Leon and Nancy were standing at the walkway talking. Jason was watching them from the balcony with Peter like a spy.
" Okay, you need to stop spying on them" Peter said
" I'm not spying on them.... I'm spying on Nancy"
" Seriously"
" How would I know her likes and dislikes if I don't spy on her."
" The way other guys that are normal and are not loosing their minds do"
" How?"
" Going after the girl they want"
" How will I go after her if I don't know her likes and dislikes"
" Okay, you're running mad. The Jason I know isn't like this, he's always bold. The Jason I know will walk up to the girl he wants and talk to her"
" Well, that's different. Nancy is different from those other girls"
" Oh really"
" Yes, Nancy is very straight forward. She knows what exactly she wants, she's just different from other girls"
" When did you start liking her?"
" Ummm"
" Don't tell him it was last months when she slapped you at the beach party for trying to assault her"
" Yeah, it's like the slap was a love portion"
" Geez!, you need urgent treatment. She slapped you and wrongly accused you, you didn't touch her ass on purpose"
" I know but she ... She made me see her that day. I noticed the kind of girl she is"
" Which is?"
" The girl that's meant for me"
" Argh!, I'm not doing this with you. Let's go eat"
" Nope, not until 2"
" Why?"
" That's when she goes to eat lunch"
" So you have known her whole schedule already"
" Kind of"
" Okay, this is not like you .. wasting your time spying on her. Learning her daily schedule, what else will you do... Start stalking her?"
" That's might be a good idea, besides you also changed your behaviour when you met this new girl"
" Oh you mean ki..." His phone beeped
" It's Jenna, she wants to talk urgently" Pete said
" Yeah, yeah.. go on" Jason said
" Don't do anything stupid"
" Sure" Jason said and Peter left
Jason looked closer at them and he saw Leon holding Nancy hand violently and she tried to break free but he was stronger than her. Without having any second thought, Jason sprang into the scene. He pushed Leon away from her as he got there.
" Are you okay?, did he hurt you?" Jason asked facing Nancy as he noticed the scar on her hand
" What's your problem?" Leon asked and Jason faced him
" She was in pain and you still didn't let her go" Jason said
" And how is that your issue, she's my girl and I can do whatever I want with her as far as she's not complaining" Leon said and Jason scoffed
" Even if she's your girl you don't have the right to treat her like this" Jason said noticing other scars
" Oh, so you've turned to her lawyer or human right activist" Leon said
" Apologize" Jason said with an intimidating face
" You got to be kidding me" Leon said about to leave but Jason held him back
" I'm fucking serious, apologize now" he said with a straight face
" You're crazy" Leon said pushing him off
" Didn't you hear I said apologize" Jason said as he got hold of Leon's hand and bent it
" Hey, you mad or what!" Leon yelled angrily giving him a punch in his face
" If you care so much about this useless girl why not just date her" Leon said
" Useless?, did you call her useless?" Jason asked angrily
" You aren't deaf"
" Realest yourself" Jason said throwing a punch at him too and they got into a fist fight
Leon was stronger due to his workout for baseball and all but Jason also was strong as he also works out.
" Stop it!, just stop" Nancy said and Jason left Leon
" Don't worry, I'm here now. I won't allow him to hurry you"
" Oh just stop. Who gave you the right to interfere in our matter?."
" But he's hurting you"
" Did I tell you that?"
" I just saw him..."
" Saw him do what, hold my hand?... Where you spying on us?"
" No, I mean I just saw you two from a distance and ...."
" He was looking at the wound on my hand that I got from training, that's all. Next time I would really prefer if you just mind your business"
" You aren't the type of girl to go through all this for a guy that doesn't worth your love. You're a kind of person that stands up for herself no matter what, even if you are mistaken sometimes but you'll never allow a guy to treat you like this. Why are you enduring his behaviour and attitude?, it's not like you"
" Well guys you were wrong about me then, this is who I am and what I do isn't your business so please you've done enough" she said
" You coming?" Leon asked her as he turned to leave and she followed him
" You know you always like to make a fuss out of things" Kiara said coming out of hiding
" What do you want?" Jason asked
" You look like you were badly beating" Kiara said chuckling
" You're here to make jest of me, good. Laugh all you want" Jason said about to leave but Kiara held him back
" Let me stitch you up" she said and he looked at her confused and sat him down
" You really want to go back looking like this, you'll be all over the news and I think I have a good headline for that. Breaking news, the school number one playboy got thrashed by the abusive boyfriend and heartbroken by the enduring supportive girlfriend. How is that?" She asked as she brought out a wool and spirit from her bag.
" Why would you have that in your bag?" He asked as she helped him apply it on his wound
" Just In case, for cases like this" she said and he held her hand
" I want the truth" he said
" I can get injured anytime, that's why. Not every girl is getting abused you know" she said and he sighed out loud
" You should try to ask her about it when she's calm and not in situation when her boyfriend is getting punched by a nobody"
" Nobody?"
" I mean you're a nobody to her for now"
" Forever"
" Don't tell me you've given up"
" She might be right, I might not really know her for who she is"
" You think, you've seen her inside and out. You basically stalk her everyday"
" How do you know?"
" Let's say I'm kind of jobless and I notice things easily"
" So you've been stalking both of us"
" No, I'm not that jobless"
" Well, it doesn't matter now"
" It does, there's something that would make a person like her endure this much"
" You don't even know her"
" I actually do, she's my ex boyfriend cousin best friend sister's boyfriend cousin friend...."
" That's a long chain"
" Yeah it is"
" So does Nancy knows you"
" Nope, I don't think so. I only saw her once but I've heard a lot about her from Dylan. He's really fond of her, you know they're both athletic"
" Oh, that's good"
" Listen, I don't know what to say to you right now.... Just don't jump into the scene trying to be superman and hitting her boyfriend in front of her and putting her in a tight situation"
" It wouldn't have happened if Peter was with me"
" Where did he go?, he's mostly with you"
" He got a message from Jenna, something urgent .... I don't know"
" Oh, that's good"
" Peter bring Peter"
" Yeah, you're good to go now"
" You busy?, we could grab lunch together"
" I woul have but I got a date"
" Oh, good luck then"
" Thanks, and don't try to be superman"
" Sure" he said and they parted ways
At the baseball game, the other opponents were already in the stadium but Leon was nowhere to be found.
" What's wrong?" Coach asked
" I heard Leon is in the infirmary, he got injured" one of the guys said
" Alright then, you'll just have to play without him then" the coach said
" Play without our captain?, it's our first game in this competition... Playing without our captain is not really an option" the asst.captain guy said
" Coming from an asst. Captain, really?. You are the teams hope now" the coach said
" Without Leon we are short of players"
" Than find a player" coach said
" What's going on?" Tyler asked as he noticed the team panicking
" Leon is injured and we need one more player"one of the team mate said
" Oh, good luck then" Tyler said about to leave
" You, you're in" Leon said to Tyler as he walked in
" Me?, I'm just here to watch that match" Tyler said
" You heard your captain, you're in" Coach said
" But..."
" No but Tyler, you're our team's last hope. Prove to them that you still got the family legend in you" coach said and Tyler said
" Yes coach" he said
" You better not disappoint me" Leon said
" I won't" Tyler said collecting Leon jersey
The game started and the team were getting use to the new kid. Tyler wasn't just good at the game but also good at coordinating his teammate, they won their first game as Tyler made the last score.
Kiara who never had the intention of meeting up with Kelvin bumped into him on her way home.
" Hey, it's you" he said
" Are you stalking me?" She asked jokingly
" No, I didn't know you would be here. You said you were having family dinner or something" he said
" Yes, it got cancelled." Kiara lied
" So, now that you're here why don't I show you around"
" I'm actually in a hurry"
" Oh, okay. How about I get you an ice cream real quick"
" I'm fine"
" Okay, guess I'll see you in school then" he said about to leave
" Wait" Kiara said
" There's nothing I want to do at home anyways, I'll take the ice cream" she said
" Good, I'll lead the way" he said smiling
" Do you always do this?" She asked as they walk
" Do what?"
" Smile"
" No, just when I'm with someone special"
" Okay"
" What about you?"
" What happened to me?"
" Do you always walk home?"
" No, I was actually heading to cyma place. It isn't far from school that's why"
" Oh okay. It's good to have a best friend, mine died two years ago"
" Cyma isn't.... Forget it. I'm so sorry about your best friend"
" It's fine, she just dated the wrong person"
" Wrong person?"
" Yeah, she dated Peter Simon and it cost her her life "
" Wait, is your best friend Cynthia?"
" Yeah, you must have heard about her"
" Yes, but I don't think Peter is responsible"
" That's because you don't know him, I do"
" It's just...."
" Forget about that matter, here" he said handing her the ice cream
" Thanks" she said but she was still not satisfied with the way that discussion ended.
" You got some here" he said cleaning the ice cream off her lip slowly and their eyes lock. Kiara knew what was coming next, as they stared at each other's eye but she wasn't ready to put a stop to it especially if it would help her stop thinking about Peter and Jenna. Within sone seconds, he pinned his lips to hers
