Blake

I'm in the locker room getting ready for gym class and Tyler's in a really sh*tty mood. He throws his things into a locker with such force that I think he's going to start breaking sh*t. I watch him as he launches his cell phone and it hits the back of the locker.

"What's the problem?" I ask him.

"I don't want to talk about it." He huffs and sits on a bench to tie his sneakers.

I have a horrible feeling in my gut that he saw me kiss Kelsey last night. I want to ask him about it but if he didn't see, then I don't want to hurt him.

"Is this about Kelsey?" I ask, trying to ease him into a conversation.

He punch's the lockers and my eyes widen. "I overheard Jake telling Matt Rogers that he's going to get into her panties. He said he'll have her eating out of his hand in no time..."

He looks ready to commit a murder, "...I hate that guy."

It takes a second to register in my brain and I don't even stop to think. I head straight for the door of the locker room and make my way out onto the football field. Jake's there warming up before practice and I go straight for him.

No one talks about her like that.

I can hear Tyler shouting my name behind me. I pay no attention as I charge at Jake. I knock him to the floor, hold him down with one hand and use my other to punch him in the jaw.

"What the f*ck are you doing? You crazy son of a b*tch!" Jake hollers and tries to defend his face.

I lean down to his ear, "you talk about Kelsey like that again...and I'll kill you." I know how menacing I sound and even I'd be scared of me right now.

I attempt to hit him again but the coach runs over and pulls me off.

"Get the hell off my field Palmer!" He shouts.

"Principles office...now!" He looks ready to explode and I walk off as casually as I can.

I wink at Tyler on my way and he smirks.

Kelsey

All that everyone seems to be talking about by the end of the day is how Blake punched Jake Turner in the face during gym.

I still don't know if the rumour's true and I can't understand why Blake would do that.

Jake's such a sweetheart.

I'm walking down the hall after school when I see Jake. He has purple bruising on his lower jaw and I know then that the rumour's must be true.

"Jake, what happened to your face?" He raises his eyebrows questioningly and his mouth forms a straight line.

"Your boy Blake happened. That's what." He's being defensive, like it's my fault.

"What do you mean?"

"He came over, punched me in the face and told me he'd kill me if I spoke bad about you again or something. I don't know. I guess he was chasing after some bullsh*t rumour." He turns to his locker and slams it shut with force.

"I'll talk to him okay?"

"Yeah." He replies, evidently still angry.

"I'll see you around?" I ask, hesitantly.
