clenched his fists again.
“ They took the money!” he screamed as he jumped at me.
Mr. Cooper caught him by his collar and pulled him back
instantly. The coach pushed the ninja leader into the doorway of the front
office, and then turned around. “I don’t know who did this, but at this
point it’s clear that Wyatt had something to do with it. At the moment,
the money is returned, which is more important than who took it. I think
most of us are just thankful that it’s back. Everyone clear out of the hallway
so we can gather up the cash and put it back where it belongs. But mark my
words that this isn’t over. We’ll find out who did it eventually, so it
would be best if the guilty party stepped forward at a later time, in private ,”
the coach said as he slammed the office door shut.
“Wow,” said Zoe as she looked at my face. “You got your butt kicked !”
“Yeah,” I said. “Seems like I might be good at that, huh?
Maybe I can start a club or something.”
Emily pulled a tissue from one of her other purses. Maybe it
was her “lunchtime” purse or something. “I think it’s manly,” she said as she
started dabbing my bloody lip with the tissue. Her eyes were cute.
“Sick,” said Brayden . “Get a
room.”
I laughed, but had to hold my side from the pain.
“Chase,” said a student from behind. It was one of the
members of the ninja clan. “That was the most awesome thing any of us had ever seen
in our entire lives. It takes a boy to start a fight, but it takes a man to end
one. You ended it with so much honor that my face wants to melt off!”
“Cute picture you paint,” said Zoe.
The boy continued. “We are without a leader now.”
“What about Wyatt?” I asked.
“He’s a coward that just wants to control people and show
how strong he is,” said the boy. “We need a clan leader like you. Brave.
Honorable. Able to stand up to bullies. Not beat them down.”
I nodded. Ninjas were cool, but this whole thing turned out
to be more of a pain than it might’ve been worth. I smiled with blood on my
teeth. “I’ll think about it. How’s that sound?”
“We’ll need to know soon. There are rumors of a pirate
invasion in the near future,” The boy bowed as did the
rest of the clan before turning and walking away.
A pirate invasion? What kind of insane school was this?
“Looks like you might have some friends after all?” Zoe
laughed.
“Maybe,” I said. “That’s if I don’t get expelled.”
“Nobody knows who took the money, and I doubt the teachers
here will make any fuss about it,” said Brayden . “As
long as it’s back, they’re happy.”
Mr. Cooper opened the door to the office and leaned his head
out. He pointed at me and said, “Chase, come in here for a moment please.”
“Am I in trouble?” I asked as I wiped my lip clean with
Emily’s tissue.
Mr. Cooper shook his head. “No, it’s just that you’re a
bloody mess. The nurse should have a look at you to make sure you’re alright.”
I paused as I glanced at Zoe and my friends. I didn’t want
to be lured into the office just to be told I wasn’t welcome at the school
anymore, but understood that it might be happening.
“Look, Wyatt already admitted to the whole thing being his
fault. He broke down the second I shut this door,” Mr. Cooper laughed. “It really is because you’re bleeding all over the carpet. What if a parent walked
in at this second and saw your battered face?”
“I could probably win a dinosaur sized lawsuit,” I replied.
Zoe laughed. Brayden didn’t. Maybe
he didn’t get it.
Mr. Cooper knocked on the wood of the door. “Just get in
here.”
I walked to the office door and pushed it open. I could see
the top of Wyatt’s head over the front counter. He was sitting in the
principal’s office, probably waiting for his parents. How funny. A ninja getting scolded by his parents.
I turned around and took one last look at Zoe. She nodded at
me once, and I
