Shark attack
Any second now, it was gonna happen. Jake was gonna get beat up. He knew it...and his teary eyes remained squeezed closed. As soon as Kyle's hand left his neck, Jake flinched and whimpered, waiting for the pain...but it didn't come. There was nothing but silence.
Shuddering at the bad word that Kyle had yelled, but not knowing what was going on, Jake slowly and cautiously dared to raise his head. What he saw he didn't understand. Kyle looked sick - like he was about to throw up. Or like he had a headache...a bad one. But whatever had come over him only seemed to make him angrier. Jake flinched again as Kyle's hand moved forward sharply but all he did was point towards the castle. Jake still couldn't move, not knowing what to do or what it was that had just happened. What was going on...?
Kyle told him to get out, but the memory of being chased and tackled was still fresh in Jake's head. What if it was all a trick...? But it didn't LOOK like one. On another day, Jake may have been worried by the suffering going on in front of him, but now he was still terrified and didn't want to be anywhere near Kyle...he wanted to get far away....Somehow he managed to scramble to his feet. He ran then, heart pounding, ran and ran back to the castle, and kept running until he made it all the way back to Hufflepuff common room.
His sketchbook remained face-down in the grass.
