A Charming Town

Welcome to Charming

A new kid. That wasn't unusual in Charming. The low crime rate brought in lots of families wanting a safe town to raise their kids, not realizing that the only reason the town was so safe was because of the motorcycle club that ran the town from behind the scenes. But over the last four months there had been eight people that had gone missing from town and there hadn't been a new kid in school for over a year since the war against the Mayans began.

That made the new kid unusual. Why did a family want to move to Charming while it was experiencing it's bloodiest year in Charming history. On top of that no one had been hired in the area. No man or woman looking for a job to support their kid and no one knew where the new kid lived. In a town this small it was impossible to escape people knowing at least a little about you as soon as you came to town, but this kid was a complete enigma.

The only thing that anyone knew about the new kid was that on his first day at Charming High he was dropped off by an old black car, he kept to himself and he'd been seen around town with a younger boy that went to the middle school.

Jax wasn't the only one that didn't like how much he didn't know about the new kid, Gemma and Clay didn't like that they had yet to see a parent around town and didn't know what they're intentions were here. The mystery around the new kid was what made him beyond unusual.

Jax was walking down the hall with Tara and one of her friends. They were chatting while he escorted them to their next class. They were almost to the classroom when the new kid walked past them, he smiled and nodded his head to the girls before continuing down the hallway. Jax followed the new kid with his eyes while the girls erupted into giggles and Tara's friend began gushing about how cute he was. Jax broke off from the girls and followed the new kid down the hall and around the corner. When Dean turned down the end hallway he was alone. The hallway only had one classroom and two empty teacher offices. Jax rounded the corner and grabbed the new kid by the shoulder and spun him around.

"Who do you think you are? Flirting with my girl?" Jax growled, pushing the new kid against the wall. The few students who were walking out of the classroom quickly diverted their eyes and hurried down the hall.

"I think my name's Dean. And you are?" Dean asked as he leaned back against the wall completely relaxed. Dean's ease only pissed Jax off more.

"The guy that's going to bash your pretty boy face in. The Teller-Morrow auto shop on the end of town, 3 o'clock. Be there." Jax snarled as he pushed away from Dean.

"Sure." Dean said as he straightened up and adjusted the collar of his leather jacket.

"And I trust that this will be a one on one fight." Dean stated and Jax snarled again as he spun on Dean.

"I wouldn't let anyone else have the pleasure of beating your ass into the ground." Dean looked pleased and nodded to Jax.

"See you at three." Dean turned and walked into the classroom. Jax was seeing red, Dean's easy going acceptance of Jax's threat pissed him off and set him on edge at the same time. There was something wrong with the new kid and Jax was going to get to the bottom of it.

With ten minutes till three Jax was pacing the TM parking lot. Opie was standing a few feet away, rolling his eyes at his best friend. Jax needed to learn to control his temper. Opie had tried talking Jax down, but he wouldn't hear any of it. Jax had made sure that Clay knew what he was doing and Clay told him to keep it clean. It amazed Opie how fucked up their lives were that the adults in their lives thought it was a good idea to settle a beef with fists and guns instead of remaining level headed and talking things out.

Opie checked his watch, at least there was only three more minutes till this shit show got started. Jax continued to pace and the other guys milled around, keeping an eye out, not wanting to miss the afternoon's entertainment. The minutes ticked by and Jax only seemed to get more agitated the longer he waited. It was now 3:03 and Jax was fit to be tied.
