Lexis pov
Where is Hudson?
Wren is coming back to school today- and TJ, LJ, and AJ are also no where to be found.
"Oh Alexis, it's been to long,"
Fuck fuck fuck
"Hey Wren, what's up?" I say uneasily
"Well.. Yknow," he says motioning to his dick
"You're an ass," I say opening my locker again
"Heard you and Camilla broke up- don't worry, being a dyke isn't a turn off for me,"
He gets closer to me and I shove him away.
"Back off,"
"Why? You broke up with Camilla,"
Someone grabs my hips from behind and picks me up to spin me around
Finally.
"Hey Princess," Hudson says kissing me "my mom made breakfast sorry I'm late,"
"It's fine," I say with a small smile
"Not going to introduce me Alexis?" Wren asks confused
"This is my boyfriend- Hudson, Huds, this is.."
"Wren Quintipacki- I know," he says putting a protective arm around my shoulder "you come near Lexi, I'll make sure you don't step foot in this school again,"
"You are a whore then aren't you?" He says to me
"What'd you just call my sister?" TJ asks finally showing up and shoving him into a locker
"Tony- stop it,"
"I called it how it is TJ," Wren says pushing him backwards
"Wren! Cool it, he's hurt for god sake," I say holding TJ back "back off, you're not making it any better for yourself- just leave me alone,"
"You sent me to prison,"
"You sexually assaulted me!"
"So what? You deserved it. And even so- you were begging for it like a little slut,"
Hudson punches him right in the face and a fight breaks out.
A whistle blows and all attention goes to my mom.
"Anyone still in this hallway in 5 seconds has detention for a week,"
People scatter quickly.
"Not you guys," she says stopping the 5 of us and Wren "what happened?"
"What do you think happened?" I ask "Wren was being an ass and he got punched,"
"Bitch," He hisses
"Rapist," Hudson shoots back
"BOYS! Enough," she says "Wren- go to the office, you know you're not allowed anywhere near Lexi,"
He leaves and she looks at Hudson and I.
"Well he was calling me names and bothering me and then TJ shoved him and he shoved TJ and he's still hurt so I told him to back off and then he said I deserved what he did to me so- Huds hit him,"
She clenches her jaw and sighs.
"As a your teacher and a coach at this school- do not hit other people, if I see it again I'll have to suspend you," she sighs at Hudson "but as your girlfriends mom- good job, I'll let your coach handle it cause he usually gives less of a shit about his job than I do believe it or not. Get to class,"
"Yes coach topaz,"
"Lexi, idiots wait up," she says
"Yes mama?" I ask
"First of all- you three don't leave Lex alone at lunch, between classes, you walk with her, you do everything with her," she says "no exceptions,"
They nod and she looks at me
"Lex my office is always open, and moms at home this week so if you're getting overwhelmed please just call her and she'll pick you up okay?"
"Does he have classes with me?"
"No honey,"
"Then I'll be okay Mama,"
She hugs me and then sends me to class.
Tonis POV
First class of the day and I already broke up a fight.
But it's fine, it's a small gym class and I'm too tired to run anything but dodgeball.
"Coach Topaz," wren says coming in
"Yes Wren?"
"I'm in your class first period," he says
"Pick a team, red or blue?" I sigh
"I know you have a thing for red so I'll take that,"
"Mr. Quintipacki- I don't like that attitude,"
"Oh Mrs. Topaz- I think you will,"
I start the game and look into the football office
"Mantle wanna help with my class?"
"Why?"
"Quintipacki transferred in and I would rather.."
"Yep good call,"
He comes in and the boys (all boys class) finish another game.
"Coach Topaz can we play basketball for the last 10 minutes please?" Trey asks
"Sure Trey, get the basketballs- Will and Jhorry, clean up the dodgeballs please,"
They nod and start cleaning.
"Coach Mantle!" Wren says
"Quintipacki, what's up?" He asks
"Why did coach topaz call you in here?"
"We're friends," he says nudging my shoulder "and whenever we're on spare we join the others class,"
He nods and goes away.
"Do you have class next?"
"Yeah I got health but Morgan doesn't,"
"Sick,"
"How are you doing with everything?"
"I'm better, the Vermont thing brought it back a bit but I'm.. healthy enough for now,"
"Good,"
"Coach Topaz wanna shoot?" Trey asks "I bet you could put shoot mantle- Jhorry thinks Mantle has you,"
"I can out shoot Mantle," I laugh
They give us three balls each and I go three for three and Reg misses one.
"I thought you played football coach," Jhorry said
"I did, but my daughter liked basketball- so I taught her," I laugh shooting again
The bell rings and everyone leaves but Wren.
"Wren- go to your next class,"
"I'm in your next class too,"
"Oh, in that case... you can keep shooting, I just have to go get something,"
I go to the football office and grab my plan since I actually teach next period and ask Morgan to step in.
"Yeah sure,"
"I'm getting tired again so you might need to demonstrate,"
"Sure thing,"
I walk in and Hudson and his friends are at one end and Wren is talking with some of the football guys.
"Hudson, can I talk to you for a second?" I call
"Of course coach Topaz," he says jogging over "what's up?"
"I really, really don't have the energy to do a report about a fight between anyone today. I know he's... not the nicest and he's already made inappropriate comments towards me- but that's why Coach Morgan is here to be a buffer okay? Just try and keep the peace and don't let him get to you,"
"Okay Coach," he nods a bit
"What's wrong?"
"He's already made comments about Lexi,"
"Cheryl used to say this every time someone would make comments about her- if you get suspended- no ones going to be here to protect Lexi, okay? Just let him talk, he'll wear himself out eventually,"
"You done sucking up to the Coach Hudson?" Wren asks
"Coach Topaz had to ask me something," he says politely "just about Basketball,"
"Actually- that reminds me, Raeleigh, Coach W wants to see you,"
"May I go now?"
"Of course Hudson,"
I tel them to put the basketballs away and come sit down.
"Coach Morgan is going to help today since I'm still a little sick," I say "but we're going to do skills for rugby today and scrimmage tomorrow cool?"
"Coach do we get to tackle?" Wren asks
"No. The curriculum doesn't let me teach tackling,"
The class goes smooth until Wren says something inappropriate about me and Hudson retaliates.
"Sorry coach topaz,"
"Why are you apologizing?" His Coach asks coming in "you're right, he shouldn't be making comments like that about a teacher,"
"I asked him not to start anything today, it's okay," I say calmly
"Son come with me, Coach Topaz you don't mind right?" He asks becoming Wren
"Of course not,"
Wren goes with him and Hudson looks at me and shrugs
"Sorry Coach,"
"Don't apologize," I say "just don't tell my wife or she'll make me go home for another two weeks. I love her and Mateo- don't get me wrong but she drives me crazy,"
He laughs and the rest of the class gets back to work
"T, I need to take this call,"
"Yeah for sure,"
I walk around, correcting technique and bored out of my mind.
A ball hits my fake leg and I trip over another one and hit my head on the floor.
"Jesus," I say sitting up
"Coach are you alright?" Eli asks
"More than, get back to playing- I'm okay," I say sitting against the wall
"Coach Topaz, you fell pretty hard. Should I get Coach Morgan?" Hudson asks
I sigh and nod.
"Please, he's just in the hall,"
He leaves and Wren comes over
"Do you have a question?"
"No, just admiring the view,"
"You need to leave me alone. This is inappropriate,"
He goes to say something and I stop him
"Please. Stop, I can't right now,"
"Topaz, you good?"
"My leg came loose- can you watch them?"
"Of course T,"
He helps me to the office and goes to watch them
"Fuck," I say getting the leg off
"You okay coach topaz?" The new vice principal- Mrs Lasche asks
"Oh sorry Mrs. Lasche, it's just been a long couple periods and I need to fix my leg,"
"I thought your first two classes were the easiest you said,"
"I have a new kid and he makes comments that are very.. inappropriate towards me so it's just been stressful. He assaulted my daughter so I don't know how to punish him without going after her or even Mia," I sigh
"Wait, Wren Quintipacki?" She asks
"That's him," I sigh "Plus I just got back from my sick leave and I'm still on the meds so I'm always tired,"
"Wren isn't in a gym class. Especially not yours. I came to ask Coach Mantle if he's seen him since he didn't show up to his first period,"
"He's in the gym, with Coach Morgan,"
"You didn't ask to see his timetable?"
"No he was pretty confident he was in my class," I sigh
"You weren't ever alone with him right? With that history we don't want him to try and say anything,"
"Maybe 5 minutes in first period and 10 in second without another teacher, but there was always other students. I asked Mantle to help first period and Morgan is there now,"
"Good, that's good,"
I want this kid to go away
