Hello people… I'm gonna update this story first… but Fight for Jenna is coming along pretty slowly… anyway, I hope you like this… my counselor told me to let out my sorrow into my passion, and my passion is in writing. In updating my stories, I hope to cheer up… and if you don't know what's wrong with me, just review the note in chapter 21 on Fight for Jenna… I just hope you'll still review for this story, because if I don't get reviews… well, you can say good bye to it.
Ok, trying to bring myself into a cheerful mood. So the paragraphs aren't spaced? I can fix that. Sorry about the house numbers, I'm never good with those. And I'm sorry the characters seem not like themselves, but hey… after what they've been through, wouldn't you be too? And don't worry. Piers will be his old self once he lightens up.
Leon is gonna be the uncle's name, but trust me… your others names were good. I really liked Ben… but Leon has always been a favorite name to me.
"So… Piers… how was your first day of school?" Sitting at the dinner table was Piers, eating Chinese food with his uncle, Leon. Unfortunately… neither of them knew how to cook, so they both voted on take out.
Piers froze… thinking about his day. He had met a bizarre blonde who would beat up his friends to get detention… a quiet boy who made a cute couple with his neighbor… a jerk who took his hair color… and… a certain auburn haired girl who he couldn't get his mind off of…
"Ok I guess." Piers mumbled, taking a bite of his Lemon Chicken. There was silence for a few minutes. Piers couldn't help but think of the pool party. It sounded like a lot of fun, and deep inside he was excited to go swim with his new friends. He couldn't wait to watch Isaac argue with his mom –god it was a funny sight to see- and talk with Jenna. But his face betrayed his feelings, and he didn't even look the slightest bit happy.
The thought of talking with Jenna came back to his head… and his cheerful thoughts were suddenly invaded with images of Jenna in a bikini…!
"Piers… er, your nose is bleeding…" Leon whispered, chuckling inwardly to himself. Shocked and embarrassed, Piers began struggling to wipe off the blood leaking out. "You aren't thinking of anything… dirty, are you?"
"O-Of course not." Piers growled, before running off to grab a tissue.
Next day, before first period
"Have a good day. I might not be home when you come back from the pool party, so I hid a key under my favorite flower pot." Leon explained, watching Piers get out of his blue SUV.
"Thanks… I'll be sure to remember…" Piers grumbled, before slamming the door. He didn't mean it out of anger, he just slammed it. Glancing toward the school, Piers frowned. Leon had said that he had hid the key under his favorite flower pot… but what was his favorite? Regret hit him like a brick. Hopefully his uncle would be home before he came back from the party…
"Piers! What's up!" A certain voice filled his ears, and it took all of Piers' concentration not to show any hint of irritation on his face. Turning to his side, he watched Isaac and Felix approach him.
"Hello Isaac… hello…" It took a few seconds of thinking to remember the brunette's name. "Felix…?"
"Yeah! You remembered our names!" Isaac cheered, playfully punching the amber eyed boy's shoulder. Though Piers shot him a glare, he didn't say anything in defense. "We wanted to know if you were gonna still come tonight. You… still are, right?"
"Of course. Why wouldn't I?" Piers asked, frowning.
"Great! After all, you wouldn't wanna miss the girl's in their bikinis, right! Oh my god, just wait! Jenna has such a great body!" Isaac said, a huge grin plastered onto his face. His grin fell when he noted Piers looking at something behind him. "What?"
"You ass! Talking about my sister like that in front of me!" Without warning, Felix tackled Isaac to the sidewalk, and pinned him down. "I'm gonna kill you!" For once, Piers chuckled. How odd… for friends to kill each other…
"Someone help me! Piers, buddy, pal! Help me out!" Isaac pleaded, struggling to reach out toward Piers. However, Felix grabbed the hand/arm reaching out to Piers, and twisted it behind poor Isaac's back. "AHHH!"
"Cry out for mercy, that way everyone can think you're a pansy!" Felix laughed, sitting on Isaac's back. Within a second, a crowd had suddenly circled them, and Piers was stunned to find Ivan and Feizhi suddenly appear beside him.
"M-My money's on Felix…" Ivan stuttered. It was easy to see that he wasn't quite comfortable with his 2 close friends fighting on the sidewalk. But then again, who would be?
"Come on Isaac! Show him what you're made of!" Feizhi cheered, shaking Ivan's arm as she cheered. Everyone shouted all sorts for both of the boys, but more for Felix.
"I'll never cry out for mercy! And I'm only saying the truth! Jenna, where ever you may be, I think you have a great body!" Isaac laughed, purposely trying to piss off Jenna's older brother.
"Suit yourself." Felix got ready to do something even worse before… someone grabbed onto his brown hair, and yanked him off the blonde. "H-Hey! What gives!" He looked up to see… a raged pair of emerald eyes. "Oh…"
"What? Something wrong?" Isaac questioned, confused as to why everyone had suddenly quieted down. Instantly, his sapphire eyes averted to Piers, who also looked slightly nervous. This… didn't look good…
Suddenly, someone else sat on his back, and punched the back of his head.
"What was that about Jenna! What about her great body, Isaac! Honey!" A girl's voice came. The last word made everything fit together, and Isaac actually did feel scared. "How could you say something like that with your own girlfriend around!" A sharper cry of pain came from Isaac when whoever it was yanked his arm back harder than Felix had. When a popping noise could be heard, Ivan flinched, Feizhi gasped while Piers looked horrified. God… why were his new friends so violent!
"M-Mia! I'm sorry! Oh god, I am so sorry! I didn't have a chance to say it, but you have a greater body than Jenna!" Isaac tried, oh how he tried…
"Do you like Jenna or something! What's so special about her! Am I not good enough or something!" Mia cried, taking his other arm and making another painful pop.
"M-My money's now on Mia…" Ivan whispered, earning a nod of agreement from Feizhi. Just when it looked like Isaac was going to suffer some more, a new voice came to everyone's attention.
"HEY!" Mia, Isaac, Felix, Ivan and Feizhi froze in place while Piers raised an eyebrow. The voice sounded like it had come from someone much older… like an adult… but why was everyone so scared then? "What the hell's going on here!" Parting through the crowd came a man in his mid twenties… with aqua colored hair… and crimson eyes!
"Crap! It's Saturos!" Feizhi gasped, watching the man glare at the 3 on the ground. Saturos? Why did that name seem familiar to Piers…? Wait a second…
"Hey Saturos! What's up?" Felix laughed, smiling innocently. The detention teacher narrowed his eyes, and pulled Mia off Isaac. "I had nothing to do with it, I swear." Felix said, getting up and dusting himself off. But Saturos gave him a disbelieving look.
"Yeah right! You're the reason I got to the ground in the first place!" Isaac snapped… until Mia gave him a hateful glare. "Oh, come on Mia…"
"I don't care who started it. Give me one good reason why I should let you guys off the hook?" Saturos demanded, folding his arms over his chest. (Ok, everyone is in modern day times, right? Well, let's just have Saturos wear something cool… like a suit with the top 4 buttons undone! Jk… picture him however you want. )
"Because… we don't want you to?" Isaac suggested, giving the crimson eyed teacher a goofy grin.
"I said a good reason, Isaac." Saturos scolded; about to yell at them before a sweet voice came.
"Oh! Isaac! There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Before any one could see who it was, someone ran to Isaac, and gave him a bone crushing hug. "I called for you on the speakers, but you didn't come!" Dora said, squeezing Isaac's face into her shoulder. Ivan and Feizhi laughed, Felix snickered, and Mia sighed while Piers smirked for once. When Dora noticed Saturos, she frowned. "Oh, hello Saturos. How are you this lovely morning?"
"Oh, I'm just great Dora. I love starting my morning by yelling at your son." Saturos sarcastically growled, narrowing his eyes at her. But she gave him a glare, and everyone gasped when she stormed up to Saturos.
"You were yelling at my baby?" She demanded, making Saturos look… worried? Piers could've been imagining it, but he could have sworn he saw a flicker of fear go off those crimson orbs.
"D-Dora… he's out of control… I found him fighting with Felix and Mia… don't tell me I should just let him run away like nothing happened?" Though Saturos had a point, Dora didn't notice it. It was his first few words that really ticked her off.
"Are you calling my baby out of control!" Saturos now looked nervous. "Saturos, how dare you!" The high and mighty detention teacher backed away slightly when she began jabbing him in the chest. "You're the one who's out of control! All you ever do is take your anger out on the children just because you can't get a date with the school nurse!" Dora hissed, making the students get wide eyed.
"I-I do not! Why would I want a date with Menardi!" Saturos said, his face turning almost as red as his eyes. Before Dora could reply, the bell rang for passing time to first period. "I'm going back to my office. But next time I catch your kid fighting… Dora, I swear I'll suspend him." Not wanting to hear her answer, Saturos turned on his foot, and stormed off toward the school doors.
"Well… that… was a shocker." Isaac laughed, earning a nod from Felix.
Science Class, 3rd period
"God… Science is so boring…" Jenna groaned, smacking her head on the desk. Jenna, Felix, Isaac and Piers sat in the middle, towards the windows. Jenna sat next to Felix, who was behind Isaac but in front of Piers. "I… hate Science…"
"It's not so bad." Felix grumbled, reading in his text book. Jenna sent him a tired glare, and smirked.
"You're just saying that because it's the only class you have a D in. Everything else has an F, right?" Felix sent her a glare equal to her own. Deciding not to argue with him, she turned to Piers. "Say, Piers…" His amber eyes flickered up to see her smiling. "Are you going to Isaac's tonight?"
"Yeah." He simply said, trying to look calm. For some reason… his stomach felt like a knot had formed…
"You know it would have been rude to bring that up if he hadn't been invited him." Felix barked, earning a nod from Isaac. The auburn haired girl smiled at the trio, and laughed. "What's so funny!"
"I don't care if it's rude. I would have invited him to swim with us anyway." Jenna said, winking at Piers. His cheeks reddened slightly, but he quickly looked away before she could tease him about it. "Say, any of you heard about the Halloween Dance?"
"Yeah!" Isaac said, a grin coming to his face. "I can't wait! I love Halloween!"
"She's talking about the dance, idiot. I don't know if I'm going…" Felix sighed, closing his science book. Piers frowned while Isaac and Jenna gave him a confused look. "I don't have a date… and you know how awful it would be… appearing at a dance… SINGLE…" He said, as though without a date he was nothing.
"Want to go on a blind date?" Isaac asked, his grin turning to a confused frown.
"NO!" Felix screamed, jumping out of his seat and glaring at the blonde. "Last time you set me up on a date, Saturos appeared! I still hate you for that!" Felix yelled, making everyone –including the teacher- laugh.
"Not my fault the chick dropped the dinner invitation in the detention room! He was just as upset as you were!" Isaac retorted. Retaking his seat, Felix glared at the window. He'd never forget that time…
Piers sat there, in panic, but his face wouldn't show the slightest hint of emotion. He wanted to ask Jenna if she had a date… but what if she did? Would he embarrass himself? What if she was going with that… that blue haired jerk?
"Say, who are you going with, Piers?" This question caught him off guard, and Piers glanced up to see Jenna and Isaac smiling at him. "Have anyone special you wanna ask?" Jenna asked, smiling warmly. Oh god… how was he gonna answer that! He couldn't just come out and say 'I wanna take you to the dance'. What if she did have someone and he said that!
"Um… well…" His face flustered, and it must've been obvious because Isaac made sure to point it out.
"He does! Just look at him blush!" Isaac laughed.
"Isaac, knock it off!" Jenna snapped, feeling slightly bad for Piers. Isaac didn't have to go on harassing him just because he did have someone he wanted to ask…
"Yeah Isaac, knock it off!" An icy voice laughed. At hearing the voice, Isaac's cheerful expression fell, Felix growled to himself while Piers narrowed his amber eyes. Taking a seat on Jenna's desk, Alex brushed a stray strand of blue hair out of his eyes. "We don't want to make Jenna mad, now do we?" He taunted, leaning toward Jenna's face.
"Stop it Alex." She sharply whispered, leaning away from him.
"So… Jenna… you know the dance isn't too far. And even though I have half the girl population going for me…" Alex paused to pull out a mirror from his pocket, and gaze at himself. "I've decided I want to take you to the dance."
"Hell no!" Isaac and Felix snapped in unison, anger rising in them quickly.
"She's not going with either of you, so screw off." Alex snapped, fixing his hair in the mirror… before someone suddenly shoved him off the desk. A yelp escaped him, and the whole class fell dead silent when Alex's mirror shattered.
"That's seven years of bad luck to whoever shoved him." Isaac muttered, turning to whoever had shoved the blue haired jerk. To the trio's shock, Piers stood there, amber eyes dangerously narrowed as he stood next to the seated Jenna.
"Jenna isn't going to the dance with you." Piers stated, watching Alex's cold blue eyes send a hate-filled glare his way.
"Why would you say that!" Alex sneered, getting up and fixing his hair once more. Jenna was about to question the same thing before Piers said his next words.
"Because Jenna's going to the dance with me!"
Then it suddenly hit Piers like a ton of bricks. His 7 years of bad luck had all ready started…
