#Chapter5

Luckily when I got to school today the guys weren't there, though I did wonder where they were? Sure it's not like we were the best of friends and I know they could do better than me but I was still concerned.

This morning though was a close call. I was just about to walk out of the house but I saw the guys coming out and they got in their car.

They looked really panicked but I didn't think too much of it, probably some family emergency. I still wonder? Well no use dwelling on it.

It was Friday so I met up with Spencer after school. Jen said she would take my car home because her mom dropped her off today. "Hey Tori Bear!" I looked up from the text I sent my mom and smiled at Spencer, there, leaning against the car.

Holy Mother of Chocolates why did he have to look like a male model standing like that?

Some people are lucky in this world to have amazing bodies but then you get the people who try but never get what they want. "Hey Spencer." Guess I don't stutter anymore, that's going to be useful. "You ready?" I nodded my head and we climbed into his black, SUV.

The car ride to his house was silent but it wasn't an awkward silence. I snuck a peek at him now and then, I noticed he was doing the same. Why does he have to be so cute? We finally arrived at his house, and it was beautiful.

It was a two story house. The walls were built from rocks and on some of the walls, were vines growing on it.

I think I was starring to long because Spencer started to chuckle at my expression. I looked over at him and blushed.

He smiled at me then got out. I undid my seat belt but just as I was about to open the door, Spencer opened it for me.

"Thank you." I smiled at him while jumping out. "Your welcome. So...welcome to my humble abode." He said when we walked through the threshold of the house.

The inside was even more beautiful. Inside was the real modern look. Everything looked so high tech and futuristic.

Though I do like vintage/modern more, that just seemed more homey but still futuristic.

"So where do we go from here?" I asked when he was standing in front of me. He smiled and led me to the living room. We sat down on a brown leather couch and got to work.

"So what are you struggling on?" That led us to talking and discussing about balanced equations for chemistry then for biology the brain.

"See you've got this stuff down, it’s not that hard." He nodded while I cleared my things off the table and put them in my bag.

"Um Tori... I-I was wondering if you'd like to come to my party next Saturday?" He asked while rubbing his hand through his hair.

Did Spencer McBride, the Spencer McBride, just ask me to come to his party? What does that mean?

It means he wants you at his party you idiot! That tiny voice in my head said.

"Um...sure is it cool if I bring Jen?" I'm sure she was going even if she wasn't invited. He nodded then smiled and I smiled back.

Suddenly I found him leaning in closer towards me. His eyes looking back and forth between my lips and eyes. Surely he's not going to kiss me, right?

I actually found myself leaning forward as well. I could feel his breath fanning my face from our close proximity. Just as my eyes started to flutter closed, my phone rang.

We jumped back in surprise and I'm sure I looked like a tomato with how red I looked from blushing. Spencer cleared his throat and asked if I was going to get that.

I grabbed my phone and saw it was Darron calling.

"Hello, Darron?"

"Fuck Tori you better get down to the ring right now before I kill someone!"

"Why what happened?"

"Just get here as soon as possible!"

He hung up and I sighed. "Problems?" I nodded my head and gave Spencer a sad smile. "Yeah, could you drive me to the gym pronto, please?" He nodded and grabbed his keys.

Shit I wonder what happened now, usually Darron can handle things there, he doesn't really need me there unless... no Darron would never let me come near the place if that was true.

Well let’s see how this shit turns out.

We got to the gym in about 10 minutes. "Thanks Spencer really appreciate it." He jumped out of the car and gave me a hug. "No problem you had my back now I had yours." I said my final goodbye to him. Only to be greeted by dimwits glaring at each other.

I recognised three of the dimwits, Dalton, Foster and Caleb. What a surprise! The rest of the group I did not recognise. This is my territory so they better not cause shit here.

I saw Darron standing in between the group trying to keep them away from each other. Time to help.

"What the fuck is going on here!" My voice boomed around the entire gym. Everyone’s head snapped towards me.

Everyone stayed silent while I glared at the dimwits. "I said what the fuck is going on?" I walked towards them with a scowl on my face. "Dude doesn't she look similar to 'Killer'?" I glared at a ginger haired guy.

He shrank back and kept his mouth shut. "If I have to ask this question one more fucking time, I swear to God I will rip all your little balls off and shove them down your throat!"

This instantly got the guys to burst out laughing except for Darron and the people who come to this gym often. They took steps back, Dalton and the other two saw that and quit laughing and stepped back as well. Good boys.

"Are you fucking serious you're all scared of her? A cute, little girl?"

"Dude you're screwed." I heard someone say to the person. That only caused him to laugh even more. "She's weak how could you be scared like really-" I cut him off with a punch to the nose. I was satisfied when I heard a cracking sound.

"You bitch!" He tried to attack me but I just flipped him over, grabbed his arm and twisted behind his back till he was screaming for me to stop.

I let go and stepped over him. "Anyone else want to challenge this little, weak girl again?" They all shook their heads figural.

"You!" I yelled and pointed to ginger haired guy. He looked like he was about to shit himself but he came near me.

"Now fucking tell me what’s the problem or you'll end up like him but worse." He gulped, you could practically smell the fear coming off of him.

"We were confronting them about a situation outside of the gym a-and we got into an a-argument about it." I nodded my head.

"Go, if I ever catch you guys in here causing shit again I will rip those tiny balls off understood?" They all nodded and practically ran out of there.

"The same goes for you three." I said to them with my back facing them. "You may be my friends or whatever but no one cause shit in here am I clear boys?" I don't think they've heard me speak with so much venom in my voice.

I didn't wait for an answer because I went into the office and sat down. I groaned and went through some of the paperwork.

I own this place but not by myself I own it with Darron. It was passed onto us by the previous owner he was like a father figure to me but he passed away. He taught me everything thing I know.

My last words to him was that I promised to keep this place running with no trouble at all.

"Knock, knock. You okay?" I looked up to a concerned looking Darron. I gave him a weak smile and nodded. "Yeah I just feel really drained right now."

"Do you want a ride?" I agreed and before I knew it we pulled up in front of my house. "Thanks Darron."

He shrugged and pushed, yes pushed me out of the car. He so nice to a person. I flipped him the bird when he drove off and he gave me the same.

I walked into my house only to be greeted by the dining rooms table set and the smell of mom cooking. "Mom who's coming over?"

"Tammy and her sons!"

Someone kill me now!
