Tiny Terror

I Am So Tired, Send Help

  "Mia....what are you doing?" Jace asked me, and I stood with my legs shoulder-width apart.

  "Jace....I'm riding on a fucking dinosaur!" I kicked my leg out, making it look as if the inflatable T-rex had done it. Holding the reins as Jace sighed, I smirked. "Check it, I got a ninja dino." Running at a wall, I ran up it a few steps before flipping back and landing on my feet. "You don't seem amused, but this is fucking hilarious."

  "Who would have thought this was something you'd like?" Jace mumbled while looking at me with his 'mom' face.

  "Look at this and try not to bloody laugh, I dare you." I said before I started to do the jerk with the green T-rex looking like it was dancing. Jace just smacked his hand against his forehead, but I was having a blast with this ridiculous costume for sports day. "Come, my trusty steed. We'll go find someone who understands the humor." I grabbed the reins again and put my nose in the air while walking off as I exaggerated my steps.

  As the other classes were going against each other, I was running around and doing parkour with my new dino buddy. However, I finally settled down when Vasco and Daniel were doing Tug-of-War one-on-one. ....It didn't really go as everyone thought, and Vasco ended up pulling the basketball hoop from the ground since someone had tied Daniel's end to it.

  When we had to break some gourd before the Practical Music Department, Vasco got it in one hit like he was some baseball all-star. We high-fived to celebrate the victory, and I was glad to find out that the Burn Knuckles leader also got the hilarity of these inflatable T-rexes.

  "Hey, Jace, you seen Vasco?" I questioned. "I got some milk with his name on it." Waving the carton I wasn't drinking from, the big-eared male glanced around before pointing.

  "I last saw him going that way. And don't give him too much chocolate milk, he needs water, too." Mama Jace crossed his arms as I was walking away.

  "Yeah, yeah, I got it!" I waved over my shoulder. Going in the direction Jace had pointed in, I looked around for the big guy and heard his voice around the corner.

  "....Kid. You are cool. I like you." Vasco was saying as I looked around the corner. I saw a short kid and some dicks from Vocal & Dance, but I started coughing as I choked on my milk when I witnessed Vasco ripping his shirt off and throwing it to the side. 'Vasco Surprise Attack!!'

  "Mia? What are you doing here?"

  "....Milk...." I coughed.

  "Oh, just give me a second." The big guy then turned back to the Vocal & Dance guys.

  "Hm. Look who it is." The one with sunglasses grinned. "The fool from the construction department."

  "I'm not a fool." Vasco stated. "I will beat you. Take off your glasses."

  "Oh, shit, that's a lot of blood." I said while looking down at who I saw was Duke. "I don't have anything to clean it with.... Ah! Use this as an ice pack." Putting my milk carton against the swollen part of his face, he flinched but took the milk while looking at me.

  "....Thanks." He mumbled.

  "No problem." I stated while looking at Vasco. Stuffing my free hand into my pocket, I just relaxed since the Burn Knuckles leader was about to kick some ass. I could figure that they were probably beating up Duke when Vaso had interfered.

  "....Just because I always walked away whenever you told me to take off my glasses....you think that makes me a pushover?!" The guy grabbed the front of Vasco's tank top while trying to kick his legs out from under him. The poor dude failed miserably, and the big guy didn't even budge. 'This would have been better with popcorn.' I thought as Vasco grabbed the guy's shirt and lifted him.

  "If you don't take them off, I'll do it for you." Vasco said while reaching for the shades. The other guy smacked his hand away when he tried to take them off, so the taller male just sighed. Turning on his heel, Vasco pulled the sunglasses guy over his shoulder, flipping him through the air before he slammed against the ground. The guy's shades flew off as the air was knocked from his lungs. 'Yeah, popcorn would have been perfect.'

  "Don't look at me!" The Vocal & Dance kid shouted while covering his face. "My glasses! Hurry! Don't look! Look and you die! Bring my glasses! Quickly! Just wait a sec! Fuck! This isn't over!" He was yelling but not bothering to even get up as he was coughing.

  "....Hey." Duke spoke up. "Thanks."

  "No need for that. You are cool." Vasco softly smiled down at the short boy.

  "....Um....you think I can become as strong as you?" He asked the taller male, and Vasco smiled again.

  "Start with 100 pull-ups, then 100 push-ups and 100 squats with a 10km run every day...."

  "Huh?!"

  "Vasco, not everyone can do that." I sighed. "Come on before Jace thinks I kidnapped you." Vasco bent over to pick up his shirt before following me. "Oh, right! Here." Nonchalantly tossing him the chocolate milk, I felt my ears burn from the smile on his face as he stabbed the carton with the straw.

  "Thanks, Mia."

  "No problem." I muttered while stuffing my hands into my pockets. "....Hey, Vasco?"

  "Huh?" The tall male glanced down at me, and I averted my gaze while rubbing the back of my neck.

  "....Would you, uh....would you like to go to the pound again sometime or something....?" Unable to look up, I just kept my gaze on the ground in front of me as we walked.

  "Of course!" Vasco said with an excited tone, and it felt as if my heart fluttered.

  "Cool." I muttered.
