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… 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQXWvF612j

429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDx8SoV3Y4
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.”

…429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7omLvXzy5k
They’re right, we don’t have Arc or a game system. Anything we try won’t change us as much.

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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiVrqsY6gT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOefffSDVFT
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aIVIVc2wi
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny8t4rIOx2

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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQN0Ts3Vt9

We instantly stopped and felt the air cool sharply. We look around to Trevor with his head turned toward us.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1p2ffgdHi

Trevor: “If Nao was that strong, maybe one of you can give me a warm-up? Do one of you…want to fight?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7I0rmRHug
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv3B9XRSby
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg5XvzuUJE
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0sBPxgSur
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.

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…

429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy5rLvmski
Tallow: “That would actually be terrifying.”

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…
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW9QA6Z8P4
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqbCo9yDji
Nao: “Hey guys?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiafc3ShAC
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY7KJ208ox
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOI3PDhEYs
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPofx7xf24
I look up to the darkening sky and sigh.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnA63bhkIK
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VIkER34eH
So this is it…our one hope is gone. Nao is a fool, a kind naive fool.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwq6h4AJCv
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Z3YQ7kCo
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMMIQ16N8f
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOVP7bOB8t
I look down at the cracked version of the shower in the sky.

Anthony: “Heh, stuff like this used to be magical before I met Nao.”

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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SvfQ7fPr6
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLOOQTEZnZ
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.”429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn1NZgHmZH
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K0RQWcdJe
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDy4q7VFcw
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…
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpaaxO7cJs
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJJuIpcp2F
Anthony: “W-What?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoqpEpXGxM
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvoM3Sp8WR
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.
