Aaron walked out of the classroom to go to his locker. It was the end of the day and he was planning on going home and then heading to the shop to get a head start on the list of things he had to do for work. He worked as a mechanics assistant since he was too young to work officially as a mechanic. he loved cars and that was something that took his mind of off things. It also helped him cope with the car accident that had killed his parents and could have killed him. He felt much better knowing that he could fix a car and make it safe for others so that the same thing was prevented at a higher level than what his accident was.

Aar paid attention to getting back to his locker, so much so that he did not pay attention to the fact that a couple jocks were walking past. one of them was involved with one of the popular girls and all of them thought it was great to pick on the quiet kid that never fought back. So the head of the "pack" smirked and walked over to Aaron when he stopped at his locker. "Hey aaron." the jock said and aaron knew some sort of remark was coming. But he ignored the jock. "Hey! pay attention!" The guy said, but aaron stayed where he was. It didn't take long for the other guy to get pissed off and slam him against the lockers. "How dare you ignore me!" He said through his teeth. Aaron stood against the lockers and just looked at the guy. He wasn't sure of what to do and was not a fighter. He didn't fight back when it came to these things. Though he was sure he could if he had wanted to.

BUT I GOT YO BACK!

Avery pushed open the Academy entrance doors holding them open as he walked through for some teacher her presumed. The first thing he noticed about this school was the teachers didn’t really seem to care about their students. Once that last bell rang, they were gone. He hated kids to but, damn. Do you fuckin’ job. That is why he was here. Just doing his job. And today he even came a little early to practice. That was kind of because he had to today. Some dumb ass kid had apparently broken into the storage closet and destroyed a lot of the equipment. Avery liked to do stupid stuff to, but not to the extent of destroying property. Avery pulled his black Nike duffle bag up higher onto his shoulder as her turned the corner into the main corridor. He never really paid attention to the drama that came with high school life. Been there done that. He just stayed out of it. But it was hard not to hear some of the stuff that went on at the school. He could hear some guy yelling at his girlfriend about her possibly cheating on him with the star football player. He could hear some chick bitchin’ out some other chick about what she apparently posted on Facebook. He could also hear the slam of something up against a locker. This caught his attention more than any of the other sounds. Probably because Avery had a good idea before even looking over to the sound that it was a body. Avery could see a guy holding a blondish brown haired kid up against the lockers. It wasn’t a friendly scene. The guy seriously looked like he wanted to punch the kids face in. It was definitely bullying. Bullying that Avery was quite familiar with. He was never really bullied in school. Probably because he was blessed with fitting in and being popular. But the main reason for that was because he didn’t take shit from people. And when he saw this kid at this moment letting this guy get all up in his face, Avery wanted to intervene. It most likely had something to do with Tanner. Tanner was always getting picked on in high school. He couldn’t understand why people seemed so bored with their lives that they had to mess with others. Avery quickly jogged over to the two guys. “Hey, hey, hey!” Avery grabbed the guy from behind jerking him backwards. This kid looked huge compared to Avery. No doubt he could get his lights knocked out within a few seconds. That is why Avery had to talk down to him. Be the bully. The guy was surprised when he was yanked backwards. He turned looking at Avery with a glare. Avery didn’t back down though. He glared back with a smirk on his face. “Oh I’m sorry. Did I ruin your moment of domination? Why don’t you just go back to beating on cats for now, okay?” The guy must have known Avery was a part of the faculty because he just glared walking away with his friends. Avery watched them. “That’s right The Incredible Hulk!” Avery was so happy that the guy didn’t hall off and punch him. He knew how to defend himself, but up against that guy, there was no way he would have made it out without a few bruises and possibly some broken bones. His eyes moved back to the kid that was being bullied. He smirked. “Did you like that? The Incredible Hulk remark? Totally pulled that out of my ass.” Avery grinned. He didn’t mean to be immature about situations, but that’s just what happened. He couldn’t help it.

Aaron winced a little when the guy threw him against the locker and held him there tightly. His grip wasn't light and the feeling of the metal behind him being pushed into his back just hurt. He never said anything to the guy, unsure of exactly what to say. Soon someone came up behind the older guy and flung him back. Aaron was then let go and he lost his balance and fell to the floor. He frowned a bit and mumbled a quiet 'ow' before looking up and seeing what else was going on. There was a guy Aaron had only seen a couple of time, standing in front of the senior highschooler. He seemed to be trying to difuse the situation and it ended up working.

Aaron got up off of the ground as the three seniors walked away. He brushed off his jeans just as a small reaction and picked up his bookback slinging it over his shoulder. He watched the other three leave that part of the school and then he looked around the hall. He didn't want to make eye contact with the guy infront of him, just because that was the way he was. Aaron heard what the guy was saying and gave a small smirk. "Yea. that was a bit funny." he said and shifted his bag absentmindedly on his shoulder. He wasn't very loud at times, and this was one of those times.

Avery nodded but could barely hear him. Avery shook his head. “Man oh man. You gotta speak up. That’s the first step to getting those guys off your back. I’m betting this isn’t the first time that has happened? You seemed like it was no big deal. Almost like it was an everyday thing?” Avery waited for a response. He wanted to step closer because he was sure this response would probably be as quiet or even quieter than the last one. But he didn’t. The kid had just had his space invaded. He didn’t need that again. He had never seen this kid before around school. There didn’t seem to be anything special about him. But looks could definitely be deceiving. His best friend Tanner was a prime example. When Avery first helped Tanner with his bullying problem ages ago, he had grown up looking like a complete nerd. But because of that encounter, Avery had met his life-long best friend. Avery shook his head. “I’m sorry man. I don’t mean to pry at all. I just figured you could use a hand, you know? There’s no harm in that, right?”

Aaron walked down the hall with the guy and listened to him speak. He knew he was quiet but he had no idea who this guy was and didn't exactly know how to respond to him. But he didn't seem like a bad guy, so maybe Aaron didn't have to worry. He looked over at Avery and nodded. "yea. it happens almost everyday now. i've learned to expect it." He replied and adjusted his bookbag on his shoulder again. He really didn't take anything that happened to heart anymore, since it happened so often it just seemed normal now. If it didn't happen, then he would kind of wonder.

Aar walked quietly and listened to everything he was saying to him. He knew all he was doing was trying to help, and he had helped. the last thing aaron wanted to do was to say that he hadn't and to make him feel bad. He shook his head and smiled a bit. "No, i appreciate it. you did the right thing." He nodded. "I do thank you for that." He said. Aaron really did appreciate it.

Avery smiled. “Awesome! Appreciation is always appreciated.” It sounded rather weird, and he wished he hadn’t said it. But most of the things Avery said, never came out the way they were supposed to. It was whatever. He was sure this guy wouldn’t mind either way as long as he was nice to him. After a few minutes of talking with him, Avery had completely forgotten that he hadn’t even introduced himself. “Oh, I’m sorry. Totally forgot.” Avery held out his hand. “I’m Avery Warren, the new basketball coach for the girls’ team.” He hoped that he would get a name out of this guy. At least that way he would know who he was talking to. “So, what do you normally do when they pick fights with you?” Avery asked watching him. The guy did say that he appreciated his help, so his guidance could be used. He would feel weird about helping a person that didn’t want to be helped. It would be a waste of Avery’s time and a waste of this kid’s.

Aaron nodded in understanding of what he meant. It did sound a bit weird but it didn't matter. Many things sounded weird but there were sometimes only a few ways that you could actually say them anyways. He looked over at him and stopped. They hadn't introduced themselves, may as well take the chance now then. Aaron shook his hand and nodded. "aaron casper. just a student here." He said. "So then you know who Maddison Kinglsey is." He said. She was on the basketball team and many other teams. Aaron had never been to a game, but he never really was interested in any sports. His focus was on cars mostly.

Aaron let go of Avery's hand after shaking it and realized he went back to talking about what happened earlier with the other guys. Aaron shrugged at his question. "Usually i just let it go and ignore it. I'm not much of a fighter so i never really fight back." He answered. It was the truth. There was nothing else he could say to it, that was just how he was.

Avery nodded when the guy told him his name. He had never heard the name before, but that was to be expected. The only high schoolers he was familiar with were the ones he coached, which only consisted of ten to twelve girls. But not all high schoolers were annoying. His girls weren’t, Melissa wasn’t, and neither was this Aaron guy. So, there was probably no harm in being friends with people there. He could be the older brother type to a lot of them. He was only twenty-one. When Aaron asked about Maddison, Avery smiled. “Yeah, I know Maddie. Great basketball player. You friends with her?” Avery already knew that this was the Aaron he heard Maddison talking about. Avery didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but when he was on a court full of girls, that was all he heard. And Maddie definitely liked to talk. He wouldn’t tell Aaron that though. That was definitely not his place. When Aaron answered about the fighting, Avery assumed that was what Aaron would say. That is what most people did when people messed with them. Basically just ignore it in hopes that the problem would work itself out. And most parents did suggest that as a solution. But it didn’t help anyone except the bully himself. Bullies looked for people like that to mess with. It was easy prey to use to make themselves look bigger and bader because all they had to do was walk all over the weakling. If there was no retaliation, the bully would keep coming back knowing that each time would be the same. But who really wanted to fight back? With the school system the way it was, the principal didn’t look at ‘oh I was just trying to defend myself’. If you fight at all, you’d get suspended, which Avery didn’t agree with one bit. But he wasn’t going to tell this guy to go beat up on everyone that wronged him. That would be a nightmare. “Hey man, I know the fighting thing is not fun and could probably get you in a ton of trouble. So to steer clear of fighting, just be the better man. Get up in his face and show him who’s boss. Find out his weaknesses and play on those. And if he punches you because you piss him off, let him. Take it like a man. I know it’ll hurt like hell, but make it look like it didn’t. Once everyone else sees that you took the punch without backing down, they will be less likely to think it’s cool for him to do it again. At the end of the day, he’ll walk away with a few days suspension, and you’ll walk away with no more harassment. Presto!”
