Somewhere Only We Know

Beneath My Feet

"You gave my number to an under age rabbit?!" Finnick yelled out.

"Yes! Is that a problem?" Asks Nick as he's outside of school selling different flavor pawsicles. "Pawsicles! Get your pawsicles here! We got them in five different flavors today!"

"I can't believe you?! Why would you do sush a thing?" said Finnick angrily.

"I needed to make sure someone kept Jack Savage busy while I snuck out to get these and there's only one in this school who keep him distracted long enough and that's Black Rabbit."

"Fine. Whatever! Just don't expect me to be all nice to her!"

Inside the school, Jack Savage was looking up through his laptop. He smirked when he found what he was looking for.

The next day at school, during Nick's P.E class. "Nicholas P. Wilde! The dean wants to see you!" Called out the teacher. Nick stopped in his tracks and walked across through the field.

"You know you could've finish running the lap," says the male rhino, p.e. teacher.

"Yeah but the dean is way worse when he's angry." Nick says as he leaves. He walks into the school building towards the deans. He goes into the room where the male razorback was waiting for him.

"If it isn't my favorite fox. Come in, take seat in front of me," he said nicely.

Nick sat down in the seat. The dean turned the laptop around then clicked play on a video. Nick's ear twitched in shock at what he was watching. It was a video of him with Finnick and Lukas taking the jars of colorful syrup in the back of the van with the date and time in white letters on top right of the video.

"Seems like you and Lukas ditched school the other day during lunch. Now what you think the school rules say about this, aye, Wilde?"

"Suspension!" Jack Savage answered from back of the room leaning against the wall. "But first we call his parents."

"No!" Nick shouted. "Suspend me all you like but at least do it without calling my parents!"

"So a fox does have an achilles heel. Maybe we can use this," says the dean. "Jack Savage, what appropriate punishment could we give to this fox?"

"How about two more extra community services? Clawhauser told me he needed more students to help paint over the tagging on walls and pick up trash below the bleachers."

"Looks like it's settled and Savage you'll be supervising him, right?"

"Gladly."

"I got detention while you got community service. Why is that? Usually schools either expell or suspend students who ditch! Why is our school so nice?" Asks Lukas. He and Nick were waiting in line in the cafeteria to get their lunch.

"If it was anyone else, then yes, but I've known Jack Savage since we were kids so he knows ways to tick me off like not getting suspended."

"Really? Why is that?"

"Not important."

"You don't look happy. Something happened?" Judy asked Jack. Jack was sitting on the stairs of the stair case staring out the window. "Just had to make a wise decision."

"Oh. Will you be okay?"

"Mhm," he says nodding his head. "Go ahead without me. I'll be here for a few minutes."

"Sure," says Judy then leaves to the cafeteria.

"All because of that. I have to be nice," Jack says with a sound of disgust.

Flashback

Jack was confused what was happening. His paw was held by his mother's as their family walked fast into the hallway of the hospital. When they reached at the end of the hall, they found Nick sitting on a bench outside of the room. He sat with his knees tucked in as he trembled while he cried.

Jack's mom knelt down close to Nick trying to comfort him while his dad went in the other room. In a few minutes, he began hearing shouting between his dad and Nick's father. Making out the words about how Nick's dad blaming his own son for why his wife was in the hospital.

Flashback

Jack sighs leaving to the cafeteria. He sits along his friends at their table. He glances over at the group of each of his friends.

Kevin and Fort were eating their food while their friend Tom was going on about a concert they should go to. The Black Rabbit was on her phone looking for the directions and pictures of where the concert will be at. Judy was eating her food while reading a book beside her.

Jack looked around till he spotted in the back of the room in the corner table were Nick, Lukas, Duke Weaselton, and a few others from freshmans to Seniors. The table was often known as where the wrongdoers sat and was a fact because many who sat there have more than three trips to the office before.

Nick noticed Jack and as he looked at the jack rabbit, so did the rest of the hooligans in the table.

"If you're trying to come up with some magical way to make me appear in detention. Keep staring but I doubt it'll work," Nick says out loud from across the room. The rest of the guys at his table laughed.

Jack just turns away mumbling, "delinquents!"
