The Chosen Son

Chapter 12

So I turned and had my back facing the locker and I notice mark do the same. I sat down and tie my shoes as a load group of boys came in and started changing a few lockers down. Some of the boys looked familiar, but one in particular caught my eye. In the middle of the group was David Canton, the banker's son and Jane's secret boyfriend. He was tall, but not as tall as myself, he has some muse mass, but nowhere near as much as mine. I felt myself smirk in satisfaction at the comparison. The coach called us all out and instantly started making us do lapse as the girl group of girls joined us moments later.

I didn't want to look at them because I knew Jane was in the group and I'm sure she would be pissed that I was here. After, doing stretched we stood around waiting for the girls to get done and the coach started pairing up everyone one girl and one guy. I groaned at the realization that this fun class was about to be ruined by me having to deal with Jane, as mark was paired with Tiffany and one guy started bitching about it which caused me to glare at him as he stood next to David Canton

"coach I'm always partner with Tiffany, why are you changing things" the boy said in a snotty tone

"its non of your business what I do, Mr. Eden" he shouted at him, as I laughed out aloud that got me a few looks and glares from the Eden and David boy

"Mr. River you will be with Jane" he shouted out as I could see David start walking toward the coach

David backed away from as Jane was saying something to him quietly as he glared at me. I couldn't even attempt to hide the smirk on my face which pissed him off even more. Mostly I thought it was funny that he tried to threaten telling Dante which would basically get him killed. The coach yelled to get with partners as I looked around and realized we were going to be playing tension as everyone started walking to the equipment and heading toward the courts. Jane stood next me clearly angry about the situation, but it just made me feel better because I was causing them irritation.

We were partnered up with mark and Tiffany which was good because at least that made her actually happy as they stood chatting at the rope fence thing and me and mark hit the ball to each other. It was actually nice to just play around doing nothing really, but of course it all had to be ruined. I was laughing at Mark running after a ball when I was hit hard in the side of the head by a tennis ball. I grabbed the side of my head as the loud ring in my ear from the impact of the ball started I throw down the racket as I heard Mark shouting something. I looked up after a few seconds as my anger flared, and I wanted to beat whoever did that to a death.

I looked around to see mark walking ferrous toward a laughing David and could see Eden laughing as well. Their partners looked confused and clearly unsure about what had happened. I felt my entire body heat up with rage as I started walking toward the laughing David about to murder the stupid boy for his actions. I felt two small hands wrap around my arm and pull me. I looked back to see Jane looking freaked out trying really hard to stop me

"River don't, please don't, he doesn't understand I will explain to him, please don't go over there" she said pleading as I just looked at her then over to mark where Tiffany was trying to stop hims, I could hear David still laughing in the background which enraged me more
