The Day The Storm Moved On (AU)

Jason V

     Once at the nurses she concluded that my hands needed to be wrapped, but they'll heal in about a month or so. I said a gruff thanks and walked out of the nurses office as fast as I could.

     Yet before I could get to far the guys caught me by my shoulders and someone wrapped themselves around my legs, probably Percy. Without turning around I asked "What do you want?"

     "She wants to see you." Replied Leo.

     "Well I don't want to see her," I snapped.

     "To bad, you're coming with us whether you want to or not," said Frank as he proceeded to pick me up and throw me over his shoulder.

     Yet again we were met with weird stares. I caught a couple of questions such as "Why is the top boxer in the state being carried?" Or "How is he able to carry Jason without dropping him? He weighs a ton!"

     That kid got a well deserved bird and a stare that no one wants. Lets just say he's not going to be the first one who went to the hospital after they received that stare.

     After going through what seemed like the entire school and all of Leos terrible jokes (well I think that it was all of them) we made it to our destination.

     "She has art?" I asked incredulously.

     "Well its kinda in..." Before Leo even finished his sentence Percy smacked him upside the head and Frank slammed his mouth shut with his hand.

     I can hear Leo's protest as to why he got hit so hard. I roll my eyes and cross my arms "I'm not going in there." I simply state.

     "Oh yes you are," Percy replies. He gets a creepy look on his face. I raise an eyebrow and stare at him waiting for his move.

     "Bloody hell Percy!" I exclaim as he literally throws me into the classroom. If my entrance wasn't loud enough I'm pretty sure the door that slammed open with me put the cherry on top. The teacher immediately began questioning me being in there and what was going on and how someone was able to throw me through a door.

I stand up and brush myself off, ignoring the pain coming from my hands, looking for a secondary exit from which I can feasibly go through. I spot an open window in the back coroner of the room. I make a mad dash to it making sure I don't trip over any bags that could be carelessly thrown into the middle of the walk way.

As I get closer to the window I hear the door open and Percy and Leo stumble through coming after me. While that happens I notice whos sitting next to the window, "You've got to be fucking kidding me!" I say while still picking up speed. Piper looks up, her face puffy and her eyes full of tears. It kills me to see her like this.

Five feet from the window and I just full on send it and dolphin dive my way out making sure to land flat on my chest. I hop back onto my feet and sprint all the way to the back side of the school entering it through the engineers garage startling a few people as I do so and make my way inside. Once on the other side of the door I take a deep breath, fix myself, and carry on like nothing happened back to class. I barely got halfway down the hall before I hear the door slam open and in rush a crazed looking Percy and Leo. "You know, you're pretty fast but you're also very predictable."

"Ahh but so are you." I say back to them before I sprint away from the Frank who thought he had snuck up on me. I run for a while until I get to the hall from which I know like the back of my hand. I go to a little cubby that the school poorly covered up, nobody except me and like two others know that you're actually able to get in here. I also know that the guys are oblivious that this place exists.

I calm my breathing so that way if they walk by they wouldn't hear me, I text a friend of mine that something came up and I won't be present for the last couple of periods and to grab any work that I'll need to do. He sends a thumbs up, not asking for any more information given. After that I jump into the group chat with the guys and text them, "You know, you're the only people who are trying to get me to talk to her, shouldn't you protect me and keep her away?"

I get a pretty fast reply from Percy, "It's not our choice."

"I call bullshit." Is all I say before I turn off my notifications from messages, set an alarm, and let the sweet grasp of sleep take over.

I woke up to my phone being blown up, and not by my alarm. I slowly bring myself upright as much as I can in the cramped space and see what's going on. The usual emails and YouTube notifications show up but what throws me off is the Instagram and Snapchat messages which won't seem to stop. At first I thought I was dragged into a group chat but I was actually getting texted by so many people that the messages were just grouping up. I started with Instagram and saw about eight or nine people asking me questions, most were chicks asking if I was single now since I removed Piper from my bio. The rest were, you guessed it, Percy, Leo, and Frank asking where I was and if I was still alive and if I was dead could Leo have my gaming laptop. I roll my eyes and just leave all of them on read. I move to Snapchat and am pleasantly surprised when I see it's all chicks trying to get with me, maybe keeping Piper off my mind would be easier than I thought. After I checked all the messages and replied to the ones I thought were hot I slipped my phone into my pocket, left the cubby hole, went to the gym to grab my stuff, and I walked out before the bell even went off.
