BETTER TOGETHER

Chapter 4

Hello Everybody! Sorry for being late with this chapter. I know I promised I would update weekly but yesterday I had a basketball match, so I give the continue of the story now. :D

Enjoy

"What are you going to do Lukas?" asked Cole in a worried tone. "Justin will kill you"

Loki smiled. "No, he won't. Trust me." He seemed confident, but Cole could see behind his mask. Loki was scared.

"Dude… No one would think less of you if you won't appear in the parking lot afternoon…"

"I know. Because I will appear. Someone should show this Justin guy that not everybody afraid of him."

Cole nodded and changed the subject. "What's your next lesson?"

"I have literature, Math, then Chemistry and lunch."

"Then we can meet at lunch. I have totally different lessons… So, try to make friends and survive. See you at lunch" said Cole as he left Loki.

Loki watched Cole disappear at the end of the corridor and then he went to the class where Literature is kept. He was surprised to see the girl, called Sidney, who he met in the shop.

"Hey" greeted Sydney cheerfully as she noticed Loki.

"Hey" said Loki, unsure. "What are you doing here?"

"Having a lesson? And you?"

"Same, I think"

"Great then we can sit together" said Sydney as she showed a seat to Loki next to hers. They sat down and a thin woman came in, closing the door and starting the lesson. Her name was Lisa Carter and she was the most enthusiastic woman Loki ever met. She spoke about the subject so happily that the students couldn't help, but paid attention. Loki decided that literature would become his favourite subject.

"What's your next stop?" asked Sydney as the lesson was over.

"Math… Yours?"

"Math too." Smiled Sydney. "Hey… How was your day yet? Have you made friends?"

"Maybe… A guy named Cole seems very nice."

"Cole? You met Cole?" asked Sydney with laughing. "He is my best friend. We have known each other since first grade! But we always talked about that we need a third fellow. You were sent by the fate, man!"

Loki laughed. "Well, thanks. It's a pleasure to be the third member of your…team." Said he finally.

"Oh, it's an honour to us." Joked Sydney as she tried to speak like Loki. "You speak like a lawyer or I don't know… a prince. How did you learn that?"

"Oh, you have no idea." Answered Loki mysteriously.

O

"Finally… My day was so booring. I missed you Lukas" greeted Cole as he reached them at lunch. "Oh, you met Sydney."

"Actually… we have met before, but never mind. Anyway, why was the day boring?" asked Sydney.

"I had Geography" said Cole sadly.

"Okay, then I understand." Answered Sydney as she patted Cole's back.

"But it doesn't matter since lunch is almost over and Lukas will have a fight soon"

"What?" asked Sydney. "What happened? What did you do? This is your first day!"

"It wasn't my fault, okay?" said Loki to end the subject.

"That's true. It was Justin's fault if we say so." Agreed Cole.

"You will have a fight with Justin?"

They continued arguing until lunchtime was over and Loki had to face Justin at the parking. So, the three 'fresh' friends started to walk toward the place, while Cole desperately tried to dissuade Loki.

When they reached the area, Justin has already been there with a little crowd who was interested in the fight.

"Hey, Skinny!" greeted Justin with an evil smile. "Are you prepared to have your ass kicked?"

The crowd laughed and most of them encouraged Justin. They even made bets.

"Two bucks for Justin" shouted a boy.

"I keep it" shouted another.

"Ten bucks for Lukas!" shouted a deep voice.

The crowd silenced and searched for the source of the voice. A tall, muscled and blond haired guy stepped to the crowd as he showed up the money.

"Thor?" Loki said finally, questioningly. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I bet for the winner, brother" answered Thor with a wink.

Loki stood, shocked.

"Okay. But here are some rules, skinny. Your big bro can't help, neither your little friends." Said Justin as he pointed to Cole and Sydney. "Get it?"

Loki nodded. He was a little bit nervous now. The fight seemed more important now, that they can lose money. Also, the crowd bothered Loki.

"Okay, let's start this" said Justin as he stepped closer to Loki and the crowd made a circle around them, taking the chance from Loki to escape.

O

Justin was great fighter, Loki acknowledged it. But despite the fact that Loki wasn't as strong as Justin, he moved much faster. The bigger boy kept throwing his fists toward Loki but he only a few times could hit Loki. Unfortunately Loki has already had a blackeye and some bruises.

"Listen. I don't want to hurt you. Maybe we could come to an agreement." Said Loki while he moved away from a punch of Justin.

"What are you? Crazy?" said Justin angrily. "I always win. You can't even hurt me, skinny."

Loki nodded and they continued the fight until Justin threw his fists slower and slower. He panted but then he collected his energy and jumped to catch Loki, but he easily avoided the boy and Justin landed on the ground. The crowd was in shock first, then some of them started to celebrate Loki and some of them started to give the money to Thor which they owed.

After a while, the crowd started to move away and only the brothers and the friends stayed. Then, Loki walked to Justin and held out a hand to help him up.

"Well played." Said Loki.

Justin looked up to face him and finally accepted his hand.

"Congrats, man" said Justin as he stood up.

Loki lifted up his eyebrow. "Man? What happened to 'Skinny'?"

"You deserve the new rank." Said Justin with a light smile.

Loki nodded. "Can I ask you something?"

Justin shrugged his shoulders.

"Why did you think I would take your place in the running team?"

"Because… I did with the guy before me. I was faster and got into the team, just like you did today. I thought…"

"I would do the same to you" finished Loki.

Justin nodded.

"I won't…" said Loki. "If you won't try to beat me up again"

Justin let himself a smile. "Deal" he said and then walked away.

O

That's all for now. I hope you liked it, if someone still reads my story. But where was Thor? What will happen to Justin? Will they become friends with Loki? I don't know yet.

Please review. I don't know if you are interested…

See you in one week!
