James Diamond. Everyone knew who he was... and everyone who knew him, knew not to mess with him. James Diamond practically ruled the school, and everyone was absolutely terrified of him. You were a complete moron if you thought that you could win a fight against him. You were also a moron if you thought that you could last more than a week dating him... or the guys in his gang. Indeed, James Diamond was a feared gang leader. His gang was one of the most feared in all of California. If you knew what was best for you, you absolutely did not mess with them.
If you made a deal or a promise for them, you made damn sure that it got done. If you didn't you either ended up bloody and bruised or dead, and left to rot in the alley way. James had 4 main friends at school, who were of course also a part of the gang.
Kendall Knight. Tall, stronger than he looks, and extremely hard headed and stubborn. He had longer dirty blonde hair that rested just above his slightly bushy eyebrows. He had the personality of a leader, therefore he was great at coming up with plans. Most plans of attack started with him.
Logan Mitchell. He wasn't tall, but he wasn't short either. Logan stood at about 5'11. You may think that since he is in a gang he must be pretty stupid. You my friend are completely wrong. Logan was the brains behind the whole operation. He was more than capable of outsmarting anyone taking all A.P classes. He was a genius. His short spiked up hair was a dark brown, so dark that it appeared black. His signature crooked smile is w2hat made all the girls practically bow down before him. He could have them wrapped around his finger in less than a minute.
Carlos Garcia. Kind of short, standing at around 5'7, 5'8. But never judge a book by its cover, Carlos was super energetic and hyper. He was extremely unpredictable, and he definitely knew how to fight. His tanned Latino skin and short black hair made him irresistible. His hair was always spiked into a tiny faux hawk. Of all of the guys, Carlos was the most likely to date a girl longer than a week, but not much longer. Together James, Kendall, Logan, and Carlos made up an amazing team. They were able to have someone killed just by a single phone call. Everyone in school did whatever they asked, whenever they asked for it.
THURSDAY
JAMES P.O.V
I woke up that morning to see a figure standing over me with a smirk on there face. "Hey shit head! Get up, you've got school." Abby said, before leaving the room and closing the door.
"Fuck." I said to no one in particular. I was dreading having to listen to teachers bitch and complain about how I was a disgrace and a disappointment all day. I groaned and stood up, walking to the bathroom attached to my room. I quickly took a shower and got dressed, before making my way downstairs for breakfast.
Kendall, Logan, and Abby were eating there breakfast peacefully. Suddenly we all heard moaning coming from upstairs. I chuckled and shook my head, "Carlos and Kim at it again?" I said questioningly. Abby nodded her head before speaking, "Yeah, I sent her upstairs to bed after she walked in here at 6am completely wasted." Kendall chuckled and replied, "She always goes straight to Carlos whenever she drunk and horny." I burst out laughing at his statement. "Yeah, lets just pretend that you don't go straight to Abby when your drunk and horny." I said before I continued laughing, Logan soon joining in. "Just leave Carlos here today guys." Abby said shaking her head. I nodded and picked up my car keys. Kendall and Logan followed me and got into there own cars.
Once I pulled into a parking spot and got out of my car I stood leaned up against my car. Kendall and Logan finally pulled up in there cars and they got out. We walked across the parking lot and into the school. We didn't even have to push anyone out of our way, they knew to back off and let us threw.
We walked over to our lockers, which were of course next to each other. There was only one locker next to mine, I think it was some girl, a total nerd I'm pretty sure. "Yo, James, we got some chicks that we've been workin' on. They should crack and let us in there pants any day now. We will see you at lunch Alright?" Logan said. I nodded and they left, ready to catch up to there chicks. I Grabbed my notebook and started to make my slammed my locker shut. Suddenly the bell rang, and just as I turned around to walk to class I slammed into a girl, her locker was next to mine. I growled at her, "Watch it." I said annoyed. She looked as if she was about to cry, she was shaking as she sat there on the ground trying to pick up her things.
I didn't know why, but I kind of felt bad for her in a way. I had seen her before around school and she didn't seem to have any friends. She was always all alone. She finished getting her stuff from her locker as, I walked towards my homeroom...Science. Carlos was my lab partner as well, I guess I was flyin' solo today.
I walked in, late, as usual which earned me a look of disappointment from the teacher. "James, I am sick and tired of you coming into my class late. Please go to the principal's office." He said. I groaned and turned right back around only to run into that same girl again. "S-s-sorry." She said quietly. I just sighed and walked past her and to the office. Once I got there, the secretary simply looked at me and sighed, "What was it this time James?" she said. "Hi Pam, and I'm here because my teacher is sick and tired of me being late and a bitter disappointment." I said bluntly, before sitting on the bench outside the office. Pam just sighed and shook her head, "Alright, well stay here until lunch while I get your homework from your teachers, then just go home for today." She said. I nodded and just sat there the whole class. Once recess, was over I was still sitting there, and getting extremely bored. I sighed and suddenly noticed that nerdy girl walk up the office all bloody and bruised, as she was clutching her stomach. My face fell, what the fuck happened to her? She was crying and I felt kind of bad. I stood up and stared at her in slight concern. She walked into the office and greeted Pam. "OMG, Melody are you alright?" Pam asked in concern. She shook her head through her tears, "I gotta go home, Pam. I need to go to the doctor." She cried. Pam nodded and went to called an ambulance but I hung up the phone. "I'll take her." I said. Pam looked at me as if I had a third head, and Melody looked at me in complete fear almost. "I mean, I have to leave anyway right? I don't mind giving her a ride. I'll take care of her for the day, I got nothing better to do." I said. Pam nodded and smiled. "Thats very nice of you James, hopefully you will finally start to straighten up." Pam said. I smiled and waved goodbye to her as Melody started to leave with me. She continued to cry in pain, I sighed and noticed how she was having trouble walking. I could tell that she was trying to stop crying. "Im sorry I'm crying so much." She said, before she fell to her knees, un able to support herself anymore. "Owwww..." she cried out. I sighed and bent down to pick her up. She flinched and backed away, "I'm not going to hurt you Melody." I said softly. She still tried to stop crying. I don't want to cry! Crying is weak!" she said through her tears. I them sat down in the middle of the hallway with her. I pulled her into my lap cautiously, I did my best to comfort her. Then I stood up and picked her up bridal style, "Listen Melody, People cry. But, it's not because they're weak. It's because they have been strong for too long." I whispered into her ear as she held her arms tightly around me as I carried her to my car. I laid her down in the backseat of my car and covered her with a blanket that was in there. She immediately cuddled herself into it and started to calm down a little bit. I got in the car and left the school, eager to get her to the hospital.
Once we finally got to the hospital I parked the car and got out. I opened her door and picked her up bridal style once again. I carried her inside. "Oh my goodness what happened to her!" a nurse asked. "I don't know. I got in trouble and they were sending me home for the day, she walked up to the office like this, she was going to leave by herself. I offered to take her since I was leaving anyway." I explained. She nodded and a doctor came out and instructed me to follow him. He brought me into a room and I placed her on the bed carefully. "Only family or loved ones are a loud in here with her. How do you know her?" He asked me. I looked at her and she looked at me as if she was silently pleading for me not to leave. "She's...uhhhhh...she's my g-girlfriend, yeah she's my girlfriend." I lied, smiling. The doctor looked a little unsure, but just shook it off and continued to bandage her up. I grabbed her hand, just to make it all look real. Once the doctor was finished I thanked him and helped her up. I leaned down and kissed the side of her head, mean while I leaned in and whispered into her ear. "Grab my hand and just play along, alright?" She nodded and grabbed a hold of my hands. "OMG, I`m so glad you`re okay, babe!" I said pulling her close and kissing all over her face. I could tell she was blushing a little, but she still played along. She held my hand as we walked out of the hospital. Once we got outside, she let go of my hand and continued to walk with me. "Th-thank you, for helping me today." She said quietly, almost in a whisper, and shyly. "No, worries. By the way, What happened. I mean, who did this to you?" I asked, a little bit concerned. "O-Oh ummm, just some of the football players, it's no big deal. It's not like I'm not used to it. It happens everyday... sometimes more than once." She said, letting a few tears fall from her eyes as she stared at the ground.
As soon as I found out how this had all happened, I felt anger flood through my whole body. What the fuck is wrong with them! Who would do that to such an innocent person. Wow. What the fuck is wrong with me? Since when do I care this much about her?
Oh who am I kidding! Let's face it she isn't really my type but she had a banging body, and she wasn't ugly what so ever. I'm finding myself more and more attracted every second.
"J-James? As a thank you...can I make you dinner?" she asked me shyly. I smiled and thought for a minute. She doesn't have any friends, so she must be really lonely. Maybe I could hang out with her a couple of times. Maybe then people would lay off of her, knowing that she hangs out with me they should be afraid. I nodded and wrapped my arms around her shoulder as we walked to the car. She was blushing, I could tell. It was so adorable though. We stopped at my car and she got into the passenger seat as I got into the driver's seat. "How about I take you home, so you can change then we can go to my place and we can make dinner there?" I suggested politely. She thought for a second then nodded her head.
