Buckley's POV
The moment I saw him walk into the gym, I knew that boy was trouble.
I COMPLETELY trust Onyx. I always have. I've never had any reason to doubt her. I've always been protective of her. My brother's always been protective of Ava.
"Bro relax! He's not gonna go after her! Go say something if it's bothering you that much."
"No. If I do that...I'll just put a target on her back. He'll know...I'm watching him and he'd use her to get to me. It'll only piss me off."
I put more deodorant on then put my shirt on.
Tanner walked up to us.
"Anybody know who I talk to about football?"
"Yeah. Mr. Swanson and me."
"You team captain?"
"Yep. That's me. Tryouts ended months ago so you might not get a spot on the team."
I might have to be on the same team as him?
That's not gonna go well.
"Yo. What's his problem?"
"He woke up on the wrong side of the bed. He's pretty cranky."
I nudged Steve.
"What? I'm assuming that's your problem."
I rolled my eyes.
"Sure. We'll go with that."
I walked up to Tanner.
"I'm gonna say this once. Touch my girl and I will ruin you."
I grabbed my things then went to the door. The bell rang and I walked out of the locker room. I found Onyx and Ava.
"Nyx? Stay away from the new boy. Something about him pisses me off. He's already on thin ice with me."
"I wasn't even planning on talking to him. You'll all I need. Don't worry."
"She doesn't even think, he's cute."
"Good girl. I'll see you later."
We headed in different directions because of where our classes are. My friend Dimitri ran up to me.
"I'll keep an eye on him when you're not around."
"Good. I don't have a good feeling about him."
"If you don't then I don't. I got your back."
"Hold me back if he does anything."
"I will."
