*The picture above or to the side, however u see it, Is what I imagined Amy to look like.*s
Jay POV
I watched him stand there, the look of absolute terror in his eyes. Like all hope was shattered the moment he stood up. He opens his mouth to talk but nothing comes out. I can see the pages of the book steadily shaking in his grasp, i can see the panic on his face. And it hurt. To see him like that, to see him so afraid to speak.
Eventually his voice comes out. It’s raspy and broken, but it still sounds so angelic at the same time. I have to watch him struggle so hard for each letter, I have to watch him squint his eyes and strain his face. He stoped reading and just stairs at the page. He starts to shake his head no and his eyes dart in all direction, then be bolts. Leaving the class in silence.
“Well seen we wasted so much time who would like to read now?”is all the bitch said to break the silence.
“Are you seriously that cold?”I whisper in disbelief, just barely loud enough for her to hear.
“Excuse me? Do you have something to say Mr Walker?”she retorts
“Yes, yes I do. Just a quick question, WHAT THE FUCK WRONG WITH YOU?!”
“Mr Walker I do not expect such disrespect from my students, you may be new so ill let you off this time-“
“Disrespect? Your student just bolted like his life depended on it because of YOU!!! DO YOU NOT HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CONCERN? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD!!!”
” I will NOT tolerate this language Mr Walker. Get out of my class! You have detention for the next week.”
“Is that so? Your going to give me detention for what? Having a heart!”
“Leave now!”
“He’s not going anywhere! Your the dipshit here.”Snapped the girl from before, Amy I think.
“Amy sit. Down.”
“Or what?”
“If you do not sit you ass down you’ll be joining Walkers here in detention.”
“Thats FUCKING FINE WITH ME YOU HEART LESS, SELFISH, BITCH!!”She spat before grabbing her stuff and leaving the room. I look back at Mrs Ricardo, her face was contorted into an ugly frown making her wrinkles stand out more and her lips pressed in a line.
“I hope your pleased with your self, I hope your really fucking enjoying this!”I shot at her before packing up and leaving too.
“You know you didn’t have to get detention to right? You could have just stayed quite.”I told Amy as we sit in the reception waiting on be called to the head teacher.
“Oh, well I’ve been quite for long enough. Also It felt really good to finally get to scream in her stupid face, Ive always hated her racist ass.”she chuckles with her arms crossed across her chest.
“Why did she do that? And why can’t Asher speak? And why do people avoid him like the plague?”I bombard questions at.
“Well it’s no secret she’s a control freak to the next level. Asher’s never spoken in school before as far as I’m concerned and so that fact that he defies her by not speaking pisses her off. Well thats my theory anyway. Other than that the only reason I can think of is she’s a real bitch.”there is a comfortable silence between us for the next few minutes, both of us stuck in our own thoughts until Amy speaks up once again.
“Why did you do that? I mean, you just got here, you don’t even know Asher and I’m pretty sure you were sitting at Justins table at lunch, your pretty fit so I assume you do sport too. Which would imply that your a jock that thinks he’s above everyone else. So what I’m stuck on is why on earth would you of all people give a shit about him, you could have just stayed silent he the rest of the no good fucking class.”she rambled out, speaking her thoughts. Wow, I never even thought of that. I mean sure I think he’s cute but why did I do that?.
“I’m sorry if that comes across as creepy I swear I’m out staking you or some shit, I’m just observant.” She states after I stay silent for a while, stuck in my head.
“Oh no, ha thats not it I was just thinking. I don’t…I don’t really know why I did that to be honest. I just did. Also not all jocks are dicks you know.”
“Okay. By the way all the jocks here are dicks soo like, unless you plan on become a heartless asshole like the rest of them I would stay away from Justin.” Before I can ask what makes Justin so bad or why I should stay away from him the receptionist cut me off.
“You can go see the head teacher now.”she said and then turned back to her computer screen.
I end up getting an hour of detention for the next three days, which I guess isn’t so bad except for the fact that I have to know tell mum I have detention on the first day. I text Lily that I have detention and she decided to wait the hour with some of her new friends. So now I’m stuck In this stupid detention with Amy and just staring into space until the teacher dismisses us.
“Hey, you ready to go?”I ask Lily as I approach my car she’s leaning on.
“yeah let’s go.”she replies and we both get in the car and drive out the parking lot.
“Ok I’m confused, HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET DETENTION!!!”she shouted at my face as I stopped at a red light.
“I had a fight with my English lit teacher.”I coldly reply.
“Can I ask why?”
“Listen I already have to deal with mum about this, please don’t be annoying I’m begging you.”I said as the lights turned green and I start driving again.
“Okay jeez, It was just a question.”I hear he mutter under her breath. Great now I just feel even more like crap.
Pulling up to the drive I mentally prepare my self for my mum’s almost certain rage. And I’m right. As soon as we enter the bloody house she was waiting by the kitchen door.
“JAYDEN FRANCISCO WALKER!!!! GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW.”shit. I make my way over to the kitchen were my mum was cooking, now she’s leaning on the counter top looking like she could kill.
“Explain!”is all she said, but that simple word sent shivers down my spine.
“Okay mum, just calm down ok I promise you I have a rather valid reason.”I try to compromise with her.
“A valid reason? How do you validate SWEARING AT YOUR TECHER!!!”she shouted back.
“Mum seriously you don’t know what she did!”
“Oh and what did she do that was so bad huh?”
“There’s a boy In class who can’t read and doesn’t talk at all and everyone knows this but even then she made him stand up and attempted read or he would get detention so he tried but he couldn’t and ran out the room in tears and she just carried on with the lesson like she didn’t humiliate him in front of everyone!”I stop to take a breath. I just spilled it out so fast I’m not even sure she understood what I said. But the look on her face said otherwise.
“Oh”Is all she got out, still looking completely dazed.
“Well she sounds like a bitch!”Lily cut in the silence. I didn’t even realise she was in the room. Mum didn’t even scold her for her language, thats how shocked she was.
“Ok, Yh I guess that’s a valid reason. I’m just uhh….I’m just going to finish dinner, you go and….go and get ready or something.”she quickly said before turning to continue cooking. I have no idea what to do right know but I don’t think staying in here while she cooks is a good idea either, so I head to my room.
*time skip*
It’s been a week since the incident with Mrs Ricardo and life has calmed down a bit from my first day. Amy and I have gotten closer since, she’s a pretty cool person. I don’t think I would have ever hung out with her type of crowd before, but things change. Actually a lot of things have changed. I still hang out with Justin and his lot but I don’t really know why anymore, I mean sure there populate and all but they not the best of people. Victoria is the worst, she has no regards for anyone or anything and she really needs a filter, the things she can just say about people is rotten. Duncan isn’t so bad he just follows what ever Justin has to say. Miguel actually just stays quite and only speaks up when its absolutely essential.The twins are probably the only ones how are actually pleasant to be around, Lucas does most of the talking between the two because he always has something to comment on or joke about, he’s a pretty chill guy. As for the other two, Bailie and Nate basically don’t have lives if there not making out or flirting with each other to the point its passed cute and its just gross.
“Hey Justin invited me to a party on Friday, wanna join me I need someone to stop me doing something really fucked up.” I ask Amy. We’re currently In the library on our free period studying for our Pre cal exam seen as were both in the same class. I have also gathered she’s a pretty smart person too.
“You’r joking right?”She scoffed back.
“Umm, no?”
“Oh wow, you really think I want to go to some random persons house filled with a bunch of sweaty teenagers that are either going to be drunk, making out at some random spot half in their clothes while half of them are banning up stairs?” She explains her reason.
“Well aren’t you a party pooper jeez.”
“Why are you even still friends with Justin and Duncan? What did I say? “
“Okay, point taken but there not that bad, most of them at least.”
“Oh trust me there All dicks one way or another, I fucking dated one of them.”
“Wait seriously?! WHO!”I shout causing multiple people harshly shush me.
“That my friend is a secret for another time. Come on we have to get back to class soon.” And with that she up and left me in shock. She dated a jock? She dated SOMEONE!!?
Class was boring as usual, not like I could have expected anything else. Asher isn’t in any of my other classes except bio and English lit, It would also seem he’s avoiding me for some reason. I don’t see him at lunch, I catch him looking in my direction in the halls but as soon as I see him he’s gone off in the other direction. In class he sits as far away from me as possible and ignore every attempt I make at trying to talk to him if I even get the chance to catch him that is. I don’t know why he is, but its as clear as day.
The lunch bell finally rings and I start to make my way to the cafeteria. I’m a few halls from my destination when I hear the distant chats “fight, fight, fight, fight…..” I don’t even notice my legs are following the chants until I see a crowd Of teenagers circling something, or well some one.
pushing through the body’s getting death glares from half of them I eventually make it to the centre of the action.
“Go on, get up you little fag”Justin sneered as he looked down at a small bloody Asher laying on the floor curling himself into a ball, his arms flying to his head to protect himself from Justin attack, but Justin sent a kick to his stomach.
“I SAID GET UP!! DON’T ignore me yo-“I cut him off as my fist went flying across his face with a satisfying crack sound. I didn’t even realise I punched him until I felt the slight pain in my knuckles, but It was nothing compared to what I’m going to do to him.
“Jay? What the fuck are-“He tried to talk while holding his know bleeding noes, but I cut him off again as my other fist goes for his face again, causing his head to whip around. But I my rain of joy ended as he got over his initial shock and came in for a counter attack to my stomach, making me double over. He carries on throwing hit after hit on me not leaving me any time to retaliate. Until I see Amy’s curly hair comes out of nowhere
“HEY, DIPSHIT!!!”She shouts catching his attention.
“Well at least you know your a dipshit right.”she storms over and goes straight to Justin while he was in a split second of hesitation and stamps her foot down on his dick with such force I felt the second hand pain as he cries out falling to his knees. I take this opportunity Amy so thoughtfully gave me and grasp his shoulders and smash my own knee into his already bleeding face. Grabbing two clusters of his shirt I lift him up to his feet shoving him into the lockers behind him.
“Don’t you DARE touch him again! Do I make myself clear.”I sneer in his face with my jaws clenched. He was pathetic and shaking with fear as he rapidly nodding his head.
“DO I MAKE MY SELF CLEAR!!!”I shout. The cheating he long since stopped and the hall is now fiddled with soft murmurs, whispers and the occasional snap as they take photos for what ever reason.
“Y-Yes!”He stutters out. I drop him to the ground and turn to face the small boy on the floor. He was curled in a ball silently sobbing. I reach out my hand to see if he’s ok, well obviously he’s not ok. As soon as my finger touches his shoulder the jumps away from my grasp and stumbles backwards while looking straight at me in pure fear.
“N-N-NO!”His tiny voice lets out as he tries to get to his feet.
“Hey look I’m not going to hurt you, I just wan-“He doesn’t let me finish as he starts to turn the other direction and run off, almost falling a few times but catching himself with the help of the lockers.
“Hey! WAIT!!”I get up to go after him but someone grabs my arm to stop me. Turning around I see Amy holding me shaking her head. I turn back to see he’s no ware in sight, She drops he hand from my arm and I hear her sigh. The students in the hall have diffused as Justin still lays on the floor weeping in pain.
“Come on, let’s get the blood cleaned off you face no grab something to eat.”she calmly states as she places a gentle hand on my shoulder.
“yeah”I breath out. Before we leave she goes back to the boy on the floor and kicks him again in his stomach and then walks off.
“Ow, could you not cause me any more pain?”I complain as she dabs a disinfectant on the cut in my brow. Were currently in the boys bathroom since I refused to go into the girls and Amy had no problem come in in here.
“Oh shut up I’m doing you a favour.”
“Yeah, umm thanks I guess.”I said before hissing in pain as she cleans it some more.
“I can’t believe we did that.”she changes the subject.
“hole FUCK, what did I just do” Only now does the severity of what I just did come crashing down on me. I just blow any chance I had to be something in this school, and for some reason I don’t care as much as I though I would.
“You my friend, finally kicked Justins stupid ass. Congratulations.”She laughed, and I soon join her.
“Aw man did you see his face! It was priceless I swear he was gunna piss his pants!!!”We were literally dying with laughter, I could barely breath!
“Who knew our Jay could be so scary!! Jeez.”She was trying to catch her breath but every time I so much as looked at her we broke out all over again.
Eventually we clam down enough to breath properly, much to the pleasure of my suffering lungs. But my mood is instantly shattered as his face pops into my head. He was so sacred, of me? He’s afraid of me!?.
“Hey what are you thinking That so depressing?”Amy asks noticing my sudden change.
“He’s scared of me. I saw him, Asher’s terrified of me!”I breath out.
“Look, its not your fault in the slightest. Asher’s not had the best experience with jocks like Justine, you just come across as his type but trust me if he ever gets to know you he’ll see the real you.”she reassured me.
“Yeah, yeah ok.”I reply and get up to leave, but I stop when she steps in front of me with her arms crossed and looking at me with one eye brow raised.
“What?”I ask feeling slightly uncomfortable under her gaze.
“Don’t what me. You like him don’t you?”she asked. Shit. How the fuck did she know? Is she going to be pissed? Is she homophobic? Shit, shit, shit.
“Jeez calm down. I just wanted to know I’m not some homophobic bitch.”that slightly calmed me down as my tense muscles start to relax a little.
“Umm…well you know. I guess.”I shrug my shoulders and start to scratch the back of my head under my nerves.
“You guess? Hell na you got it baaaad.” She chuckles.
“Okay, thats nice, can we get to class now?”I ask really wanting this conversation to be over.
“Sure, You can do what ever you want.”
“your not going to just let this slip are you?”
“not a chance, I’m so going to be your fan girl from afar.”
“Great.”and with that the bell goes off and we leave the bathroom to get to class. Do I really have it bad for Asher? I mean he’s cute and adorable and his eyes are so mesmerising and those lips and his eyes lashes and hair. I’m going to take that as a yes. I actually have a serious crush on this kid.
