Chapter 7: Feeling Froggy…Leap
Hate this day, wish it was over. Want to fight something. Yeah to say that the normally quiet and laid back Adam was feeling angry was a good deduction. Meditation had taught him to keep his anger in check but not only was a church not the place for it; he seriously doubted it would help this.
Just like back in high school, he had his rare moments when the anger flew and he couldn't stop it. Hey nobody's perfect. That had been some day though.
FLASHBACK:
On top of fighting one of Zedd's irritating yet overly goofy monsters, Adam hadn't been sleeping well. He was worried about Kim possibly leaving the team. It would be a lot of stress on the team, mainly Tommy. Having a leader who couldn't concentrate was something they had never dealt with before. Adam would never tell Kim or Tommy his concerns. He wouldn't be the one to hold Kim back from having her dream.
Adam, Kate, and Aisha had discussed it briefly but agreed that it was better for all involved to keep it quiet.
He was shaken from his thoughts when he hit a set of lockers. "Hey look Jake; it's the really quiet weird kid that hangs out with Aisha, Kim, and Kate. Tell us, how are they under the covers?"
Adam's anger heightened quickly, it was one thing to deal with Bulk and Skull; but Travis and Jake took things to far every time.
"Those are three of my best friends, so I would appreciate it if you kept your mouths shut." He turned to leave and felt a hand grab his shirt.
"We're not done talking yet Park," Travis leaned against the locker next to him.
Adam sighed. All he wanted was to go home and sleep. "You didn't answer our question. It's ok, I have a better one. Who do you think would be better to kiss?"
"I suggest you stay away from all of them. I don't recommend pissing off Tommy."
"Oh that's right, Kim's boyfriend and Kate's best friend. Hmm…wonder what those three do together," Jake pushed Adam a little.
"Look, you both have two seconds to shut your mouths or I'm going to get pissed."
"If your feeling froggy…leap boy," Travis sneered at him.
Adam's fist flew free making a swift connection with Travis's jaw. A hand came down on Jake's shoulder shoving him into the lockers. "Now, how about we try this with evened odds?"
Tommy, Kim, Kate and Rocky stood as a united front behind the bullies. "What's this I hear that you're making vulgar remarks about my little sisters?" Rocky's fists clinched and unclenched at his sides.
"And my girlfriend? You both need to leave it alone. We don't take kindly to jackasses."
"Awe come on man, we were just having a little fun," Jake said glancing around nervously.
"If you want to have fun go to an amusement park. I suggest that you both keep your slander slinging traps closed. If I ever hear one word, just one, spoken that way I'll be all over you like wind in a hurricane," Tommy spoke in deadly calm voice.
The friends watched as Travis gulped visibly before walking away with Jake in tow.
"Wind in a hurricane? Nice one oh Mighty Falcon," Kate mock punched his shoulder.
Kim looked over at Adam, "Hey Frogman, you ok?"
"How did you guys get over here so quick?"
Kate started laughing. "Dude, Kim heard them two dim wits giving you a hard time. Me, Tommy, and Rocky where in the library working on a history report so she came and got us. By the way thank you, Kim told us what they were saying."
"I can't stand to hear guys speak about women that way, I sure wasn't going to them talk like that about you, Kim and 'Sha."
"But really? Kim, Tommy, and Kate?" Rocky remarked.
The three named shuttered at the thought. "That's not only scary it's wrong on soooo many levels," Kim stated adjusting her backpack.
Kate looked at Tommy, then at Kim. "Never going to happen." The friends burst out laughing and headed over to the Youth Center for some smoothies.
Adam and Tommy ended up getting suspended. Adam got three days for hitting a fellow student and Tommy got two days for making a threat.
Kim had told Principle Caplin what Travis and Jake had been saying about the girls; they had gotten a week suspension.
END FLASHBACK:
It had been worth it though. To see those two go down for talking that way about the girls. They had never done anything to deserve it. It was true, that Tommy, Kim, and Kate had a unique friendship. Some found it odd that Kim was ok with Tommy's best friend being a girl and for said girl to be really good friends with the 'girlfriend'. In reality there wasn't anything the three wouldn't do for each other.
Others could only hope to have a friendship that close. Adam counted himself damn lucky that he had a whole group of friends that were that close. The years of fighting by each others sides and just going through life together had bonded them together as close as any family. Perhaps even closer. From evil alien beings, to a psychotic dinosaur, broken trust to the heartbreak of 9/11 they had seen it all.
A/N: I enjoyed showing this different side of Adam. Even the most controlled people reach a breaking point and I defiantly think that he would have snapped when it came to the girls. Thank you to Xhex-Athame-Snape for your review and thank you to those who continue to read this story you all make my day!
