Chapter 4:Suspension and Preparations

Jimmy threw Spinner onto the table and punched him in the face. Spinner pushed him away and took Jimmy to the ground. They wrestled until Jimmy felt someone grab him. It was Jay attempting to help Spinner. Craig saw this and got through the crowd of people and threw Jay off of his friend. Jimmy turned his attention back to Spinner who was getting up from the ground. He ran over to him and got another punch in.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jimmy, Craig, Spinner, and Jay all took a seat in Mr. Radditch's office; the chairs separated. Radditch took a long hard look at the four boys. They kept their eyes on each other, waiting for one of them to make a move. Jimmy could see that Spinner was bleeding. He was elated at the sight.

"So is anyone going to explain to me what happened?" The room was still silent. "Ok, if that's the way you guys want to be, I'll just go by what the coaches told me. I'm giving you all 10 days suspension." Everyone moaned except for Jay, who was not surprised.

"So can we leave now?" Jay asked.

"Not until I call all of your parents." They moaned again. Jimmy then felt a sudden pain in his right hand. He saw that it was swollen. He moved his fingers and gave a silent cry of pain. Mr. Radditch noticed and sent Jimmy to the nurse.

"It looks like it's broken." The nurse told him. She wrapped it up and called his mother to take him to the hospital. All Jimmy could think about was Paige. He wondered if she would ever speak to him again nonetheless look at him. Once again, he couldn't stand himself.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hazel walked Jimmy to his car. He looked way to angry to talk to.

"What happened to your hand?" She asked reaching for it. He quickly pulled it away.

"Nothing okay!"

"Jimmy, did I do something, because you've been acting weird all day." He realized that he overreacted and didn't want her getting suspicious.

"It's just this suspension thing, and…I have a lot to deal with right now."

"Well maybe I can help…"

"No! I mean…this is something that I have figure out myself." Their conversation was interrupted by Craig.

"So Jim, you cool?"

"Yeah, man. Thanks for having my back in there." He told Craig, shaking hands.

"Anytime, dude. Oh, I kinda need a ride home." Jimmy smiled. They both got into the car forgetting that Hazel was still standing there.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The home had been full of laughs. Jimmy pulled up into Craig's driveway. He was about to get out when Jimmy pulled him back in.

"Dude, I understand you don't want me to leave, but…" They both laughed.

"Seriously, I need to ask you something."

"Through it at me."

"I think I'm in love with someone."

"Well have you told Hazel this?"

That's the problem. It's not Hazel." Craig looked surprised. He thought Jimmy and Hazel were made for each other.

"So, who is it? Heather, Joyce,"

"Paige." The car fell silent.

"Dude, I'm the wrong person to ask about women."

"I need your help."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jimmy got in a plopped down on the couch. His talk with Craig didn't help to much. He grabbed the phone and dialed Paige.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Paige was covered in her blanket eating a bowl of cereal while watching a soap opera. She noticed her phone vibrate on the table. It was Jimmy. She ignored it and continued watching television.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jimmy put the phone down and laid back in the chair. 'Why did I even try to call he? I should've known she wasn't gonna pick up.' He thought. He heard a key go into the door. It was his mom. He quickly turned off the TV.

"Jimmy?" She called out. He popped up from the chair. "The school nurse called me and said you broke something." It looked like Mr. Radditch forgot to call his mom. 'That's one good thing to happen today.' He thought. "Come on. I'm taking you to the hospital."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Paige lay in her couch bored to death now that it was 1:00.School wasn't even out yet and she didn't tell anybody that she was leaving. She was going to be in so much trouble when she went back to school. She began to think about Jimmy again. She was so angry with him yet she still loved him. She wanted to go over to Hazel and just tell her that she loved her boyfriend but didn't have the heart to. There was no way that Hazel could know. it would ruin their relationship, forever. But she loved him so much. Would she be able to let go of her best friend for her lover? No. She wouldn't let a boy ruin a perfectly good relationship, not even Jimmy.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jimmy's mother dropped him off at home after the appointment and then left for work again. He was on the computer making invitations to the party he was going to have on Friday. He knew Paige couldn't stay away from parties and this was the perfect way to get her to talk to him again. He pressed the print button and laid back in the chair. Now the only thing he had to wait for was Friday.

TBC. R&R! Homies!
