#4 of Opposites Attract


Jason was nearly home when he wrapped up his chat with his aunt. "Well I wish she wasn't like that, I remember how badly she wanted to be on the squad. Well let's hope this teaches her....Yeah, I love you too. Buh bye, and thank you again." With a slap of his phone he placed it in his pocket. "There Kristina, you fuck with me, I'll fuck with you right back. She's going to have a rude awakening tonight."

He walked around the corner and saw his father had left. He sighed in relief and in fear. He knew it was at least going to be quiet when he walked in. Hopefully he wouldn't get the brunt of his mother's wrath if she saw him. He snuck in hearing his mom in her bedroom. It seemed everytime he would walk home after his parents were arguing he could feel the tension in the house. He tried to be as quiet as possible til he made it to his room. He plopped on his bed and looked at his clock which read '6:10'. "Well better get this homework done." He opened the book bag and sprawled his papers all over the bed and began to work.

The next morning he began the same usual routine to get ready for school. Stepping out the house without breakfast again, he made his way to the bus stop. For some reason the younger cubs seemed to have some extra sugar running through their veins. Within minutes of walking to the bus stop Jason found himself wrestling with the young cubs a little before the bus approached. Getting on the bus he sat in his usual seat a little excited about today and how Kristina was going to be.

Nothing special even came about the bus rides to school. The little ones all sitting up at the front of the bus while the older kids sat in back. Many of the kids sitting in their seat, blankly staring out the windows, not saying a word. Others felt a need to try to catch up on some sleep, although that never seemed to work. The bus eventually made it's way to the school's bus loop as the long train of buses waited to let the high school kids off the bus. Jason sat there trying to figure out what he was going to do if he confronted Kristina today and try to figure what irrational thing she would do. Suddenly his thought process was broken as the door to the bus opened thus triggering the mad rush of kids trying to get out.

As Jason stepped off the bus one of his friends walked up to him. "Hey Lynch. Question for ya."

Jason turned and nodded, "Sure Adam, what's up?" He replied as they walked up the front courtyard.

The fox looked around him as if seeing if people were watching them. "Well it's about that skunk girl you've been hanging around with lately."

Jason was getting quite aggervated with people taking such interest in who he had been hanging around with lately. "What about it?" He said, his ears cocking back.

The fox lifted his paws quickly as if showing innocence, "Well it's just. You've been telling everyone that there is nothing going on between you and Kelly but to all of us it seems like there is."

Jason stopped walking and turned and faced the fox, "Look, there is nothing between the two of us. We're not dating or going out. I'm helping her that's all."

The fox looked at Jason with an odd look showing his confusion. "What do you mean you're 'helping her'?"

Jason sighed, "Kelly doesn't have many friends, she seems to be the laughing stock of that school, or the perfect target for someone's prank. She's always alone, never hangs out with people. She's one of the most anti-social people I have ever met in my life. She needs to see that keeping to herself is not the way to go. Due to some recent events, I decided enough was enough. I've been hanging around with her so she could build her confidence. So she can see it's better to hang out with people. Look at it more or less as I'm tutoring her on how to socialize with people."

The fox's face didn't change to much still showing his confusion. "Well alright, I guess." The two started making their way towards the school again. "Aren't you afraid she'll get the wrong idea though?"

Jason turned he suddenly remembered Kelly's comment at the diner yesterday, "What do you mean?" Not wanting to tell Adam she already confessed to Jason she liked him.

"Well are you sure she won't think you like her?"

"Well it's not like I'm dating her."

"I know that man, but think about what you just said."

Jason paused.

"You said yourself she's never hung around anyone before until you. You're probably the only person outside her immediate family who she's talked to. Out of nowhere you show up and you've been hanging out with her. She might get the idea you like her."

"I can consider her a friend. That's all she needed, was a friend."

The fox nodded, "Well then that will be a relief to the girls."

It was Jason's turn to give the confused look, "What do you mean?"

"Well for one, the prom is in three weeks. I know you said you probably weren't going to go. However a few girls were going to try to convince you anyways. They were afraid you may be going with Kelly."

Jason chuckled, "Oh come on. The reason half the people go to the prom in the first place is to fuck the person they went there with afterwards."

The fox grinned and shrugged his shoulders, "And your complaining how? You have an entire buffet of woman who would like to grovel at your feet and your not going to go?"

The two entered the school where the sounds of students talking and hurrying to their lockers filled their ears.

Jason frowned, "That's just it. The purpose of the prom has been tarnished by kids hormonal need to screw something. It was supposed to be for kids who were going out with one another and have a romantic evening. To reflect back on the school year. Mushy crap like that. However, you and I both know we hear more often then not about who's going back to who's house. Who rented a hotel room for the night. Or asking wheres a vacant parking lot. I've been through enough relationships that were like that as it is, and people expect me to do that to something like the prom. No thanks."

The fox chuckled, "You always were an enigma."

Jason took advantage to make fun of Adam. "Oh, enigma! Good word, hmm I don't remember that being on any of our vocabulary list in English class though." Jason crossed his arms and chuckled, "If it wasn't for Spongebob Squarepants you wouldn't know what that meant."

Adam shook his head, "Whatever dude it's a good show. But seriously, if that's how you feel. I don't know about you but getting a chance to fuck the hottest girls in school is a dream for me." The fox began to walk away about to head to class, "You know maybe Kelly wouldn't be that bad of a choice for you after all. For someone who says they don't like her. You seem to be trying extra hard for her." Then in an instant the fox was gone leaving Jason to soak in what he said.

The feline made his way through the hallway where the dressing rooms were so he could get ready for gym class. He wasn't a fan of physical activities first thing in the morning but it was still better then math class. Today was different though. Today was the student's fitness test. Upon walking though the door into the men's locker room, the strong smell of musk and smelly clothes filled his nostrils. He nearly gagged everytime he entered the room. He quickly put on his clothes and stepped out into the hall. Then he walked a little to large wooden doors into the gymnasium. Most of the kids were already there as Jason walked over to the bleachers and sat down. He was already deep in thought about what Adam said earlier. Perhaps Kelly wasn't that bad of an idea to go to the prom with. However something else weighed more on his mind. He was beginning to wonder, knew he was portraying the wrong idea to Kelly. The thing he didn't know was did he want her to get the wrong idea? "For someone who says they don't like her. You seem to be trying extra hard for her." Adam's voice echoed in his mind. He was now beginning to seriously consider what his true intentions were.

Suddenly a loud whistle echoed in the gym. "ALRIGHT KIDDIES!!" A large pit bull walked in the gym, "YES, YOU HEARD RIGHT! TODAY IS THE FITNESS TEST. BOYS OUT TO THE TRACK FOR YOUR MILE RUN!! GIRLS MEET UP WITH YOUR TEACHER FOR YOUR SIT UP AND PUSH UPS!!" The boys all groaned including Jason as they made their way to the outdoor track. After the usual walk-though to run four times around the track and get their times. Soon they all lined up and with a blast from a whistle they were off running.

Jason hated the mile run, it was so pointless, he already ran miles during football practice. Four quick laps passed by quickly as his mind was still preoccupied. "GOOD RUN LYNCH! 5:49!" Jason only raised his paw as he walked over to the side on the grass and layed down. Once he caught his breath he sat up and watched the other furs casually walked and talked around the track. Sweat poured off his muzzle as he tried to regain his energy. After a half hour and the coach got all the student's time they made their way back to the gym.

The boys stood around watching the girls finish up their excersises. Some of them watching the girls in other ways. After a few minutes it was the boys turn. "ALRIGHT BOYS!! WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME LINE UP ON THE MAT! REDDING, WILLIAMS, LYNCH, DANIELSON, SIDOR!" Jason followed the other boys to the mat. First was the sit-ups, "LISTEN FOR THE WHISTLE AND DO A SIT UP! DO AS MANY AS YOU CAN!" Jason layed down and assumed the sit up position. The coach blew his whistle signaling the boys to do a sit up, three seconds later he would blow the whistle again. The last of the four was done by number 43. Jason kept on going strong. He was so damn stubbon to get his abs in better shape, he was doing sit ups in his sleep. 50, 60, 70 he was burning and finally quit at 78. He placed his paw on his burning stomach. "About time Lynch" The pit bull grinned, "...ALRIGHT NEXT FIVE!! JOHNSON,..."

Jason sat and waited as the rest did their sit ups. It was the same for the push ups as well. Building arm endurance so he could throw a football fifty time was another no brainer. It was a repeat performance. The last of the four was done by 31. Jason went strong till 45 before giving up on 52." He sat up and walked back over to the bleachers and reclined back catching his breath. Him and the other boys sat and chatted until the girls came back in. Jason sat up as the women made their way back into the gym. "ALRIGHT KIDDIES YOU HAVE THE REST OF THE PERIODS TO YOURSELF! YOU CAN HANG OUT HERE IN THE GYM AND PLAY SOME BASKETBALL!"

The sound of basketballs echoed throughout the gymnasium as Jason wasn't in the mood to do anymore for the morning. Luckly his boredom was spared as minutes later the bell rang. After a quick change back into his school clothes, Jason hurried down the hallway to his next class. He didn't get far when suddenly he felt a pair of paws grabbed him and dragged him into a vacent classroom.

The feline was startled to see the owner of the paws was a very distraught Kristina. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" With that, a paw raced across his face with a hard slap.

Jason only grinned at the vixen, "How does it feel?" Kristina only snarled, only egging Jason on more. "Aw, what's wrong. You can dish it out but you can't take it? I told you not to fuck with me nor any of my friends but when I found out what you did to Kelly yesterday I decided to really make you pay."

The vixen showed her teeth, "YOU GOT ME KICKED OFF THE CHEERLEADING SQUAD YOU COCKSUCKER!" Tears matting her fur as it ran down her face.

"You deserved it. Assaulting another student is punishable by suspension which I knew you didn't care about. So I decided to make you pay with something you do care about." Jason felt the grip on his arms get tighter as her claws painfully dug into his arms.

"WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THAT LITTLE CUNT ANYWAYS?!"

He only chuckled, "For one she's a nice girl. Her feelings for me are true, she like's me for who I am. Not what I am or what I do. She like's Jason."

The vixen sniffed as she faught back tears, "So you do like her."

It was then and there Jason made his decision, "At first, I didn't. Seeing girls like you however, has made me realize perhaps I might have feelings for her as well. She doesn't play two-face with me, she's real. Then you got jealous." He only smirked more, "OH, when you found out my aunt was the cheerleading coach, I remembered how you groveled and begged for me to give you the good word....and this is how you pay me back." His paw grabbed her arm as he pulled her off of him, "I told you once Kristina. DON'T fuck with me." He pointed in her face with claws extended. He turned around and opened the door. He stopped and turned to the vixen, "By the way...thanks for letting my nightmares know what those paws feel like."

With that Kristina slapped him again in the face, this time claws extended. With a stinging pain her claws grabbed hold of skin. Jason only looked at her with a grin, blood seeping through his white face fur. "I'll let that one slide." With that he made his way out the door. Jason stepped out back into the hallway, noticing the hallway was nearly empty. He began to head towards his next class when he placed his paw on his cheek. He whinced as a sharp pain shot through his face. He removed the paw and saw it was covered in blood. "God Damnit..."

He turned down an alternate hallway and headed for the nurse's ofice. A little while later he walked in holding his face. The elder wolfess nurse looked up and was a little shocked, "Oh my!" She stood up and walked over to Jason.

Jason only Chuckled, "Hey Mrs. Livingston I need a little help."

The nurse went and grabbed a first aid kit, "Jason, what happened sweetie?"

He grinned a little, "I apperently pissed someone off." With that he felt the old paws move his own from his face.

She walked him over to the sink washing the blood from his fur so she could see what she was doing. "Goodness these are deep Jay..."

"Like I said, I really pissed someone off." He replied, still thinking about Kristina.

Mrs. Livingston dampened a clotch with alcohol and pressed it against his face. Jason closed his eyes and held his breath as pain surged through his face. The nurse grabbed some butterfly stitches and began to seal up the four slashes on his face. She then coated it with jelly to stop the bleeding. "Do you want to go to the principle's office to take care of this matter?

Jason walked into the bathroom and took a look at his face and sighed, "Nah, I deserved it."

The wolfess only shook her head, "Do you want me to call your mom?"

He shook his head trying to comb over the bandages with his face fur, not being successful. "No, can I just have a pass to my next class explaining why I am late?"

She only shrugged as she headed to her desk and pulled out a hall pass. Jason stepped out of the bathroom as she handed him the note, "Thank you ma'am."

With that he was out the door and quickly headed to his next class. He made his way to english class and knocked on the door. A tall great dane opened the door as his eyes widened looking at Jason's face, "Jason?" Jason handed him the note and walked in the classroom. Within an instant everyone's eyes were glued to his face as kids began to chit-chat. He sat down at his desk as if nothing had happend. Deep down inside he knew it was a small price to pay for getting Kristina back as all he could muster was another grin.
