Episode 1: Chapter 3
Kyle smiled lightly as he was in school for another day, he was hanging out with a few of the other guys before class, as well as Clementine and Violet, all of them simply chatting. Kyle was being quiet however, thinking to himself and the others noticed.
"Kyle, hey, you in there dude?" Louis asked him jokingly.
Kyle jolted out of his thoughts and smiled. "Oh sorry, was just thinking."
Clementine gave a small laugh. "Yeah, could see that. What about?"
Kyle shrugged and replied. "Ah, was just thinking of getting more involved in school, maybe...join a sports team or something."
"Huh, that actually might be a good idea." Marlon remarked.
Mitch nodded. "Yeah, there's a few to choose from, if you need more time to think about it."
Kyle smiled lightly at that. "Yeah, I uh, I actually think I might have something to try out."
They all smiled at that, sounding happy that he was taking this step, it would be good, they knew, that Kyle was getting more involved in the school and in extra-curricular activities. Kyle glanced once more at the nearby poster that caught his attention just as the teacher arrived and they all began making their way into class.
'Yeah, sounds like a plan...I'll do it.' He told himself. 'After gym class I'll talk to the coach and see about trying out for the football team.'
Satisfied with that he prepared to focus on class and wait for his chance after gym class.
When he was on his own however, heading to one of his classes, he was startled to find his path blocked. Before he even reached the class, someone stepped in his way and glared at him. The first thing that struck Kyle was that this boy was also tall, facing Kyle eye to eye. He had short blonde hair, brown eyes and was somewhat pale and lanky. He was glaring at Kyle and had an air of arrogance about him that made Kyle instantly on edge.
"So, you're the new boy." He remarked with a sneer.
Kyle narrowed his eyes. "Um, yeah, Kyle Sherman."
"Your name doesn't matter. You're not important enough for me to care about your name." The boy snapped. "Just listen and listen good, boy. You just stay out of my way and don't get any ideas that you are worth anything while I'm here, got it."
Kyle narrowed his eyes. "Excuse me, just who the hell do you think you are?"
"Nick Caelish and I own this school, so just remember what I said." The boy shot back.
Kyle just nodded. "Right, whatever."
He then stepped around the arrogant boy and continued on to his class. Nick spun around.
"Hey, I didn't say you could go, loser." He called.
Kyle called back. "Don't care, you're just a stuck up rich boy and you don't actually own anything, so get lost, not interested in you and your stupid games."
With that he continued on while Nick watched him go in shock and anger.
XXXXX
Kyle was still disturbed by the encounter at gym class later that day and as he changed for gym, he decided to ask. He looked around, Gabe and Aasim were nearest him also getting changed. The other boys were still somewhat nearby but not right next to him. He made up his mind.
"Hey guys um…" He got their attention and continued. "Do you guys know a...Nick Caelish?"
All three of them made disgusted faces and Gabe spoke up.
"Yeah, we know him. Spoiled rich kid, thinks he's the best thing in this school." He explained.
Aasim nodded. "He thinks everybody should be impressed with him and despises anyone who stands up to him or ignores him. About the only positive thing about him is he hates bullies...but only because he sees them as infringing on his control of things."
"Yeah, I got the whole, thinks he's the best thing when I encountered him." Kyle replied.
The others had been listening in and were startled to hear Kyle had an encounter with Nick.
"Whoa and you stood up to him?" Omar asked.
Kyle nodded and fully explained the encounter.
"God...well, you're a damn sight braver than most, Kyle." Marlon told him. "Just be careful."
Kyle sighed. "I got it, don't worry. But seriously, I'm not too keen on just letting him walk all over people."
The others nodded, at least accepting that, which gave Kyle some hope as they left the locker room for gym class.
Kyle later nodded to the other boys as they went to the locker room to get changed at the end of gym class. He had something else to take care of first and approached the coach. Looking up as he was putting away what they had been using in the class, the coach noted his presence.
"Sherman, you need something?"
Kyle nodded. "Um, yes coach, I was wanting to ask you about joining the football team?"
The coach turned to him. "Ah, I see...hmmm, well, I think we might have a spot open, if you can show you're skilled enough for it."
"I'm ready to try."
"Good, good." The coach said with a grin. "Well, let's give you that try-out then. Don't worry about your next class, I'll write a note for the teacher."
Kyle smiled and went to prepare himself to begin, looking forward to this and certainly hopeful that his try-out would go well.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
