Surprise, surprise! Wasn't expecting me to write so soon eh? Well...I just felt like writing thats all. It's funny sometimes how i can feel less stress and emo when writing stories....Maybe it has something to do with my mind being preoccupied while imagining up this story (some tiny part of the story may be from my experiences or hopes and dreams.Ex:Meeting the girl of my dreams XD) Ahh well....I better stop the crap talk. On with chapter 10 then. Hope you all enjoy this part. Here goes:-



What in god's name did i just do? Where did I, all of a sudden, get the guts to insult some possibly harmful strangers who might be ready to beat the crap outta me? Not to mention me pointing a middle finger at them which just made things worst. The answer came to me in a quick instant. It was Juliet of course...Ever since I met her I had become braver....more daring....more.....err..thats about it I guess. Her life was much more important than mine by a million times. How could I ever let these strangers touch her....to even hurt her? That's why I am where I am. Yes Martin, and where am I? Riding a bicycle away from a roaring car which seems just about ready to run me down.



These thoughts ran through my head as I rode as fast as i possibly could away from these maniac strangers. I was passing by many houses and yet not one of the residents there seemed to notice a car chasing after a poor little guy with a pretty old bicycle. I was running out of energy fast. In a few more minutes I wouldn't even have the energy to scratch my head. I was gasping so hard I wasn't even sure why i could still gasp. Suddenly something caught my eye. Up ahead to my right was an alleyway in between two rows of houses. It was so narrow that I was pretty confident a car as huge as the strangers were driving would not be able to fit. With my last ounce of strength I burst into the alleyway.



Boy, was it the worst move I could have ever done.



Once I had turned into the alleyway I met with a dead end. A brick wall was standing in my path preventing me from making my great escape. Great. Real great. To top things up, the car which was chasing me stopped right in front of the alleyway. I was trapped like a mouse. The car doors opened and out came two guys and.....Jake. Our star school football player.

"Oh man. Not you." I groaned.

This was beggining to be a really lousy day for me.

"Hello Martin. Good to know you're in good health. Unlike your friend Joshy."he sneered with a wicked grin on his face.

"Nice to see your nutsack functioning properly again. Want me to kick it a second time?"I said with anger in my voice. This loser was the guy who beated Joshy up. He was the reason Joshy was lying in the hospital covered with bruises.

"Watch your mouth Martin. As you can see there's three of us and only one of you. I'm afraid I'll be the one doing the kicking for today. I'll pay you back triple Martin for embarrasing me in front of the whole school."he said with an evil glint in his eyes.

As much as I hated to admit it, he was right. I was outnumbered. To make things worse, Jake and his bunch of rag-tag bullies were walking closer and closer to me. I had to think fast if I valued my life. Not to mention my nutsack.

"Three on one Jake? Against a scrawny kid like me? Wow, I don't think I need to embarass you anymore. Seems like you can get the job on your own. Scared to go alone against me?"I said with what I hope was the most sarcastic voice I had.

That definitely struck a nerve. He stopped walking abruptly and stared at me with his fist clenched. He had only two choices as far as I could see. First was to go alone against me which would save his ego but give me a much better chance at survival. The second was to go ahead with his gang and beat the crap outta me but in the process lose the respect from his gang members.

I stood there waiting for his response. I sure hope he picks the first choice if not I was pretty much dead meat.

"Well then Martin. I guess I'll get the pleasure of beating you up all by myself. Me against a scrawny kid like you? HA! This will be over in a minute."he said with an evil smile.

I sighed with relief. Thank god he was dumb enough to choose the first choice. Now all I had to do was....beat Jake. But how? Then a thought struck me. Jake only had the build. He pretty much had no brain. What was the saying again? Strength always bows to intellect. Some mumbo jumbo like that. Woohoo! That was the key to saving my life.

The question now was could I outsmart Jake enough that I could beat him? The question was still running through my mind when all of a sudden Jake charged at me and I ducked to the side. The fight was on. Again.

Well I guess I gotta stop here guys. This chapter is abit short so I hope you guys will forgive me. Even an inactive author gotta sleep sometimes you know. XD Cya guys! Plkk08 signing out~
