Hard balls aren't really my thing

**********

Another person's pov

-----------

I knew she was staring at me,I mean she always does. Today's Alma mata for me was Annie's parade. It was really hilarious alongside dangerous. When did she get so stupid? She was always prim and proper,never had alcohol,never kissed,never insulted anyone and so on. Don't bother asking how I know,I'm not gonna tell.

Maybe I should do a staring contest with her. I got up and switched the room light on, plummeting it into brightness;not quite bright but at least for my eyes. I looked out of the window and saw a hooded figure leaning on the window,I wonder who that was. How did the person get there?...I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the figure dissipate right in front of me.

Isn't that magic? Of course it is,how else would it have gotten into her room so fast. The body posture was so masculine so it was definitely a guy. What if that was an armed man,a druggie or even a rapist? Heard some are on the loose. They were conversing and Annie looked so uninterested in whatever he was saying until when he pulled his magical trick and grabbed her wrist... rushing beneath my bed to get my hard ball,I was back in a bit and they were gone in a flash.

Where did they go?

Sticking my head out of my window to look around. They weren't at the base,not at the field,not the garden. I bet he can't move that fast....or maybe he can.

I looked at the hooded figure and a not so frightened looking Annie without her crutches on the roof top. I froze at that. How fast can he move? Unless he is a demon. What if he is a demon?

I rushed into the bathroom to wash my face before dashing back to the window. It was still the same,I grabbed my hard ball and went straight for the rooftop stairs. If he really is a demon,he had best stay clear of Annie or else...

Someone's gonna get a really big throw this night.

Annie's pov

"Where you born and breed in a cold room?" Blood hasn't flowed through my arm since he let go.

I could see his lips which was illuminated with the moonlight. He reacted to what I said,I wasn't sure if it was a wide toothed smile or a grin but I knew he reacted.

"Opposite". I stayed still not daring to move without my crutches and crashing on the cold cemented floor.

Clearing my throat before speaking to Aaron "so,what did you want to show me?".

"Come on follow me"he headed towards the side stairs and began climbing before noticing that I didn't follow him. He shook his head slightly.

"Come on,you can move" I gave him the 'are you blind' look? Which he responded to with another Bob from his head.

"No,I'm not. Your state is neutralized whenever you're with me,other words whatever injury or pain you have doesn't affect you when we're together".

"Why is it that way?"

"I'm in charge of your welfare till whenever the big guy decides, meaning I'm your protector and guardian" I gave him a weird look before walking over and hoping on his back.

"Wha..t are you doing?" He tried to pulling my hands off his body.

"What does it look like I'm doing?,come on take me to the big guy. I've a bunch of questions to ask him"I slammed my foot against his behind and lifted one arm up. "Let's go!"

"To get to the big guy,you got to die and for his sake,get off me. I'm a demon lord not a horse"with one final pull I was off his back and onto the floor with my ass.

What's with guys and roughness?

"Are you okay?" Stupid question. " I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to use such force...."

"You beast!"

Rushing out of nowhere was shirtless guy with a shirt on and a hard ball. I didn't expect him to show up neither did Aaron and I also don't think we were the smartest duo.

'cause if we were,i wouldn't be standing in between a 'non hooded' surprised Aaron and a 'bewildered' shirtless guy with a swollen check and blood filled mouth. I don't know why but on instinct I jumped in front of Aaron to shield him from shirtless guy's hard ball.

I swear that shit hurts like a bitch.

-------------

I sat on my bed with an ice pack on my check and two angry looking guys in front of me. The glaring contest has been on for a while now. I had to stop it.

"Will the both of you pls stop?"both boys turned to look at me. Shirtless boy expression softened but Aaron was back in mystery man mode so his expression couldn't be seen. If not for this incident,I would have seen Aaron's face but unfortunately I only got a glimpse of it.

Shirtless boy spoke first "he started it"

"No,he started it"

"It was your fault,if you hadn't put her on the floor so roughly i wouldn't have attacked" shirtless boy said through gritted teeth and clenched fist. No way are they fighting in my room.

"Idiot"

"Stupid" Aaron laughed at that. Shirtless guy and i just stared at him.

"You know that's your middle name right?" Shirtless boy let out a hiss before throwing his fist at Aaron who was fast enough to dodge it.

I couldn't contain my annoyance."stop it!". I was vexed. My head hurt and so did my teeth and entire body.

Shirtless boy looked furious"But you saw what he said about...?" Aaron with his stupid brain interrupted again.

"Dude for real,stupid is your middle name. Your great great grandpa was called that because of...". He was struck on the face before he could complete his sentence. The hit didn't come from shirtless boy, this time around it came from me. I struck Aaron with my ice pack. The boy just didn't know when to shut up.

Shirtless boy laughed at that,he found this situation funny. Aaron let out a grunt before throwing the ice pack inside a waste bin.

"Not funny,stupid"

"With your attitude,you could go to hell"Aaron laughed and I smiled.

If only you knew.

"Pls,is that all you could come up with?just so you know I've been there a couple of time."

"Not funny man"

"I wasn't trying to be" I didn't let either of them continue bickering before ushering them out.

"Shut up and get out,Aaron"Shirtless boy smirked at that.

"Just me?not fair An..."I would bet a thousand he was pouting beneath that black hoodie.

"Not just you,Aaron". I looked at shirtless boy and signalled him to get out too. I left no room for complains and eventually they left.

I didn't bother to shower before crawling under my blanket to sleep. I needed to rest cause I have had enough body pains to last me the whole year.
