My Enigma

Ace will always be Ace

  Ch. 11

I stood for a minute astonished. I snapped out of it and frantically searched through my bag. I pulled out my pepper spray and ran over to the guy who was about swing. I hid the pepper spray behind my back.

"Hey", I yelled to the guy.

   The guy snapped his head at me. His face made me want to cringe away. The guy's face is a mixture between wrinkles and muscles. Sweat is pouring in buckets down this guy's face. I feel like emptying the contents of my lunch on the floor.

    The guy took a step toward me. Each of that Meat head's step toward me, it seemed as if the muscles in his legs and arms were flexing and then relaxing. Meat head has spider veins up and down his arm made me want to take a pen to one of those veins.

"Something to say", meat head said towering over me with an eyebrow cocked.

     I sucked in a deep breath to stop myself from busting out laughing in his face. Meat head's voice is as high as Mariah Carrie sing one of her high notes. I hear familiar steps behind me. Took them long enough. I turned around to see Layla and Araiya with a horrid look across their faces.

"Go get the boys", I say quickly before turning my attention to Meat head.

I hear the girls footsteps as they run out.

"What are your boys going to do? Huh", Meat head spat in his girly voice.

Meat head was so close to me I can see the spit come out of mouth. Gross.

"Don't worry about them. It's me and you right now", I say with as much bravery I can mutter.

   Meat head looked me up and down before cackling. His cackling sounded like he has been sucking in helium. Meat head reached out his hand like he was going to chock me. Before he had the chance to I took out my pepper spray I still had behind me back.

      I sprayed it in Meat head eyes for a good 30 seconds. Meat head screamed like he was a girl in a scary movie. I took an elbow to his throat to cut off the sound. Meat head leaned over like he wanted to throw up, but instead he started to cough.

    I was afraid that once Meat head recovered he might be even more mad. So I took my knee back as far as I can and kneed him in his special place. Meat head collapsed on the floor wheezing and groaning. I slide over to the girl.

    The girl has cracked lips. Her long brown hair with a few highlights is scattered all over the floor in tangles. She has sun-kissed skin. I turn her face over to see if she has an more bruises. Along with the bruise on the side of her face, she also has a bloody cut on the other side of her face.

    I get a some nakins. I put one of her arms around my neck and put my arm around her waist. I drag her out of the stall and on the bathroom floor. Ace, Caden, the other boy, Araiya, and Layla all came rushing into the bathroom.

Ace's face is full of concern.

"Bathroom", I say pointing to the shall.

    Ace, Caden, and the boy run to the stall. I hear grunting and a body slamming to the floor. I ignore the noise and tend to the girl's injures. I turn to see Layla and Araiya just standing there.

"Araiya, call 911. Layla, take these napkins, wet them then come back"I say.

As Layla brings me the napkins I hear Araiya talking on the phone.

"Thanks", I say to Layla applying pressure to the bloody wound.

    The girl is breathing shallow. So I lift her shirt. I can not believe it. Did this guy really hit her in the stomach? The girl has a giant bruise on the side of her stomach. I don't know how to treat,so I just pull her shirt down. I continue to treat her bloody wound til Layla comes over to me.
