Part 8

The next day it was the Wolfdale's turn to pick a competiton. Of course it was parkour. "The Wolfdale's have chosen parkour! You will each take turns to parkour across the roof to the other side!" my jaw dropped open. This was some dangerous shit. "you will be given the option to attend or back out from this challange." she finished. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. I saw the line for people who wanted to back out and went to stand there. Kyera was suprisingly in the other line! I looked at her with big eyes. Why would she even? What? SHE COULD DIE! I decided not to ask any questions and go on with my day.

Lunch time rolled around and we were announced which house was the winning house for this competition. "Wolfdale!" of course. I should have guessed. They are agile, smart, strong and fierce. They work as a pack and hunt down meek prey. I was sitting at the usual table when some of the bullies came up to me. Dante, who seemed not to have learnt his lesson, grabbed my collar and held me up into the air. I struggled to breath before he threw me down in the ground and kicked me away. I felt the tears dwell up in my eyes as Gear grabbed Dante's head and bashed it against a table. Again and again. He was saying something, but I couldn't really put my finger on what words that came out of his mouth. The last thing I knew was that I passed out, I didn't know why. I didn't know how. I just did.

I woke up in Gear's arms. He was carrying me back to my house dorm room. I didn't know why he was helping me. He was supposed to be a bully! "I'm sorry for what Dante did to you." he murmured softly. I smiled hearing his voice and nuzzled my nose into his chest. I heard his heart beat and it sped up the closer I got to him. Was he? No, impossible. I held onto his shirt and closed my eyes. He opened the door with his elbow and ignored the look he got from Kyera before he walked upstairs and layed me down on my bed. Kyera came rushing up and pulled him down slapping him in the face saying "What did you do to poor Ash? Did you infect him with your toxic mind set?" he pushed her away and rubbed his cheeks "no, just saved his ass from Dante." he gave her a cold glare. It was almost like it could stop a murderer in his tracks. She wimpered and nodded before walking downstairs to get me a glass of water. Gear came over and sat down on my bed. "I hope you recover soon. I will deal with Dante when I get back. Mabye take his teddy bear or something." I laughed "Dante? Has a teddy bear?" Gear smiled at that "Yea, it's hard to believe but he calls it Sir. Bear III" we both started to laugh at that name. It was something I could bring up to embarass him the next time he came at me. I smiled and dug my head into the pillows. I felt how Gear stood up to leave. "Sleep tight..." he murmured as he walked out. I smiled to myself. He was a real sweetheart.
