A Fix in Time ~Benlos~

A/N: This Chapter is very side character heavy i.e Lonnie, Doug, Jane, Chad etc..., I just felt like giving them some flare since I really ignored them in the last book. Also a little bit of Doug/Chad sweetness in there (They are not going to become a couple I promise)

Chad's POV

"What do you mean I can't be on the team anymore?!" I yelled at the coach, this was complete trash!

"Your grade is slipping in English and you know my rule! Being on this team is a privilege, the moment you start to slack off academically, you're cut off!" He yelled back at me more aggressively.

"This is garbage! At least put me on the bench and give me a chance to make it up! You can't just skip strike 1 and 2 and give me a strike 3!" I retort and he sighs.

"Ya know what, kid, fine. I'll give you two weeks to change your grade from an F to a C. If it is below a C in exactly 336 hours, you're cut from the team," He says coldly before walking off. I sigh and gather my stuff, no need to practice if I'm on the bench for 2 weeks.

This suck! I hate it when all the adults try to make an example out of me.

"Hey Chad," I look up to see Hooky and Carlos walking together, Carlos looked very upset and I wanted to show my support but it seemed like Hooky had it under control.

"Hey Hooky, Hey Carlos," I responded with a smile and Carlos gave me one back. We all continued our separate ways, me to my room and them to wherever they were planning on going.

Back to what I was saying though, I hate it when teachers try to make an example out of me. They think that because I'm Prince Charming's son that I was raised spoiled and privileged, so as a way of karma I guess, whenever they have the chance to publicly punish/humiliate me, they don't waste it.

Honestly, though, they couldn't be more wrong, I actually wasn't raised spoiled at all. My mom, or as you know her, Cinderella, wanted me to grow up with an appreciation for the things I had, like her. I'm not mad at her for it either, I'm actually very happy she did that, but she also didn't raise me to just take whatever from anyone. That's probably why I come off rude and mean sometimes.

I walked into my room and dropped my bag of gear on the floor and plopped down on my bed and groaned, this sucks! I know I said it already but it does, I've never done anything, never had any behavioral problems, my grades have always been good until now, they still are, just not English.

As I leaned up from the bed to go to the bathroom I heard a knock on my door and I couldn't help but groan, I didn't feel like seeing anyone right now.

"Who is it?" I yell.

"It's Doug!" I sigh before getting up to answer the door. Doug wasn't a bad guy, sure he came off dorky at first but when you get to know him he's actually really cool.

"What is it, Doug?" I ask after I opened the door.

"I heard you were here, why aren't you at practice?" He asks, walking into the room. I sigh and shut the door before turning back to him.

"The coach, he's doing the thing," I say to him and he pats the spot next to him on the bed. Here's the backstory with Doug and me, I used to bully him... bad.

When the teachers first started giving me hell I had all of this frustration from it, I couldn't talk to anyone so I kinda just started taking my anger out on other people. Doug was just unfortunate that he moved here at the same time this all started, when he did I moved from taking my anger out on everyone, to taking it out on just him.

I never like threatened to kill him or anything, that would be crazy, no I just mostly shoved him against the locker and verbally make his life hell, but then he caught me.
