The Love of Spiderman and the Hulk (CHAPTER 5)

                         CHAPTER 5

                            LOGAN 

  The bell rang through the halls of Ravenview High School, and I got up from my desk to walk to lunch. My mind kept wondering as to why I hadn't seen Tracey that day. Then realization finally hit me across the face like a pimp slap.... You aren't going to see her, your not suppose to be friends, your totally different people. Society wouldn't let us be anything towards each other. The fury boiled up inside me at the thought, but what could I do? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
   Walking into the cafeteria, I searched for my usual spot to see if it was still available. It was. No duh it's still open, everyone knows the loner sits there. Standing in line with my food and paying the cafeteria lady who had more facial hair, then I had myself, I began to walk over to my seat.
   "Hey Loser!"
I ignored the voice hoping it wasn't directed towards me.
   "Logan Trooper I'm talking to you!"
Great...this is just wonderful. I turned around and saw the massive Oliver Stimpleton towering over me. The most popular man in school was talking to me? Wow. Wait...he called me a loser, but hey...he did know my name.
   "What do you want Oliver?"
   "You walked home Tracey the other day. Am I right?"
Why do people insist on getting into my business. So what if I walked Tracey home? Does it really matter? I noticed Oliver shifting in place. He was loosing patience. Good! I hope this punk breaks a hip shifting to his side so much. I laughed at the thought.
   "What's so funny you loner?"
   "Oh nothing Oliver, I can't use very high vocabulary around you and I don't want to repeat myself multiple times."
   "You know what, I think you need to take a visit to my fist."
   "Before we get to that little visit, why do you want to know if I walked Tracey home?"
Oliver lowered his cocked fist and looked around the cafeteria. I don't know why he observed the primisis before speaking to me, but before I could ask why he was doing so, he said in a commanding voice...
   "Tracey Shay is my girl. No guy is going to make the moves on her. You understand what I am tell you? You have no chance in this world to steal her away from me. So I don't ever want to see you try and make a move on her again. Besides look at you.... your nothing but a loser who walks around these halls with no friends."
What I wanted to do and what I did do were two totally different things. What I wanted to do was punch Oliver in the face until it caved in on him. I also knew there wasn't a chance in the world I could do that. So I did what someone my size would do.... answer a question with a question.
   "What does Tracey think about it?"
   "I don't know, nor do I care. She's mine."
   "But does she think your hers?"
I saw Oliver's hand curl up into a fist next to his side. 
   "It doesn't matter, and its none of your business!"
   "Then stay out of ours."
That was the last I remember of our conversation. The next events took place so fast, that I could hardly even remember them happening. Oliver's fist flying into my face, the pain exploding into my nose. Blood, it was everywhere. Darkness soon followed closely behind the blood, and I drifted off into a dream.

                          TRACEY

   I heard a huge commotion coming from the school's cafeteria. Stopping by my locker on the way there, I was running a little bit behind schedule. The commotion continued and there were suddenly screams. That's when I began to run. I heard people start yelling....
   "Oliver what did you do?"
   "Is he dead?"
   "Logan Trooper looks like a dead fish."
Then it all clicked. I began to run harder.

   When I entered into the cafeteria, I saw exactly what I was expecting. Oliver was holding his bloody fist, while Logan laid in a heap on the floor. He wasn't moving. He didn't even look like he was breathing.
   "Oliver what did you do!"
Oliver walked over to me and went to put a arm around my shoulder. I shrugged it off as soon as it was planted solidly around me.
   "What's your problem Tracey? It's just Logan Trooper."
Why did I have such a problem with it? I mean whether I had talked to Logan the night before in his room, I would still be upset, but I probably would still be setting along the sidelines watching it all go down, if it hadn't been for the visit last night.
   "My problem is that you just knocked out my neighbor."
   "So...?"
   "So, you can call our little date on Thursday off."
Oliver cringed and his eyes turned to slits. I grimaced at the sight.
   "Im taking you to the movies Tracey."
   "No your not. Your not taking me anywhere. Ever."
   "Your such a slut."
   "Im a slut? Why is that?... because I wouldn't sleep with you when you first met me? I guess you haven't seen the purity ring on my finger then, have you? Besides this insult is coming from the guy who had sex with his cousin."
Gasps from every direction were heard. Of course Oliver hadn't slept with his cousin. Once it was said though, it would always be remembered and believed. The difference between her being called a slut and the comment of him sleeping with his cousin was....everyone understood me. Everyone knew my conditions. I grew up in this town. Oliver on the other hand...was just a total douchebag. He deserved to get screwed over.
   "That's not true Tracey and you know it!"
   "Do I?...I think not?"
Suddenly the teachers arrived and picked up Logans flimsy body. I overheard one of them say...
   "This doesn't look good, he needs medical attention immediately."
I will kill Oliver. I literally will rip him to pieces. I turned to him...
   "I hate you."
Oliver's face grew a mischevious smile. The teachers grabbed him and started to pull him towards the schools exit. Before he was out the door he hollered back as clear as a bell...
   "Im not even sorry for punching your lovers face in."

My lover? Logan Trooper my lover? This was just great. All the eyes of the students in the cafeteria looked at me with questions forming on their lips. The chapter of my life I was in before today was totally over. Today, was the beginning of a new one. I could already tell, this chapter was going to be full of surprises, and full of tragedy.
