Strike 2, 3

Chapter 16: Strike 2, 3

Piper's point of view

I was in my bed still thinking about what happen earlier. Jenrick likes me? Maybe he likes me as his friend, right?

Actually he is not bad to be a friend except for his extreme addiction to video games overall he is good.

I remember again last night he save me from falling in the ladder. He is a good guy.

Morning came and I feel the heaviness at my eyes. I feel like I'm a zombie walking down the stairs.

Dad almost choke on his coffee when he saw walkin down. My hair is messy while my eyes have dark circles under it.

"Oh god Piper you scared me!" Dad said and I just sigh, I go to the kitchen to get some water but I jump in surprise to see my brother full of flour.

"You what is your deal?" I said that made me him smile awkwardly.

"He is trying to bake something. I don't know what's gotten to him" Dad said that made me sigh looking at him.

The table is cover with flour, the equipments are messy while he is covered of flour. From his face down to his shorts.

He is the mess.

"What are you trying to do?" I asked

"Uhm carrot cake. You like carrot?" he asked and I shoot glares on him.

"I don't like carrot, remember?" I said and he just pout. Dad get a piece of towel and wipe Pip's face.

He is letting our dad wipe his ugly face, still focus on the oven. I squat to see his bake and it looks good.

"Are you sure that this is edible?" I asked and he glare at me.

"Of course! I followed the instruction" he said and I smile when the oven bell. He told me to step back and when he open the oven.

I furrowed my eyebrows because of the smell. I start to cough and Dad quickly pull me away from the burn smell.

"Oh dude it's burn" Pip said and he scoop one of it. He start making disgusting face when he taste it.

"I won't do baking anymore"

"HAHAHA HA YOU FAIL" Zaizen said while laughing at Pip. Jenrick and Natty laugh along with him while Rich and Catherine are looking at them.

"Shut up coconut head! Why is your hair like that!" Pip fire back that made Zaizen raise his eyebrows.

"Don't change the subject!"

"I was getting back at you!"

"Hah! Me coconut head? Then you are carrot head!"

"Carrot head?!"

"You burn the poor carrot!"

"Okay stop" I said, they both pout. I sigh and make them sit down.

"It's childish" Natty said and Zaizen glare at her. While Jenrick is laughing at them, teasing them that they got scolded.

Catherine suddenly laugh that made us look at her. She is still laughing and even Rich doesn't understand her.

"Why are you laughing?"

"You know what there is carrot cake serve today" Catherine said that made us laugh. I just laugh because they laugh.

Afted the break, we are walking back to the classroom when someone accidentally pour a bucket of water on us.

"What the?"

"Piper" Jenrick said as he look at me. I still froze on my place while feeling the cold water.

"Who did it?!" Pip screamed as he look up. I want to cry, I want to cry.

"Wear this" I heared Jenrick said and he wrapped his jacket on myself.

"I'm sorry, I slip up there" the students said while looking at me. Natty walked in front and look at the girl's id.

"Be careful next time" Natty said and she pull my hand to the comfort room. Pip sigh and he is going to get his extra clothes.

I was shaking in cold and I can feel Catherine's warm hold on me.

"Me also wet but lucky that it was only my uniform but you" Natty said while fixing my hair.

I got wet all my body and I don't know but I feel weak. I just sigh and brush my hair. Pip text me that his pe uniform is already outside and we all sigh to see that the uniform are torn out.

"If I catch that bitch, I will slap her" Natty said while looking at the clothes. Catherine just sigh and we didn't have a choice but to told our teacher what happen.

"Here Ms. Alvarez, who is the student again? If she offer her pe uniform to you that would be much better" Ms. Kim said and I just thank her.

"I don't know what happen this days but if I catch who did this to you. I don't care if I face Jenrick's father" Natty said

"Nats chill okay? Maybe some students are just pranking" I said and she just roll her eyes.

"I hope this the last time that it will happen to you" Catherine said

Next day, I was with Catherine holding a pile of notebooks that is going to place at Mr. Sy tables.

We are walking straightly but someone suddenly run up to me that made him bumped to me.

"Hey watch out!" Catherine shout and the guy just smirk. He just look down on me and run away.

"Jerk!"

Wow, what did just happen?

Catherine put down the notebooks and she help me stand up. I can feel the pain in my back and I just pick up the notebooks shatters the hallway.

"He doesn't have a manners. I will find him" Catherine said but I just hold her hand.

"Don't mind it, you know Pip he would create a war" I said and she sigh. Maybe she is dissapointed on what I said.

I don't want any trouble. Maybe that guy is just jerk.

This week, it's not accident anymore. Everyday something will happen to me like in Wednesday someone spill her orange juice on my uniform then later at afternoon, a ball land on my head.

It's hurts that made me dizzy a little bit. Zaizen almost get guidance when he start to curse at the guy who are playing at the field.

We are there because Mr. Sy told us to get some grass for our project. Pip is going to help him but I told him not to make a trouble.

Thursday, it was my day for the cleaning of the classroom when my classmate go out to put the trash away when someone locked me up in the classroom.

I feel like someone is controlling this. I can feel it.

I was relieved that day because Rich forgot his jersey and he notice that the door is locked. Someone is holding it and laughing silently.

"Hey are you okay?" Rich asked when he open the door. I nodded my head and I am trying to relaxed myself.

"You want water or something?" He asked again and I shook my head.

"Don't worry I'm fine just a little bit nervous"

In the end Rich help me to clean up while my classmate is back. I asked Rich if he saw her locking me up and he said no. It was guys who is holding it.

I swear if this friday something will bad happen I will report it to the office.
