Ch1 part b
"let go!! Get off me you bloody mongrel"
"unhand the fish, then I'll let you go"
"it's in MY hand so its MY fish and I'll do whatever the hell I want with it"
"not if it infringes my human right"
"ha! Call yourself human" he was so heavy I could have mistaken him for an escaped gorilla or something, maybe Bigfoot or the lock-ness monster (except that the lake was waaay out to the left of us so we were no where near it, but that's so besides the point right now)
"call yourself a girl, you fight like a dude!"
For that I have him a hard shove and he responded by climbing on top of me, placing his knees precisely on the joints of my elbows pinning me down. That caused a jolt of fear to go through me. I mean, mom made me and eve take pretty girl karate classes now that's eves in the 5th grade but I'm not that good. I mean can barely carry a sack of potatoes', and here I was with this blond stranger
"okay listen. I don't know who you are put could you please give me the fish back"
"oww! your hurting my arm"
He rolled off in one swift motion and sat down cross legged next to me.
"I'm sorry," he said holding his arms up in a I-surrender manner "but I really need the fish back"
By now my anger had pretty much fizzled out so threw the fish at him
"take it, although I cant imagine why you would want to eat a fish that's covered in dirt and grass" I said eyeing the thing with repugnance. You would too if you could see the state of it.
"yeah well...its not for eating. See the fish is- well, was our school mascot, but the JHS academy football team stole it and sold it to that fish shop-"
"that's why you were stealing it?" is he being serious?
"yeah, I had to get the fish back, but that Indian dude already skewered and stuffed it so I though the least we could do was give jimmy a proper burial" he said with real zeal and passion.
"your telling me that this rival school stole your fish?"
"yeah" he looking at me as if I was the moron here "And we gotta get 'em back good"
Oh my god! Is he serious. He was a grown almost-man and he was seriously going to give the fish a funeral. And I thought he looked semi normal, if not a little cute (except for the part were he abducted me and a fish and wants to give said fish a funeral)
"okay I know what your thinking. And I know it sounds lame, but it's a tradition"
"you give all dead fishes a burial?" I asked sceptically
"oh, what? No, just the school mascots. Jimmy's been with us for 10 years," Can fish even live that long? "hey don't give me that look?"
"I'm not giving you any look" I said getting off the floor and brushing off the green stuff. He got off the ground too and started to brush some of the grass off himself "I think I've had enough dumb-jock-talk about fish; which by the way, is the worst food to ever have been cooked"
"its totally not! Fish is awesome. it's a major delicacy here in torchwood. How can you hate, its like everywhere you go," And that would explain why there were so many fishers "And I an NOT a dumb jock"
"a second ago you were worked up about a rivalry that lead to aquatic theft"
"you're a real pessimist, huh?"
"I am not"
"yes you are, in which case you moved to the wrong town and your gonna really hate it here. But then I bet you're the kind of person who would hate it anywhere"
"whatever. I don't need to explain myself to you" and I strode off in the opposite direction.
"hey red! The market is back that way, just follow the path" he said pointing behind him
"don't call me red!"
"but I don't know your name and your hairs red"
"only in the sun"
"so what's your name" he asked with that annoying grin on his face
"that is none of your business" which wiped the grin off his face. Hah! I bet he was the kind of guy who got any girl he wanted, well, reality check its not happening with this one. I strode past him and followed the path through the dense shrubs till I came to the other side of what looked more like a town fair. Oh, great! Maybe jockey was right. I was going to hate this town. And just to confirm that, a clown honked a horn close to my ear. Caught off grad I stumbled backwards and hit something hard.
"oww! Easy red" I recognised that annoying voice "back off her jace" he said to the clown.
"sorry man, didn't know she was with you"
"she's not, so excuse me" i siad pushing through the two quite-large-for-thier-age guys
"later new girl" called jace honking the horn in the air in farewell and then he turned back to the blond guy "did you get jimmy back?"
"yeah" he said holding up the dirt-caked fish
The clown called jace visibly gasped while the blond guy nodded gravely and all I could think was - what a bunch of weirdo's.
