We'll See (a jian fanfic)

5. Debate of football?

Jc pov

After filming the rest of the day went by pretty quick. Me and Connor went to English together but what we did what was all review for me. At lunch I sat at his table and he introduced me to some of his friends (Troye and Trevor). They both seemed pretty cool and we had a lot of stuff in common. After switching numbers with them the bell rang and I went to science; I was in honors physics III so you can imagine how fun that was...

Finally the bell rang marking the end of physics and I was able to shove all the notes, and papers back into my bag. My next class was double block history and it was the only class I didn't have as an honors course. I was the first one to arrive and the teacher gave me a warm smile.

"Hello! You must be Jc my new student?" she said motioning me to come towards her desk.

"Yah that's me..." 

"My name is Mrs. Adam..." she paused smiling

"Well I'll explain what we've been doing and then we'll find you a seat" she brought out some papers and started explaining about how they're learning about historical debates and court cases. After she finished she was able to find me a seat in the second row all the way to the right.

People started filing in and just like every other class they stared and whispered. I just looked down and buried my head in my note book. I only looked up when a couple of loud kids came in the room. There where all yelling and none noticed me as they walk to the back to the room.

"Nice one Ricky!!" I look over and see it's that Kian guy from filming. he looks totally different now ... instead of being quite he's loud, instead of being focused on his work he looks like he could care less about it... and the last thing instead of the teacher looking at him like he's a god she's looking at him with anger mixed with.... I guess you would call it sadness or pity?

"Kian, Ricky, Sam! Sit down.... We have talked about how you should enter this class."

"Yes Mrs. Adam" they all sighed in union.

"Okay! So first thing we will do today is collect the homework." She said, beginning to walk around the room to every desk pausing to get the homework; she stopped in front of Kian's...

"Do you have the homework Kian?" she said slowly almost gently... his happy go lucky face fell and he stared at the table for a second before handing her a paper with erase marks and cross outs all over it.

"I uh- had some trouble understanding it" he said biting his lip.

"It's okay" she sighed. "At least you did it" she smiled a bit before walking away.

"So. Today is going to be a little different.... We are going to be having an in class debate just like the ones we've been learning about!" everyone groaned.

"You are going to be split up into teams and the debate is going to be about which of two teams will most likely make it to the super bowl."  As she said this Kian's face lit up... wait why was I watching him????

"Anyways she continued there will be two team captains and they will pick the rest of their team... would anyone like to volunteer?" she looked around the room almost every hand was up except mine.

"Kian you will be the captain of one team and...." Please don't pick me, please don't pick me

"Jc you will be the other captain" shit! All eyes turned towards me, I think that this was the first time Kian even realized I was here.

"Ummm.... Okay" I said knowing I didn't have a choice. We picked groups (Kian picked all his friends of course) and she gave us our teams.

"Kian your team is the Seahawks, and Jc your team is the Patriots." 

(Okay so I know NOTHING about football so I'm just using the teams that were in the super bowl last year)

And with that we all went to researching our teams. My group was actually very supportive they looked up the stats of the two teams and compared them. We looked at past games/ super bowls our team had been in and took all the numbers from there; and finally we came up with a good argument with many solid points and stats.

"Okay everyone time is up for research! Position the desks on either side of the rooms and let's get this debate started!" Mrs. Adams called

The debate was hard and heated. I had completely forgotten that Kian was on the football team! His argument had to do with mainly play strategies and player performance and a lot of other stuff I didn't understand. Luckily I had one sports fan in my group who brought up some strong points. After we laid out all of our stats they really didn't have any rebuttals which made me a bit more confidant.

When we were done Mrs. Adams turned to a couple students who she had brought in as a "jury" to decide who won...

"And the winner is...." She said opening a piece of paper "Team Jc!!!"

My mouth dropped.... I just wanted to make a good argument I didn't expect to win!!!! All my team mates cheered I got high-fived and smiled at.... No one was staring at me like I was a freak anymore..... Except Kian. I walked over to him as the bell rang.

"Good job Kian! That was a great argument...You made a lot of great points." I smiled and held my hand out for a high-five but he just looked at it and bumped my shoulder as he walked away....

What's his problem? I just gave him a complement.... Sore loser maybe? ..... I thought to myself. But it seemed like more than that ......we'll see I guess
