The Next Generation

Chapter 9

I woke up to my alarm blaring in my room. I groan and get up to go shower. Once finished with that I wrap a towel around me and go to my closet for an outfit. All the while thinking about what we talked about last night. I got a pair of black skinny jeans along with one of Hunter's shirts that I've stolen from him. I decided for my black converse. Once dressed I throw my hair into a messy bun and walk out to the kitchen. Everyone was there. I hugged Cody, Daniel, and Steven since I didn't see them last night. Ella, Hunter, Kyla, and Kyle all looked really sick.

"Please tell me you aren't staying home." I all but plead. They were still in their pajamas. Hunter nodded.

"Sorry." Ella whispered. Her voice barely there.

"You can't. You have to go. You have to." I said with tears in my eyes.

"Skye they can barely talk let alone go to school. Why do you want them to go to school so badly?" Mom said. I looked at my mom and ten back at them. I just shook my head and ran out the door. The first thing I did was call Lucas.

"Hello?" He answered.

"My family is not going to school today. What am I supposed to do Lucas." I say.

"Skye calm down. Come pick me up and we'll talk then." He told me. I pulled out of the driveway. Once I got to his house I saw him and Dean sitting on the porch. I jumped out of the car and ran over to Lucas to give him a hug. I cried the whole way here. This can't be my life.

"Hey Skye. It's okay. You still have us. We'll protect you. Don't worry." Lucas tells me. I hand him my keys.

"I can't drive." I said. He took them and nodded. We all got in and left for school. I was steadying my breathing. We pulled into the parking lot and everyone would look my way and start laughing.

"Lucas." I whisper. He grabs my hand and squeezes it. We continue walking to the school trying my best to ignore everybody. It's all Danica's doing. We get into the school and Jared and Andrew meet up with us.

"Nope we aren't going to school today." They say pushing us out.

"Why?" I ask.

"Danica is waiting at your locker. She is telling everybody that you aren't going to survive today. She's been training Skye. She going to beat you." Andrew said. My eyes went wide. I stop and Andrew runs into me.

"What are you doing?" Jared asks.

"She can't scare us off like this. She needs to be taught." I tell them.

"Skylar she has her group with her. She has the strongest jocks with her. She's going to hurt you. We can't let that happen." Jared says.

"She doesn't have the strongest jocks with her because you all are here with us." I hear a voice behind me. I turn around and see Hunter and the others.

"I thought you were sick?" Dean asked.

"We are. Our voice came back. So we decided to come and beat the living hell out if some bitches." Ella said with a shrug.

"Then we are all going home." Kyle said.

"Why did you bring them?" I asked pointing to my four uncles.

"We wanted to watch. And besides there is going to have to be a doctor present after what you do to them." Austin said with a shrug. I smiled at them. I turned and started walking into the school with a new found confidence.

"Oh look who decided to show up." Jackson of all people said.

"Yeah I showed up." I said and punched him in his healing nose. He cried out in pain. Danica stomped over to me and went to punch me but I grabbed her fist and twisted. I kicked her legs out from underneath her. She fell on an instant. Out of no where a powerful punch came to my face. I winced and turned to the culprit. It was Jackson. And the he punched me again. That didn't set to well with any of the guys with me. Hunter was closer to me and Jackson got knocked out. Punched over and over again. The girl that Jackson cheated on me with was about to hit me but Ella stopped her in time with a powerful punch. She was out. Three more jocks were left. The rest of Danica's group left her when the fight started. One of the jocks, Damien, hit Ella. With her being sick she was knocked out. And that didn't set well with Dean. He was at least three inches taller then Damien he punched him once. Then twice. The three times. And he ended with his fourth punch to knock him out. The other jocks went to punch Dean but Lucas and Andrew were right there and stopped them with their own punch. Once they were down I turned my attention back to Danica. Who was standing now.

"So. Are we going to do this the hard way or the easy way?" I ask her. She doesn't answer so I take it as the hard way.

"I say the hard way." Kyla said standing next to me. Kyle is leaning against Cody. He must be the most sick of them all.

"I agree." I say. I punch Danica in the face. Knee her in the stomach and then knee her in the face once she was down I knelt down next to her.

"No one fucking likes you." She choked out.

"Oh really. I have my family. I have Lucas, Dean, Jared, Andrew. I have more then you. Because your "friends" left when the actual fight started. So if you truly believe that they are your friends ten you are truly wrong. And your brother over there only sticks with you because he wanted revenge on me and my family. He doesn't really like you either. He told me himself. Those wanna be jocks are nothing to you. They were here because they have it out for the boys. And the one that actually stayed. She just did it because of what I did to Jackson. Honesty I don't think that any of them truly like you. If you didn't scare people into doing this stuff then maybe you'll find out that they don't want to be near you. No one does. So take this as a hint and stay away from me, my family, and my friends." I tell her standing up. "And for Gods sake stop staring at my uncles." I yell at the girls who were practically drooling over them. They look my way and scurry off. I picked Ella up off of the ground and gave her to Dean.

"Let's go." Hunter said.

"You aren't going anywhere." A voice said from behind us.

"Really you aren't done with us?" I ask turning around to face Jackson.

"You do not have the right to talk to my sister like that." He said.

"You know what. I don't give a fuck. So if I were you is would leave. Because honestly you don't want to get knocked out again. It honestly isn't good for you." I tell him. But he just takes another step towards me. I didn't back down. He continued to walk to me. Hunter and Lucas stood beside me about to pounce but I waved them off.

"Really." He all but said. And then I got punched. Four times in ten seconds. But I didn't back down. I stood there waiting. On the fifth punch I grabbed his fist and stared at him.

"Enough." I say. He just gives me a challenging look and lifts his other fist. Only a person from behind him grabs it. Kyla had his other hand. "That's enough." I say again.

"You are going to regret this." He says.

"Kyla let go. It's my fight not y'all's." I tell her. She hesitates but let's go. And his fist hits the side of my face. Again still didn't move me. I took a deep steady breath and let his other fist go. He thought that he could punch me but instead I lifted my leg and kicked him in his stomach and he flew to the floor. Then I kicked him again and again and again. My last kick was my hardest and I aimed it for his face. He was out once again. So I turned and walked past my family and out the door. I'm surprised no teachers came to stop us. Maybe a teacher meeting on the other side of school. Where all teachers have to attend.

"Skylar wait!" Hunter yells after me. But I ignore him and get into my car and drive away. Leaving everyone watching me. I'm not going home. Anywhere but home. I don't know where yet but I will when I get there.
