Ugly Memories

Chapter four

I walked around the crowd trying to find the perfect viewpoint but since I couldn't,I chose to squeeze myself through the crowd pushing and pulling and getting pushed and pulled as well.

In the process I got jabbed in the ribs hard,massaging the spot and pushing through the crowd harder I managed to get to the middle.

Thankfully,I could see the two guys fighting and could easily differentiate them,sorta. One was dressed in a jersey with black and white joggers,the other is wearing denim jacket and jeans with a white shirt.

Although the one in jersey is taller than the one in denim by a head,he seems to be losing a great deal. He heads for Denim with his fist locked, ready to make a hit at his head but Denim dodges then punches his gut.

Jersey backs up a couple of steps and before he could recover,Denim kicks him in the side making him bend over.

Everyone hisses at the hit.

"That's got to hurt." Everyone agrees with a grunt.

Denim gets ready to deliver another kick to his face but,luckily;cause that could've been a deadly hit,he had quickly recovered and grabbed his foot then gave it a twist.

Everyone gasped at the possible pain that could've caused yet all the guy did was grit his teeth.

Then right before our eyes,Jersey made a 180 degree turn with his leg which made Denim twist and land on his face.

"Ooh." Everyone cringes.

Jersey makes a move,probably to land another hit while he's down,but suddenly Denim swipes at Jersey's feet with his uninjured foot and tripped him. Getting a tiny amount of air,he lands on his back.

"Ooh."

"Oh my gosh." Everyone,including me,cringes at the fall.

'I think I heard something crack.'

"Oh my God,isn't this a getting little bit dangerous?" A girl from the crowd says with a bit of concern.

"If you think so then leave." Someone replies harshly.

"Hey,don't be so hard on her." Another person rushes to her defense.

"I'm just saying,aren't they afraid of getting in trouble?" The same girl asks again.

"It'll be a miracle if they manage to."

"But they are really hurting each other."

"I think that's the point."

I tune the rest of the conversation out and payed attention to the fight. I was so engrossed in it that I didn't notice I moved to the front of the crowd until I was unexpectedly shoved hard and staggered into the circle.

I turn around and try to find the douchebag who pushed me but it wasn't a douchebag,rather it was a baboon ass-faced b***h. The stupid girl from earlier smiles at me wickedly and wiggles her fingers like a witch.

I glare at her murderously until she disappeared into the crowd. Turning back to the fight I contemplate the idea of telling them a girl is where she isn't supposed to be,but seeing that the two are so into the fight I realise it was a bad idea.

Finally I decided moving out of their way when they get to close would be a better idea and that's what I did. I dodged and moved away from them each time they were too close to me.

Avoiding them once again I decided to find a way to get back into the crowd,and possibly find that witch so I can pummel her face in.

Just as I was about to make my escape,I get grabbed from behind and slammed into something,raising my head in pain I saw a fist coming towards me.

I completely blanked out and stomped hard on my captor's foot making him release me,then made a fierce jab at his gut with my elbow. I race behind him and grabbed his arms into a criss-cross behind his back and exerted a lot of force in it.

As soon as I did that,the fist that was supposed to hit me landed on Jersey's side of his face. His head fiercely whipped to the side and a squirt of blood came out of his mouth.

I hurriedly let go of him and backed away from the two of them.

'This is too much for me,I think I should just go find my class now.'

I turn to go back into the crowd but saw Stacy rushing towards me stretching her hands out to push me again. I narrow my eyes at her and just as her hands were about to touch me, I grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the fighters.

Coincidentally Jersey wanted to land a punch on Denim but with Stacy's intervention,it landed on her face instead. She lets out a earsplitting shriek then faints on the spot.

"Stacy." A girls rushes out from the crowd and races to her side.

Everywhere turned quiet,no one was cheering and the fighters stopped tussling. Everyone just looked at the girl with a badly bruised face lying on the ground not moving a muscle.

Honestly just looking at her face gives me the urge to vomit,but seeing that would've been inappropriate I gag behind my hand instead.

"Is she okay?" A boy comes out from the crowd as well as rushes to her side.

"No,she's out cold." The girl lets down Stacy's hand after checking her pulse. The boy grits his teeth and walks up to Jersey and shoves him hard. Which didn't effect him considering the fact that he's lanky compared to Jersey's robust physique.

"What the heck,man?" The guy yelled up to his face and got ready to punch him.

'Ohpa,it seems there's going to be another fight going on but I should really skedaddle since I was the one who pulled her into the fight.'

I seriously ponder leaving the scene as soon as possible but stay to watch how the confrontation play out.

Before the fist could land on Jersey's face Denim jumps in and blocks it then squeezes the fist hard. The boy cringes in pain then tries to pull out his fist,he clutches his fist when Denim finally lets him go.

"Scram." He brusquely says under his breath.

The boy backs away in fear then frowns,caressing his knuckles he says to them.

"You guys think you're so special,this isn't over." He bends and helps Stacy's friend to carry her to the infirmary. "I'm gonna make you guys pay for this"

Everyone whispers to each other as the boy leaves while I just raise an eyebrow at them.

I shrug then turn around to start looking for my next class,but unexpectedly my eyes met a pair of hazelnut pupils. These eyes narrow at me,studying me and kinda creeping me out.

I turn my eyes away and start walking away trying to avoid that ominous stare,but before I could move out of the hall someone rushes in shouting.

"The principal's coming,the principal's coming." Everywhere turns quiet then somebody yelled out.

"Everyone,scaaaatterrrr." Immediately everyone starts running off in different directions.

I hear a grunt and a thud but I was too occupied with avoiding being tackled or pushed around to check where it came from.

"Watch out." I hear someone shout but I was too distracted to find who it was or who he/she was talking to. Well that was until the person bumped into me and we both fell down.

"Ouuuch." I groan as I rubbed the place I landed on.

"Why don't you watch where you're going?!" I look at the girl in surprise then frown at her.

"Are you kidding me?" I mutter under my breath. "You're the one who ran into me." We glare at each other then she broke contact and stood up dusting herself.

"Yeah,I guess that true." I roll my eyes at her then stood up grabbing my bag from the ground. "Sorry about that,you okay?"

"I'm fine." I answer bluntly. Ignoring her I walked past her and try to find the way to my class.

"Hey." I stop and turn to her.

"What?"

"You must be new here,I've never seen you around here before. I'm Chelsea." She smiles cheerfully after introducing herself.

My eyes roam over her as if I was studying her. She seems like the popular,friendly,bubbly,girls next-door type.

Her outfit even compliments her profile;high waisted white jeans,black crop top,kitty eared hoodie with black sneakers to match. Her blonde hair is styled into a front comb over with two pigtails that reach her waist, complimented with her blue eyes.

She looks like a member of a k-pop band.

"Hey,earth to stranger,is anyone in there?" My eyes widen when I see someone waving an hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" I look at her in confusion.

"You didn't introduce yourself." She pouts at me.

'Well,isn't that cute.' I internally sneer.

"Jessica." I turn and walk away from her,completely ignoring her after that.
