The Delinquent Nerd

Chapter 5

A/N. So yeah I kinda feel real bad for not updating since like the beginning of this month and that's why i decided to give you 2 chapters on one day so hopefully you won't kill me

___________________________

Ah good old gym I really missed you the most you know. I probably missed you this most out of everything here and the fact that I can be here whole day today is just really awesome. As I’m on my way walking to a locker I see that for some unknown reason Yuri and Gaz are here… before … me? How the hell did that even happen! I decided that I’ll ask questions later but for now I need to get changed and warmed up.

As I’m done changing and warming up Coach calls us all.

“First I want to welcome our school ‘nerd’ back from the hospital and back to practice.” Coach said.

“I would really appreciate it if you didn’t call me ‘our school nerd’ Coach.” I groaned.

“Shut up brat don’t tell me. Well now that Johnson is back, you guys are going to verse each other. Fisher! Johnson! Pick your team.” Coach said happily. For some odd reason he looks creepily happy. “Oh yeah I forgot to mention the winning team will play in our practice match against Crimson Heart.” He said with a smug look on he’s face.

“WHAT!!!!!!!!” We all shouted surprisingly at the same time.

“Well then, Fisher and Johnson choose your team.”

The moment Coach said that I noticed that almost the entire team all went to Fisher and there was exactly four guys who didn’t move from their places and that four guys were Gaz, Yuri, Jeff and Lucas. It’s kind of surprising to see Jeff and Lucas still here since they are Jack’s goons. They probably had enough of him and his constant bitching about something totally fucking stupid, but I ain’t go complain though cause it means that I have a team now. Yay.

“We going to be on Erik’s team and you can have the rest Fisher.” Jeff spoke up. A’ight the fuck is happening right now! “Erik it’s a’ight if we on your side right.” Lucas said afterwards

“H-huh o-oh yeah sure.” I am so fucking confused right now.

“A’ight so Fisher you can just take the rest then.” Coach announced. Well it’s not like there’s a problem since it’s just the fact that he has 2 subs.

“So find your positions and alert me when you guys are ready.” Coach told us and said “Emilia you will be helping Fisher and his team out.” As he turned to Emilia.

“But then who will help out Erik’s team?” She responded quite quickly back to Coach.

“Don’t worry about that. We have a special guest who’s going to be helping them out.” Coach smirked. “Johnson.”

“Coach?”

“You will be taking charge of your team for the time being.” Coach declared.

“Yeah sure whatever.” I answered without looking at him.

“A’ight guys firstly lets work out the positions for each other. Say why you want that position and a reason for it as well.”

“You damn nerd why do we have to do that?” Jeff asked. Really after a damn month I’m still the fucking nerd.

“You want to beat Fisher?” He nodded as an answer to my question. “Then I suggest you shut up and listen to me before I lose control and become the ‘delinquent’ that some people say I am.”

He gulped in fear as I glared at him.

“As I was saying we need to discuss your positions, so state your position.”

5 minutes later

“So our center will be Lucas since he’s ultimately the tallest of us here as well as the strongest. Power forward is going to be you Gaz since you use to lots of physical play. Point guard is going to be Yuri since he is the best dribbler on our team. Small forward would most likely be you Jeff since your shots at distance is good but not better than mine and I’ll be Shooting guard since you all are fuckin taller than me and also the fact that I am the best three-point shooter on our team. Everybody okay with the positions that they have?”

“Yeah!” Everybody shouted. “Coach we ready to start the game.”

“Shut up and you can’t.” Coach replied lazily

“Why not? We want to play now!” We shouted.

“Because you need your manager to watch you guys and direct you idiots. Go shoot some hoops or something so long.” He waved us off.

“Well it seems that we just going to have to wait for a while, so let’s go and shoot some hoops so the time being.” I sighed as I went to get the balls.

As we start practicing on our own by playing one-on-one with each other. The first two that played was Lucas and Yuri. They played best out of three which Lucas won barely. Gaz said he would practice on his own so now it’s me against Jeff.

“Let’s see if you are as good as you claim. One round only.” Jeff said cockily.

“I’ll show you what I’m capable of.” I grinned.

As I was about to bounce the ball Coach suddenly yelled at us. “Stop playing there you brats and get your asses over here!”

“A’ight.” We shouted back.

“Hey Jeff.”

“What?”

“I win.” I smirked as I jumped and released the ball in mid-air and I watched how I landed a three-pointer which seriously was just unnecessary.

“Damn you Erik!” Jeff shouted as he glared at me.

“Sorry Jeff my win!” I yelled as I started jogging to Coach and joined up with the whole team.

“Okay so this here…”Coach said as he point to a girl who seems to be hiding under a huge hoodie. “Is Rebecca Simons, our new assistant coach.”

Why the hell does that name sound so familiar to me?

She pulled the hood from her head and I remembered instantly. She’s an extremely abusive girl so I’m going to leave right now. I started walking back and it seems no one notices me leaving, perfect. Just a few more steps and I’m free.

“Erik where are you going?” Emilia asked out of the blue.
Crap someone noticed me which means I won’t be able to escape now.

“Erik as in Erik Johnson?” I heard Rebecca say. Crapbaskets it’s all over now.

“Yeah that’s him, you know him?” Coach asked. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU ASK THAT OF ALL QUESTIONS YOU STINKING OLD MAN!!?

“Yeah I know him, I know him very well.” She said sounding almost too damn happy. I slowly turned my head around to say a demon wearing an angelic smile which is false as hell but since they don’t know that, they all are no help!

“Erik.” She said so ‘sweetly’ “WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO RUN AWAY AFTER SEEING ME LAST TWO YEARS AGO!!!?” She screeched.

The Devils loose and I’m dead.
