The New Kid
His sentence in Juvenile hall had just finished, he went back to start school again at his old high school, but they refused him telling him he was expelled. His parents had thrown him out so he had gone to the outskirts of town and built from scratch a house with a chimney, a straw mattress, and some furnishings for his newly constructed shack. Broke and no job, he went to school for free and got a job busing tables at a local café, the pay wasn't good, but it got him enough for food, clothes, and tools so he could work and live in his home. With all this on his mind, he walked into the Acme City High school's principal's office.
"Ahh Jason come on in take a seat." The principal said as she addressed him and handed him an application for the school. "Now, I know you're in an unsteady position right now, but don't let that worry you, we'll provide you with materials until you can get yourself a more permanent and steady means of living. So just fill that out, and you can go to your classes." The principal said to the weirdly colored grey wolf. He was tall and lanky, and a summer of building a small ramshackle shack by himself, had built up his muscle mass leaving him with a few cuts and scrapes, and a well toned physique. His fur was grayish red, and he had stern grey eyes, that caught your gaze, and made you feel uneasy. He wasn't actually a bad kid; he just had some family issues, which led to his drinking at school, and eventually a fight that was started over his girlfriend, who had been hit by some guy who thought she was a whore for going out with a country boy. Overall, he was just another junior in high school that had his problems, and now he had even more to worry about, he had no family, and a minimum wage job that was just barely paying for his school tuition, and basic essentials.
He finished filling out the application handed it to the principal, and handed it to her, took his schedule from her quickly glancing at it, he walked out the door, put his headphones in his ears, and slung his gym bag backpack over his shoulder and sauntered down the hall to the foreign language wing of the school. He entered his Spanish 3 class with an air of uncertainty. Looking around the room, he saw an empty seat towards the far back wall and made his way there, he had to get past a few people, but being the good old country boy he was, he minded his manners and said excuse me when necessary, and always let the girls go before him. As he sat down, he looked to the other side of the classroom, and his eyes lit upon a young coyote, she had short athletic cut brown hair, and a deep tan coat. Her eyes were hazel brown, and he got so lost in her that he didn't even notice that the teacher was standing next to him asking his name till she started giggling at the fact that this one wolf was lost in her so totally that he couldn't even pay attention. "Huh ohh, sorry Ma'am. What did you ask me?"
"I said, 'What is your name son?" The Spanish teacher repeated, with a hint of impatience.
"Jason, My name is Jason." He replied steadily, he had been practicing this for weeks, and he knew what he was going to say before she even asked him.
"Jason… What, I need you to tell me your last name." The teacher asked, having only just got to school as well, she didn't get the email about this new student.
"Just Jason, I have no last name, check your inbox, I'm sure the principal will have sent you an email by now." The wolf said to her as she looked at him quizzically, and walked to her computer sat down and opened her email. She sat there for two to three minutes reading the email the principal had sent her regarding Jason, and his position.
"Ahh thank you Jason that will be all. Now according to the principal, you are living by yourself? Is that correct?" The teacher asked him as he smacked his paw to his face as he realized just how stubborn this teacher was in asking him were he lived, and all that stuff.
"Yes, I live on my own. You know what I might as well just finish this conversation before you ask anymore questions, I live three miles from town, in a small little shanty hut, I pump my own water, work for my food, and cut my own wood. I have no family; they kicked me out and disowned me. I have no relatives that live with me, and my address doesn't exist, because I am technically living in an unofficial house." Jason said rapping up his life story, or as much as he wanted to divulge to this group of people before he actually knew any of them. Looking back around the room, he caught the gaze of each of his classmates, in what he thought was a friendly gaze, but they all just turned away and started talking in hushed whispers, all except that on e coyote that he had seen when he first sat down, and had fallen for on sight. Instead, she got up, walked over to an empty seat next to him, and asked him what happened.
"So Jason, before anything else I'm Azura. Now that's out of the way, what happened to make your parents disown you?" Azura asked him naively, not realizing that he didn't trust people very easily, and that since he had been cooped up for so long, that he was just bursting with tales to tell, and no one he trusted to tell them to. Nonetheless, he told her that he would tell her after class, because he was afraid someone might be from his old school, and get him kicked out of here.
After class, Jason sat with his back to his new locker, up on the third floor of the school's main building, waiting for Azura to show up, but she never did. Just before the bell rang though, he saw another coyote that looked just like her, and mistaking her for Azura he called out her name. The other coyote stopped looked around and saw Jason walking towards her.
"Can I help you?" she asked innocently.
"Azura it's me Jason, you wanted to talk to me, and I said to meet me at my locker after class." Jason said not catching the hint that this coyote didn't know him.
"Ohh you must be that guy my sister was telling me about. Hi I'm her sister Lavender. Sorry about the mix up just now, we're identical twins, so a lot of people get us mixed up. Normally I have a bunch of wildflowers braided into my hair, but I haven't had time to pick any."
"Ohh, hey well, if you want, I got a bunch of wildflowers over by my house I'll bring some for you tomorrow if you meet me here again at the same time tomorrow." Jason said, trying his best to come across nicely and not sound too much like a loner.
"Sure, that would be great; I'll see you tomorrow morning. Meet me at the quad in the center of the school, my sister and I get to school early cause we don't like all the traffic that happens around 8:00."
"Ok I'll be there.
The next morning Jason got up at, what he guessed by the amount of light he had in his windows, around 4:30 in the morning. He opened his door, walked out to his little path he had blazed so he could go out and check his traps. The first trap was sprung, but it was also empty. The second had a small pheasant and the third and fourth were also empty. All in all it was a normal morning, pheasants were a pretty good catch for him so he took it back to his house, cleaned it, and fried it up on his make shift stove. The rest he set on sticks beside the fire, so they could dry out into jerky. "Well guess that's that. Might as well get ready." After cleaning up his table from his breakfast, he went outside, to his water pump, pumped two pales of water, and took a cold shower. After his shower, he did his hair, put on a black tee shirt, some camo cargo pants, and his trusty combat boots. At 6:oo, he left and jogged down to the corner of his path that led to town, and picked a bunch of wild flowers, put them into a damp cloth and continued jogging on down to the town and to his school. When he arrived, he stood alone in the quad for what seemed like forever, but was only really 10 minuets before Azura and Lavender showed up, and with them was a green eyed coyote, who introduced himself as Tech.
"Say Jason, you remind me of some guy that went to my old school, he wore almost the exact same clothes as you, last I heard of him, he knocked some guys lights out for talking' trash about his girl." Tech said, trying to make a casual conversation with the new kid not realizing that he was talking about Jason.
"Ya you probably would have, since you were the guy's friend who pulled me off of him before I turned into jelly. So ya sorry bout that." Jason said this and when he finished, he looked at the Tech's face and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Tech was flabbergasted. He didn't even know that this was the guy who hospitalized his friend, because his friend had decided to mess with the wrong kid on the wrong day.
"Sorry? SORRY? You put him in the hospital for Christ's sakes. I just surprised I haven't flipped out and started trying to kill you!" Tech screamed at him, getting right up in Jason's face and poking him in the chest to get his point across more forcefully. Jason on the other hand just stood there and when Tech poked him, he grabbed his hand pulled him forward and in a low growl he told him, "Don't ever criticize me for doing what's right got it! Your friend should know better than to have called her a whore and slapped her." Jason finished by roughly shoving the scared coyote off of him.
"Ok I got it." Tech replied sheepishly, because he knew his friend was wrong, but he knew his friend would get mad if he said anything to him. With the issue resolved for the time being, the four new friends shared some stories between themselves, especially Jason. He had been so alone for the longest time that he was just bursting with information. He told them almost everything, from childhood memories, to the present day. Keeping the more personal things out, mostly because he has trust issues (like me).
Jason's stories were extremely heart wrenching to Azura and Lavender, he had been burned so many times, and they were amazed that he could just tell people these things about him. Tech on the other hand was silent through out the whole thing. He had been burned before as well, but not as bad as Jason. Jason was something else to Tech, like inhuman. He had pretty much had his heart, mind and spirit ripped out and shattered, but he still held it together through all the pain in his life. NowonderJasonwasdrinkingatschoolthatonetime,andhenearlybeatmyfriendtodeath.Jasonhasbeeninsomuchpainthathejustfinallyexplodedwhenmyfriendpushedhimovertheedge. "Jason?" Tech asked tentatively, "Hey man, I'm sorry for what my friend did. It wasn't right, and I know you would probably want the apology to come from him, but me being his closest friend, and him kind of incapable of speaking, I hope you can accept it." Tech finished with a cracked voice, even though he was doing the right thing, he always knew his friend would never be the same after what Jason did to him, but Tech knew Jason was right, even if he scarred his friend for life.
"Thanks Tech." Jason said as he shook Tech's hand in a gesture of good will. He knew that Tech was never going to be the same after what he did to his friend, but he respected him for sticking up for his friend and not letting him take all the blame. Maybethisguyisn'tsobadafterall.
-Flash back to the Day of the fight-
Carmen came running up to Jason, eyes red and blood-shot, and her cheek had the distinct print of someone's hand. Jason didn't notice the crying though; he saw the big red hand mark and immediately asked Carmen who had hit her.
"That guy, over there." Carmen replied pointing in the direction of Tech and some of his friends. "Please Jason don't hurt them, I know they were only joking around." That was the typical Carmen, always believing that people were good on the inside, but what she didn't know was that when you hit someone, you're no longer joking around, you're serious. Jason looked at her for what would be the last time, and promised her that he wouldn't, "I'm just gonna talk to him, ok? I'll be right back." With that Jason strode forward purposefully, and full of hatred.
Jason had never intentionally meant to fight, he was just gonna chew the guy's ear off, but the guy's friends had other ideas. They decided to push him into Jason to see what the guy was going to do. Jason at the time was a no good redneck at that school so everyone picked on him, but he didn't mind, he could keep it together most days. Some times, he needed Carmen's help to keep him from going on a bloody rampage. Today though, Carmen wasn't there, and he was going to retaliate to anything the guy did to him with force.
When the guy pushed off of Jason, he didn't expect him to follow through with his shove. Jason lifted him off his feet with a solid right hook, quickly followed by a left knee to the gut. With each blow, he rained upon his stunned opponent; he accented it with a few choice words about how he should act around women. Eventually the other guy couldn't take it any more and tried to run, but Jason wasn't finished, all of his anger and the injustices done to him fueled his rage and he was pulled off by a Coyote named Tech, who managed to restrain before he killed the kid.
The principal came and the on campus officer cuffed him and brought him in, still seething with anger he stupidly head butted the cop and ran, luckily he got away long enough to get out of his cuffs, but after that he was gone. Two weeks later he was found at his girlfriends house, after he had found out that she dumped him and was taken off of her front porch, eyes bloodshot, physically, and emotionally spent.
-Present Day-
Jason was on the ground, his eyes were staring up into Azura's caring blue eyes, and he thought that he had died and gone to heaven, as he reached up to see if she was really there, she grabbed his hand making his stomach flutter, and pulled him up. "You Ok?" She asked concerned. "You kind of just fell over, and school started two hours ago, do you need to go the hospital?"
"Huh no. I'm ok. Thanks for making sure I was ok, not many people now a days do that for me." Jason replied sheepishly, hoping she wouldn't notice his ears turning cherry red, and his face starting to turn the same color as well. Looking down at his feet, he also hoped she hadn't noticed what was going on down there when she was standing over him when he came to, because she was wearing a low cut top and well, it was pretty revealing, and her shorts weren't helping his situation either.
"Well, ok let's go then, were already late and we have to check in at the office, so they know we weren't cutting class."
"Ok, let's go." Jason replied as they walked toward the office together. As they got close, Jason could have sworn he felt Azura's hand brush up against his, but he thought that he was doing it to her, so he kept a little more distance between them, but as they neared the door, he took the lead and opened it holding open for her. As she walked past, she gave him a quick peck on the cheek, with a "thank you" whispered under her breath as she walked past him into the office.
