Kageru threw the pipe a side then turned to the kids. "You guys should get going before more like them show up."
The girl got to her feet with her brother. She bowed then forced the boy to bow. "Thank you very much." She said before running off with her brother.
"Itai!!!" Kageru yelled holding his hand.
Jenna immediately rushed over to his side to look at his arm. She rolled up his long sleeved shirt.
"Aitata." He grumbled as she grazed it.
She looked at it. The place the pipe had hit turned purple. "I'm sorry." She said.
She walked him over to the bench where he dropped their bags and sat him down.
"It looks like it's broken." She said as she brought out a bandage.
She began to wrap it round his arm gently. All the while he just looked at her.
"What's wrong with? Why can't you do things easily?" She complained. She looked up at him and pouted.
"I'm sorry but if I had taken it easy the kids will still be on the ground being beating up and worse, I'd be rushing you to the hospital." He said cupping her face in his hands before standing up. "It's better that the world loses a random arm than to lose Jenna."
She giggled standing up. "That's very cringe and cheesy."
"I know let's go." He said taking her arm in his good one.
"As we reach school it's straight to the nurse's office." Jenna said.
He just hummed his answer. "I also didn't know you could fight like that." She said.
"Now you know and hopefully get to see more of it." He said with a cheeky smile.
------
As Jenna and Jensen walked through the main door all eyes were on them.
They were talking about something and smiling as they made their way to the nurse's office.
Lucky for Jensen, he made off with a minor hairline fracture. The nurse told him to take it easy on his right arm.
They thanked her and went out.
"Oh and Jenna." The nurse called.
"Yes, Nurse Joy." She answered turning to meet her gaze.
Jensen was already outside waiting for her.
"You should be cautious about him. He seems dangerous and reckless." Nurse Joy said with a serious face.
Jenna was shocked but remained calm. "Don't worry Nurse Joy. He better than you think. He got the wound trying to save me."
Nurse Joy's facial expressions softened. "Alright. Then take good care of him." She said.
"Thank you." Jenna said before leaving the office.
"What was that about?". Jensen asked.
"Oh she just told me to take care of a baby." Jenna said walking off.
"Oh ok." Jensen said obliviously. "Wait. Do you mean me?" He said in realization.
--------
Jenna and Jensen walked into class with Jensen yelling at her.
"What do you mean baby?" He asked.
She shrugged him off with a small smile before going to her seat.
They both looked round the class and found out it was empty— except for one person who had his head in the his table.
Andrea rose up his head and turned to then. "Good. You both are here. I was wondering why you guys were late...but I see the cause." He said as his eyes travelled to Jansen's head then his right arm.
"Where's everyone?" Jensen asked.
"Thanks for reminding me. We have P.E instead of English. Everyone is heading to the soccer pitch." Andrea said getting to his feet.
"Ok, let's go." Jenna said pulling Jensen off his chair.
"So seem to forget that I don't have a or the PE uniform." Jensen said.
"Oh don't worry. I have a spare. You can borrow that then get yours after class. Jenna will escort you." He said.
"Alright. You heard the class rep." Jenna said pushing him towards Andrea. "I'll see you on the pitch, 'baby'." She added playfully before running out of the class.
Andrea looked at Jensen and gave him a warm smile. "Let's go."
They walked through the corridor without a word to each other.
"Why did you stand up for Jenna and I in Mr Heartwood's class?" Jensen asked bluntly.
"Oh that." Andrea said casually. "You show promise and Jenna really helped me a lot when I came newly."
"I thought Jenna said she had no friends." Jensen said.
"She says that a lot. It's kind of true though since I never asked her to be my friend." He said.
"Well, it's never too late to make a good friend." Jensen said.
They stopped in front of the boys' locker room and paused.
"Oh, one more thing." Andrea said drawing his attention. "What can I call you by?"
"Any name you want. If you can ask what my name is." Jensen said. "I've got five different names."
"I know all of them. I was part of the few that was in class when you and Jenna talked about it. I was paying attention." He said slyly. "That's why I asked which one I could call you, you also only permitting Jenna to use those names."
"For now, Jensen will do." He said. "Let's see where this leads to."
Andrea nodded and opened the door. All the boys paused as the two walked in like there were Mafia bosses.
Some fat boy used their shirts to cover themselves while the small boys hid behind the fat boys as they passed.
The two were giving of a dangerous aura as they had entered.
Andrea lead Jensen to his lock. He took of his shirt and placed it in the locker.
"You can use this one. It's empty." He said to Jensen as he tossed his a blue shirt with dark blue camo print on it. Then he pointed at the locker right of his.
Jensen looked at him then smiled. He was sizing him up. His six packs. His biceps and triceps were all something to write home about.
"Wow. Class rep is so chiseled."
"Yeah. Just look at those packs."
"I wish I had a body like his."
"Yeah. No one can compare with him."
Murmurs were flying round the room. The two looked at each other then shook their heads.
Jensen opened the locker then took off his coat folding it and dropping it in the locker. He looked down at his inner shirt the laughed lightly to himself.
He took it of and dropped it the locker. At that same moment someone dropped their bottle.
"Woah."
"This dude's got it all."
"Look at those contours."
Mumurs began to fly round. He gazed at Andrea who was also looking at him with surprise.
"Nice body." He said as they both put on their shirts then the shorts.
"I say the same." Jensen replied as they both walked out heading for the pitch.
------
Jenna stood at her locker lost in thought. She took of her shirt and dropped it in her locker.
She looked down at her breasts through her black singlet.
"He was looking at them." She said softly to herself as she grabbed them trying to wrap her brain round what she was trying to reason. "Maybe he likes them...or he likes me."
She squirmed as she slid into her uniform. Then walked out.
Danielle, Debbie and Dorothy had their eyes on Jenna as she left.
"Why would that pompous bitch be all giddy." Debbi said. "And all because someone boy was looking at her tiny breasts." She hissed.
"Oh shut it Debbie." Danielle said. "Her breasts are bigger than yours."
"Humph." Debbie sighed crossing her arms over her chest. "I didn't want you to state it out."
"I know sweetheart." Danielle said.
"I know a way to kill whatever that it that is growing in her." Dorothy said.
"Oooo. Spill it." The other two said.
-------
Jenna sat down on the grass with Jensen lying beside her.
"Is this a necessity?" He asked.
"Why are you so lazy?" She asked as she used her hands to cover his eyes.
"I'm not. But since you're here and you'll be with me then maybe I'll do something." He said.
"You can do something by playing and I'll cheer for you like your devout fan girl." She said playfully flaying her hands.
"If I get picked." He pointed out.
Just then Andrea walked up to them. He looked at Jensen who looked back at him.
"Do you play soccer?" He asked. Jenna looked at him with bright eyes. "Your wish has been granted."
"No." He said bluntly as he covered his eyes.
"No to playing or no to your wish?" Andrea asked.
"To both. I don't want to play. I'll be sweaty and it's a hassle." He said.
Jenna pushed him up then hit his head in a chop manner.
"Ouch." He said looking at her. "I still have a bandage you know."
"I know. Just do this for me." She whined. "Please."
She hit him again with the puppy dog eyes— it worked.
"Ugh fine." He said.
He stretched out his hand. Andrea grabbed him and pulled him up.
"Come on ." He said taking him away.
"I'll cheer for you, love." She said playfully and Jensen just waved at her.
"Thanks." Andrea whispered to her. She smiled and responded with a thumbs up.
"So, which position do you play?" Andrea asked.
"All but I want to be an egoist to day so I'll play second striker." Jensen said.
"Why not center forward?" Andrea asked.
"I like to give assists." He said simply.
"Boys, I've got our number 7." Andrea said presenting Jensen like an award.
They looked at Jensen then continued what they were doing.
"Just show them your skills.
Mr Tom arranged the boys the dropped the ball in the center.
"Wooo Team A. Go Ben."
"Go get 'em Marcus."
"Wooo. Come on Ben."
The girls shouted for the person they were supporting.
"Get them Andrea." Jenna yelled.
Andrea laughed lightly at her gesture.
"Come on class rep. Team B can't lose." Girls shouted.
"Jensen two goals for me." Jenna said and everyone kept quiet.
Jensen turned to her with wide eyes that said 'what the fuck'. She just flashed him a cute smile.
"Come, 'baby boy'." She added.
"What the fuc—."
Mr Tom blew his whistle. "Foul language gets you a yellow card.
"Come Jensen. Don't be a sour puss." She said and blew him a kiss.
He sighed and looked down at the ball.
"Crazy girl?" Andrea asked.
"Crazy girl." Jensen replied.
"What a weird bitch." A girl said.
"Yeah. Who'd want to cheer for that goth?"
Mr Tom blew his whistle and Jensen passed the ball to Andrea before running forward. Andrea in turn passed the ball and continued forward.
Jensen stopped about two meters from the 18 yard box. He looked at Ben the Marcus.
"Hmm. The Danielle bodyguard is playing right full-back. And the Sloppy kisser is playing attacking mid-field. " Jensen said. "I'm playing the left as the second striker."
He smiled brightly as he saw a cross coming from his teammate.
He dashed forward and Ben was right on him. As the ball came down Ben expected Jensen to trap the ball before advancing. He planned to use his body to stop Jensen.
But that was the last thing he thought. As the ball was about to land Ben had already begun his action.
Jensen hopped a little. He crossed his left leg behind his right leg and used his heel to tap the ball forward between Ben's legs.
"I'll just make them eat some grass." He said smiling sadistically.
Andrea emerged as the ball had passed Ben. He made a slight touch controlling it.
The keeper rushed at him. Andrea performed a rabona, chipping the ball above the keeper and into the goal.
Tom blew his whistle signifying the goal. Team B members swarmed Andrea celebrating him.
Whenever Marcus and Ben when on the same team it was always hard to beat them. But now it was different.
"Woooo. Team B."
"Yeah, Team B."
"Go Andrea. Wonderful pass Jensen." Jenna's voice rang out the most.
"What's with that smile?" Andrea asked as he got away from their teammates and shaking Jensen's hand. "Thanks for the assist."
"Oh, I just realized that some people will be getting an nice salad." He replied as they walked back to their positions. "And you're welcome."
Tom blew his whistle again signaling the restart. As the ball was played everyone began moving while Jensen remained still.
"What's wrong with that ass? We'll lose the match." A girl said.
"Shut it." Jenna snapped at the girl. She jumped slightly looking at Jenna. " He has a plan."
A ball went passed Jensen and he didn't chase it. A teammate rushed passed him pushing him aside.
"Asshole." The boy said.
"Left midfielders." Jensen said talking about his teammate. "Going down to the right back's position."
Then he began to walk slowly. "Bingo!" He yelled as he saw a clearance from the left back heading to the mid-field and Marcus heading for it.
The next thing everyone knew was that Marcus and Jensen were racing for the ball.
Jensen kept his eyes on the ball. "Backwards spin."
As it was about to drop on the ground Jensen staggered forward.
Marcus fumbled seeing his movement. The ball bounced slightly off the tip of his boots and into Jensen's feet.
He inched forward slightly and Marcus came in to take the ball.
Jensen then performed a rainbow flick to his left.
Marcus followed and at the last moment he chipped the ball to the other side over his head.
Marcus tried to follow but the sudden movement caused him to slip and fall face flat into the grass.
He made his way forward as his teammates came rushing up.
He dribbled passed the first person, then the second and the third. The he was face to face with Ben.
He began to do step overs as he made his way to Ben. Ben followed his movement.
'His going left.' He said to himself.
Just as he predicted, Jensen moved the ball to his left with his left foot.
As Ben made to go for the ball Jensen performed an elastico send the ball through his legs again.
"Same trick twice. Have some shame." Jensen said as he made his way past Ben.
Getting to the keeper did a roulette and used the back of his heel to hit the ball through his legs and into the post.
The crowd erupted in cheers as they saw his skills. His teammates surrounded him celebrating him.
After they dispersed he went to where Jenna sat.
He stood in front of her. He crossed his right leg in front of his left leg then pretended to take off a had and placing it on his chest before taking a boy to her.
She blushed and clapped trying to hide the redness on her cheeks.
"One more, love." She said jokingly.
He looked up at her with a weird glance. "Huh!"
He went back and took his position not too far from Andrea.
"Nice goal." Andrea said.
"Are you up for another two of your own?" Jensen asked.
"I'll just settle for one." Andrea said laughing.
"Alright." Jensen said as Tom blew this whistle.
