I really didn’t see that coming. To add to my fear, George was just looking at Jason with a look as if he was used to it.
“STOP IT. How could you hit a girl this hard?” someone asked.
“Now who is it?” I asked turning around in frustration. I was already scared to my core seeing the horrific side of the otherwise laughing Jason.
Oh no! Shouldn’t have asked! SHOULDN’T HAVE ASKED!
It was the one and only Emmett with Kenneth and Tony Blake.
He was NOT happy.
“You think this thing is a girl?” Jason asked back, not looking at the asker of the question. I spared a moment to look at Jason and had a hard time trying to describe Jason’s expression.
He looked demonic, like the reincarnation of a wronged person looking for revenge. His eyes were becoming more bloodshot by the minute. Jason’s eyes always became bloodshot when he became angry but I had never seen him that enraged.
He looked up slowly not losing that murderous look. I could spot traces of fright even in Emmett’s eyes.
“Who're you?” asked Jason in an uninterested tone.
Yeah, real lousy timing Jason.
“So you have pulled off the indifferent face in front of Emmett just like you said, huh?” asked Kenneth who seemed ticked off and so seemed Emmett.
Jason smiled devilishly and started walking towards Emmett and spoke, “So you’re Emmett huh? Nice of you to join us. I really wanted to…”
The sound of a punch, a bone (more exactly a rib) breaking, coughing.
“…punch the living daylights out of you” said Jason to Emmett who was by that time, on the floor coughing out blood! And it was just one punch!
Okay, now I’m very, very scared of my own best friend, my own crush for crying out loud!
Seeing the plight of their leader, Kenneth and Tony backed off. Moreover it was sort of Emmett’s order to them that they should never interfere in one on one fights.
Clearly, Emmett was not clever enough because he stood up and flung his fists blindly at an ever so calm Jason who dodged them rather easily. I had to stop it before Emmett got killed. So I ran back to the school building in search of Ms Emily as she was the homeroom teacher and at the same time tried to stay out of the sight of the other teachers as I didn’t want to make things worse. Luckily, I spotted her walking alone so I ran to her and told her everything. We ran back to the place where the boys were fighting and damn, it was far away.
Emmett’s P. O. V:
What the heck is this Jason guy made of???
Either he had undergone some form of training or had great fighting experience. I was sure that his first punch broke one of my ribs, but I ignored the pain and fought but in vain. He took his time, watched my attack, dodged it easily and then gave a counter-attack. I couldn’t do the same however because his attacks were too fast.
To add to my misery, the broken rib was starting to take its toll on me. With each punch that left my fists, my breathing became more laboured. That instantly reflected in my speed. My vision was also getting cloudy as was my concentration. I could barely manage to look properly at his vicious face let alone see his punches coming straight to my face at insane speeds.
Only once from the start did I block his punch. I was too busy congratulating myself for doing so, that I didn’t see his other hand coming straight to my cheek bone. I fell down for the… I even lost count of how many times I fell down and I used to have a reputation for never falling down in any of the 127 fights I had fought!
Well, there goes my reputation out of the window. I thought as Jason held my head by my hair and aimed his fist at my blood-covered face for another punch.
That’s it. I infuriated this formidable opponent and now I’m gonna get a free-of-cost facelift!
“WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?”
Who was that?
I turned around and saw a teacher I didn't know. She was new I supposed.
Whew! I’m saved.
I turned back and saw Jason looking ready to pee his pants.
Why, she doesn’t look that intimidating.
Five minutes proved that I was wrong. We were all given a good, I mean really painful beating and some advice. After that she let us go. I was actually thankful that she did not make the issue bigger. But I was not gonna let it go. Jason just made a really bad mistake.
And that teacher, Ms Emily sure knew how to thrash someone.
“Since you fought to protect Janet, I’m letting you go,” she said glaring at Jason. Did they know each other? What was going on between them? I was almost sure that I heard Jason say, "Sure, say it again," in a low voice.
“Everyone except Jason can leave now," said Ms Emily and that left Jason petrified. Something was definitely up between the two.
Before I left, I went close to Jason and whispered, “Fight’s not over boy,” and left. If that teacher was somehow important to Jason, I could even use her as leverage against the vicious boxer.
Emily’s P. O. V:
What a long day! Jason getting into trouble wasn’t such a big problem compared to Amy. Before Janet came and informed me of the fight, I was scolding Amy for blackmailing Jason when all of a sudden, she threw herself at me trying to kiss me!
“Please, just once, one kiss…” 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA29AI04tKJ
[‘I kissed a girl’ by Katy Perry]
“No Amy, STOP” I shouted and she retreated.
“I always loved you and I couldn’t bear seeing you lean toward Jason, that’s why I threatened him…” she said crying.
“I love you too but as a student, not the other way around okay?” I asked.
“But-but, please. One kiss is all I ask.”
"Geez, can't you understand? I just can't do that okay? But anyway, you shouldn't have done that to Jason. Apologise to him when you get the chance, got it?"
She nodded and left sobbing. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her but there was not much I could do.
So after punishing the boys and girls for fighting, I asked Jason to stay and told him that I had taken care of Amy and that she wouldn’t cause any trouble. Of course I left the trying-to-kiss part as telling that would’ve made the situation awkward. He didn’t look so convinced but nodded nonetheless.
“Um… Jason?” I asked after a difficult minute of silence.
“Yeah?”
“I wanted to thank you for defending me. I don’t dislike you……”
“Just say that you like him” told my inner voice.
Jason’s face became visibly brighter.
“Nah-uh don’t get any bright ideas boy. All I meant was that I forgive you for the kiss you sneaked off me earlier,” I said.
We went home after bidding adieu.
