The Rejects | Joey Trotta

Leslie's POV

"87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92" the glasses guy said. He glared at me and Ricky while he counted.
"They can go" he mumbled to Luis. How do I even know his name?

"You can go!" He yelled at us. "Get out!"
We all walked out of the cafeteria. "What a douche" Ricky told me. I chuckled.
The headmaster opened the school doors and all the students ran out.

We all walked down the stairs and the students began having fun.
"Hey" Joey walked towards me and kissed my cheek. "Hi" I said
"How's your leg?" He asked
"Great. Never better" I said with a smile. He laughed slightly. "Have you heard from your father?" I asked him

I could sense he was annoyed. He looked down at the grass "no" he said
"I don't even wanna go back there" he said
"What do you mean?"
"My fucking dad. He's an asshole, I don't wanna go back" he said. I could see the anger in his eyes.

"I'm sorry"
"It's okay" he said
"Does he want you out of here?"
Joey just nodded and bit his bottom lip. "You'll be okay" I said
"How? With a fucking excuse of a father?"
"Joey" I whispered. "You'll be okay"

He just hesitated and looked down at the grass.
"You'll be fine" I said
"Hey I'm gonna go inside, I need my jacket" I smiled
"It's hot out. Are you sure?" He asked. I nodded. "Alright" he smiled and kissed my forehead.

I waved at him before running up the stairs. "Where are you going?" A guard asked me
"I need my jacket" I said rather mean.
He frowned and told me to go. I ran in the building.

"Hey!" I heard a yell
My head darted to the yell. It was that asshole. "Get over here" he said. I could see his gun in his left hand.

"Why?" I asked
"Now!" He yelled.

I walked towards him slowly. But he grabbed my elbow and dragged me to the headmaster's office.

"What's going on?" I asked
He threw me onto a chair. "Shut up" he glared at me. He tied ropes around my hands, my legs, and my waist, around a chair.

"What are you doing?"
"One of my men said he saw you wandering around the halls last night" he said as he pulled up a chair in front of me.

"We were just talking I swear" I said as he sat down
"Listen. Miss Shrader. You seem like a nice kid, but you don't want to fuck with me, I'm warning you" he said. More like he threatened

I frowned at him
"So tell me miss Shrader, what does your father work as?" Luis asked
"He's a criminal. At night he goes into a van and robs about three or four banks with a million dollars in each bag" I said

"Really?" He asked, fascinated.
"No, he owns a TV company" I said with a raised eyebrow. He frowned at me with his grip tightened around his gun.

He got closer "I don't like sarcasm, miss Shrader" he said rudely
"Good for you, that's good" I said jokingly. I can't believe I was actually confident. I thought I'd bawl my eyes out.

"I don't want to have to do this to you" he said as he raised his gun in front of my head.

"Guys, where's Les?" Joey walked up to billy and the others. "What do you mean where's Les, we thought she was with you" Billy said

"What do you mean she's with me? I thought She's with you" Joey said
"She's not" snuffy said
"Where is she?" Joey asked
"I don't know" Billy said.

Joey's heart sunk. He was worried, really worried. He ran all the way to the stairs "where are you going?" The guard asked

"One of your guards needs me"
The man just frowned at him "I swear" Joey said
