Yasmin pov
"There's no way I'm gonna tutor this jerk!"
Why me of all people? I'm sure there are students more intelligent than me but it still had to be me! I know Jake apologized but it's not my fault that I'm not free with him. I still hate him and he shouldn't expect me to trust him. I mean, how am I suppose to forget all those years he bullied me?
"You think I want you to tutor me?" Jake gave me the 'Are you serious' look.
"Miss Ahmad stop complaining and just tutor him, stop being selfish!" Mrs Sam said.
"I'm not selfish." I raised my hands up in defence.
"Then What do you call that?"
"It's called not caring about dumb jerks!" I replied glaring at Jake. "Which happens to be you!" I added.
"I don't care, you have a month to tutor him for the maths test so I suppose you stop complaining and stick to the job."
"Just stick to it and let's get this over with." Jake said in a bored tone.
"How about I stick it into your ass!" I spat and stormed out of the class.
I made sure that no one is in the comfort room before I went it.
Ugh! My eyebrows still has the freaking green paint on it.
I had to go to the girl's locker room to take a quick shower and I disposed my clothes into the bin. Good thing Khadijah had an extra top and Annabelle had some pants in her bag and as for my headscarf, I always bring extra scarf after going through worst situations for eleven years.
Thinking of pants, why the hell did she have extra pants. Well, Allah does his thing miraculously. When i got home, my family asked me why I look so green, I had to lie that I mistakenly tripped and i hit a bucket of paint, they gave me a confused face before they bought the lie.
One must have wondered why I lied instead of telling them the truth, maybe they could have helped me. But trust me, they will make it worst. So I better much prefer to just lie even though it isn't good to lie but Allah, forgive me.
I had to spend an hour in shower before I managed to scrape the darn thing which made me look like hulk. After all my efforts, my eyebrows are still green.
From nerd terrorist to nerdy hulk!
I checked my schedule and figured out that I have P.E class to attend.
Everybody has that one subject that he or she really sucks at......for me it's gym class.
I dragged myself to gym class alone, no Angela, Anna, Jason nor Khadijah. But wait! Jacob, he has gym class last period just like me but where am I gonna start searching for him.
"Hey Yasmin!" Speaking of the devil, Jacob passed his way through the crowd to meet me.
"Hey there mate!" I waved at him.
...........
"Sorry dear." Mrs John, the nurse said as she nursed my wound.
Flashback
"I can't fight her, she will crush me!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
Why wouldn't I shout, fighting with Sandra Rollins is the biggest mistake one could ever make. She is physically fit, with the abs and muscles and she's also huge. She has never lost to a match. Last time she fought a girl, the girl ended up in the hospital. I'm not talking of the school sickbay, I'm talking of a real hospital. The girl ended up been taken to the hospital with a stretcher because Sandra ended up breaking her leg.
I looked at Sandra, my eyes pleading for mercy but I doubt that the word 'mercy' is in her dictionary so I did what any sane person would do........Run!
I didn't even go far when she caught my headscarf and dragged me.
Stupid headscarf!
She held me tight that I actually taught that she is gonna crush me. She raised her hand up, clenched her fist, her lips form into a little smile and she punched me, right in the face.
I know that I'm definitely out.....
End of flashback
I'm really lucky that I ended up in the sickbay not the hospital. With few bruises, a black eye, bleeding nose and some cut on my lips, apart from that I'm all good.
.......
"Yasmin get on the field!" Ms Ramirez blew her whistle. I had met this woman and begged her to let me go. She saw the bruises on my face and what did she say?
"You should have fought like a woman, instead of running away."
Does she want to kiss my coffin or what?
Razmirez is the strictest P.E you have ever meet, not that you'd even want to. I mean let's face it, how many of you like P.E? Especially when the coach want you six feet below. If you don't do a 90 degree angle when you do a push up, she will make you do laps until your feet bleed. Just ask Bennett Johnson. He hasn't come back to school since last summer when Ms Ramirez asked him to do 200 push-ups when he had the nerve to open a bag of chips.
"Listen up!" She glared at each and every one of us. Today we will be doing some soccer practice. I'm good at soccer but this has no effect on my status in this school of injustice.
Mighty WonderYasmin!
Everyone started choosing his or her partner. We all knew who we wanted to team up with. Last year, I was with Angela. Fortunately, since Angela decided to go over the fence. I'm saved by Jason.
"Don't think you will get to choose your partners she sneered, "I will."
She was looking into our eyes, like some sort of intimidating technique.
Everyone groaned, still clinging to their choices.
"Michelle and Max."
"Marco and Cameron."
"Abby and Jordan."
"Fatimah and Kelvin."
..........
I have been waiting anxiously for my name to be called.
"And finally Yasmin and Jake."
Oh My Allah!!!
No this can't happen, first tutor and now teammate!
"Two teams will verse each other and the first teams are Marco and Cameron verses Yasmin and Jake." Ms Ramirez announced.
I mentally slapped myself, great now you are teamed up with your bully verses your bullies.
I went close to Jake, "Jake, could you stay in your lane while I stay in mine." I simply told him. " I'll handle them.."
"Look kid, I've got this covered." He said, not even taking a glance at me.
"Can you even kick?" He cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Excuse me?"
"Can you kick a ball?"
"Can I kick your balls?" I retorted.
Jake looked at me and smirked, "Okay l Are you good at soccer?"
I pretended to not hear him and tightened my shoe laces.
"I thought I asked you a question?"
"And I thought that I showed that I didn't need to."
"Why are you so....you?" He scrunch his nose in irritation.
I looked at him. "Just because I'm a nerd doesn't mean that I'm not athletic. There is no such thing as a girl's basketball or football team in this school. I'm probably the most athletic girl apart from Angela this school's got, so shut up and let me handle this."
"Wow! Girl power." He snorted a laugh.
"Just because you're a bully, my bully and the head of the football team doesn't mean that you should look down on others or treat them like a piece of shit like you do to me. So do me a favour, don't underestimate me!"
He ignored me and came up before the ball as I took his right. Marco and Cameron were talking to each other, their eyes pinned on Jake. Come on guys, spare me a glance!
I mentally roll my eyes at them ignoring my existence.
Ms Ramirez ear-piercing whistle rang throughout the field, making me snap out of my thoughts.
Suddenly, Jake passes the ball to me. With a smirk on his face, he folded his arms across his chest. Instantly, I knew what that move meant.
Prove it.
The guys were surprised by the pass and I too, but of course I was ready for it even though it took me by surprise. They looked at Jake trying to figure out what the hell just happened. I took the confusion to my advantage and passed them, dribbling the ball. They figured out what just happened and charged me. I bit back a grin, they've had a better chance of stealing the ball from Jake. Marco shot under me and I jumped over his leg as I slid on the grass to get the ball, taking the ball up the air with me. Then Cameron jumped in front of me trying to steal the ball from me. I twirled around him with the ball at me feet, then passed it to Jake.
It's bad to leave Jake unguarded.
He grinned when he got the ball and ran towards the unguarded net. Cameron and Marco looked dazed, not sure of what just happened. Just seconds ago, they were inches from the ball and now Jake had the ball. He turned to look at me, smirked at shot the ball.
Jake scored the goal but everyone in the benchers went silent even Ms Ramirez was silent. There weren't looking at Jake who scored the goal but me, Nerd terrorist, the girl who dared challenge two of the most athletic guys in the school. The girl who showed the guys how to play a ball like a child's game.
And God knows I'm enjoying the attention!
We went back to the middle of the field. Marco and Cameron were already short of their breath, their faces glistening in sweat but Jake and I barely worked off a sweat, looking like we did nothing. This time I stood in front of the ball and Marco and Cameron weren't looking at Jake, their eyes on me, glaring like lasers would shoot out of them.
Ms Ramirez blew her whistle and I passed it to Jake. They were ready and charged to Jake, leaving me open. Jake smirked when he saw that the guys were challenging him, they ran daring to steal the ball from him. Both of them tried to steal the ball from him at once, two against one. I wanted to call it off but I realised that the same thing happened to me so I watched. Jake kicked the ball into the air behind his back. Then he jumped over the guys using his hand to help him flip over the ground in a back flip. Then he landed back on his feet and started back to running, the ball landing on the ground right in front of him.
I couldn't help but think, dumbfounded. Cameron shook away from the gaze bound towards Jake, but he still had more tricks up his sleeve. He juked the ball from Cameron trying to steal the ball from him. Then Marco came up from behind but Jake maneuvered the ball from them and shot it to me. I easily trapped the ball and ran towards the goal.
As Marco was left to guard Jake from helping me, Cameron ran after me. But he knew he wouldn't reach me in time to steal the ball from me. Not that he would be able to, so he ran towards the goal to block my shot. I smirked as if that's going to help. I kicked the ball into the air, spotted a blind spot and shot it. Sure enough it flew past him, leading into the net.
No one cheered, the bleachers were silent once again. Everyone was speechless on what just happened. It was like I had come up with a theory to dribble the two idiot and scored.
"You fucking nerd!"
A huge force push me down and I was now on the ground. Cameron grabbed me by the collar of my P.E clothes, he punched me in the stomach. I groaned and curled into a ball. I looked up and saw Cameron and Marco's face twisted in anger and eyes full of disgust. Cameron kicked me hard to the side of my stomach, people started cheering even Ms Ramirez pretended not to care.
They kept punching and kicking me. I would have cried but I didn't, I'm used to this already. After a few kicks, their anger died down and they stopped to kick.
"Is that all you guys got, you hit like a girl!" I spat
Great Yasmin! You had to open your big mouth.
Marco lifted his leg ready to kick me, I closed my eyes waiting for his boots to collide with my stomach.
I heard a loud bang but I didn't feel any pain, I didn't feel anything. I opened my eyes to Jake holding his stomach, did he take the kick for me. The surprised look on everybody's face said it all.....he took the kick for me but why?
Why would he do that?
