Crusader: Champion of the Dark One

Chapter 2

Time skip: Lunch Time

It was lunchtime and Jason was headed to the cafeteria. He had finally calmed down from the events of the morning and just wanted this day to be over with.

“Jason”, someone yelled from behind him.

“George, haven’t seen you all day”

“Yeah just got in”

“Lucky you’re rich and not a welfare student like some of us otherwise you’d be in for a talk down”.  Jason grumbled

“Yikes, what’s with the mood”. George asked

“Nothing just got a run-in with Mrs. Amelia and Alex being a jerk, you know what don’t wanna talk about it”. Jason said as he grabbed his food and started to walk towards their usual table only to freeze in his tracks as he saw Alex with a couple of his friends sitting together with Jessica at their table chatting.

“Woah, since when was the ‘King’ of the school friends with Jessica?” George whispered to Jason

“ Don’t know but I guess he must really like her since he’s been giving me threats since the morning, telling me to stay away from her”. Jason replied

“Seriously, I thought he only dated cheerleaders, and to think Jessica would be friends with him after knowing what he does to you.”

“Well, I guess his taste changed and as for Jessica I think she also got blinded by the façade even though she knows his true character who knows,” Jason said a little annoyed as Jessica who was laughing with Alex.

“So what are you gonna do,” George said looking at his friend with sad eyes since he knew that his friend liked Jessica and how much he hated Alex and by that anyone in association with him.

“Ignore them and find somewhere else to sit, it’s not like I control who she befriends,” Jason said with a sigh

“Well, got to go,” George said as his phone started beeping, “duty calls I’ll see you later”. George said feeling a little guilty as he turned and left

Jason turned around and went to find a new table or at least he tried to until he heard Jessica call his name, he thought about just walking off but still turned around to look at her.

“Jason, join us”.

“No, it’s okay wouldn’t want to intrude”, Jason said looking at Alex and then back to Jessica, “ plus I don’t really mix with this type of crowd,” said Jason coldly turning to walk away

“Yeah run along welfare who’d want to sit with a welfare like you”,  said one of the guys sitting on the table as they all snickered at what he said

“John!” …. exclaimed Jessica at the fellow who said that

“What, I just said what everyone was thinking”, John replied

Jason felt that same anger he’d felt before starting to building up in him he placed his tray down and walked up to the guy before saying, “I dare you to say that again” Jason said while glaring at the guy as his green eyes started glowing a bit. The guy seeing this felt a bit of fear and almost thought of apologizing but he heard Alex speak.

“Now, now let’s all calm down, we’re all friends here”,  Alex said with a smile that made me want to puke

“Sorry friend, I’ll rather die than be friends with you”

“Jason, Alex is just being nice so why don’t you let the misunderstanding between you guys go and try to get along with him”.

Listening to what Jessica said, Jason felt something snap inside him and lost his temper and yelled at her saying, “Hump, try to get along with him, for so many years now this prick has made my life in this school a living hell, he and his friends bullied me every single day in this school and you know that, thanks to he and his friends there is not a single day in this school that I’m not reminded that I’m just a charity case this fucking school took pity on and that no matter how much I try I’ll never be as good as them and you call that a misunderstanding, how about the time he and his goons beat me up so bad I was hospitalized for a week was that also a misunderstanding or when they threw me in front of a fucking car was that also a misunderstanding”.

Jessica looked down guiltily as Jason raged on, she visibly paled as Jason went on hammering all the points in, she knew she’d really fucked up things between her and Jason now, but that was when Jason delivered another devastating blow.

“You know maybe I misjudged you, thinking of you as a friend because if you really were you’d at least consider my feelings and you wouldn’t have said what you said as if everything that happened was just a joke and to be brushed aside just like that and to think I thought I was in-love with you all you rich pricks are all the same”. Jason said looking at Jessica

Jason was too angry to care about anything he said in front of everyone in the cafeteria she felt all the frustration he felt come out just like that and with that he turned around to leave, leaving everyone stunned but then he felt someone grab him on the shoulder and turned only to meet the fist of Alex and then nighty night.
