Eye of the Tiger

Part 4

Dani POV

"Hey." I jumped back a bit when I closed my locker only to see Mr. Mohawk himself standing behind it.

"Um hi?" He's never approached me until today, in fact he probably doesn't even know my name which whatever...I still only know him as Mohawk.

"I am giving you a once in a lifetime chance to go on a date with the Puckerman." He arched his eyebrow as he leaned against the wall, I actually couldn't hold my laugh. Wasn't he kinda with Santana? I guess if she was going to chose a beard she chose the one that was made for her.

"Uh, no thanks." I chuckle before pushing past him but I didn't make it more than a few steps before he was hovering over me again.

"No? What do you mean no? LOOK at me! I'm hot, you're hot. We can run this school babe." I couldn't help the blush that warmed my cheeks. It wasn't very often I was getting called hot whether the recipient of the comment was attractive to me or not.

"Okay first of all, I'm not your babe. Second, it's still a no from me." I tried to push past once more but this time he was prepared and stepped in front of me.

"Damn, you're a fucking tease with that hickey. Turns out you're a prude." Mohawk growled at me, I felt anger bubble up inside me and began to burst through my fist when a familiar tall Latina stepped between us.

Santana POV

"Fuck off Puck, don't you have a nerd to throw in the dumpster." I don't know what came over me. I barely know this girl but Snixx is bursting out of me? Puck just let out a chuckle as he looked between us.

"Oh...that's why." He winked. I felt my heart start to beat faster. Puck was the only guy in school that knew about me playing for the other team and I swear to god if he is about to out me Snixx will NOT be held back.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" The other girl spat out behind me. I suddenly had nothing to say as my queer self wanted to stay way far back in the closet and hide.

"Enjoy your little girlfriend Satan." Puck said lowly and by the time his words registered he was already gone. My shock filled body returned to reality when I felt a shove on my shoulder and saw the brunette storming away from me.

"Um...YOU'RE WELCOME?" The fuck was her problem?

"Did it look like I needed your help?" She hissed as she whipped back around to face me.

"Uh yeah. Kinda." The girl just shook her head in frustration and as she turned on her heel to try storming off all her books fell out of her braced hand.

"Are you FUCKING kidding me!?" Dani let out a growl of frustration. She was kind of crazy, damn. But nevertheless being the amazing human I am I bent down to help her pick up her books.

"Again, does it look like I need your help?" She rolled her eyes as she attempted to slide a book over her brace only for it to slide back out.

"And again, YEAH. Kinda." I retorted, pointing at her hand. "What happened anyways? Seemed perfectly fine the other night." I breathed out, remembering all the things those fingers did to my body...I saw her relax as a smirk formed on her face.

"I uh, had a tournament the next day. I'm a boxer. Didn't turn out well for me as you can see." She chuckled nervously. Shit, it explains that banging body she has. Fuck Santana snap out of it before you start drooling. I broke the gaze I didn't realize I was holding with her after I handed her her books. I saw her phone on the floor and picked it up before she can.

"Um thanks." She mumbled out as if it was the hardest word in the English language. She reached out for her phone as we stood up but I pulled out of reach and smirked at her.

"You can thank me by..." I smirked at her as I started entering my number in her phone. "texting me later." I finally hold out the phone to her and watched as she narrowed her eyes. She has to admit that was fucking smooth. I honestly surprised myself because trying to find ways to get her number has been racking my brain the past few days. She didn't seem so crazy now as she was smirking back up at me...she was cute.

"We'll see." She rolled her eyes as she snatched it back. I bite my lip as I look around to see if there was anyone watching. The hallways were mostly empty being that it was after school so I took my chance to step closer.

"Well then just let me know when you're ready to start moaning my name again." I whispered in her ear, running a finger along the waist of her shorts. Her breathing hitched in my ear once her weight shifted. I looked her in the eyes and our lips were nearly touching before suddenly pulling away and skipping away. I couldn't hide my laugh as I saw the look on her face. The score was even now.

Dani POV

"How was school?" I rolled my eyes the second I walk through the door. My dad and I haven't really talked since the tournament, my pride stopped me from even attempting reconciliation. I don't even bother to breathe out a response as I start to jog up the stairs.

"Danielle Christine Harper, you get your ass down here right now." His voice boomed through the house and it felt as his voice shoved my confidence back down my throat. I hesitantly make my way back down feeling the tension push against me with every step. His jaw tightened when I finally stopped in front of him. "I asked you a question."

"It was fine, father." Dani hissed as she readjusted her backpack strap on her shoulder. As much as my anger was boiling I still felt an ache because I don't think my dad and I have been mad at each other for this long.

"Sit down, we need to talk." He patted the couch cushion next to him.

"I have homework." I quipped as I folded my arms over my chest. After the weekend I had and being hit on by a disgusting jock I was about done talking to anyone and everyone.

"Dani, please." His voice softened as he patted the cushion once again. I plopped down still facing away from him. The truth is I missed my dad. But I was too stubborn for my own good to make the first apology. "Look I'm sorry about how I reacted to everything. You're my baby girl, I don't want anything to happen to you. You had me worried when you weren't home on time."

"I'm sorry too dad. I broke your trust and I promise I'm going to gain it back. I'm sorry I lied to you." And suddenly I was a little girl again burying myself in my dad's embrace.

"I swear to god Danielle if you ever come home with a hickey again I will find the guy who did it and chop off his fucking dick." My dad hissed and I chuckled. Now is not the time to tell him he should be worried about tits not dicks.
