The Forces Against Our Love. |Jim X Reader|

Why Are They Leaving Me Out?

Sorry for the short chapter!

——————

As the month passed me and Strickler had gotten pretty close to the point where when we spare he tells me about his date with Jim's mom! Jim is obviously hating this idea of his mom and teacher dating but I think it's quite cute actually. Barbra deserves a good man anyway- even if he isn't full man he's still a pretty good guy! Strickler had actually given me missions for the retrieval of the Killahead bridge! He said that if the bridge was rebuilt we could get all the help we needed from Gunmar. Apparently this Gunmar guy was stuck somewhere far from here. I'm not sure why.. No one has given me many details on this stuff just the big picture. Gunmar will help me kill the Troll Hunter. I have come in contact with the Troll Hunter on a few occasions but not many. He certainly was a troll- quite the ugly one. He had 4 other trolls with him too. One of them was huge! His name was just Arrrgh for some reason. There was one with 6 eyes and 4 arms too, his name was Blinky. His appearance fit well with the name. I never did get a good look at the other two, they were blurry and spoke quietly. I could hear the Troll Hunters voice clearly. It was deep and musky and terrifying. I couldn't see him that well though, the blue smoke that radiated from his armor blurred my vision. I was a little jealous by that smoke though.. why don't I get cool smoke too?
I've been missing school a few times every month thanks to training but definitely not as much as Jim! He misses so much school that he's probably going to end up redoing the grade! And recently.. Jim has gotten closer to Claire. Not like it concerns me or anything but... Oh who am I kidding? I really like Jim! My crush on him has been growing for a while now and it's killing me! I've never had a crush this big on a guy before! I would  love to talk to another girl about this but the only girl friend I have is Claire! I can't tell her about Jim! What if she has a crush on him?! I'm so overwhelmed by him when he's alone with me. We still study every few days together alone. Mom is used to having him over and Barbra is used to seeing me around her house cooking with Jim. She tells me about her dates with Strickler sometimes because Jim doesn't listen to her talk about that stuff. It's really cute to see her all in love and stuff. I just wish I could have something like that too! Hopefully sometime before I'm killed by the Troll Hunter and his pals.
"Hey Jimbo, what'd you get for number 6?" Toby asked from the desk next to me. I sit in the middle of the two boys in a few of our classes. Math, history, and biology.
"U-Uh..." Jim stuttered trying figure out an answer until he peaked over at my paper. "x=39" he told Toby. I giggled and rolled my eyes.
"Jim, Toby, you know you could do your own work right?" They shrugged their shoulder.
"We could but..." Jim started.
"You have all the answers before we do!" Toby finished and they both laughed.
"Who would like to come up to the board and write down number 6?" The teacher looked around and saw only Toby moving his wire covered teeth. "Ah- Toby. Come up to the board and show us how it's done!"  She slammed the chalk on his desk making it break in half. All three of us jumped in our seats. The poor guy...  We salute you soldier!
Me and Jim saluted to him with two fingers and a little chuckle after the teacher turned away. As predicted Toby solved the problem incorrectly yet in the end still put the correct answer. His work was wrong but he got the right answer, haha. The teacher was disappointed obviously from the look on her face.
After math we had biology then history with Strickler.
Jim and Toby had been walking around with a horseshoe all day throwing it at people! I yelled at them once and they quit. At the end of the day I saw them talking to Strickler. The horseshoe was near stricklers foot yet he didn't pick it up for them. Maybe he was tried of Jim and Toby too. Thankfully before Strickler was about to throw hands at the boys, Claire had picked up the horseshoe and handed it to Toby. Strickler said one more thing to Jim before walking away to his classroom. Toby seemed pretty upset.. and he threw the horseshoe again.
"Toby! Stop throwing that thing!" I yelled from around 6 feet away and went to pick up the horseshoe. Jim and Toby stared at me right before I picked it up which felt weird because I was bending over. "Stop staring guys, you're giving me the creeps" I handed them the horseshoe.
"Sorry Y.n...." toby sighed and took it from my hands. Jim had a little blush on his cheeks, at least he knew what I was talking about.
"S-Sorry.." jim rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed.
"What were you talking about with Strickler?" I asked as we walked to get our bikes and ride home.
"Oh.. nothing" Jim muttered.
"Nope! Nothing really just about-" Jim embowed Toby in the stomach before he could finish talking. Rude.
"About what" I glanced at their eyes which looked back and forth between the two boys.
"Trolls!" Toby yelled.
"Homework!" Jim yelled at the same time as Toby which made me unsure of what the either of them had just said.
"Tromwork??" I questioned tilting my head.
"Uhhhhh Yeah! It's a new ice cream flavor" Toby said smiling awkwardly like Jim. They're hiding something again.
"Okay" I sighed and road my bike a little faster leaving them behind
