AN: I want to apologize to all of you who read "No Fear" and realize that I haven't posted in a while. I've started going to school and I'm three weeks behind in the school year so I need to play catch up. Plus I don't get out of school until late in the afternoon so I'm really tired and not wanting to do anything except lay down. I'll try to post these chapters from time to time when I'm not writing a paper or doing an insane amount of homework. Thank you all for your patience and I hope you enjoy. Lastly, I do not own Total Drama in any way, shape, or form.

Chapter 10: The Jock

October 16th, 2012

12:00 P.M.

"Dawn, I heard that they're going to hang up your picture that you drew up on the wall in front of the Art room. That's great!" said Zoey.

"It is nice, I was very glad to see that they were able to resolve their problems and become sisters. Now if I could only help everyone, I'd be happy with that." I said to them.

"Well Dawn, it's good that you're helping people. I know you can't help everyone every day because that just be impossible, but just take it one at a time, don't try to do too much." said Mike. I heard a buzzing coming from my phone after Mike had said that.

"It's really good that you're being so helpful around the school to people. Now if only everybody could act like you, this school would be a much better place, without people like Jo, Scott, and Lightning." read B's text.

"Hey Dawn." said Joe. Joe had walked up behind Cameron when he had said that, which made Cameron jump upon looking behind him.

"Dawn! Who is that!?" said Cameron.

"Oh, everyone, this is Joe. Joe, this is everyone. That's Ella, Gwen, Mike, Zoey, B, and Cameron was the one who jumped." I told him.

"Hey guys, you must be Dawn's friends. She's told me a little bit about you guys. I'm glad to hear that she has such good friends to turn to." he said with sincerity in his voice.

"You're Dawn's boyfriend? It's so nice to finally meet you! We had no idea what you looked like, but it's great to finally meet you!" said Zoey. She quickly got up and gave him a hug, much to Joe's awkward reaction.

"Does…she do this a lot?" said Joe.

"Generally. Zoey means well though. It's a friendship kind of thing. But Joe, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about? I can tell from your aura that something is on your mind." I told him.

"Yeah, if it's alright with your friends and all."

"Oh why certainly, Dawn, you should go with your prince!" said Ella. I nodded and grabbed my stuff so that I could walk with Joe. We exited the lunchroom and took a seat right next to some lockers that were there.

"Joe, may I ask, why is it that you called me over from my friends? Something seems to be on your mind." I said to him.

"Well, Dawn, after hearing about what you did for the twins, I was wondering if you could help someone I'm pretty good friends with. He seems to mean well, and he's really into sports…Lightning bullies him a lot because, well..." said Joe.

"He's not too good at sports is he?"

"Not really. I mean he mean well, but he's not very good at them. He's been trying to impress this girl named Lindsay a lot, and she has been completely oblivious to him. He's been straining himself a lot in the weight room, trying to make himself bigger. It doesn't help when that idiot messes with Tyler a lot."

"I'd love to Joe. I'm glad that you came to me about this. I will see him after school. Where does he usually go after school?"

"He's usually in the weight room or on the football field. And, thanks Dawn, you never cease to amaze me. I'd help him myself, but I have work today at the Foot Locker. Thankfully, Lightning will be at there so he can't bother Tyler." said Joe.

"You're welcome Joe." I said to him. I gave him a kiss and went on my way to Animal Science.

Outside the weight room

3:00 P.M.

I slowly knocked on the door and walked in. I had never been in here, mainly because I really had no desire to use the weight room. There was only one person in there. He had brown hair and wore a headband around his head. He was also wearing a red tracksuit and what looked to be very expensive sneakers.

"Excuse me, are you Tyler by any chance?" I asked him as I started walking towards him.

"Oh you heard of me huh? Yeah, I bet it was from all those sporting events that I participate in." said Tyler. Reading his aura, he seemed to be very narcissistic and maybe almost oblivious to the fact that he wasn't very good at sports.

"No, I heard of you from my boyfriend Joe. He told me that you're trying to win the heart of someone you're crushing on. And also about Lightning." I told him. He was in shock after what I had said, so much shock that he accidentally let go of one of the dumbbells he was using and dropped it on his foot. I quickly ran to him and grabbed the dumbbell off of his foot.

"YEOWW! That hurt!" yelled Tyler.

"I would think so. Those dumbbells look pretty heavy." I said to him. He then started making his way towards one of the benches in the room. I took a seat right next to him.

"So what exactly is going on, may I ask?"

"Geez, where do I begin? Well as you know from Joe, I love sports. My dad can get me all of these endorsements from these big sports companies because my dad works in sports commentating and he's very famous. I want to do him proud by participating in every sport I can. Well, when I started doing football and track, Lightning was someone that everybody strived to beat. I was one of those many people who strived to beat him. We had a race and well…I tripped halfway through it and he made fun of me because of it. He likes to call me names like twinkletoes or butterfingers. Well, this year, there's this girl that I'm interested in. Her name is Lindsay and I can tell that she seems interested in me as well. The bad thing about it is that…she can't even remember my name. She calls me Noah, or Wyatt, or whatever name she can think of besides my own. I was thinking that maybe, in this upcoming track meet, I can finally beat Lightning in something. Then maybe, just maybe, Lindsay will remember who I am, and then I can ask her out." said Tyler.

"By the great Mother Earth, that was a bit much I must admit. But Tyler, your cause is just, and I'd be more than willing to help you with your situation. First. I must ask you this, why do you do sports besides to make your father proud? Is it because you want to impress Lindsay, or more so trying to beat Lightning." I asked him. He gave me a curious glance and then looked down to the ground.

"You know honestly, what motivates me to do these sports, is to beat Lightning."

"Maybe that shouldn't be the thing you should be striving to do. Beating Lightning is a good thing for your self-esteem, but maybe that isn't what you should've been striving for. Maybe you should've been striving to impress Lindsay and get her attention than trying to beat that bully."

"Hey, maybe you're right. Now that I think about it, all I really cared about for the past few years was beating Lightning in something, then maybe…just maybe, I could have something to rub in his face." said Tyler.

"You shouldn't be trying to stoop to his level. From what I can read of your aura Tyler, you are much better than that. Maybe with something else to race for instead of beating Lightning, you might actually succeed in both things you're trying to do."

"Hey thanks…umm, what's your name?"

"It's Dawn. Dawn Bouchard."

"Well thanks Dawn. You and Joe should come to my track meet on Saturday."

"I'll be sure to let Joe know. I'm pretty sure we will both be able to."

Outside of the School

4:00 P.M.

"Tyler told me about what you told him. I really hope that he takes your advice." said Joe as we started walking up to the stands around the football field.

"I believe that he did. From what I read of his aura on Tuesday, he seemed to have taken it." I said to him as we found some open seats. I could see Tyler, still in his red track suit, and Lightning who was wearing his normal clothes.

"I hope you're ready to lose, sha-loser." said Lightning.

"Whatever man." said Tyler, obviously not caring about Lightning.

"Sha-what? Didn't you hear me?"

"Yeah I heard you, and I really don't care." Tyler and Lightning then got ready for their race. Lightning was eyeing Tyler, whereas Tyler was simply focusing on the race and caught a glimpse of Lindsay. She looked at him like she knew what his name was, but couldn't remember what it was. The race then began. Lightning had gained an early lead, but Tyler was close in second.

"Come on Tyler, you can beat this loser!" yelled Joe. I only sat and watched at Tyler closely. I was really hoping that he was thinking about Lindsay more than beating Lightning.

"I hope you're ready to lose to me, AGAIN!" yelled Lightning to Tyler as they were about to finish. Tyler continued to look at Lindsay while he was running. Finally he said,

"THIS IS FOR YOU LINDSAY! MY…NAME…IS, he said as he gained the lead over Lightning, TYLER!" Tyler then crossed the finish line and won the race against Lightning.

"Sha-what!? This was just a fluke, this doesn't count. I wasn't racing at my full potential." said Lightning. Tyler began to walk away from Lightning and over to Lindsay.

"Hey Tyler." she said to him.

"I'm glad that you remember my name! I was wondering…if you wanted to go out?" he asked.

"I'd love that!" she exclaimed. Tyler then grabbed Lindsay by the hand and started to walk away from the track with her.

"I don't know how you did it Dawn, but you did." said Joe.

"I like helping people. When people need help, I try to help them as much as I can." I said. And with that Joe and I went to the café where we first had coffee at and spent the rest of the day with each other.

AN: Firstly, I want to say thank you everyone who reads this story. This is my favorite one to write and I always love hearing from you guys about what you guys think about it. I hope that this wasn't too boring or anticlimactic or anything like that. Next chapter will be Halloween and I have a very good idea of how I want that to go. Thank you everyone for reading, and don't forget to review!
