker room or on the field, they also knew his moods, they hadn't seen him this angry in a long time. Thomas tried to grab his arm. But it was too late, Minho swung a fist into Ben's face. His mouth exploded in a spray of blood. 

"Stay the shuck away from her." He growled. 

"Minho!" Miss Mary cried, rushing forward. Whoever was left in the class had seen Minho swing a fist. He shook his hand out, looking around to the teacher. Feeling kind of guilty, not about hitting Ben, but he liked Miss Mary as a teacher and didn't want to cause trouble for her.
