Under The Bleachers

Dodging The Jocks.

Jesse raced through the crowded hallways trying to Avoid unwanted attention...because this was when the jocks had time to find him and beat him up. Jesse ducked through crowds of people and suddenly he sees Sam and his group coming down the hall and one of Sam's buddies slams another kid against the wall while there passing by...a kid like Jesse. Jesse thought fast there was a group of goth kids that came off as more friendly then usual and the jocks were actually afraid of the goth kids which was funny. Jesse quickly approches them out of breath and speaks to Tyler the long red haired boy of the group who wore dark eyeliner and had that weird vampire type look that the goths liked.

*Jesse* h....hey escuse me....please I know you guys don't know me very well but please can I just hide here for a sec in your group.

They all look at him and they see Sam's group approaching and Tyler spoke with a laugh.

*Tyler* Hehehe Jocks huh?
*Jesse* y...yes please hide me.

Luckily the goths all huddle around Jesse but in a way that was so natural Sam's group passed by not even seeing jesse. After they pass Jesse let's out a breath he was holding in.

*Jesse* thank you all so much I didn't know if I could take another beating today.
*Tyler* why do you let them do that to you?
*Jesse* i....I can't fight
*Tyler* no need to....we could show you how to creep them out hehehe

Jesse was also a bit afraid of the goths too but they helped him and he didn't want to be rude.

*Jesse* no that's alright...Hehe i...I'm fine I gotta go to lunch now thanks again bye.

Jesse speeds off to the cafeteria.

After spending his lunch time eating alone as usual Jesse had no problems from the jocks for the rest of the school day he was beginning to think his luck was paying off but....that was wrong.

On his way home Jesse had to walk home because his house was close enough to, but of course the jocks had field practice. His way home was inconveniently placed on the road where the Richmond high Jackles football feild was and the jocks practiced every day. This was why Jesse stayed after class to avoid getting them during there practice but he felt like things were going so good he wouldent get any trouble. But then he here's the voice of one of Sam's buddies zack. Zack was the typical for a jock big meathead type with blonde short hair and was beefy....typical for the linebacker of the group. Sam wasent like them he had that type of muscular body that you didn't notice was toned until he like took off his shirt or something. Zack calls out to Jesse in his usual bully tone.

*Zack* well well well....look what we have here. Hey Dweeb!!! What you think your doing here huh?!

Jesse just ignored him and kept walking. Suddenly he hears 3 of the beasts hop the fence and they close in on him. Zack grabs Jesse by the arm.

*Zack* hey...I'm talking to you, you little crap stain. Don't you know it's rude not to speak when spoken to.

The beasts all chuckled and laughed. Jesse looked at him through the corner of his eye shivering with fear because he knew anything he said led to him getting beaten up.

*Zack* aw what's the matter your shaking like a leaf you gonna cry? Hehehe
*Jesse* p....please leave me alone.

The other boys mimic him in rude whiney voices.
(Aw pweas leave me alone heheheheheh)

Jesse tried to run breaking free of Zacks hold but zack grabbed him and held him in a full nelson.

*Jesse* ah!!!! No zack stop!!! Ngh....
*Zack* you thought you can get away. Please you can't even run to your mama without getting caught.

Zack had no idea Jesse had no parents they were both killed by a burgular right in front of him when he was too young to even know what happened. In fact no one knew Jesse actually lived a hard life outside of school. No friends, no family of his own living in a foster care with a foster father that abused him and beat him too so wherever Jesse went he was getting beaten up. Jesse started to wheep finally feeling the years of the bullies abuse and his foster father's abuse as well. When his teacher said his parents weren't beating him too He was Wrong.
