Avengers at high school chapter 3
1 month later after bomb incident
Harry POV
Dammit, we already have to go back to school this week. I guess it's already been one month. I sympathise with the people who had to clean up the school, but it was so worth it.
"Hey Harry you ready now?" Shouted mum
"Yep I'm leaving now." I replied
I walked out the door on the way to school. I just remembered something real bad. Shit Daniel is coming over from France to start school tomorrow.
I walked into the school gates bumping into Nathan and Brendan on the way. "Hey guys, I need to talk to you all at recess." They had a worried expression
"Don't worry it's nothing bad, actually it kinda is." I said
"Okay, I'll tell Tomi and Stella," said Nathan. The bell rung and we split off to our different classes.
At recess I sat at the usual table. "Hey guys, my cousin Daniel is moving in with me and he is starting school tomorrow. He is coming over from France."
"Cool, is he nice." Asked Stella
"He is not nice, he seems nice on the outside but when you get to know him it's a whole different story."
Suddenly there was a big commotion in the cafeteria. "Hey what's going on?" Asked Brendan
"I have no idea, let's take a look Stella" Said Tomi
They ran over to where there was a lot of talking. They came walking back with dazed looks on their faces, Stella was basically drooling. Oh shit I know that look.
"Oh my god, there is this really hot looking new guy over there." Tomi gushed
"No word would be able to describe him, you would basically have to make up a new word for him" Stella said
"What has gotten into you two girls?" Nathan asked
"That happened to them." I pointed over to my new cousin who was grinning walking over to me. "It's my cousin, he fucking came a day early."
"Harry babe, what up?" Daniel said strolling over to us
"Nothing much, how about you?" I asked
"Just checking out the new school." He replied
"Sure, more like checking out the new girls." I rolled my eyes, typical Daniel.
"True. So what's your name pretty little lady?" He said looking over at Stella.
"S-Stella" She stuttered
"May I please get a tour of the new school?" He asked
"S-sure." They walked off, with all eyes on them.
"This is going to be a disaster." I groaned
"Yep, he is definitely the new eye-candy. Nathan you're gonna have to work hard to keep up your popularity status." She winked at Nathan, he just rolled his eyes.
"Come on, just admit it. You're annoyed that you'll be the 2nd most popular boy in school." Tomi teased
"I am not." Nathan denied
The bell rang and we walked off to class. This year is going to be so tiring.
Stella POV
Oh my gosh, I just died then came back to life and then just died again. Daniel is the hottest thing that I ever laid eyes on. Giving him the tour is surprisingly not that awkward. "So Daniel, where are you from?" I asked nervously
"I'm from England but I've been living in France for five years." He replied casually
"Nice, what is living in France like?" I asked curiously
"Great, but it's so different from living over here in New York."
"Yeah I can imagine. So why did you move here?"
"My dad got promoted. We don't really see each other much, so I moved with him here hoping I'll be able to get to know him better."
"Oh that's sad. I hope you begin a better relationship with your dad." I said
"Huh, thanks."
So I'll take you to the office so you can get your new timetable. Seeming I showed you around I think you'll be able to find you way around easily. Any questions just ask me, or I guess Harry coz he's your cousin."
"Thanks a bunch."
We walked into the office and got his timetable. I peered at what classes he had and said "Hey you have a class with nearly every one of the group. You have history with me, Science with Tomi and Brendan. English with Carmen, good luck with that. PE with Harry and Nathan and technology with Tomi again. Tomi is really good at tech so if I was you I would want to be her partner. You'll get straight A's." I said
"Thanks for the tip, because I suck at technology." He said
"Oh yeah, Tomi and Brendan are freaks at science as well. Carmen and Lauren are freaks at PE, and Nathan, Brendan and Harry are really good at sport. Athena and Lauren are good at English. Anyway, I'll see you in history later."
"Ok I'll see you later."
I walked away just when the bell rang. Oh fuck I didn't do that English assignment, I'm screwed. I ran to my locker in a fluster.
Nathan POV
I walked to PE in an annoyed mood. The only thing I fucking here around this school is:
"Oh my gosh, that new guy is soooooo hot."
"Apparently he is Harry's cousin. Jeeze the good looks must run in the family."
And so on. It's all the girls talk about. When I walked into gym, I was greeted to a crowd of girls gushing over the new guy Daniel. Great, now I not only have to listen to the girls but him as well. I actually hate this guy. PE went on in a blur. We played soccer which I excel at, but the bad thing is so does he. The PE teacher actually recommended him for the soccer team.
This sucks like a bitch. I wonder what it's gonna be like for the rest of the month.
Stella POV
Oh my god, I can't bloody listen to my History teacher. I've been fantasising about Daniel and it doesn't help that Daniel is sitting next to me. Holy shit do I have a crush on him? Yeah, I think I do. I'll get to know him better before I really admit it after all Harry did warn us about him. I'll get Tomi to investigate further.
Daniel passed me a note when the teacher wasn't looking. It said "Hey do you want to go out this arvo?"
I smiled, god he's quick. I'll play it safe and say I'm busy. "Sorry, I can't. I've got cheer leading practice."
He raised his eyebrows at this. "Why don't you skip? Please for me?"
"One, I just met you. Two I am cheerleading captain. And three, I would never give up cheerleading for a guy I just met."
"Ouch." I scrunched up the note and threw it in the bin on the way out of class. I winked at him and walked towards my locker. This is going to get interesting. I wonder how the year will play out for us.
At cheerleading practice, we were practicing doing a human pyramid. And I can see the boys doing soccer practice, now that's gonna be a distraction. Suddenly one of the guys groaned below and the pyramid started shaking. I slipped and I started to fall, I shut my eyes waiting for the impact of the ground. But I didn't hit the ground I was caught by firm hands. I looked up to find Nathan.
Nathan POV
I walked over to go watch the cheerleaders. Then one of the guys collapsed at the bottom of the human pyramid and Stella began to fall from the top. It was like time went into slow motion. I began to run hoping that I'll catch her in time. No, it doesn't look like I'll make it. I pushed myself further and sprinted forward. I put my hands out and felt her land in my arms. Again it still felt like slow motion, her hair was still falling and went all over her face. Then time seemed to go back to normal.
It took us a few seconds to fully comprehend what just happened. "U-uh you alright?" I asked, I was still holding her bridle style.
"HOLY SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?" Stella screamed
"You know I don't actually know myself. I just saw you falling, and I ran for it." I replied
"Ok, you can put me down now. I think."
I carefully put her down on her feet. She wasn't steady so I put my hand around her waist to support her. "You alright, do you want me to take you to the nurses?"
"Please."
We suddenly realised there was a crowd of cheerleaders and jocks crowded around us looking at us with shock. "Alright move out of the way students let them pass." Said my soccer coach "Now Nathan, I don't know how you did that but have you ever considered trying out for the track team?" I gave him a death stare, was he really asking me this at a time like this? I walked past with Stella without answering. There was a lot of gossiping around us that said things like:
"Oh my gosh, did you see that? He ran really fast that was not even humanly possible."
"Wow, Stella is a lucky girl to be caught by the hottest guy in school. I wish I was her."
Things like that was being said around us. Well that will show up Daniel for a while. We walked towards the sick bay. I knocked on the door "Come in." Called Mrs Hibbets the school nurse. "What have we here? You look rather pale Stella."
"She just fell from the top of a human pyramid." I said
"And he caught me." She added "I just feel really dizzy from free falling.
"Yes I can imagine, go lie over there on the bed over there. Nathan you'll keep her company."
"What!" We both said at the same time. This old lady is nuts, I was gonna leave her.
"Well yes, stay with her. Because it's after school, you should take her home."
"Tch okay." I said
The nurse left the room leaving us alone. "So are you sure you're alright." I asked
"Yes I'm fine. Just a little dizzy, plus I would be much worse if you didn't catch me."
"I guess so."
"I haven't thanked you yet. So yeah thank you for catching me." She said. She was blushing, she's really cute when she blushes. Wait what was I just thinking. Shit I just thought she was cute.
"No sweat, you're my friend. Any other friend would have done the same thing."
"Hey, I know this sounds really weird but did it felt like we were going in slow motion?"
"Yeah when I was running, I didn't think I was going to make it in time but time seemed to feel slow. I guess the mind does that to you in those situations."
"I guess it does."
"Do you want me to take you home now?"
"Thanks but you don't have to if you don't want to. I'll just catch a bus home."
"That's ridiculous, I'll take you home."
She rose carefully from the bed and made sure she was steady. "Ok, thanks in advance." We called out to the nurse saying we were leaving. We jumped into my small black Ford. I turned up the radio, it was Drop it like it's hot by Snoop Dogg. Stella started to rap along and I joined in.
"You know you're not too shabby at rapping." She said
"Thank you, you're pretty good yourself." I said
I pulled up at Stella's house. "Well thank you again for taking me home and saving my life."
"Like I said no sweat."
"Ok, see you tomorrow at school. I bet you this is the hot topic at the moment." Stella rolled her eyes
"Yes, we'll see what the group says. See you." I sighed
She jumped out of the car and started walking up her front step. I waited for her to get inside before I leave. When she opened the door she turned back and waved. I nodded my head and drove off.
