From underdogs to top dogs

Chapter 21

I'm hoping that I got the Spanish translations ok. I used Google translate so it should be fine just don't hold me against it 😂. Enjoy.

Rocky was out of bed like a shot on this particular morning, it had been six weeks since he and Zuma were beaten and it was Zuma's first day back at school.

His injuries had healed and he could see clearly now, much to everyone's relief. Rocky had lost his cast and crutches, now able to walk and run like normal. The group hadn't started defending themselves or each other yet but they planned on trying to as of now.

Skye smiled when Rocky ran to Zuma's locker and hugged him tightly.

"It's good to have you back." He whispered, kissing his boyfriend's cheek.

"It's good to be back." Zuma returned. The group of friends smiled at the couple but, of course, one onlooker had to voice their opinion. It was Carley.

"Fags!"

"Just because they can get more boys than you!" Everest yelled, making her friends laugh and everyone else stare at her. The School's intercom buzzed and the principals voice came through the speakers.

"Could Skye and Rocky Chatswood-Smith please report to the principal's office."

The pair looked at each other and shrugged.

"See ya later guys." They said and turned to go. As they walked past Ashlynne, she sniggered and turned to her friends.

"Can you smell something? It smells like sweat, hideousness and shame."
Knowing that they were referring to her, Skye turned around but continued walking in the same direction as her brother.

"I'm surprised you can smell anything Ash, we all know your nose is fake." She smiled innocently.

Ashlynne gave her a stone hard glare and was about to say something but decided against it. Skye smiled and waved, turning to face where she was going.

"Caio!"

Rocky laughed at the blonde and high fived her.

"Savage!"

"I know." She giggled and the pair quickly made their way to the office.

Once they were there, Skye knocked on the door and opened when she was told to.

"You wanted to see us Principal Ryder Sir?" She said.

"Yes, you're not in trouble don't look so scared Rocky." Skye rolled her eyes when she looked at her brother.

"What was it you wanted us for Sir?" Skye enquired.

"We have a new student joining us and I was wondering if you two could show him round and help him settle in?"

"Sure but, and I don't mean to sound rude when I say this, why us?"

"Well you're both A grade Spanish students and Tracker is Spanish. His English isn't very good so I thought you two might be able to help him."

"Ok. No problem Sir."

"Can you meet him at reception in ten minutes, you'll be excused for any lates today."

"Sure thing. Thank you Sir."

The siblings walked down to the schools reception and waited for this new student. A boy about their age with brown hair and a white streak, walked in. He seemed nervous. Skye walked over to him, guessing that it was Tracker.

"Hola." She smiled. The boy's face relaxed and he smiled at Skye.

"Hola, soy nuevo aqui, mi nombre es Tracker."
(Hi I'm new here, my name's Tracker)

"Soy Skye y este es mi hermano Rocky, se nos ha pedido que los mostremos."
(I'm Skye and this is my brother Rocky, we've been asked to show you around.)

"Vale, muchas gracias."
(Ok, thank you.)

Later that day, the friends and Tracker were sat at their table enjoying lunch. Marshall, Chase, Zuma, Rubble and Everest knew some Spanish so they could have some communication with the new boy. While Skye was teaching them some Spanish, her and Rocky were also teaching Tracker some English.

Suddenly, Brianna and the brats walked past and sniggered. All of them spoke Spanish as well but didn't know how good Skye and Rocky were.

"No sé por qué están molestando, es una causa perdida."
(I don't know why they're bothering, he's a lost cause.)

Tracker hung his head in shame as Skye glared after the friends. As they walked away, in fluent Spanish, Skye called after them.

"Como dijiste que era, pero mírame ahora. Al menos estoy tratando de ser amable con alguien nuevo, pero una vez más, todos ustedes encuentran que es imposible. algunas cosas nunca cambian."
(just like you said I was but look at me now. at least I'm actually trying to be nice to someone new but then again, you all find that impossible. Some things never change.)

The three stared at Skye, that was the second time that day that she had back talked them. The blonde turned to Tracker who looked just as shocked at Skye's response.

"Ignóralos, no creemos que seas una causa perdida."
(Ignore them, we don't think you're a lost cause.)

Tracker smiled and thanked the group, in perfect English making them smiled back.

"Year dije que podías hacerlo." Rocky said.
(Told you that you could do it.)
