Butterfly Chapter 4

(Buttercup's P.O.V)

I felt sweat on every part of my body. Even my hair was drenched in it.

When I had gotten to the Gym, I had found out that Butch had the same class with me, which was extremely fine. I was thrilled when the couch had told us that the girls would go against the boys in a soccer match.

I was relieved when I saw none of my teammates were frilly, girly, girls like Bubbles or Blossom. We had gotten into the game a while ago, and was pleasantly surprised that the boys didn't go easy on us at all, in fact they were really rough, but none of us complained about it. It made me feel equal, although all of that disappeared when I saw that a LOT of my players were out because of injury.

I had been named captain after coach had seen me doing warm-ups with the rest of the girls, and I didn't exactly like it when the boys hurt my girls. I know it wasn't the right thing to do, but they hurt my teammates, so I hurt a lot of Butch's (he was captain of the boys team) players as well. His face was deep red after he saw my stunts, but nonetheless still smirked at me when I ran down the field and scored a goal.

I couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen, he smiled so knowingly at me that it sent shivers up my spine, but not the kind of shivers I normally got when he would smile at me, those were pleasant, but these? Oh no. I tried to ignore it as much as possible, but it started to effect my game, I started to notice that all of a sudden, I lost the ball even when nobody was trying to steal it from me, I stumbled, I always missed the ball when I kicked, and on the rare occasion I DID kick the ball, it would end up missing it's target wildly, plus I couldn't dribble correctly, and my frustration was getting the best of me.

At last the game ended with Butch's team winning, and I went straight for the showers. The other girls were smart not to question me how I went from so good to so bad quickly, even the coach could see I was about to break something! After I finished changing, I wasn't hesitant to burst into the boys bathroom, eyes closed tightly, using my super-sensitive ears to find my unfortunate target.

I stalked up to Butch in an intimidating way . I peeked one eye open and after I made sure he was wearing clothes, I fully opened both eyes and tried not to focus on his glistening eyes or shaggy wet hair, but instead tried to keep cool. I would be calm, nice, and sweet. Like Bubbles.

Ha.

"WHAT THE FRICK, YOU DAMN CHEATER!" I yelled so loud all the boys scattered outside except for Butch, who stood as calmly as if I had just said a small hello to him.

"What's wrong Buttercup? Are you upset because you lost to us superior boys?" I knew he said this jokingly, teasingly, but I couldn't tell if I heard a hint of harsh sarcasm in it or not.

"Superior? What are you talking about! You cheated! You knew your constant knowing smirks and looks would get inside my head and effect my playing." I pointed at my head and spat the words in his face.

"It's not cheating if I shoot you smiles and stare at you, you just made the illusion that I was planning something, you let it effect how you play, and that's not my fault." he said this calmly and rationally, but by the mischievous twinkle in his eye, I knew he had used this strategy on others before. I couldn't help but a feel a bit of respect for this green-eyed boy.

"Uh-huh, sure. I'll let your excuse slide this time, but you pull something like that on me again, I'll make sure you won't be able to have children when I'm done with you. And I live up to my threats."

His face paled slightly, and I smiled cutely. I went on my tip-toes and whispered in his ear "I'll meet you right after school by my motorcycle."

I smiled when I felt him shiver underneath my hands. And at the blink of an eye, I was 2 feet away from him, and I could almost feel disappointment rolling off of him. I was so thankful he didn't notice my inhumanly speed, Blossom would have ripped my head off if she had seen the risky stunt I just did.

I could only faintly hear him mutter, "Bye Butterfly."

That nickname made me stop immediately, my face turned as pale as a ghost no doubt. As I slowly turned around to face him with a terrified look on my face. I twiddled my fingers as my voice shook, "Butch, I'm kind of…scared of butterflies."

Butch didn't start to roll on the ground laughing like everyone else did when I told them, but instead just let out a low, throaty chuckle and said, "All the more reason to call you that.

(Blossom's P.O.V.)

Me and Brick passed notes all period, and he even offered to walk me to my locker! We ended up spending the whole day together, even meeting up after the classes we didn't have together and walking each other to others. I knew better than to fall for a boy too fast, so I tried my best to stop staring at him, resist the urge to touch him, resist the urge to run my fingers through his hair, and try not to let his words make me shiver so much.

"Hey Red, what's with Bubbles?" Brick whispered breathily into my ear. I loved when Brick called me Red, he had made that up for me a while ago, and I liked it a lot. But although I knew it was pretty innocent, I couldn't help but think the smirk on his face was because of the shiver that ran up my spine when he said that to me. I glanced at Bubbles, she had gotten the locker on the other side of the hallway, so she was fairly close, but she had this nervous, panicked look on her face. Her fingers were messing up her combination since she was trying to open it as speedily as possible. I looked up at Brick.

"Not sure. Do you think it had anything to do with Boomer?" I questioned, if something happened between my sister and that boy, I wanted to know. No, I needed to know. Now.

"Boomerang? Trust me, he's innocent in anything like that, Butcher? Not so much." I nodded, but took time to ask,

"What about you Mr. Red Eyed Wonder? Are you innocent in that department?"

His face flushed as soon as I had asked, but once he opened his mouth, Boomer came speeding down the hallway towards us. Or I should I say me.

"What did I do Bloss?" He panted and breathed hard from running, but what surprised me was when he called me Bloss, he even looked surprised at that. He had said it like it was his 2nd nature to do so! Though I knew I really didn't have a problem calling him Boomerang, it still shocked me.

"W-What do you mean?"

"Bubbles! When I tried to talk to her, she just blushed and hid whatever was in her arms and ran the other way!" His voice sounded so concerned and he was so fidgety, I actually felt some form of pity for him.

"Actually, me and Brick were just talking about that. But I really have no clue why she would be acting that way, sorry." I patted his shoulder in sympathy when he slouched. I could easily see Brick scowling at the contact. I hid my smirk behind my hair and quickly reached up and stole Brick's red cap from on top of his head!

I took the moment of shock from Brick and zoomed through the hallways, while placing his hat on my own head. I knew he was close behind me, so I ran all the way out of the school on to the lawn. Although I was only halfway across it when I could feel Brick's strong arms close around my waist.

We both fell to the ground laughing so freely and carelessly, I loved every moment of it! Brick rolled us over, so that I was under him and he was on top of me, I blushed when he stole his hat back to put it on top of his own jumble of hair again. Before he put it on though, I ran my fingers through his fire-red locks, he looked so shocked by my movement, even though truth be told, so was I. I stopped when his hair looked halfway decent, than snatched the cap from his frozen hands and crushed his hair with it. He smiled and tried to desperately hide his blush from me by tipping his hat to cover his eyes. I decided that I if I already liked this boy so much already, why not take a small risk? I slowly reached up and softly kissed his flaming cheek. When I pulled back he had his eyes closed. But of course, school had to ruin our perfect moment when-

BBRRIINNGG!

Brick's blood-red eyes snapped open. He looked at me, then smiled apologetically when he realized he was still on top of me. He slowly lifted himself up, and took me by surprise when he lifted me up onto his back. I laughed out loud when he wordlessly went running into the building and skillfully avoided all the teachers until he dropped me by my locker to get my stuff. The next thing I knew, he had all of his stuff and the next moment had my stuff from out of my locker, then the next he had kissed my cheek!

"It's good to have super powers." he sighed, and then smiled softly at me.

My eyes bulged out of my head and I didn't even realize when I yelled, "YOU HAVE SUPERPOWERS? THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! ME AND MY SISTERS ARE THE ONLY BEINGS WITH SUPERPOWERS!"

Brick's mouth dropped and his eyes widened to a frightening length. He stumbled back and his brother's were beside him in a second, even though I could have sworn their lockers were on the other side of the school, next to his! While my sister were at either of my sides in a moment, B-cup's arms were crossed and Bubb's was playing with a lock of her hair nervously.

"Guess the cat's out of the bag?" she whispered softly.

Reviews are what keeps me writing! :]
