A/N: Hey guys! I know I sort of disappeared off the site for a month or two, but school has been pounding me with work. I hope you can all understand that. I am going to get rid of the Kick'in It Newsletter that is on my Forum, "Kick'in It Fanfiction. I am so sorry but, I just don't have time for it. I really wish I had time but with all the homework I get I barely get any sleep as it is. Since, I'm on Thanksgiving Break I decided to update some of my stories. This next chapter of "Blackstar" isn't that great because, I've been having a smige of writer's block and hopefully that will go away soon. Don't worry it will get better I promise. This chapter isn't as long as the others 'cause I have decided since I have so much going on in my life at the moment that I'm going to write shorter chapters so the story moves as quick as I can get it too move. I hope that's okay with you guys…=)
"Like birds who wings are broken, you live without direction-"
"Eddie? Are you okay?"
The African American looked up at his nerdy friend Milton, who was looking at him in concern. Eddie quickly sat up from where his head had been nicely laying on the lunch table and quickly rubbed his eyes, noticing his vision was somewhat blurry.
Opening, his eyes again he could see like he normally could.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He replied letting out a small yawn. "Just you know really tired...I was up studying really hard for Mr. Walkers killer chemistry test." Eddie lied smoothly. (Even though he did study a bit.)
Milton nodded understanding expressed on his face as he turned back and tried to chew the mystery meat. Eddie sighed, scanning around the cafeteria seeing "Pep Rally" and "Homecoming"posters for the game Saturday night and dance hung all throughout the lunchroom. He frowned realizing with all the drama that had gone on within the past week he forgot all about the dance coming up, but it seemed like his friends did too.
By now, Milton would be freaking out about what color corsage to get Julie for Homecoming, Jerry usually was asking out every girl just so he could have a date, but this year he hadn't talked to any, it was weird his head not being in the game. Jack usually would be getting tons of offers from girls, but none have come up yet.
"Hey, Jack."
Oops, spoke too soon.
Jack looked up from the mystery meat he was currently trying to chew and moved his Beats that had been currently jamming a Jimmy Hendrix song into his ears; to around his neck, you could still hear the fate sound of the song vibrating through the headset.
"Yeah, Donna?" Jack inquired rolling his eyes.
Donna rolled her eyes back and leaned on her hip crossing her arms over chest.
She scoffed, "Where's Jake and a...Greene?"
Jerry did a spit take of his coke spewing the brown liquid all over Milton. The nerd had an expression of anger and shock mixed on his face, they all burst out laughing at the site of their friend, soda dripping down his entire face. Milton casted Jerrry one mean glare his way; which Jerry returned with a meek grin indirectly telling Milton how sorry he was. Milton then left the table, muttering uncomprehendable curses under his breath as he made his way toward the bathroom.
Jack chuckled a bit shaking his head as he watched Milton open the double doors to make his way out of the lunchroom unnoticed, but Jack's eyebrows shot up in surprise at the two people who stepped through the doors greeting Milton.
The brunette nudged his head in the direction of the double doors as a smirk formed on his face, "They're over there Donna."
Donna looked over in the direction a death glare quickly grew on her face. Roxy and Jake quietly walked up toward their table smiling at each other and holding hands.
"What the hell, is going on with you two!" Donna snapped viciously causing the whole lunchroom to turn silent and look her way.
Roxy gave Jake a worried look.
Jake just shook his head and spoke up, "Uh...Donna honestly that date was the worse date I ever went on and well...me and Roxy got together so...I'm sorry?" He answered awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.
Before, anyone knew what happened Roxy was tackled to the tile floor her waist currently being straddled by Donna. Donna screamed in her face right before she smacked the tomboy straight across the cheek, "You little, whore! You slept with him didn't you?! You are such a slut!"
Roxy's eyes narrowed dangerously at Donna's furious face. She quickly flipped Donna over straddling her face instead. "I did not sleep with him!"
Donna kicked Roxy off her body, her high heel almost digging into the girl's skin. Roxy stood up throwing the heel to the side absentmindley hitting Jerry in the face.
"Hey!"
"Sorry, Jerry!" She responded back with an apologetic look.
Donna stood up, slowly throwing her earrings off her ears and all her jewelry.
Roxy narrowed her eyes, "Okay, if this is going to be a real fight were fighting like men not women."
Donna smirked.
She snapped her fingers and the BlackDragons stood up right on cue. "Fine, Greene boys get her!"
The Black Dragon's ran at Roxy, who jumped on top of the table before they could grab her causing a few to knock heads. She then backed up on the table and jumped spinning in the air grasping onto a light hanging from the ceiling she swung on it, front flipping in front of Frank.
Frank stood there his fists clenched up, determination flowing through his cold eyes.
"Oh! Roxy!"
Roxy whipped around bringing her attention to the voice who called her, but was only fooled when Frank kicked her in the back sending her flying against a lunch table.
Jack quickly sprung from his seat anger suddenly pulsing through his body, before he could take a step, Jake held out his crutch in front of him blocking his path. The brunette gave Jake a confused look.
"Jack, I'm sorry but Roxy needs to do this on her own whether you like it or not, she is not gonna give up this fight and she's definitely not going to let you fight it for her. Trust me."
Jack looked away from Jake in the direction of the prideful blonde girl who was slowly grabbing onto the edge of the table and pulling herself off from the ground. He then looked back at Jake nodding in agreement taking his seat again, watching the scene unfold before his eyes.
Roxy got up her hands still clutching the lunch table as she twisted around, finding Frank staring at her with an evil smirk. He then went into fighting stance implying he was ready for anything the blonde girl threw at him.
Though, Roxy wasn't.
She couldn't do this.
She looked around all eyes on her and shocked faces. She couldn't do this any longer unless she wanted unveil her secret.
She let go of the table and bowed to Frank putting her hands together. "I'm sorry Frank I can't fight you."
Frank cocked an eyebrow confused, "Why's that?"
She just shook her head, whispering to herself. "You don't wanna know."
Roxy then stocked over slinging her backpack over her shoulder and making her way out of the cafeteria, letting out a big sigh of relief once, the doors shut behind her.
She quickly stalked off to her locker deciding to get her books and head to class early, to get in some extra study time. She quickly dialed in her combination and flung open her locker, as she shuffled through her books a voice spoke up. A familiar voice she wasn't in the mood to hear.
"That little show in the lunchroom? Was that your big secret?"
Roxy turned around a little confused by how calm Kim's voice was. She expected her voice to be icy cold, it was more distant though almost like the other half a Kim wasn't there.
"Jack's been teaching me, Kim it's no big deal." Roxy stated smoothly her eyes staring blankly up at the blonde cheerleader.
Kim scoffed rolling her brown eyes, "Really? Why did you have to hide it from everyone except for Jack and Jason? And you're always disappearing! I don't get it? And Jack wouldn't be able to teach you gymnastics in that amount of time!" The blonde lashed out on the last part.
She didn't mean to be mean or look like a bitch, but she was sick and tired of Roxy always being able to weasle her way out of her own lie and every question thrown her way.
Roxy crossed her arms over chest and raised her eyebrows. "First, of all before I moved here I did gymnastics for six years. Jack offered to teach me martial arts since I couldn't afford it and Rudy would be too busy to help me. The reason why I disappear so much is because, my Dad works two jobs ever since my mom died in a car crash when I was eleven. Ever since then I've been having to take care of myself while, my Dad paid the bills so now I'm at home every night cleaning and doing homework. And I never told anyone anything because I hate pity and I always avoid talking about my life at home no matter what and Jason was a friend from the past who's back in my life now. Now if you're done interrogating me, I would like to go and study a bit before class. Bye, now."
Roxy slammed her locker and walked away from Kim leaving her dumbfounded and guilty all at the same time.
"SEAFORD!"
"S-E-A-F-O-R-D!"
"Come on! Scream and shout! Everyone!"
"KILLER WHALES!"
The Gym full of students screamed along with the Cheerleaders who were currently doing freestyle tumbling and jumps out onto the Gym floor to start their Pep Rally. Roxy was currently trying to block out the screams and whistles echoing throughout the huge Gym full of more than a thousand teenagers as she helped Jason get through the crowded bleachers with his crutches and take a seat next to Jack.
"Hey guys! Where've you been?" Jack greeted along with Eddie, and Milton while Jerry just stargazer at the cheerleaders.
Roxy took a hold of Jason's hand smiling shyly as a deep blush rose onto her pale cheeks. "Uh...we were just talking...nothing special..."
"Mmmhmmm." The boys all hummed simultaneously.
Roxy just looked away blushing widely as Milton and Eddie both punched Jake in the arm smirks across their faces, as Jack gave Jake a very proud nuggy!"
Laughing Jake shook the guys off, "C'mon guys! Get a girlfriend and leave me alone!"
Eddie replied, "We'll, it's not as easy as you think Jake. You have Roxy and every girl in the Freshman class want Jack."
"Hey! That's not true!" Jack snapped, a look of disbelief filling his face.
Eddie rolled his eyes at the oblivious brunette, "Whatever, man."
Roxy snorted at Eddie, "Eddie, it doesn't even matter, 'cause first of all Jack isn't a player and second of all he likes Kim."
Oh crap.
"What the hell? I can't believe you just told every-!"
"Jack! Calm down we all, already knew!" Milton snapped interrupting Jack from his little temper tantrum on Roxy.
Roxy and Jack both looked at each with wide eyes before looking back at the guys. "You did?"
Eddie rolled his eyes turning towards the two, "No duh, your flirting during your sparring matches makes it obvious."
"Also, what happened the other day when you almost kissed Kim in the Dojo." Milton piped up in his matter-of-factly tone.
"And I will never forget when you kissed her for no complete reason in detention the first day Roxy came." Jerry interrupted a smirk spreading on his lips.
Jack looked around at all his friends giving him the, 'Dude, you're whipped'look.
He pouted childishly, "I hate all of you."
Everyone rolled their eyes at the brunette bringing their attention back to the Pep Rally going on.
As Jake watched the Pep Rally go on and on, he couldn't help but feel he was forgetting something that was important but shrugged it off.
Suddenly, the Gym went dark and a shriek was heard that echoed throughout the whole Gym.
That's when Jake's eyes grew wide. He remembered...a little too late...
He then stopped talking for a moment looking like he was contemplating his words, but finally spoke, "Oh...and the message is, is to watch your back this week, especially at the Pep Rally. 'Cause now the Black Warriors are officially back in, business."
A/N: Hey guys! I know this isn't my usual length or my usual best but as I said in Author's Note above I have been having some writer's block and I am doing shorter chapters for now until my homework goes down. Please, read the Author's Note above if you didn't and please review! Thank you!=)
