Cherub: Heart of Ice
Chapter three: The Fight
"Hey fatty I thought we were doing PE here" she called, turned to the girl beside her, hissing that she continue with the insults, then she moved around the crowd like an assasin making the others join in. You didn't mess with her, not when you weren't likely to get in trouble with the teacher when you didn't get caught. He was far to lazy to keep them all after school, or even make sure they turned up at a detention. Soon the gym was full of ringing insults and mayhem.
Chylo threw some water at him, hoping to infuriate him all the more, and it worked he went berserk. She'd always wanted to push him over the edge, but she didn't think it would be so easy, or so acheiveable. All in the school hated him, and she was going to get rid of him. Get a better PE teacher, be nicer to them, enjoy PE, without having to try very hard. What a dream.
Mr.Do-rod, snarled in fury, his wicked little eyes sweeping the room. The effect was startling, as silence stole across the room, instantly. Chylo had taken it to far, but Davie was not to be out done. Perhaps he didn't realise the danger that was going on, or perhaps he didn't care. Not much was known about Davie, except that he had turned up three weeks ago, and gradually his behaviour had become irratic and crueler, playing for attention. Before words could come out of the PE teachers mouth, he was up and at them, stalking towards the group smirking that annoying smirk of his. The effect was amazing, transforming his naturally charming face into one of a dangerous player.
"Hey piggy, not afraid of a little water are you?" It was a sly jib, and not very imaginative. Chylo imagined that if Davie's tone hadn't been of the utmost calm and calculation it would have had little effect over her own actions, but unfortunatly it did, and once more she was out of the game. It had turned into something more than a little fun now, she could lose her entire reputation if she didn't turn things up. Her mind worked in a whirl, trying to come up with the perfect rouse, but she didn't have to. Mr. Do-rod let lose a ripping shout, and launched himself at Chylo, as through it was her fault that Davie was being such a menace. Chylo wasn't having it, she'd rather defend him now than have the beast lash out at her, his leaping form, and the many witnesses would be more than enough to get him banished from teaching for the rest of his life.
She ducked beneath his flayling arms, and crawled through his legs. Her eyes widened as a hand stretched out to help her up. Davie's hand. She grasped it more from surprise than the need, stumbling to her feet, and turning to face the PE teacher who once more was staring at her, and rearing his ugly head, as through she was red, and he a bull. A small gasp escaped her lips, and she backed away holding up her hands and shaking her head. Defence came from an unexpected quarters. Davie stood in front of her as through a protective brother or best friend might, and his eyes were ice. He too had the image of a bull in his head, and there was only one way to deal with a bull. He kicked out hard, at the on coming figure. It was enough to placate him, amongsts cheers that rang around the gym.
"Come with me" Davie whispered to Chylo, gripping her shaking form and escorting her out of the gym. She was aware that they were walking out of the school grounds, and vaguely that it was against school rules, but she didn't care. She had no idea what was happening, as he lay her down on the bench and whispered soft words in her ear. The last thing she remembered was laying on that bench with Davie comforting her before she fell into a deep, blackness that she welcomed.
Ok so the title is a little deceptive, but honestly its been so long I forget what I was going to do. It certainly isn't the best piece I've ever written but its not completely terrible. More next time, with chapter four: Awaking in Cherub.
