The Fight Between Two

Chapter 4

I walked to my last class of the day, and was stopped by a hand gripping my wrist.

If this person didn't let go, they would face the wrath of me. The gang taught me how to get out of a hold like this, and I wasn't afraid of doing it.

I turned to look at the person who is holding onto me and I see the one and only, Pete Waters.

I don't know why, but I feel fireworks go off when he touches me.

Pharrel can't do that........

Focus, Hailey!!!

"What do you need?" I asked casually and he looked at me suspiciously.

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out and get to know each other later after school?" He asked and I sighed in relief.

"Um..sure...okay." I say and he nods his head, mind you, still holding my wrist.

Fireworks are still lighting up my skin.

"Great! Is 4:30 okay?" He asked and I nodded.

"That would be okay..." I say and I jerk my wrist out of his hold, but only to my disadvantage his grip tightened.

"Can I go now?" I asked suspiciously this time and he nodded.

Finally, he let go and the fireworks stopped.

It sounds so cliche but I promise, it felt weird and good and the same time.

I walked away, and went into my last period. Now I have to tell Pharrel that I can't train with him.

Life is messed up sometimes you know?

***

It's finally after school, and I am walking to my car right now.

I press the button on my key fob and the car unlocked. I get in and start it up.

I drive my way straight to the gang house.

I pull into the driveway, after ten minutes of driving, and shut off the car.

I make my way out of the car and grab my bag.

I walk into the house, literally.

The house was unlocked, and the gang didn't care because if anybody tried to come in without permission, they would've been pummeled to death.

Boss McKinnon's words not mine.

I rush up stairs and go directly to Pharrel's room. I hear silence, and so I open the door and to my suprise Pharrel isn't in there.

So, I look around the hall and then decide to go to the bosses office to see if he is there.

I knocked and instead of someone opening, I heard yelling.

I opened the door immediately and was met with Pharrel and Boss McKinnon looking at each other deadly.

"What's going on?" I yell and they both turn to me.

"Hailey, there is a new trainer that is going to be training you now." Pharrel said with sadness in his tone.

What? Who would train me, especially someone that isn't as good as Pharrel and the boss?

I squint my eyes in confusion, and he nods his head over to the boss.

I nod and ask the boss my questions.

"What do you mean, someone new?" I ask the boss and he chuckles.

Not the good chuckle.

I furrow my brows in confusion and he sees this, so he decides to explain.
