It’s been 2 days since Nao left school but he left a noticeable impact. Trevor, has been training for the rematch, bullies are a bit scared to approach us, and most importantly… 344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuVvtxFPpM

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfsqyJQIUw
Mat: “And when Nao comes back, he’ll take the position of King. After what you told us he was fighting evenly with him. I’m sure after a month of training, he’ll be way stronger.”

Velo: “Besides, we won’t be as fast as Nao. Why even try?”
…344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E3hipkprd
They’re right, we don’t have Arc or a game system. Anything we try won’t change us as much.

I get our bags and leave the library while trying to stay hidden from bullies. They might be scared of Nao but they’re not scared of us. It only takes one person and-

Everyone in the hallway stops and watches as Trevor walks up to us. Their intense gaze falls upon us like a wave and breaks our fragile cover.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVWj3qlpfr
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoMgXVFt4o
Trevor: “So, have you guys seen Nao recently? I couldn’t get an answer out of Alyson so how about you?”

Mat steps in front of us and puffs up his chest. What the hell is he doing. This won’t make up for what he did. Talking to Trevor is terrifying but not that bad.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLP9nPTrXc
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2vchvKobh

Trevor: “Great, I hope he’s getting ready for our next fight. I just can’t stop thinking about it. I still have the badge on my face to remember him”

Creepy.

We collectively sighed and inched past Trevor. Everyone’s gaze still followed our every move but I don’t care. We just dodged a bull-

Trevor: “And the other hand.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptZzhi6qBD
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvxXTKOVpp
We instantly stopped and felt the air cool sharply. We look around to Trevor with his head turned toward us.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMUNIoXm4W
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEH0xr2LyC
Trevor: “If Nao was that strong, maybe one of you can give me a warm-up? Do one of you…want to fight?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY02ZS25ZGt
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsygmVzJ1X
Instantly, we begin to shiver uncontrollably. I can see it in his eyes, we’re nothing but cattle and prey to him. He towers over our lives and casts a shadow over any possibility of escaping.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUPMGyaffK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzh5WQKzwz
But what makes me shiver isn’t fear. No, it’s hatred for those around us. I quickly look around to see people running away, giggling, or watching us with some sick anticipation. Is this…entertainment to you fucking creatures!

For a moment those parasites look elsewhere, to the queen. They start mumbling like flies around shit. And we’re just in the middle of this clown show, waiting to get out.

As if nothing happened, we return to the background where we belong. The show must go on. We were just a commercial in their “exciting” lives.

I open the door to see an even taller and muscular Nao training his body. It’s got to the point where he’s starting to tower over us too. 2 inches from being just like the bullies…

The rest of them laugh and talk all the way to the front door. I can’t help but follow the crowd and laugh along. I didn’t have to do that in a long time…

Nao: “Hey guys?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMmQ8drYlJ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdXHG5wpLR
We look back at Nao standing at the threshold of the door. He looks down seemingly worried about us leaving maybe.

Nao: “After I deal with Trevor there’s something I should tell you. It might shock you but I want to make sure we’ll still be friends afterward.”

Shouldn’t it depend on what the secret is…

We say our goodbyes and head to our separate homes. Of course, I am the first to leave the group. I live far away from my friends, in a place of Hillview I would never take my friends to.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyHQbaka2G
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfu4y8IKTv
I look up to the darkening sky and sigh.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOaEHPNT82
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5BFaE0Eqx
So this is it…our one hope is gone. Nao is a fool, a kind naive fool.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWi4niH5ro
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxcirfCGH2
Nothing will change if we don’t beat those monsters into the ground! Maybe even killing one as an example. How else are we supposed to walk through school with our heads held up? It’s…not fair that Nao can do that…

But that’s how it usually is. I look to the reflective surface of the light pole and can’t help but feel sick.

Anthony: “Once again, I’m the dwarf of the group. With Nao gone and all grown up, I might become the official Napoleon tomorrow. Hahaha…”

I look away and stifle the fear threatening to escape up my throat. I refuse to be scared of those bastards. I’ll keep my dignity at least.

I put it out of my head and suck up the tears. I run home and hope I’m not too late to receive even a bit of comfort.

I fix myself some food and take the poorly made mess back to my room. I force myself to eat my dinner as time marches ahead without me.

Eventually, the time comes for the meteor shower. I go to my window and watch them shoot across my vision. I quickly take a poor photo on my broken phone.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HFfiaAns0
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI6A1ZeXFu
I look down at the cracked version of the shower in the sky.

I collapse on my mat on the floor and stare at the dirty ceiling. Then a strange memory pops into my head. The first time I saw a meteor show with my parents…and the last time I didn’t want to wish for anything.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWlwAtlEl5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXUMtxFQJw
I get off my mat and go back to the window to see the falling stars. I cup my hands, close my eyes, and wish on one of the stars flying across the sky.

Anthony: “…I wish for vengeance and…the power to take it. Power that…Nao doesn’t deserve anymore. I don’t want to be like this anymore.”344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUay7I4C9t
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlb2rTkRbT
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgtidqjevL
I open my eyes to see the stars still falling, ignorant of my wish.

Anthony: “As per usual, I’m ignored. After all, I’m not one of you.”

I reach out to the sky swirling with white fire. After 5 breaths I close my hand wishing to crush those flames that scar my skin every day. When I pull my hand back though…

Anthony: “W-What?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjRiUXbZoP
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfqNnNKdz5
Within my hands, a light shines through the cracks of my fingers. I open it to find something I always wished for.

As I feel the energy within my hands I realize what it actually is.
