Chapter 3: Oops, Your face was in my hand's way
Aiden really never knew how to keep his mouth shut. That's why he's now in my living room with a steak against his nose. The guys are still laughing even though it's been 30 minutes. He has been uncharacteristly quiet since I gave him that beating. I'm pretty sure I won't be given any more doubt about my fighting skills or at least my strength. After I punched Aiden, Azara called the girls and told them that we had to go. She didn't mention that it was because I punched a perv and that there was witnesses. That led to them laughing all the way home, with the guys following in their respective cars.
"My mouth hurts like a bitch,"Aiden keeps complaining, I have no idea how he's a fighter if he can't even take a hit to the face. Probably just a rookie with no experience.
"I have no idea how you are a fighter," May voices my thoughts.
"What do you mean?" the weakling asks.
"You can't even take a punch," Brea says
"Well the way I fight, I don't allow people to punch me," he replies with a smirk.
Blake snorts,"Dude, you just don't fight."
"Well, when I start fighting, I will beat the best and you know it," Aiden announces.
"You haven't even fought yet and you think you can beat me," I say with a raised eye brow.
"You're the best?" he scoffs,"I seriously doubt that."
I thought we were past him doubting me after that knuckle-sandwich. This guy is just asking for a beating. Melody steps up and starts to hold me back.
"She's the best. Didn't she prove that you shouldn't doubt her with that punch?"Bell tells the dumbass.
"Just stop arguing already! Why don't you guys tell us about yourselfs?" Ethan asks.
"Well, I skipped two grades, so I'm only 15. My name is May. Umm, I get the background info for the fights so Wren knows the weaknesses of her adversaries. So yeah, any questions?" May goes first.
"Are you single?" Aiden cannot take a hint that none of us are interested.
"No, I have a boyfriend named Harry," She replies with a dreamy sigh.
Cough, "Whipped," Cough. Laughs erupt across the room.
"Oh shut up!" May exclaims and jockingly punches my shoulder.
"My turn! Okay, my name is Winnie and before you ask, Aiden I'm not single. I like reading and writing and yeah, that's all," Winnie goes next, I swear she's like a little kid most of the time.
"I'm Melody, but you guys already knew that, and this is what I normally look like, but at school I have to dress up as a geek. I used to be a fighter then some shit happened and here we are," Mel introduces herself.
"Why do you dress up like a geek?" James asks.
Melody stiffens beside me and takes a deep breath. She gives me a pleading look, so I explain,"She's undercover, didn't you get that? And she said 'shit happened' so don't ask anymore questons about it, she'll tell you when she's ready."
"Well that was awkward. Anyway, I'm Brea. I hack into the cameras so the cops don't come to fights, so yeah, I guess I'm the computer geek of the group," Brea says then notices Aiden opening his mouth,"I'm single but not interested, Aiden." I faintly hear Aiden say 'damn it'.
"Hi, I'm Bell and Winnie's bestie! I like to dye my hair... and I just watch the fights. Oh! I have a boyfriend and he's possesive, so back off," There goes Bell.
"Who's she?" Blake asks and gestures to Azara. The girl in question looks like she's ready to pass out.
Finally, May steps up,"Azara here, has social anxiety. She's fine around us since she's known us for like 10 years and since you guys are strangers, she's kind of freaking out. She does have a boyfriend though." There was a chorus of "Oh"s in the background from the guys.
"Well, what about you?" Ethan asks me.
"The name's Wren, like the bird. I'm the only person of my friends that is currently fighting. Mel's probably my best friend, no offense guys! I'm single but, not ready to mingle. That's all you need to know. So, are you guys going to our school, now?" They don't need to know my life's story.
"Melody said that we are," James replied.
"Just so you know, you can't tell about my fighting or Mel being undercover," I want to reassure myself that my secret will be safe.
"We get it. So what do you guys want to do?" Aiden asks and wiggles his eye brow to show he knows exactly what he would want to do.
"You want to meet our boy toys? Well actually, you don't get a choice because Harry just texted me and they wanted to come once I told him about how Wren punched Aiden," May informs us.
"Let's see just how badass your boyfriend is," Aiden smirks at Bell.
"Wait, is Winnie's boyfriend coming?" Brea asks and looks worriedly at the boys.
"Yes, we'll just make them keep another secret," May whispers.
"Yo, guys! Can you keep another secret?" Mel yells.
Different versions of yes erupt around the room.
"Okay, since you're starting school on Monday, you might have English with Mr. Harrison, he is coming here right now," Winnie doesn't tell the whole story.
"Why would our teacher come here?" Blake asks, looking very confused.
"I kind of, maybe, might, be dating him," Winnie says with a sheepish smile. Just then, the door opens and in walks Mr.Harrison, Harry, Colton (Bell's bad boy), and Eric.
Eric moves first, once he sees Azara's discomfort. He goes over to her and sits down next to her and puts aa comforting around her trembling shoulders. She leans in and kisses her cheek. I smile at their cuteness. Colton, being the possesive boyfriend he is, glared at James who was sitting next to Bell.
"So these are the guys that annoyed Wren so much that she punched Blondie," Colton notices and pushes James out of the way so he could kiss his girl. Mr. Harrison or Seth as we know him out of school, hugs Winnie before pecking her lips.
"Dude, you could've just asked me to mo-" James starts before Colton starts glaring at him.
"Do you really want to finish that sentence?"Colton asks James. I guess Colton could be very intimidating, with his leather jacket (same brand as mine), black jeans, and combat boots. He is a fighter too, after all.
"So this is the English teacher?" Aiden raises his eye brows at Seth.
"Call me Seth."
*****************
It's a few hours later and I'm starving. Everybody's still here so i suggest Papa Murphey's. Man, I love me some pizza.
Soon enough, we arrive at my favorite pizza place. The only bad part is that we have to cook it ourselves, but it's worth it when you get damn good pizza. As soon as we get there, I walk straight up to the register.
"I want a the garlic bread pizza, Papa's favorite, large, and one with every kind of meat you got here on it, a large, too," I demand. The cashire looks scared, according to his name tag, his name is Jace.
"Okay, that'll be $20.85," Jace says. Then he looks me up and down. Pausing on my breasts and legs.
"Eyes are up here, bucko," I glare at him. Just my luck, two perverts in one day. I throw the perv a twenty and a one. I can hear my friends laughing behind me.
After my pizzas are made, we head back to my place. Everyone soon leaves and I put my PJ's on. There is one thought going through my head right now, Will they keep our secrets?
