You're My Target

Chapter 13

Troy approached the school entrance, and rode around toward the back of the school where the vigil was taking place on the football field. he parked his moped against the fence that encircled the field. he looked through the chain-links and there was a large crowd of students already gathered. troy headed into the field to look for some familiar faces.

As he made his way through random classmates, he was pelted with various comments about the party he was throwing the following day. troy could only smile as he did not want to dwell on it and let it bother him. he already had enough on his mind tonight....."the big speech."

Troy was approached from behind by Hank and Pryor who surprised him.

"Heyyyy look who made it." Pryor said shaking Troys shoulders from behind.

"wheres your jersey?" Hank asked him pointing out Troy wasnt wearing his hockey uniforms jersey like they were.

"oh, i didn't know we were supposed to wear it." Troy replied turning to them.

"yea man team spirit and all that." hank replied pointing to the teams logo on his jersey.

"you 2 probably forgot to tell me at lunch because you were to busy running away after telling the entire cafeteria i was throwing a party. Troy said glaring at them.

"heh heh heh." Hank laughed a little embarrassed."

"relax, they are special jerseys for tonight, see?" Pryor turned to reveal the jerseys all had Jangs number '10' on the back. "we got a box over by the event stage thats set up."

"oh, okay." Troy nodded.

"so how'd the speech turn out." hank asked curiously.

Troy turned to Hank and put the glare back on his face.

"heh heh heh..." Hank laughed again shakily.

"come on lets get you your jersey.." pryor said dragging troy away from hank.

Pryor took troy to get a jersey and they looked around at the crowd and scenery. the crowd of students, friends and family had all came to Jangs vigil. troy just looked out at them from the side of the event stage that had been set up. as he stood there with his teammates he of course, caught a glimpse of a face he couldn't miss. he saw Soyeon in the distance. he felt a bit of happiness begin to flutter inside him, but then it quickly turned to nervousness again.

"hey, excuse me for a sec guys.." Troy said to his team heading to Soyeon.

Troy made his way over to soyeons direction. she was with Boram and the rest of her tiara friends. Even Eunjung had come.

"hey good to see you guys." Troy said approaching them.

"hey stud." Boram said playfully punching his arm.

"HI TROYY~" jiyeon and hwayoung said at the same time.

"hi" Soyeon said with a small smile and a little wave. Troy smiled crookedly back and felt the warmth in his face return.

Qri just nodded at him, as usual... and so did Hyomin who was usually more vocal with him. Troy didn't think much of it as he saw Eunjung standing there quietly.

"good to see you." Troy said trying to make conversation with her. hoping she wasn't still too upset about everything that had happened.

"you too." Eunjung replied quietly.

they stood there silently for a minute before the girls started looking at each other. Troy wasnt sure what was going on but they seemed to be having a conversation among themselves just by looking at each other. the girls split up in different directions, leaving Soyeon and Troy alone...
