The game resumed for another twenty minutes before Chase's team lost to Stone's. The score ended up as two and forty-four.

Nothing was said to Stone about his violent streak. The gym teacher appeared far too intimidated to approach him and tell him off.

Stone's face still did not look any less enraged as he crossed his arms over his bulky erratically moving chest and set his sights on me.

When the coach dismissed the class and told everyone to go and get changed, I got up as fast as I could and rushed to get out of the gym hall.

I kept my head down as I fled so I was not expecting to run into a hard surface.

The muscular wall caught me off guard and I stumbled backwards as I bounced against it.

Huge hands carefully gripped onto my waist, keeping me on my feet as I grabbed onto the surface which happened to be a hard chest.

My skin that touched him started to feel heated as I peered up at the large figure who saved me from falling.

What I found was that Stone was looking down at me with a clenched jaw and a darkened gaze.

"Woah. What are you made up of?" I could not help but ask him as I poked his stomach with one of my fingers "Bricks? Titanium? Stone?"

He cocked his head, and he narrowed his eyes down at me. The large hands belonging to him that were set on my waist tightened.

I slowly removed my palms from his chest and made my way around the wall-like obstacle of a man before walking away.

After a long few periods of dissecting a sheep's heart in Biology and watching a Shakespeare adaption in English, I was relieved it was lunch.

I was also relieved that I had remembered to bring a sandwich.

I was deep in thought as I munched at my food. My mind kept going back to the event in gym class.

I had not spoken to Stone all today. I saw him in English but he was in a foul mood so I decided it would be best not to bicker with him or taunt him.

Lana took out her lunch from her bag while motioning to my own "No noodles today?"

"I have learned my lesson." I told her with a roll of my eyes "I still have to pay Lurch back."

"Do you know what the whole gym body slam thing was about?" She queried, her expression turning a little scared as she thought back to gym class.

I opened my can of soda and shrugged "Maybe he didn't like Chase's comment about my t-shirt."

She hummed in response "It seemed like he had a personal vendetta against Chase."

"I guess he doesn't like cat-callers." I said as I thought about it further.
