Running nightmare

ch 5- Spirit Week

I walk into school and it was decorated in gold, purple, and grey streemers. Our maskot is an indian (picture on the side) a cherokee tribe used to live in our town so we made it our maskot. today was gold and purple day. You had to wear school colors. I was wearing my school cross country shirt and a pair of blue jeans with my tinie shoes. I have a streek of gold and yellow face paint on both sides of my cheeks. I meet up with the team and they are all dressed in gold and purple. Caleb has a gold and purple head dress on like our mascots. We start talking and got on the subject of dates to homecoming.

" Me and Kelly are going to homecoming together." Caleb said braggingly

He has always liked Kelly She was on the softball team. I always told him to ask her he finally got the guts to ask her out. I never really liked anyone at my school. They where all Jerks or dipped and drank I have never found that appealing. I also have never been asked out guys just don't notice me but I don't mind it. Me and the girls after our race we go and try to find some cute guys to talk to. Jack interrupts my thoughts buy saying "Well it took you long enough to ask her you have been bugging all of us about how you liked her but was such a chicken you wouldn't ask her out."

"well who are you going with mister hot shot?" Caleb said

"I haven't asked anyone yet I don't know who I want to take or even if I want to take anyone." Jack said shrugging his shoulders.

The bell rang for us to go to first period I walk into history. All the girls looked at me and started snickering. I realized my pant leg was pulled up were you could see my prosthetic. For some reason anger boiled up inside me. I walked over to the snickering girls they just looked at me and laughed. One of the girls named Carly said "what's wrong pegs? Cat got your leg?" all the girls start bursting out laughing. Rage came on me and boiled in my veins. I grabbed her head by the hair and twisted it in my fist. Pulled her head back to look at me. I looked her in the eyes and said "Look I have been to hell and back this past year. I lost my leg and will never be able to do what I love ever again. I don't need a judgmental little prick like you giving me a hard time. So if you try and mess with me again I might have to rearrange your perfect little face to where its not so perfect. If you think I'm kidding I dare you to try me." I said twisting her hair hard around my fist enough to where she winced. Then I let go of her head with force. I stood up strait and walked over to my desk and sat down

Just as I sat down coach lee walked in and started class. I felt adrinalin pumping through me it was from me getting so mad. I had lunch with Jack and i couldn't wait till I told him about this I wonder what he would say. I willed myself to pay atention to the lesson and take notes. The day went on and girls didn't snicker or talk about me behind my back they looked afraid of me and I was enjoying it. Lunch finally came and I sat beside Jack and laughed a little.

"Whats with you?" he asked smileing

"Well I am now feared by Carly and her possy." I said laughing some after I said it.

Jack's POV

She told me the story of what happened this morning. I was a little shocked to be honest I knew she had a temper. At school she semed to have this self control to where she never lost her temper it was one of the things I liked about her. She had self control when she wanted to. I am also very protective of her. When we where younger this kid pushed her down and started yelling at her. I saw him and beat the living snot out of him. we where in middle school when that happened. So when she told me Carly was bullying her i got mad. She grabed me by the arm and told me Carly wouldn't be messing with her anymore. I calmed down and finished my lunch Sam made for me. Sam was like the mom of the house she cleaned, cooked, washed and folded chlothes. She does all that and hangs out with the team and me and does all of her school work. I have no idea how she does it all.
