Chapter A frog in the bottom of a well?
" Strange, ” I murmured, that was so fast. I just blinked once and she was gone already. Don’t they take P.E ?, the school’s pitch was the opposite way from where they headed. ” you are really good with ladies, aren’t you?” cruiz appeared behind me his eyes staring right at me. ” she just stole my pen?” I explained ” didn’t seem like the case to me, your heart was the one being stolen clearly” Cruiz countered ” where’d they go? do they attend P.E?” I inquired . ” They leave everyday at four....any student is allowed to do so. The last period isn’t that compulsory. Can we go to the pitch already, I don’t want to miss the cheerleaders practice” he started walking away.
Cheerleaders, the red haired girl. I smirked taking large steps to catch up to cruiz. ” you didn’t strike me as a pervert type” I said looking at the cheerleaders who wore extremely exposing clothing while performing flips. I then looked at cruiz who was looking at them dreamily. ” being a nerd doesn’t make me any less of a man. I’m also an hormonal teenager” he said ” why don’t you join the players over there, you’ll have a better shot at getting their attention instead of drooling stupidly” I suggested changing into a training gear. ” what are you doing? ” cruiz shrieked ” you cant join the basketball team dude” ” why not? I’m allowed to choose the club I want to join, rule number eight of the school rules” I smiled ” why don’t you join the debating club? or athletics or study group or tennis, the basketball team is bad news. You don’t have to risk your ass out there” he held my hand stopping me from tying my shoe laces “study group,” I scoffed ” turns out I also love trying new things , why don’t I test your theory” I swaggered towards the group of players doing push ups
The number of students around was surprising, this basketball was considerately the most popular sport here. The players turned to look at me weirdly , then with gloating expressions. They even ‘ignored’ me and continued to do their training. I walked and stood right before them, that was like invading their personal space. ” hey” I said cheerfully ignoring the fact that they were staring at me like they would gobble me up the next second” mind if I join you guys” I stretched my neck and started doing push ups. Oh wait, something’s definately wrong. Why is it so silent all of a sudden? . Each and every student was staring at me including the cheerleaders. I turned around and saw the white haired dude glaring at me hands akimbo.
" you wont mind, right?” I smiled ” you are in the wrong place asshole” the guy said gravely ” mmmmh” I held my chin contemplatively ” I don’t think so” “Lets see, I’m the school’s basketball captain and I reserve the right to disqualify or enroll you” he smirked then continued ” I also have an obligation to give you a chance if you pass one simple test. If you pass this test you’ll be allowed to join the group, if not.............” he gazed around the sea of expecting eyes with playfulness . ” you apologize to us in front of everyone else for disrupting a training session” his tone grew serious at the end.
I laughed, yes, that was my first reaction. And I was the only one doing so ” bring it on” I taunted The guy nodded then motioned the other players to form a circle around me. He removed his shirt exposing his extremely well developed body which earned a series of excited shouts and cheers.” wait..... we aren’t going to fight, are we?” I backed one step with hesitation. , I really didn’t expect that at all. Cruiz told me they were really strong .Horse balls, I silently cursed while ducking to avoid a blow heading towards my face. I had some fighting experience, it wasn’t that easy to leave your punch print on my face. Well I thought so too until the next punch landed heavily on my stomach making bile rise up my throat. I felt the urge to puke out blood, I even tasted iron in my mouth. Even more cheers resounded across the pitch seeing the guy hit me, everyone loves a fight after all especially if one was getting his ass handed over. ” let him be” I heard a voice, a lady’s .I was rather grateful a teacher had managed to show up in time before my perfect face gets destroyed. I was at the moment crouching so I didn’t get a look at her”fuck” I cursed. For a moment, all I saw was four knuckle heads ascending from the ground. The guy ought to give a break to breath . I felt a stinging pain which was followed by a blood fountain gushing out from my nose. I think I might have gotten a concussion after that heavy blow since I only saw stars swirl around my head for the next ten seconds. The next thing I knew, I was falling right on my ass.
“get him to the nurse” I heard the lady shout. I was beginning to doubt the identity of the lady, she wasn’t a teacher at all. She was a student, I forced my eyes to open and of course , it was the red haired girl. A pair of hands grabbed my shoulders to lift me up, I was well over my head to even stand up on my own. I was feeling extremely dizzy.” I’m not done with him” I heard my opponent say. ” you have already won..” the lady retorted ” let us take him to the nurse, guys?” ” I said I’m not done” I heard him shout then growl so animalistic I regretted ever taking up his test. The people holding me immediately released me silence ensuing. Rough hands picked me up by my shirt’s collar and lifted me up. ” when I say you are in the wrong place then you are, let me not see your sorry ass in my sight again, you hear me” he growled to my face, his eyes turning shades darker.It reminded me of cruiz’s warning about them being extremely strong and not to be pissed. I felt like I was a piece of rug seeing how easily I was hauled at a distance. I heavily fell on my right arm making me groan. I was hurt all over but most importantly , I had proven cruiz’s theory . This did serve to boost my self confidence a little but at a cost of being publicly beaten defenseless.
