Chapter 29
Mall High
"JEFF! SLOW DOWN!" Ivan Chavez yelled as they chased after him.
"Catch me if you can!"
"JEFF! WE AREN'T PLAYING GAMES WITH YOU!" Ivan Flores called out.
"Aww, come on."
"No," Ivan Chavez panted when they caught up.
"Okay, let's just go inside then."
"Good, but you have to stay with us," Ivan Flores scolded.
"FINE! God."
They walked inside and Jeff kept spinning in circles looking at all of the signs for the shops.
"What are you doing?" Ivan Chavez asked curiously.
"Look at all of these stores. They are all in one place."
"Yeah, that is why it is a mall."
"Really?"
"We should really get you home."
"NO! Look, it is Noah!"
"Jeff I don't think that it would be a good idea to talk to him," Ivan Flores tried to convince him, but Jeff kept walking towards Puck.
"HEY PUCKERMAN!"
"Not you again," the boy stated turning around.
"I have a bone to pick with you."
"If it is about Quinn, I don't want to hear it."
"Well that is too fucking bad cause you are going to listen."
"Big words coming from a runt like you."
"Fuck yeah, I am sexier and better than your ass."
"Wait, there is something different about you."
"Is it my confidence, because it has been here the whole time bitch."
"Glossy eyes, bad attitude. Are you high?"
"Fucking better believe it. That shit is amazing!"
"I didn't know that you smoked."
"I do hookah, and I work out now."
"Wow, hookah, that is bad ass," Puck said with sarcasm.
"Shut the hell up and get ready to fight."
"In the mall?"
"No, let's just walk outside together."
"Okay."
Jeff didn't waste any time and through the first punch, but Puck moved out of the way.
"See, you are still a looser."
Jeff launched a kick at Puck's legs and then a punch quickly after it. Surprisingly the punch actually landed on Noah's right cheek, and there was enough force behind it to cause his head to turn.
"You did it now."
Puck launched a false punch at Jeff's face, but used his other hand to punch him in the abdomen. Jeff lost his breath and took a few steps back.
"Like I said, still a looser."
"I… am….not…A LOOSER!" Jeff screamed launching at Puck and managed to pull him down to the ground. The two struggled and kept tossing all over the place.
"I WILL NOT LOOSE TO YOU AGAIN!" Jeff shouted pounding Puck's head into the carpet.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" Puck hollered as he pushed Jeff off and launched a final punch into his abs. Forcing Jeff down to the ground wheezing, "Now I am going home. You need to get a lot stronger in order to beat me."
"I…will…win," Jeff huffed, but he couldn't pull himself back up.
"Jeff, look what happened to you. We are never going to let you smoke hookah again," Ivan Chavez instructed.
"I want to go home."
"Okay, give me the keys. I will drive," Jeff gave Ivan Flores the keys and they walked out to the car.
