angel: so many plans. so little time to write
The next day, John walked into class to see that Meg's seat was empty.
"Where is meg?" John asked Eddie.
Eddie looked over at Meg's seat and smile at John; "some time, she doesn't show for school. She might show up sometime this month. It's you and me til then." Eddie returns to his book. John was lucky that he had all his classes with Meg and Eddie. Eddie pulled out his calculator to start math, when a few people from the popular group walked by and hit his calculator off the table.
"Fag." One of them laughed. Eddie went to pick up his calculator and someone threw Eddie's pencil across the room, his pencils flying. All the students laughed. Most of them did, others just watched. John got up to help Eddie.
"Look like Eddie has got a boyfriend." One of the boys kicked John. He went to kick again but John grabbed the foot and swung his leg to knock over the boy's balancing leg. The boy fell over. His friend went to his aid. Instead of just helping up their ring leader, they attacked John. John blocked their attacked. He grabbed one of their arms and bends it behind the attacker's back.
"Are we going to bother Eddie or his friends again?" John whispered into the bullies ear. The bully just growled til John almost made his arm go out of its socket.
"FINE! LET GO! WE'LL STOP!" John pushed him away.
"Let's keep it like that." John stepped forward quickly and popped his chest forward to show dominance, the bullies flinched and ran to their chairs. "You ok?" John held his hand out for Eddie. Eddie took the hand and has his belongs in the other.
"Thanks." Eddie pushed his glasses back onto his face and put his stuff on the desk.
"Hey anytime." John sat next to him.
"Where did you learn to fight like that?" Eddie asked with a wonderful smile. John looked around the room trying to think of an answer.
"My… dad sent me to army school once. I picked up a lot there. Those were just reflects." John lied a little, those were reflects but he has never been to any kind of school that would teach him to find.
Later when it lunch time, Eddie and John went to their table. Expect at their table was already a few other people.
"Hey, it's john." One of them called out.
"yeah?" John shrugged with his tray in his hands. "Heard you took on the rock." The same boy said.
"…who?" John asked.
"The kid you beat up first period….in maths." Eddie informed.
"Oh, that kid." John showed relief to understand.
"So you did take on the rock? The school's number 1, bully?" The crow mumbled with excitement.
"That guy? He can't even finish a fight. How the blood hell is he the school bully?" John asked. Everyone laughed and little. They all left for their lunch and slapped his back. John and Eddie sat at their table.
"Looks like, someone going for school superstar." Said a girl's voice. John turned to see Meg with her plate of food.
"Meg. I thought you weren't going to show." Eddie said. He slides his falling glass and returned to lunch. John followed Meg's movement.
"What can I say? I'm a bad ass. No one likes Maths." Meg popped her jacket and sat opposite of them. She put her boots in the centre of the pair. "You two got close, while I was gone." Meg snickered. "And you got fan club." Meg looked over to group of people that kept staring at them. Filled with boys and girls.
"What did you do?" Meg asked, her eyes flicked between them.
"John picked a fight with the rock and won." Eddie said as he continued to take small bites of his food.
"The rock?" Meg sat up and her eyes were open wide. John looked to see they were green but with blue tint to them. John also noticed that had ash blond hair that was died black. The root of her hair was its original colour.
"Yeah the rock. It was little ninja." Eddie smiled. Meg looked at John. Her eyes looked John.
"Dude, who are you?" Meg smiled. "I'm…just me." John jester to himself with smile. "Well, you are pretty cool." Meg smirked and ate her lunch. John felt a warm feeling inside of him when she smile at him. He thought she was still mad from the other day.
It was going towards last period.
"John, want to hang out at Eddie's." Meg asked as she pointed down the street. John thought for a while.
"I got to get to….home. My dad will be waiting for me." John asked pointing the opposite direction.
"Come on." Eddie said with a little please in his hazel eyes.
"Um, I'll leave him a text." John said. 'Dean did want me to hang out with kids more. He should be fine with it.' John thought as he left the text and walked with his friends. A minute late,r John got text saying it was fine with dean as long as he back by 6 and is ready for the job.
John never been to anyone house before. Eddie house looked little like his old house. John couldn't remember a lot but he remember that it was peaceful and normal. He remembers when he came through the door that his mum would be waiting and his dad behind her. Eddie opened the door. There was no mum on the other side. Just messy hall full of toys.
"Hey whose toys are these?" Eddie shouted. John was little shock to hear Eddie speak up. Suddenly a little head came out of the corner.
"Eddie is home!" the head shouted. A whole heard of kids ran to them. There was about 4 boys and 3 girls.
"Meg!" one of the little girl's squealed. All the girls ran over to Meg.
"Hey guys." Meg smile brightly. John looked at Meg for moment. He only knew meg for few days but she doesn't really smile. Her smile is scoff and roll of the eyes.
"Tea party!" One of the girl dragged Meg along.
"Again?" Meg mourned
The girls left leaving just the boys. "Mum around?" Eddie asked taking off his school bag.
"No. Out at the bars." The eldest out of the kids reported. Eddie nodded. John was little baffled. Eddie was usual so quiet, that you barely knew he was there. Here he is with siblings, out of his shell and giving orders.
"This is john. John, siblings." Eddie said as he made his way into the kitchen. John gave a little wave.
"OH. This is john!" One of them called out.
"Hey." John smiled.
John entertain the children with some stories. He said; it was myths, he learned in class.
"The monster had fangs the size of knifes. It came closer and closer. It claws scrubbed against the ground. It was drooling as it approached our hero." John held his hands out to look like claws. The children gripped tight to each other as he reacted the scene.
"Boring." Meg called out in a loud voice. She was in the middle. Her hands were behind her back and her legs were separate out.
"Boring?" John let his hands down.
"Yeah boring." Meg leaped up.
"That's cause you haven't heard the best part." John turned to the kids. They smiled.
"Cap' Randy." They called out. John was actual using Dean's adventures as the story. He gave Dean a fake name.
"Let me guess. Cap' Randy. Gets away and his lovely brother David as well. They both live happy ever after." Meg rolled her eyes. John put his hand over Meg's mouth. "
You might be surprised." John had his hand on the Meg's back. He forced her to sit down next to him. "The monster was from hell itself. Cap' Randy was pinned to the ground." John held Meg down and held onto her shoulder.
"Did Cap' Randy escape?" One of the kids shouted.
"The hound's master laughed. David watched. Cap' Randy… was taken by the hound. He was dragged to hell." John said and he pause.
"That's how it ends?" Meg raised an eye brow. "Now, that's complete-" John pulled Meg in and wrapped his arm around her neck. "Another story, for another day?" John finished and bopped her nose.
"Alright guys. Help me out." Eddie shouted. Three out of the four boys leaped up and rush over to the kitchen.
"What do you want to do now?" John asked the rest of the remaining children.
"I want to know what happened to Cap' Randy." Meg said, pulling john's arm off her.
"See you like it?" John smiled and put his hand onto the couch.
"I didn't say that." Meg said with eye roll and side smile.
"I know." One of the girls jump up. "Let's play princess!" She shouted. The two of the girls grabbed Meg.
"What did I say about princess games. No way in hell." Meg pulled back but the kids got a grip. John snickered in the background.
"You know she hates girly things right?" the last of the boys said to his little sister.
She laughed; "that's the point."
After a few moments. Meg came out with her piercings gone.
"Where are your piercings?" john asked as he got up.
"With the little ones. I barely made it out alive." Meg grabbed john's wrist, when she heard the two girls asking where she went. Meg went outside with john and closed the door. Meg sighed as she pressed her back to the wall. She allowed her legs to give in and fell against the wall. John sat next to her. Their shoulders touched.
"You don't look bad with less black and silver on your face." John commented. Meg turned to him with a glare.
"No one asked for your option." Meg said. It was silent for a while.
"What happened to Cap' Randy or his brother David?" Meg turned to john. John turned to face her.
"Cap' Randy…. I'm not too sure." John said.
"You're such a weirdo." Meg laughed, no giggled. She actual giggled. John almost commented on how girly she suddenly was. Meg laughed and led toward him slightly. John saw how close they were and he made a little meep. Meg looked up to him. She also noticed that she accidently came little too close. It was silence as they starred. No one moved.
It was becoming a little awkward. Meg wasn't smiling like a girl anymore. She pulled back and was little pissed how girly she suddenly became.
"It was stupid story, anyway." Meg huffed and looked away.
"Oh you liked it." John bumped her gentle with his shoulder.
"How long you and Eddie been friends?" John asked.
"Since we were kids. He has always been there for me. I was the first to notice that he wasn't into girls when we reached high school. He used to be so open to life, til his dad moved away because of that fact. His mother became a heavy drinker. All the partner roles just fell on him." Meg said. She turned back to John.
John rolled over to his side and Meg. Their shoulders against eh wall with their head to the side. They were facing each other as they spoke.
"That sucks." John said.
"Yeah it does." Meg sighed. "What's your sob story?" Meg asked.
"My mum died in fire and me and my…. Dad have been traveling around because of his job." John said.
"Cool."
"And your's is?" Meg gave an air laugh.
"Been bullied since I could walk. I'm only child. Mum and dad are always too busy to notice or care." Meg sighed.
"You get bullied? Who the heck would try anything with you?" John moved his hand back for his balance.
"I know, I'm teddy bear. But everyone always picks on the ugly Goth" Meg croaked a little.
"You are definably not ugly. You're not a Goth. You're, just different." John smiled and looked at the green with blue tinted eyes.
"Like, different is good." Meg scoffed.
"Different is great." John noticed an eye lash on Meg's cheek. He put his thumb and stroked it off.
"Does that line work on all the girls?" Meg said, with little smirk.
"You… tell me" john looked down at Meg's lips. They were pink and not black. He gentle cupped her jaw bringing her slightly closer. He shut his eyes. Meg did the same.
A car horn tooted. John opened his eyes and saw how close he was. His lips almost were touching meg's. Meg pulled back.
John pulled back; "I-I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me."
"Weirdo." She said and turned away her red face. John got up to see black impala.
"It's my dad." John waved and ran inside to get his bag. Meg followed behind.
"What are you going to get grounded or something. It's 6." Meg said. John pulled his bag over his shoulder. John saw she was still little pink.
"Yeah but….have you been kissed before Meg?" John said, little embarrassed.
"Sh-shut up." Meg looked away. John couldn't help but tease her. He also liked the red in her check. John likes her. He doesn't why or how, but he does. John used his free hand to cup her cheek as he placed his lips on the other cheek.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Meg." John smiled, also red.
