Title: Surprise!
Chapter 1: Helping Out
A light redhead was jogging when she tripped in a pothole and fell. She was running with her friends when she fell behind to stop for a drink from the fountain. One of her friends noticed and went back to find her without telling them.
" Theresa! Theresa! Where are you?"
"Over here Jay!"
A dark brunet emerged from where the path turned. Once he found her he saw that she was rubbing the ankle that she twisted when she fell. Jay offered to carry her back, which she declined. That disappointed him somewhat. They walked for a bit when Theresa stopped to look at her ankle. It was all red and swollen. She bit her lip in pain, when suddenly Jay picked her up and carried her on his back. A couple moments later it started to rain. He swerved to the trees so that he may walk under them without getting wet. Theresa pulled up the hood of her jumpsuit on her head. Soon enough she fell asleep on his back. Jay gave a small smile as he began to walk. A couple of hours later he saw the dorm where the seven of them lived. When he walked through the door he was met with the other five with worried expressions on their faces.
"Where have you been?" they all chanted simultaneously.
"Theresa tripped and twisted her ankle so I carried her back," Jay explained to the others.
"Is she okay?" a fiery redhead asked.
"Yeah she's okay Atlanta. Except for the swollen ankle she's just fine. I'll take her to see Chiron tomorrow so he can examine it," Jay calmly told her.
"Well you certainly took awhile to get back," a dark brunet smirked.
Jay slightly blushed under his comment.
"When I was carrying her back it started to rain so I had to walk under the trees as not to get wet which took longer".
"Well it didn't help much because you're hair is a mess dude," a good-looking blond said from the bathroom.
"You just shut up Neil." A purple haired lad snapped.
"Nice comeback Archie," the brunet sneered.
"Hey you watch it Herry," Archie yelled.
"You watch your mouth Archie or you're not going to have any teeth left!" Herry barked.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
That's when the argument started and words and insults just bounced back and forth. Jay sighed and just shook his head smiling. He brought Theresa into her bedroom and laid her down softly on the bed. He then went to get some bandages to wrap around her heel as to stop the swelling. A small black haired dude with an afro noticed him leave and followed.
"Here Jay. I'll wrap it up for you so you can take a warm shower," he offered.
"Thanks but no thanks Odie. I can handle this myself," Jay said. "Anyway is Neil even out of the bathroom yet?"
"Umm, good point. I'll tell him to hurry up so you and Theresa can take one," Odie answered as he hurried of.
Jay smiled. He woke Theresa up and put on the bandages, but god was she ever beautiful when she was asleep even if she was wet.
"Go and take warm shower Theresa. I can wait till I dry off somewhat," Jay told her.
"Thanks Jay," she said smiling.
She walked away, limping, down the hall when she met Atlanta.
"So…what happened?" Atlanta questioned.
"What?" Theresa answered with a quizzical expression on her face.
"What happened between you and Jay?" she pestered.
"Nothing. He just carried me to my room and told me to take a shower after he finished," Theresa said blushing slightly.
"Finished what?"
"Finished wrapping my ankle of course," she told her friend.
The tone of her voice told Atlanta that conversation was over so she walked off, still wondering what actually happened between Theresa and Jay.
So what did you think? This is my first story so it will be fairly crappy. It will take me awhile to get chapter 2 up and the others because I'm such a slooow typer. Please review. I will try to get the next chapter up in a couple of days.
Chapter 2: First ClassOnce everyone woke up they went downstairs for breakfast. Since today was Friday, Athena was making waffles. Herry just loved it when Friday came; waffles, last day ofnormal (I repeat normal) school for the week, waffles, and watching movies, more waffles, being just plain lazy, and of course more waffles. Jay and Theresa were up a bit later than everyone because of what happened yesterday so they ate alone. A conversation soon started on how Theresa should get to school.
"I think you should drive to school today," Jay said simply.
"I guess but why can't you carry me to school," Theresa said grinning.
Jay blushed and quietly said, "If you want me to I will. We better hurry up or we'll be late for school."
Everyone packed their bags and then left. They all saw Jay carrying Theresa on his back and started to tease him about it. Jay was about to make a remark when the bell rang.
"We'd better run!"
First class was gym, which Theresa was excused from because of her ankle. Jay was also excused so he could take her to see the nurse. After going through the janitors closet they met Hera. Hera glared at them at them as she asked what they thought they were doing to miss first class.
"Theresa has a twisted ankle and we were excused from gym so I could take her to see Chiron," Jay and Theresa explained (And if some of you didn't figure out, Chiron was the nurse they were sent to see).
"Well, carry on then," Hera told them as she brushed them aside to go and do whatever it is that she wanted.
They saw Chiron in his study and told him what happened. He took a good look at the ankle and looked at them.
"Well its noting more than a small sprain and the swellings gone down quite a bit from the bandage. Theresa you should stay off it for a couple days. Do you want me to lend you a pair of crutches to walk on for a bit?" he stated.
"Yes please. I'll use them during school so that way I won't break Jay's back," she replied as she smiled at Jay.
"Okay. Just a second,"
A few minutes later he called jay in to help him look for them. Inside he whispered,
"Jay I want you to stay close to Theresa. Because of her ankle she's a vulnerable target for Cronus. She'd be able to hold him off for a bit but I'd still feel better if you kept close to her. Just one thing, don't tell what I said okay,"
"Okay," Jay promised.
This was perfect. He'd be with her alone and they'd spend a lot of time together. Chiron handed him the crutches and told him to be careful. Jay just nodded and left.
He walked with Theresa for a bit until the bell rang. Then he left her to go to his class. They promised to meet up at lunch just before they left. Theresa smiled to herself. She heard what Chiron said about her. She wasn't too happy about being vulnerable but she was pleased when he heard him tell Jay to stay close to her side. She knew one thing. This ankle was most certainly a mixed blessing.
Sweet! I got this chappie up sooner than I expected. If you think this and the other chapter were short I'm sorry to say but so will be the next two. The ones after that will be a lot longer. Once again please review, my life depends on it and so do my chapters!
Chapter 3: Theresa's Nightmare
After Jay and Theresa left for Chiron's study the others were having gym. Today they were having an obstacle course. It was a one-on-one race so only two raced at a time. The first up were Archie and Atlanta. Everyone knew this would be interesting because they were extremely competitive. It was easy because everything in it was easy. They had to race through tires, swing on ropes over a mat, and race to the finish. Like this was going to be hard. Try doing this with running over crocodile backs in a swamp, swinging over a pool of hot lava, and racing away from a gigantic robot that was chasing you. Their coach blew the whistle and they were off. They ran through the tires and swung on the ropes over the mat with the greatest of ease. They were running to the finish when Atlanta yelled over her shoulder,
"You're gonna to eat my dust Archie!"
"Wanna bet," Archie panted.
He was catching up to Atlanta when a basketball came rolling out across the room. Archie tripped and fell on his face! Atlanta heard a thump and turned her head over her shoulder while she was still running. She saw Archie on the ground groaning. Atlanta turned around and ran back to help him.
"Get back and finish the race!" the coach yelled.
Atlanta just glared at him thus causing him to shrink back and shut up. She picked Archie up and helped him to the stands.
"All right! Who left that ball out?" the coach barked.
"S-sorry coach," someone stammered from the stands.
The bell rang for next class so everyone left to go and get changed.
"You all right Archie," Herry asked.
"Yeah. I just got the wind knocked out of me,"
"It's cool that you're okay but dude you seriously need a shower," Neil retorted plugging his nose.
They all laughed at his comment and then Archie went to go and take a shower. Everyone split up and went to their different classes. At lunch they all met up at their usual table by the west window on the balcony. They were eating when Jay and Theresa came along. Theresa sat down in the chair across from Odie and beside Atlanta. Jay left and came right back with some food for him and Theresa.
"Thanks," Theresa said smiling.
Jay took a chair next to her and they both began to eat. When they were done Jay took the trays and then helped Theresa up.
After school they all sat down to watch a comedy. Soon afterwards they had supper and then went to bed. Jay rebandaged her ankle and then helped her to bed. They both said good night and then left to their bedroom. They all fell asleep instantly but while everyone else's was peaceful Theresa was more fitful. She tossed and turned in her bed while she was dreaming that someone was walking down a dark corridor. Bones littered the floor while the walls were caked with mud and blood. The person didn't have a flashlight so you couldn't see their face. The person kept walking with their hand against the wall so that they could feel the way out when someone hit them on the head. The person was then dragged away deeper into the darkness. She was about to see the assaulters face when her alarm went off. She quickly sat up in bed scared. She felt very hot and there was sweat pouring down her face. She was gasping very fast and loudly. She just sat there in bed thinking about what happened.
"It was a nightmare nothing more," she told herself. "It couldn't have been a vision, it just couldn't of, could it…"
OMG! I can't believe I made it this far in two days. In case some of you want to know I have the first seven chapters in my notebook (soon to be eight) and I plan to have at least 10 or 11 plus an epilogue. Please review.
