I woke up screaming. The bed sheets where tangled around my legs, glued with sweat. I ran over to my mirror. Looking away I unpeeled the gauze slowly. When it was off I looked down. It turned out it was just a dream. There was still a bite. I put the gauze back on and went to bed.
The next morning I got ready for school. I went down for breakfast. My mom was frying some bacon and my dad was sitting drinking coffee reading a newspaper. Just like in the movies I thought to myself. "Good morning familia." I said "Mornin' Jackson." My dad replied. I sat down and my mom gave me a plate full of sizzling bacon, steaming eggs, and crunchy toast. With a glass of orange juice to wash it all down."Your going to need alot of energy if your going to make rugby team rember tryouts are today."my mom told me "i know, I know." I replied. I ate all of my food and ran out the door. I was waiting for Sam to come and pick me up. The funny thing is I could be blind and know when Sam is in front of me. His car is and old camaro that pops every time he touches the gas. When he came I got in."Ready for prison." He asked me. "Ready as I'll ever be."I said back. On that note, we went to school.
It was a Friday when the incident happened so I still had to go to the hell hole of high school. I was a sophomore and it was a couple weeks since we got back from winter break. And it was when our district starts the rugby season. About 50 guys tryout but only 20 get in. 15 on the field and 5 for subs. I was nervous when to bell rang. Not only because I was trying out for the team, but I was going into first period. Math, and we had a big test that i didn't study for. The teacher was an old lady Mrs. Johnson. She looked sweet and innocent but once you lock her in a room with 25 teenagers..... well you don't want to know. But being the mean old lady, she was nice today and gave us all 10 minuets to study. Flying through my notes I didn't notice the new person in the front of the room. "Everyone stop studying!" Mrs. Johnson barked. "We have a knew student." she said.
The girl in front of the class was stunning. Black long wavy hair, icy blue eyes,and a beautiful face. And her butt was well... never mind. All the guys in the room where practically drooling, including me. Even Drake the gay guy was over thinking if he where still gay. And the best part, she sat in front of me. When she sat down I tapped her shoulder. When she turned around I stammered "h..hi I'm Jackson." "Hi" she replied "I'm Alex."
Alex POV
When the boy behind me tapped my shoulder and i turned around and my heart heart skipped a beat. He had short brown spiky hair, brown eyes, and he was HOT! When we told our names we talked and talked. I told him where i was from and stuff like that. But i felt bad for him because he used up all his time to talk to me instead of study. He cursed under his breath as Mrs. Johnson handed out the test. I didn't have to take the test so i just sat there. When there was ten minuets left of class Jackson threw me a note. I unfolded it and it said "Lunch?" I wrote "Yes. Wait when is lunch?. I threw it back "After fourth period. I'll meet you in the court yard." "OK " replied and then the bell rang. He had world history and I had science. But we had third, fifth, and seventh together. I was very happy that I found a new friend, and maybe something more.
Second, third ,and fourth wizzed by and it was time for lunch. I was walking to the court yard I saw Jackson. I was about to yell his name when two guys shoved him into a locker. One held him and the other started to punch is stomach. They punched his side and he howled in pain. I started to run over to him. He was on the floor crying and cringing. I knelt beside him when to two guys started to tease him . "awwww look at the poor baby." the first one said. "he needs a bitch to defend him." I stopped looking at Jackson and stood up slowly. "What did you call me?" i asked warning. " a bit.." he didn't get to finish his sentence because my foot was deep in gut and he was on the floor gasping for air. The other guy started to swing but i grabbed his arm twisted it and shoved him against a locker. "If any of you dicks want to do this again i would be nice." The guy on the floor got up and said"you little..." but once again he didn't finish his sentence. Because with one arm I filliped him over my shoulder and stepped on his throat. " Now if both if you would apologize to my Friend over here." "s..sorry" they both stammered." From now on you will be nice to Jackson over here, and be nice to any girl you come across I will let you go, so what will it be? The beating of a life time or Be nice. Your pick." "We will be nice we swear, please just let us go." "Fine you twisted my wing, now get out of here." When I let them go they scrambled away. And by the time that was over alot of people had circled around Jackson and I. "You never told me you where a kung fu master." he said. "Its called Mixed Martial Arts." I said "Let me get you to the nurse." "No need I feel great" he said. "You sure" "Yup never felt greater in my life." "Fine, still want lunch? "Of course I'm starving" We walked down the hall way and he started to hold my hand. I blushed and we went to lunch
Jackson POV
It turned out tryouts got canceled so i went home. When i got there my mom asked what happened to tryouts. I told her it was moved to tomorrow. At dinner my dad asked me if anything happened at school today. "Nothing out of the ordinary." i said. I didn't want to tell him about the fight or Alex. After dinner I went to my room. I wondered how I wasn't hurt from getting beat up. Not even a bruise. I took of my shirt and pulled back the gauze. But there was nothing to see. It had healed.
Hey, do you like Alex. I thought why not. Lets add some romance. Hoped you enjoyed it. See ya~ Tigerscar
