The Girly Jock

Chapter 9: Regrouping

Here ya go, I'm so VERY sorry for the wait!!! I felt bad about ending the last chapter on a cliffhanger so I hope this chapter makes up for the wait!

Enjoy :D

"Before you guys do some more creepy synchronization." I state gesturing with my hands towards the two of them. "I have a couple of questions!"

"What now, I can't handle anymore crap." Will cuts in running his hands through his hair and letting out a frustrated sigh.

"One, who the hell are Mason and jep?," I challenge.

Will opens his mouth, probably with a smart ass ramark before Logan cuts him off, "A couple of assholes from our rivalry team who clearly don't want to lose the championships to us for the 3rd year in a row." Logan explains rolling his eyes.

"Second question, how do I play a roll in all of this?" I inquire not letting them off the hook that quickly.

"They clearly wanted to get the message to us in a way that we wouldn't forget, they obviously went after you as an easy target." Will continued.

"Please tell me you at least tried to defend yourself!" Liam added giving me a patronizing look.

"No, I just stood there! Of course I 'defended myself' lets just say I'm not the only one with a black eye," I say smirking at the last part. 

They all laugh, " Wish I would've seen there faces!" Will taunts smiling again.

"If you're lucky you might see me provide a whole lot more damage!" Logan remarks clenching his fists at his sides.

"Bull shit, how is that supposed to change his mind about me being 'an easy target'?" I contradict, now it's my turn to roll my eyes.

Logan just shrugs while Will sets his bowl in the sink and turns to us, "We'll talk about this later, I'm taking the 'Dodge, Charger'," he sates before jogging away with a short laugh. This is caused by a stream of curse words from Logans direction.

"What's wrong with you?" I pry looking at him as if he had just grown three heads, while also wondering what caused that flow of unique word choices.

"Sucks to be you guys," Liam declares patting Logan on the back as he follows Wills exit.

"Are you going to answer my question or just continue to glare at the floor like a complete moron?" I claim growing irritated at being put in the same situation as before.

"There's nothing wrong with me I would just prefer not to show up for high school in a mini van, but that might just be my opinion." he says voice dripping with sarcasm.

"You have got to be kidding me, I thought you guys had like way more than one car?" I ask knowing he must be pulling my chain.

"Do the math, Will has the 'Dodge Challenger', mom has the 'Honda Civic', and Dad has the 'Honda Accord'. Which leaves either the mini van or Justin and Josh's old bikes." He paraphrases as I follow him from the room. "I'm gonna get ready and if I were you I would too, unless you want to show up late as well."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What seemed like less than seven minutes later we were pulling into the gates of Cape Away high, "It's now or never I guess," Logan recounts Pulling into the parking spot closest to the front door. 

It's hard not to notice the looks people are giving us as we step from the car, I mean you can't blame them really. What high schooler owns a mini van it even has Lily's car seat in the back to top off the look.

When we make it to the "Office Administrator," she looks up from her desk and smiles. She seems to be in her mid 40's with short blonde hair and a pearl necklace along with earrings. "What can I do for you sweat pea?" she addresses us stopping mid type. 

"I need my class schedule," I claim fiddling with the side of my school bag.

"What's your name?" she requests.

"Rose Trillette, I just transferred." I affirm looking over at Logan. 

She hands me the schedule and continues to type away on her computer, once out of the office Logan turned to me, "What's your locker number?" 

"1168," I state looking down at my schedule. "You don't have to walk me though, I can find it on my own." I reply noticing that he hasn't left my side since we arrived.

"I'm sure you can, however I need to talk to someone and I would like you to be present durring that." He declares flashing me a smile before looking down the long hallway.

"Why do I have to be there?" I state emphasizing the 'I'.

"You'll find out, besides he should be at his locker which is four down from yours," He clarifies pulling out his phone and sending a quick text. "Oh, and what class do you have first?"

"Science, why?" I question as he glances up from his phone.

"Just wondering," He shrugs before glancing at someone over my shoulder.

I turn around and continue walking, keeping pace with him. As we get closer I notice the guy talking to Will. With further inspection I realise it's Conner. 

They're talking in hushed voices, stopping as soon as they notice Logan and I walking towards them. 

"Sup," Drake says smiling at Logan and myself, Will just nods his head in acknowledgement.

Conner looks over at me and stops smiling, "What happened to your face?" he asks looking to Will and Logan for answers. 

Needles to say no matter how much cover up I applied there was no hiding my black eye. "Mason, and Jep," Will adds.

"Apparently we should 'be ready'," Logan says quoting masons words.

"What the heck is that supposed to mean, are you saying that they did that to her," he exclaims motioning to me. "As a warning that we should 'watch our backs'?"

"That's what it looks like." Will confirms letting out a breath and running a hand through his hair.

"What do we do from here?" I ask looking to all three boys for answers.

"I say we find Jep and Mason and show them who they're messing with." Will proclaims looking up and rubbing his hands together with an evil grin plastered on his face.

"As appealing as that sounds," Conner states pausing to look at me, " which take my word for it, that does sound appealing. I think that would be too obvious, give me some time to think about it  and at lunch I'll let you guys know." He finishes grabing the rest of his stuff from the locker and closing the door.

As the bell rings both Will and Logan head to class leaving being just Conner and I, "you sure your okay?" he asks looking at me with concern as he lifts his hand to touch my eye stopping at the last second and clearing his throat awkwardly. 

"Just a couple of bruises, it's not that big of a deal," I mutter taking a step back. "Well I should be getting to class," I trail off looking down the almost emty hall.

"Ya me too, wait what class do you have now?" he questions.

"Science," I say giving him a questioning look.

"Cool, I'll walk you." He grins starting down the hall. It takes me a couple of seconds to realise what just happened and once I do I'm soon beside him turning one of the hall corners and wondering what just happened.

There you guys go, I know it wasn't very long but this was kind of a filler chapter. Who's your favorite guy so far, let me know in the comments so that I can see that you guys are liking the book. :D
