Chapter 20 : Fight

"What!?" I exclaimed, not caring about the place I was staying right now.

Without responding anything, she dragged me along with her gripping my arm and I didn't resist her either as the curiosity got the best of me.

Are they fighting? For me?

Holy freaking God! I've never seen them fighting. NEVER EVER!

she loosened the grip when we got closer to a crowd which has formed in the locker room and motioned me to go there as she ran towards somewhere, mouthing at me "I'll go find Ryan."

I just stood there, taking a deep breath before approaching the crowd slowly as my heartbeat increased each and every second when I heard the frantic screams, cursing words and shocked gasps that were coming from the crowd.

When I pushed people to make my way through the crowd and get a better view of what was happening, most of the students moved aside and let me go which seemed to be extremely weird.

I moved further ignoring the whispers which were rising from the crowd and gasped inaudibly when I witnessed the scene that was happening right infront of me.

Jace punched Samuel under his jaw which made him wince and stumble backwards. Samuel didn't do anything other than leaning against the wall and steadying himself.

I noticed Samuel's neck has bruised and his lips have swollen which meant Jace was having the upper hand right now.

"You. Are. In. Big. Trouble." Jace said through his clenched teeth and punched Samuel straight on the nose and the blood started to ooze out of his nose. Samuel sniffled, wiping the blood off of his nose and kicked Jace on his knee not so roughly.

Oh God! What have Samuel actually done? I really wanted to know now.

Natasha was standing across me a few feet away and almost crying at Jace to let Samuel go but he seemed to be pissed off and not have the sane mind to listen anyone right now.

"Jace stop it.. please.." Natasha begged but she wasn't moving closer to them to stop the fighting and when Samuel suddenly started to cough, all the anger I had on him shifted to Jace as he didn't want to be like this for whatever reason.

But.. didn't Louise say that they're fighting for me?

"Man.. I didn't give you the right to invite my blood, did I?" Samuel grunted, but there was an amusement in his voice.

Isn't he mad at Jace?

"Hey, they're fighting because of you I guess. Do something." A random girl who was standing beside me nudged me and before I could do something to stop their fighting, Ryan appeared out of nowhere and tried to pull Jace back but he wasn't moving an inch from his spot.

"I think that's enough, man. He's your bestfriend for God's sake!" Ryan said pointedly and Jace's icy stare was fully focused on Samuel as he hissed. "He's not my bestfriend anymore."

Samuel leaned his head on the locker and snorted. "Stop being a dramatic ass Jace. Tash is your girlfriend, not her. So why are you so bothered about this?"

"Just because she's not my girlfriend doesn't mean you can do this fucking thing to her." Jace yelled, gripping his collars and Ryan was standing beside them, sighing loudly.

"Oh c'mon! I'm just giving a fair warning to everyone so they would not waste their time with her?" Samuel's swollen lips smirked slightly and I heard most of the boys in the crowd agreeing with him by cheering loudly.

Jace clenched his fist and about to punch on his face but swiftly Samuel tilted his head and Jace winced slightly as his fist contacted with the steel locker.

I bit my lower lip, not knowing what to do and suddenly Ryan looked at me and then at beside me and communicated with that person through his eyes for a couple of seconds which made me look at the person to know who it was.

"Lou?" I hissed. "When did you come? And what's happening here? What are they ta-"

"We need to go. Right now." she said hastily, ignoring my questions and held my forearm. I glanced at her in confusion and then at them as I couldn't understand what was happening around me.

"Why? Can't-"

"You don't deserve this Jessie. Even to be heard." Louise whispered somehow sadly and she was looking all over my face except my eyes.

"Sam, stop being an ass and just apologize." Ryan groaned but Samuel rolled his eyes.

"God! So now y'all are ganging up on me huh?" he scowled, turning his head to Natasha's side."Tash.. you tell me, was what I did wrong?"

She licked her lips, looking at Samuel and Jace back and forth as if she was arguing with her mind right now and suddenly locked her eyes with mine.

"You better ask her." she muttered, pointing at me and everyone turned their gazes towards me which wasn't unusual at this point as I was being used to it. My eyes were only focused on Jace and when he met my gaze, his eyes softened.

"Oh! She's here for the whole time?" Samuel asked in surprise, coughing a bit.

Without thinking anything, I approached Jace and looked up at his face. I realized he was beaten up too as there was a livid bruise under his right eye and his lips were busted. The lips I kissed. Not now Jessica. And then I glanced at his badge which has pinned on his collar and written 'School Head Prefect' on it. He and I both knew that this action could lead to lose his badge.

"What's going on?" I whispered and he backed away from Samuel which made the people groan in disapproval.

Sadistic people!

"N..Nothing.. Why are you here.." he peeked a glance at me and sighed exasperatedly, wiping his hand over his face and gripped the collar of Samuel's. "How could you do like this? HOW COULD-" he punched Samuel continuously, yelling. "-YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HER?"

"Jace stop!" I gripped the back of his shirt while Ryan was gripping his arm and trying pull him back, warning.

"Jace I swear to God if Mr.Henderson found it, you're the one who's revealing the matter and make it widely known." and that made Jace stop but I guess it was too late as we heard the familiar shout from our principal, Mr.Henderson.

Oh Crap!

Everyone let him come towards us and we all just stood utterly dumbfounded while Jace was standing behind me and Samuel was trying to stand properly.

"Well kids, before you fight in the locker room, what you should do is break the camera of locker room and look up and notice whether there was a window for principal to see what was happening in the locker room." Mr.Henderson faked smile, crossing his arms over his chest and that made me shiver slightly.

"Jace Parker and Samuel Collins! At my office! Right now!" he stressed, glaring at us and turned on his heels, waving his hands to the students to leave. "Shoot off kids."

Everyone groaned in protest nevertheless they returned back to their works, gossiping mostly about this fight and walked past me.

"Cruel world." Jace muttered while Samuel was grunting. "She's not worth for my bruises."

Then they both slowly followed him behind and suddenly Mr.Henderson turned around and stared at me.

"Miss Woods, I'll call you right back." he said, leaving me open-mouthed and the three of them disappeared from my sight in the wink of an eye but I didn't fail to notice the apologetic look Jace gave me before leaving the place.

Me? Why? What did I do?

Actually what was happening here?

Ryan muttered something to Natasha and went where they had gone while Natasha was staring at me somehow.. guiltily? But I ignored it and turned to look at Louise.

"Lou, what's happening here?" I frowned and she sighed, shaking her head.

"I'm sorry Jessie.. I can't."

"What do you mean by you can't? Are they really fighting because of me? Then tell me what's the reason? I really want to know." I whined but she gulped not replying anything. "Tell me! Please.."

"Jessica.." someone called behind me and I turned to look at Sarah, my ex-bestfriend and I frowned at her as I wasn't in the mood to bear the victorious dance of hers.

"Look Sar-"

"Did you do anything to Sam?" was the first question she asked.

"Huh?"

"I mean, did you make him angry or something which made him take revenge on you?" Sarah asked and I recalled yesterday's incident.

Be ready to face the consequences Jessica Woods!

"Uh, Why?" I asked at the same time Louise said. "Sarah, stop."

I turned to Louise and gave her a puzzled look. "Why Lou? What the hell are you trying to do? Tell me what's the reason or keep your mouth shut and let her tell."

Louise sighed exaggeratedly and the way they both glanced at each other started to make me nervous.

Seriously what was the matter? I hoped God, it shouldn't something which made me regret for what I've done yesterday eventhough Jace wouldn't involve in fights unless it was serious.

"When I headed to the locker room, I approached Natasha to ask where Ryan was but she was busy in stopping the arguement of Jace and Samuel.." Louise paused and glanced at me. "The heated argument only ended up here."

"Why are you omitting things?" I asked confused and glanced at both of them who were sighing. "What's the freaking reason for their arguement?"

"You." Sarah said shortly.

"What did I do? Just elaborate."

"Well.." Natasha showed up out of nowhere and began. "You slapped him and for the revenge he showed a nude picture of yours which was kinda nasty that he took when you had sex with him on the party and told everyone that you aren't so worthy and you had hair all over your body and flat tits." She concluded and Louise huffed while Sarah and Leah, who was the bestie of Natasha, shaking their heads discouraged.

My brain took good five seconds to process what she had said right now and when it did I shrieked. "What!?"

My picture of being naked? And when on earth did I have sex with him?

"Jessie, don't freak out. We know it's a lie." Louise mumbled, rubbing my back soothingly.

"Yeah, Jace enlightened everyone." Leah too nodded assuringly but the tears threatening to spill from my eyes when I recalled the gazes the guys and girls threw at me before leaving the place.

"Everyone knew it?" I asked quietly and Natasha shrugged while the others remained quiet.

Oh Dear Lord!

"Don't worry Jessica. What he had done was wrong but you shouldn't have let him take pictures of you when you're naked because everyone knows who Sam is, especially you. Okay you both had sex on the spur of the moment but at least you should've shaved your hair in your.. you know?" Natasha stated and I cringed.

"What are you talking about? I didn't have sex with him. And it's not MY picture."

"You sure? Because the skin tone and.."

"Can you stop sticking your nose in other's business? Please?" Louise said faking a smile and before Natasha could reply something, our principal announced.

"Ms.Woods, report to my office right now."

My whole body started sweating and I don't think I could handle this by myself. Natasha gave us a smug grin, flicking her hair.

"Don't expect Jace would save you there too." and with that she walked away with Leah, whispering something.

Cruel World!

Hey Lovely Readers!

I don't want y'all to wait so long that's why I updated a bit quickly with a short chap, I guess.

So.. anything you want to say?

*Sigh exaggeratedly* Poor Jessica. That's the only phrase I could say.

And if I were her I would've already killed myself and freed out of this cruel world.

Anyways, I love y'all way too much. So do your comments.
