Cross My Heart I'm Dead

Chapter 5

"Where the fuck are you going?" 

"Why the fuck are you following me?" I turned around to face him and his group of friends. Do people really have such boring and sucky lives that they feel the need to bother other people? Seriously, get a life.

"Why would I follow a bitch like you? Now about that fight.. Is now a good time?" he had evil smile wiped on his face and had that cocky, over-confident look but if you looked deep in his eyes you'd see fear and desperation. Fear of embarrassment and desperation to prove himself. Interesting but yet obvious and boring.

"I'll fight now, but it's one on one meaning those fags-" I pointed to his group-" can't help your sorry ass."

"No problem."

"What the fuck do you think you're doing Brooks? Back off her." I turned to my right to see my idiotic brother standing there with his friends close behind. We might of hated each other's guts but he hated Troy more and probably didn't want me near him. Doesn't he know I have better fighting skills than Troy?

"Go away Jed. Just let us fight." I glared at him. Why did he have to come now? Most people would of been grateful for someone to stop a fight but not me. I wanted to get this over and done with; what's the point in waiting for a worse time?

"Really? Every time someone just has to come and try to save you." Troy groaned and turned my attention back to him before I answered.

"I didn't ask for him to come. I want to fight." I replied.

There were four 'gangs' in our school. One with my brother, one with Troy Brooks, one with Sam Parkson and another one which I haven't come across yet. I preferred fighting alone, or with the guys but the guys were part of a proper gang. Yeah, there's a lot of fighting in this area but it makes life more exciting.

"Fine, I'll let you fight. But after you do, there will be a death call waiting for you." Jed said as he walked further back but still in sight.

"Well? What are you waiting for?" I asked waiting for him to make the first move. Troy smirked and attempted to punch me straight in the face - stupidest thing to do. I almost always dodge a face punch. I grabbed the back of his shirt and started punching him like he was a punch bag, as I did this he struggled and kicked my stomach. I dropped him on the ground and began to kick him like he was some sort of trash can. You may ask how a girl can beat a guy so easily or take hits without hurting or showing pain but that's because I've trained and felt much worse than anyone here can do.

"This is way too easy. You're not even trying, come back with some strength." I said as I kicked him one last time. I then walked over to Jed to show that I didn't need or want his help, "I don't need your help and even if I did, don't think for one second that I would ask you."  Jed just stared at me and I walked over to the school building, I then went straight for my locker.

I got my History and maths book out of the locker and went over to the form room (class room for signing in, staying in at breaks and catching up on homework).

"What happened to you?" Drake asked me as I walked in.

"Beat Troy in a fight. He's so weak." 

"Really? Try not to get in fights with him.. His gang will be after you."

"I don't care. On a different subject, do you like maths and history?"

"No, not really. Why?"

"Then lets ditch. You don't like the subjects and I certainly do not want to stay here."

"If we ditch, that will be breaking your promise."

"But I'm asking you if I can." 

He let out a sigh. "Fine, lets leave."
