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… 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oiAzPgGx2

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?”
…394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJfvVmNz24
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNFMMCUwhe

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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mdzq2BgTV
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw5ArjIz6S

Creepy.

Trevor: “And the other hand.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsxmjCZ5PV

394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rjA7jnLmF
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9T8dbZOHx
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3DIaREAEQ
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP2jrE4hxf
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!

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…

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…
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIciMVBKk7E
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrEPqTcAkU
Nao: “Hey guys?”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndCPfm1fXq
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPQqv5mtmJ
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.”

Velo: “Me too.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBRWM3FXbe

Shouldn’t it depend on what the secret is…

Anthony: “…Sure.”

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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RW2GUaNxI
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFzqwHEpoT
I look up to the darkening sky and sigh.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwpn2WWV54
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRIBbeFdoj
So this is it…our one hope is gone. Nao is a fool, a kind naive fool.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKBC8SUw8r
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUjHVlZjua
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…”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHUu708Kt7
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ofsLkgf99
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.

Anthony: “What the hell am I talking about…I lost that when those bullies made me….”

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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZwqjK7cys
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOJuofys1V
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d3qOYJdWO
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfPIRXnHaw
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.”394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbgjxmwHZC
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNsXrEQlEa
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxQVDwjYhR
I open my eyes to see the stars still falling, ignorant of my wish.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9QN5gFfa7

Anthony: “As per usual, I’m ignored. After all, I’m not one of you.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHebnBOp81
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iELQH2vRd
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…
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz6o1JOl86
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzNISYkv3p
Anthony: “W-What?”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNyIgVkj6T
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlaw02sJCj
Within my hands, a light shines through the cracks of my fingers. I open it to find something I always wished for.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY4SAMZsga

Anthony: “A-A star?”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UlHizpRRW

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