Chapter 3- New Impressions
Loki was driving to high school wishing he could turn around and never go back to that place. Fortunately, he thought, it was his final year; he'll be gone and never see them again.
Them
He turned on the stereo to dissipate his thoughts; he didn't want to worry before the problem had officially arrived.
He realised his father had been messing with his music again because Sinatra came. He smiled thinking his father could be so distracted at times, but left his father's USB connected, they liked almost the same music anyway.
He looked at his watch and realised he only had 10 minutes left to arrive.
"Damn"
He stepped on and started driving faster until he saw a blonde young man, running. He had a backpack and he seemed familiar.
"Who is that?" He said in a whisper as he drove to the person.
He opened the window on the other side and saw it was Thor Odinson, he was in most of his classes, but they hadn't talked much actually.
"Thor?" Loki said shyly from inside his car as Thor passed next to the black Cadillac
The sweaty blonde turned around surprised
"Yes… That's me… And you are…?" Thor responded stopping his walk
"Umm… I assume you are going to school, am I right?" Loki said stopping the car turning off the volume of the music
"Well I only have… 5 minutes left if I want to get there in time" He said looking at his mobile
"Well… I can give you a ride, you know, I'm going there as well" The black haired young man said opening the car door
Thor looked at him puzzled. They had never talked; he wondered how the other guy remembered his name.
"Are you sure? Because I can walk… or run there anyway" Thor said looking at Loki and brushing his hair off his face.
"Absolutely. Now get in before we both arrive late" Loki said with a small smirk on his face
Thor's face lighted up and jumped into the Cadillac, closing the door softly.
"Thank you very much…" Thor said and tried to remember his name but he couldn't quite get it right
Loki chuckled and started driving.
"Loki, my name is Loki"
Thor laughed nervously and nodded.
"Right, I'm sorry… Loki"
They both grinned at each other and they even started a conversation, but it all ended soon when they drove into the school's parking lot.
"Thank you very much, Loki" Thor said as they both got out of the car.
"No problem" Loki said grabbing his bag and closing the door.
"I-I guess I will see you later" Thor added as he walked away
"Sure…" Loki said still standing next to his car.
Thor smiled widely at him and turned around to the school, walking fast to catch one of his friends.
Loki stood there for a few seconds before snapping out. Thor had been so nice, very different from what he thought guys like him would be, especially with people like him.
He quickly noticed he was already late and he ran into the school doors right before they were closed.
He kept thinking about the unusual start of his day but it all went away as soon as his first class started.
Thor was not there.
The bell rang and everyone was walking throw the main hall talking and waiting for the next class.
Loki walked out of the classroom alone and walked straight to his locker; he opened it and grabbed his History books. With the corner of his eye he saw someone waving at him, he thought it was his imagination but when he turned, there was Thor and his friends. The golden boy was waving at him with a huge smile across his face while his friends were talking and looking at Thor with puzzled eyes.
For a second he thought Thor was waving at someone next or close to him, but when he turned to see, he was standing alone and Thor was walking towards him.
"Hey!" Thor said with his History books under his arm leaving behind his friends who were looking at the two young adults, whispering.
"Oh… Hello" Loki replied still confused.
"You've got History next, right?" Thor said as he started walking to his next class
Loki followed Thor looking at the floor.
"Y-Yes, History"
Thor looked at him still smiling.
"Great! So do I"
They entered the class and there was only a double table left. Thor walked straight to it, waving and smiling to some of the students while Loki stood still in the door scanning the room, looking for an empty seat.
"No…" Loki whispered as he realised there were no seats left, getting the feeling that it was starting to be a bad day
"Loki!" Thor yelled waving in Loki's direction.
All the students looked straight at Loki, some of them whispering.
"Come sit with me" Thor added as he pointed at the empty seat next to him.
Loki wasn't sure what to do, but then the teacher arrived and all he had left was to sit next to Thor.
The class started and there were 8 tables of two. In the left side, the two front rows were occupied by Sif and Fandral, in one table, and Hogun and Volstagg in the table behind. They were all friends of Thor. They had met years ago, and they still remained friends.
The four friends turned to Thor as soon as Loki sat next to him, looking at them confused. They didn't understand either why Thor was acting so strange.
"Okay, class. For next week you will have to give me an essay about World War I"
The whole class made a sound of disapproval as the teacher stood up to write it on the board.
"Yes, and you will do in in pairs. With the person sitting next to you, please"
Loki's heart stopped. He never worked in pairs or in groups. Every time the teacher told them they had to do a project he would do it by himself, with no help or company.
His thoughts were interrupted buy Thor's strong hand on his back.
"Well Loki, it seems we are partners" Thor said smiling at him.
The four friends in front of them were looking at the two guys, still confused, but with more joy in their eyes
"So, are you two working together?" Sif asked giving Fandral a sarcastic look
"Yes, of course we are" said Thor still looking at Loki.
Volstagg let out a chuckle and looked at the scene.
"Well, good luck then" Fandral added and turned to the teacher once again.
Loki was unsure of what he was supposed to do. Should he stand up and say he wouldn't work with Thor? No, that was just cruel. Thor had been nice to him, and Loki had nothing against him apparently.
"So, it's for next week. When are we getting together to do it?" Thor asked once all his friends weren't looking at them.
Loki shook his head slightly and looked to Thor biting his lower lip thinking about when he was free.
"What about this Friday evening" Loki replied opening his notebook
"It's for next Monday anyway" he added
"Sure. Friday evening it's okay" Thor said opening his book
"But… Where?" Loki asked nervously
Thor looked at him and shrugs
"My house, your house, I'm okay with either way"
"We could go to mine, I have a large study with my father's books, and we could use them"
"Sounds great, because my dad doesn't really have a lot of books" Thor said and laughed
Loki chuckled and opened his book
"Great then, shall I pick you at your house or…"
"Oh, don't worry. Just give me your address and I'll be there at 6 pm, is that okay?"
"Yes, 6 pm is perfect"
The day was finally over, and Loki was glad it was. He picked the books he needed for his homework and walked out to the parking lot.
He saw the other students walking out and to their cars, unfortunately not everyone was thinking about leaving early.
"Hey, Laufeyson!" A loud voice said
Loki turned around and saw a couple of football players walking towards him; they were big and had a huge grin on their faces.
"No…" Loki whispered and tried to ignore them walking faster to his car.
"Hey! Don't run away!" The biggest one said and ran behind Loki grabbing his shoulder and turning him around
"Leave me alone, Porter" Loki managed
Adam Porter. He was one of the football players of his high school, he had lost to Thor the quarterback spot and he was almost left out of the team, since then he had been picking on Loki for almost nothing.
"The rich boy wants me to leave him alone!" Porter shouted and his two friends laughed
Loki looked around and the students were staring at them without doing a thing. He cursed them all.
One of Porter's friends, Curtis Samuels whispered something to his ear and then Porter looked at him.
"Well, well… What do we have there?" Porter said looking at his silver necklace.
Loki looked down and saw the necklace he had bought for himself with his first pay check.
Porter took the necklace in his hand looking at it.
"What are you doing..." Loki said nervously looking at the giant hand around his necklace
Porter grinned and pulled the necklace pulling Loki closer.
"I like it"
Loki swallowed and looked at Porter.
"Too bad it's mine"
Porter's other friend, Kit McWind, stepped next to Loki and grabbed him by the shoulders
"Do not speak to me like that, kit" Porter whispered tightening the grip on the necklace.
"Then leave me alone, Porter"
The guy left out a laugh and then looked back at Loki
"What if I don't want to?"
Loki could feel everyone staring at the scene; he felt his face turning red with anger.
"Are you going to make me?"
Loki tried to free himself from the tight grip on his shoulders but he only managed to hurt himself.
"It's not going to be so easy there, Princess"
"Don't call me that" Loki said with rage in his voice
Porter grinned widely and punched Loki on his stomach making him fall to his knees.
"Don't tell me what to do, Princess"
Another kick hit Loki, this time on his back.
"You better watch your back now, Princess" Porter said as he leaned forward to Loki, kneeling in front of him.
Loki tried to move and punch the other guy, but the pain on his slender body left him on the floor.
"And now…" Porter grabbed the necklace again, and pulled it so hard it broke.
Loki gasped and saw the silver falling next to him
Porter laughed with his friends and walked away leaving Loki on the floor, his books and notes all over the place.
You'll pay…
Loki managed to stand to his feet, pain all over his body and face. He picked up his books and put them back to his bag as fast as he could.
He looked down at his necklace and picked it up. He loved that necklace, he loved it so very much he felt tears coming, but he couldn't let anyone see them. He ran to his car and started the engine driving away quickly.
He stopped a few blocks away from his house and cried.
Why… Why God…
