___________________________________________________________________________
Royce stared in disbelief at his Semester Report. His brown eyes widening in surprise. At least it was better than last year. Last year he had gotten a D in math, an F in Woodshop, English, and Biology. And a C Geography.
He smiled and put it neatly in his backpack, he walked to his locker and opened it with a kick. He looked into the mirror of the girl next to him, and saw his Brown eyes, and brown hair.
Royce looked away and put his all his homework on the top of his locker and closed it.
He had forgotten his jacket.
"Yo! Royce, what's the good word man!!"
Royce recognized that voice; it was his best friend, Anthony.
He kicked his locker again and it popped open.
He grabbed his leather jacket from the inside, and turned to find a big grin right in front of him.
"Hay, you gonna go shoot some pool, or are you gonna go to practice?" Anthony asked
"Nah, I'm going to practice or Coach Randal is gonna have a cow."
"Yeah see ya later, bro!!"
Royce ran down the hall to the outside alley.
He cut across a weed-filled field, (Ooh… Compound Adjectives…sorry, my English teacher is making us review on that for eleven times in eleven years. =), And ran to baseball field.
When he approached there was no one there, and he could see why.
This was the West Field; they usually had practice in East Field, across the school and the big 'lawn' that surrounded his High school.
He sighed and ran back to his short cut alley way and saw the new girl surrounded by guys. She looked kinda uncomfortable, but she held her ground.
Mia, he had heard her name was, she was in his Social Studies and Biology classes.
She was brilliant in his opinion.
She saw him and sent him a pleading look.
He stepped forward, "Hey guys why don't you let us talk I have to ask her something."
"And if we don't, see she wants to talk to us, right hon?"
"No"
"See she said yes."
Royce glance at her saw anger bubbling up in her bright green eyes.
Her light brown hair shone as if emitting some aura of strength.
"Hey are you deaf? Or can't you understand the word 'no'?"
Royce held his breath ready to jump in if they pushed her more.
"Excuse me? Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Yeah'
"And who's that?"
"A pathetic asshole."
She said that and pushed past the in Royce's direction, and smiled.
"Oh, man you owe me, you know, you're-"
"She looked over her shoulder and, yelled, "Hey, why don't you just do humanity a favor and just shut the hell up?"
Royce grinned.
She smiled at him and whispered "Thanks"
He glanced at the boys for a moment, but ran back to her.
She was walking across the field, toward the block with one of the big houses.
"I didn't know a girl knew that kind of language."
She turned around and started walking back wards
"There are exceptions you know"
"Yeah well, I have to go or the coach is gonna have a cow."
"I'll go with you then"
She stopped and let him catch up with her.
She grinned and started running to the alley and she disappeared behind it.
He followed knowing that she was going back to the alley with those guys. He kept running faster and she was standing there waiting for him around the corner.
The guys with their backs to them.
She looked at them and said, "Run as fast as you can."
She turned around and started running in the middle of the alley.
He followed catching up to her easily. They ran past them laughing, after they ran to end and saw Royce's field they could still hear them yelling, "Hey whadaya think you're doin'?"
She laughed even more at that.
"Royce Stock!"
Royce recognized his coach's voice. And he could tell he wasn't happy.
Royce took a deep breath, turned around to face his coach, "Stock! One more tardy and you're off the team, no exceptions! Now get over there and take your place."
Mia stood behind him and followed him, she ran to the bleachers and watched.
Royce ran as fast as he could, he watched the ball as it sailed for home.
Slide!! His mind thought
No, he kept running, almost there, he saw the ball as if in slow motion, he stopped and slid toward home.
A split second later, the ball was caught.
"Safe!"
The team clapped, but Royce looked at the bleachers and saw Mia clapping along.
~@~@~@~@
"Royce you're up!"
Royce walked up to the plate took the bat and started to take position.
The pitcher, Raul, waited and pitched when he saw that Royce was ready.
Royce saw the ball flying his way, it was a speedball.
He loved hitting a speedball, with his eyes on the ball he saw it come nearer, his muscles contracted and he swung.
Thwock!
The ball flew high and Royce powered his legs and ran, to fist base.
"HOME RUN!!!!"
Royce grinned, he kept running.'
Past first…
Second…
Third…
Home.
He glanced to the bleachers and saw her with a big grin on her face.
He smiled and he heard the Coach yell that practice was over.
"Stock! I wanna see you in my office!"
Royce looked in the coach's direction with surprise.
He walked to the school and got in the locker room, took a shower, and came out, changed, and jogged to the coach's office.
"You were good today, Stock. Who was that girl on the bleachers?"
"Er… her name's Mia Sanderson."
"Who is she?"
"A friend."
"Hmmm…Look Royce you're our best player, and I don't want her making you loose your focus."
Royce opened his mouth to speak but the Coach cut him of.
"Listen, would you like to be the leader?"
"What? I mean not really. "
"Really why is that?"
"Because I don't feel comfortable telling people what to do."
"Yes but there is more to coaching than telling players what to do."
"Oh"
"You train them to become better athletes, raise their potential, their strength. Their focus on the game. You Show them how to be the best," At this point coach had stood up and started pacing, "You show them how to be the best player, and you show them, how to make our team win, you show them, to teach their opposing team that we are better than they are. "
He glanced at Royce's direction who had started walking backwards and has a look of… Confusion on his face.
"But if you don't want this, it's all right."
"Ok, can I go now?"
"Yes go, learn something."
Royce walked out feeling weird, he had never seen the coach sop emotional before, usually he was a badass man with no feelings.
He saw Mia walking down the hall, holding her blue leather jacket.
Royce stopped and studied her more.
She had light brown hair that had neon green streaks, big green eyes, a small waist long slender legs and slim arms.
He started walking when she rounded around the corner of the hall.
"Let me go!"
He heard her yell and he ran faster, rounded the corner and saw the guys in the alley holding her to the wall.
"So, we meet again."
"Meet again, my ass, you were waiting for me."
"NOBODY! Talks to me that way you weak slut."
Mia tensed up and pushed forward with an angry cry.
Royce jumped in and stood in front of the leader.
"Leave her alone you-"
"Problems?"
Royce's head snapped to the left and he saw Coach standing there.
"No problem? Then I suggest you all go home."
The gang of guys left but the leader threw Royce and I'll-get-you look.
"Thanks Coach."
"You're welcome, I remember those people they got suspended for beating up a kid, until he was paralyzed."
"That's terrible" Mia exclaimed
"Yes, I know, all the teachers have been watching out for them, since they returned to the town a few days ago. They've been hanging around the school now."
With that the coach turned and left back to the office.
Mia looked at Royce and raised an eyebrow, "We're in trouble."
%$#$@$%#$%$%##!@##$#$#@$#!
Mia was right, for the last week Royce had been finding little 'things' on his stuff.
For two weeks Royce had to put up with whatever those guys left for him.
When he opened his locker a bucket of eggs spilled out on the floor and ruined his locker, which was the day after the coach had saved them.
The next day Royce walked up to the school steps when a huge snowball was thrown at him. On the same day, at the last hour when he was to meet Mia at the movie he opened his locker and sewer water trickled out f his backpack, when he picked it up the whole thing split open and spilled sewer water down his front.
The next day he found his gym locker completely trashes and his baseball clothes ripped to shreds.
He told the coach but before he could speak he handed him a new uniform.
The next day his window was covered with stale yogurt, and something else. He had to sneak out and wash his window with the hose so that his parents wouldn't notice.
At school his locker had been filled with stale yogurt as well.
His gym locker was trashed to but he had taken his uniform home- just in case.
Mia understood, but she was getting angry with the guys.
She wanted to file a lawsuit but Royce stopped her.
Finally all of this stopped, and Royce relaxed, just a little bit.
He had a point.
When Mia was getting on her Vincent Black Shadow (motorcycle) they attacked her but Royce stopped them.
*******Flashback/Memory*********
Royce was running trying to find Mia but he couldn't find her. He walked back to the classroom he had come from, he saw her walking toward her Vincent, but from her angle she couldn't see, the guys that were sitting behind a bush glaring at her.
From his angle he could.
He ran outside dodging a few janitors and he ran and saw them crowding around her.
The leader stepped forward and pushed her to the ground.
She stumbled backward and Royce shouted, "Mia! "
One of the guys dived for Royce but he pushed him away.
He glanced at Mia and was horrified at what he saw.
It was the leader; he was on top of her, holding her mouth closed his hand moving over private spots. Mia frantically tried to push him away but he was stronger.
Taking advantage to his distraction, the gang surrounded him and one of them threw a punch and caught Royce on the cheek.
He stumble backwards but his eyes focusing he dived in punching everything in his sight.
Hr broke free of the circle and ran toward Mia.
He bent down grabbed the leaders shoulders, pulled him off her and threw a few punches at his face.
Mia then nailed him in the stomach while Royce took care of the rest. Getting punched at in the process.
When Royce was finished, he was hurt badly but he didn't show it, he limped to Mia where she was standing over the leader.
She crouched and grabbed his hair, and snarled, "Who are you?"
"Mike Randall" he said between gasps.
Mia let go of his hair and she looked at Royce.
"C'mon, I'll take you to my house."
Royce obliged gratefully, he limped to her Black Shadow and climbed on.
She handed him a helmet, and started the bike.
She took a sharp swerve that got Royce heart thumping and they headed to her house.
They hit a few bumps and then she stopped at a three-story brick house, with white shutters and blue windows.
She helped Royce of her bike, and walked him up the steps.
At the door she stopped and dug into the back pocket of her jeans, then her normal pocket and pulled out a her house keys.
She slid it into the lock twisted it and opened the door slowly.
She slid in and told him to slide in slowly.
He did so and his dropped.
Cats. Surrounding him and cats sleeping on the furniture. He also saw that the whole first floor was the living room. Except that in the middle there was a circular staircase, and he could see lots of doors on the second floor. Mia walked on her tiptoes, trying not to make noise on the blue carpet.
Royce followed but he slid and then she reached the staircase but she skipped the first step.
Royce didn't
When his foot touched the first stair, music was heard from the back wall of the living room and at least twenty-four cats woke up.
"Oh man!" Mia yelled, "Hurry! Run! Quickly!!"
She flew up the staircase with Royce following. He looked back down and saw all the cats running up the stairs. Royce tripped on the last stair, but Mia, literally dragged him up a grin and she ran down the hall opened the door held it open just five inches and twenty four cats ran into the room.
"OH MY GOD!"
Royce stared open mouthed at her room.
It was covered in newspaper clippings and pictures from magazines and a few posters from her favorite singer.
Elvis Presley.
"C'mon the bathroom's right here."
She lad him over to a hidden door and she opened it.
"Oh my GOD!"
Her bathroom had more pictures of magazines, laminated of course.
"I had to laminate them, because they kept curling up."
She le over t a small chair next to the sink.
She reached into the cabinet above the sink and pulled out rubbing alcohol, some small Kleenex, some cotton balls, and q-tips.
She put her under his chin and leaned his face toward her, she took a cotton ball and pressed it against the top of the bottle, swiftly turned it upside down and right again.
Leaving a spot of the cotton ball wet with alcohol.
Mia rubbed the cotton ball, around his cuts, which wasn't more than five, and then repeated the process with Kleenex.
She leaned close and studied a small cut on his forehead.
"Hmm, a little more time and that would be infected and-"
Royce had leaned forwards and caught her lips.
He gave her a small kiss, and she kneeled down so she was level with his face.
Royce pulled away, and saw the slight look of disappointment.
She blushed and stood up, and continued with cleaning up his face.
*********End of Flashback/memory********
Royce pulled his pulled his gym locker door open and pulled out his uniform, for he had a game tonight.
Mia was going to be there.
He finished and walked to the baseball racks. He pulled out his favorite. The silver mahogany, Arrow.
He did a couple of practiced swings and then walked outside to benches and sat on it.
He glanced back and saw Mia there, she smiled at him and he smiled back.
He turned away, and glanced at the other team.
The Ice Warriors.
"Hey man, how ya doin?"
Royce turned and found Anthony.
"I'm fine"
"Yah, remember man, keep your focus."
"Uh huh."
The music blared out and all the players were introduced, than their opposing team was introduced.
"Batter up!"
Royce stood up and walked to the plate, took a couple of swings and glared at the pitcher.
The pitcher pitched a speedball.
Royce kept his eye on the ball.
It came nearer…
And nearer…
Royce swung!
Thwock!
The ball sailed past shortstop and he ran like the hounds of Hades were after him.
He hit his first home run before the team knew what happened.
"Safe!"
The team scored five home runs and they were in the lead by ten points.
"Three outs!!"
!@#@##@#!#######$!#!@#!#@#
The team ran in yelling and screaming with victory.
"YEAH!!! FIVE TIMES THIS SEASON!! "
And then Royce came jogging in.
"Hey, People! I introduce you our King."
One guy said holding Royce's hand up.
Royce grinned and then said, "Yeah, c'mon guys, whose gonna host the party?"
"At my house!!" Hollered Anthony!
"All right man, we'll see ya there," Royce said.
Royce changed into his clothes, and walked out with the guys yelling at each other. He held the bat, but it didn't fit in his locker so he decided to take it with him.
"Hey," Mia's voice said.
Royce turned around, and she gave him big kiss on the lips.
When they pulled away they heard, "HEY RMEMBER BRING YOUR OWN CONDOMS!!"
Mia started laughing.
"So, where's the victory party at?"
"Anthony's house, but he's getting us there."
"Oh really?" She said leaning against his body.
He looked down at her, and said, "Let's go"
They heard whistles as they walked away.
Royce's hand slid down her back, and squeezed her butt.
She giggled as they neared her bike.
Mia got on followed by Royce, he placed the bat on his lap.
She didn't wear her helmet so he didn't either. She sped away from there in the direction of Anthony's house.
She stopped at the front and a few cars parked behind her, packed with teenager with beer tanks and bottles.
They ran up to Anthony's door. And opened it, they all ran inside, and then music blared out.
Mia walked up the steps, and into the house. Royce took the bat with him and followed her to the living room to have a beer.
A few more cars screeched and parked in front of her bike and a girls with hardly anything but a skirt and a top that looked like it was ten times too small.
They came in and settle with the first guy they set eyes upon.
"Party, my fellow team mates," Anthony said, "Because the coach said we might make it to Championships this year!"
Anthony spotted Royce and Mia going into one of the bedrooms, he said, "And now our favorite star player is going to have some nice fun with his girlfriend. Have fun man, tell me all about it after you're done!!" He said when Royce and Mia looked his way, and then they disappeared into the room.
!@#!@$#@#$#@$#@
By the time, Mia and Royce came out there were naked girls all over the place with guys doing god know what to them.
There where beer bottles all over the place and popcorn, chips, some more beer cans.
"C'mon, lest go home."
"Yeah," Royce said.
Mia walked out where some more beer bottles lay on the lawn.
"Talk about party…"
They got on her bike and Royce picked up his bat which was lying on the round.
Mia started it and they were zooming along the roads.
VROOM!!
Six more bike surrounded them at all sides.
Mia glanced at all direction but found no way.
She glanced to her right and she screamed.
It was the leader of the Mike.
Mike brought his bike closer, and Royce tightened hiss grip on the handle of the bet.
He reached out and grabbed Mia around they waist, and pulled her off, Royce tried to grab on to her but she was all ready on Mikes bike.
"Duck!!" He yelled at Mia.
She brought her head down and with one hand started hitting mike with the bat.
"Oh!" Royce's bike swung out of control and it crashed against Mike's.
Mia was thrown off, and she saw, with tearstained eyes, she saw Royce and mike crash against the train.
"ROYCE!!!"
^#@$%
Royce and Mike were throwing punches at each other with one arm. They didn't see the train.
He grabbed the bat again and swung as hard as he could.
"Yaah!!!!!!"
"ROYCE!!"
He felt the heat and the hardness of the metal and the force that killed him..
His right side was completely skinned.
The train screeched to a halt.
Blood.
There was blood all over the front of the train.
Through Royce's eyes, he saw his body fall off, and he saw himself.
Bloody and torn.
He walked up to the train managers.
He swung the bat once and it hit him full in the face.
Royce was yelling and hitting the train.
He heard someone's sobs and he stopped.
He turned and saw Mia kneeling over his mangled body. He kneeled right in front of her. The bat was in his hand. He started yelling again. But in his mind he was trying to say the words.
"I love you."
With anger he swung the bat, and hit her in the side of the head.
He heard the sirens, and he saw the rest of the gang. He ran up to them and swung his bat.
He swung so hard that most of them died.
The hospital men were taking Mia and his body, to the hospital.
He swung his bat and caught one of them on top of the head.
!@#!#!@#@!#!#$$#!%!$%$^$!#%^$%^$%!#$%!@#$@#!@#@#$@#$$$$$#@!@#$#@%!^%&@$^%@#
He heard them.
His bat was ready, his anger was ready.
He started taking imaginary breaths.
And he saw them. People dresses in plastic coats.
They were setting up some speakers.
A van came rolling in.
The door slid open and guy stumble forward, "Great, we're here."
An older man stepped down.
"Quiet! Now where is he?"
The younger one bent down and touched the ground.
"Ahh!"
He spasms and he stood up immediately.
"Cyrus! He-"
"Where is he Dennis!"
Dennis turned around and pointed in his direction and he put on some glasses.
A big glass cube was lowered.
Then Royce heard it.
The Chanting Latin.
His legs involuntarily walked forward.
His hands gripped the bat more, and the were people who got out of the way.
He swung the bat and caught one of them, on the side.
"Yaahhh!!!!!!!"
He started yelling and swinging.
He stepped into the cube and he expected to go through but he couldn't
He turned around, but he saw the glass.
It had markings on them.
He swung the bat expecting it to shatter, but he was hauled into the back of a truck and was taken to a glass house with the same markings.
He was hauled in, and was placed nest to a woman, with something through her neck.
A person with no legs. A kid that turned to him and said, "Wanna play?"
!@!#@$#####@$!##%$%!@#$#@$!#@$#@$#$@#$#!@##$$@#!$#@$#@$#!@$!#@$$!$@$$@#$
Sorry for not updating in so long, but I had to go to the hospital to get my tummy pumped. See I have discovered that I have a severe allergy to red, and white meat.
No more burgers for me, oh well, so how was this chapter? I thought that it wasn't scary compared to my other ones. But I had to struggle to get the story out.
BYE!! *mutters "Lucky people and its allergy to meat…."*
