An American Jock and His English Nerd!

Chapter One

Caleb looked at his watch for the second time in 10 minutes, come on bell, just ring, i'm starving, as if hearing his pleas the bell rang. He raced from the room to the toilet needing a quick pit-stop before heading to the cafeteria, ow shit i forgot about Marcus, well to be fair we aren't friends yet, & i'm sure hes probably already with his friends getting some food. Caleb left the toilet in a rush barely containing his excitement to eat, Caleb loved food, he slammed straight into something hard falling forward landing on this object, no not an object a person. "Ouch, fuck man!" the masculine, deep voice came from underneath him, "shit sorry dude" Caleb replied whilst pulling himself off of the guy laying underneath him. Caleb took a second to look this guy over, he had short blonde hair, big bright blue eyes, and muscular, geez was he muscular, a big toned chest leading down to a slim waist and strong muscly legs, Caleb then saw the football jersey he was wearing quickly realising this guy was a jock. The guy simply grunted & stood up, looking angrily at Caleb, Caleb didn't care though he was too hungry to care he simply smiled at the jock & apologized again, winking friendly at the jock as he left, when he took a quick glance back he saw the jock just staring at him with confusion. Caleb entered the cafeteria and joined the que straight away, pilling his plate up with pasta & garlic bread, there was enough food on his plate to feed three people. Smiling like a child about the amount of food until he turned around & realised a lot of people were looking at him from the different tables, oow shit i almost forgot this part, its the first day, they probably want to see what social class i'm gonna sit with. Looking around he saw the typical table of jocks & cheerleaders, the girls were all staring at him smiling, the one from Spanish class this morning was waving at him trying to get his attention causing the jocks sitting beside her to frown and give Caleb a dirty look, he saw the jock from before, the one that he crashed into join their table causing Caleb to chuckle & blush slightly. Moving his gaze to a table in the far corner of the room caught his eye he saw Marcus sitting with two other people a girl & boy, Marcus had his headphones in and the other two, they were looking down at something on their table, realising they were holding cards, playing some kind of card game. That's my kind of table, walking towards their table he could feel all the eyes in the cafeteria on him the cheerleader that was waving at him frowned, looking confused that he was walking in an opposite direction to her. It only took a couple seconds for Caleb to reach their table, he felt like the eyes of the pupils staring at him burning a hole in his back but he just shrugged them off, about to clear his throat when the group of three students seemed to have notice someone was standing at their table they looked up at him & Caleb simply smiled. Marcus's face drew into a horrified look, his eyes opening wide, he started to physically shake, the younger boy in the middle looked extremely nervous and crept a little closer to the girl, the girl simply glared at Caleb, scowling giving him a death look, she was a small girl around 5.5ft, dark ginger hair, glasses sat on the end of her nose & she was wearing a small yellow dress with black combat boots which made Caleb smile when he saw them. "Leave us alone" the girl snapped at him, Caleb ignored this knowing that she clearly just thought he was another dumb jock, "Hello, do you mind if i sit with you" Caleb said in a friendly manor towards all three of them, causing Marcus to shake even more, the boy in the middle just looked confused & the girl was grinding her teeth at him. "What are you playing at!?" she spat at him "don't you people ever give up, we just want to be left alone", Caleb looked at her this time speaking directly to her "well it's my first day & i kind of only know Marcus & wanted to sit with other people at lunch", "well i think you would be more comfortable sitting over there",she spat whilst pointing at the jocks table, "yeahhhh that won't be happening" Caleb sighed. "Sorry i'll leave you alone" he stated as he went to walk away only then realising that the card game they were playing was Yu-Gi-Oh, he looked at the boy in the middle who held his gaze, "use a dragon type, her creature is weak to dragon types" he winked at the younger boy. The girls demeanour suddenly changed "he's deaf he can't hear you, & besides he's already winning, help me if you want to help someone not him" she frowned a little less at Caleb, causing him to chuckle. "Does that mean i can sit" Caleb asked smiling, "Superman or batman?, Pokemon or Digimon, anime or cartoons? & what music do you listen to", ahhh a test, Caleb beamed at her "errm, superman obvs, he can fly, Digimon definitely Digimon, i like both anime & cartoons but if i had to choose them probably anime & music wise i like punk, & rock as well, did i pass?" Caleb chuckled at her, "you look like a jock, she muttered", "1, you should never judge a book by its cover, & 2, i fucking hate jocks" Caleb laughed. The young girls eyes grew bright & she finally smiled "please sit, if you still want to", causing Marcus & the younger boy to look at her as if she just fed them to a shark. "It's ok guys he seems alright" she smiled softly at them before sending a look at Caleb to say 'hurt them & i will kill you'. Sitting down Caleb caught the boy in the middle looking at him, confusion furrowing the young boys brow, he clearly wanted to ask Caleb something, "what do you want to ask me" Caleb signed to the boy, which resulted in the boys eyes opening wide and a great big smile going from ear to ear making Caleb chuckle. "You can sign?, how do you know how to sign?" the young boy signs back extremely happy, making Caleb's chuckle turn into a giggle, "my little sister was deaf" he signed back his smile now disappearing from his face. "Was" the deaf boy sighed, causing him to get a jab in the ribs off of the young girl & a shake of her head, silently telling him to shut up, hmmm she must understand sign language as well. "So what are your guys names" Caleb asked signing at the same time towards the deaf boy & girl trying to change the topic of the conversation, "i'm Tali, & this is George" the young girl responded whilst pointing at George who was still smiling at Caleb. Looking over at Marcus who still hadn't said a word since he came to the table, he was still shaking but less so, "what are you listening to?" Caleb asked him, causing the boy to go pale "e-e-errm, j-just some r-rock m-music" he stammered back in response, "dude, you don't need to be scared of me, i'm not going to hurt you" Caleb replied with a big smile trying to convince Marcus who just blushed & looked down at the table, making Caleb raise his eyebrow at him. "Hes extremely shy, not surprising considering those arsehole jocks, beat him up all the time" Tali added into the conversation, "well i'm not your typical everyday jock, so i'm guessing you like superheroes?" Caleb responded to both of them, aiming his question at Marcus because of his outfit who simply nodded. Geez this guy is scared to death of me, i'm going to have to convince him i'm not a monster. Looking up from his train of thought he realised both the boys had shrunk back into their chairs, looking extremely pale & dead silent as they glanced at the table, Talia however was glaring, pure rage was building up in her eyes, she looked like she was ready to kill someone, only then realising someone was stood behind him.
